A couple weeks into free agency it’s time to take a look at the impact the signings so far have had on the fantasy football landscape. Some of them – the Randy Moss re-signing, for instance – are pretty straightforward. But a few of the deals will have ramifications beyond the signees themselves.

Onto other NFL news: Defensive tackle Warren Sapp officially announced his retirement as well. He’s been overrated for a few years now but certainly made an impact in his prime, helping Tampa Bay go from chump to champ. Punter Sean Landeta, who last played in 2005, hung up his single-bar facemask. And Steve Christie … think about it … yeah, the kicker from Buffalo that also hasn’t played in three seasons, also decided to hang it up, signing a one-day contract with his former team. What’s with these guys that have been out of the game forever – especially kickers – pretending anyone cares whether they have officially retired or not? (more…)
First, hire a new coach every other season.
Second, re-sign a good, not great, injury-prone defensive tackle (Tommy Kelly) to a $50 million, seven-year deal with $18 million guaranteed as he recovers from an ACL tear.
Third, sign a solid, but injury-prone safety (Gibril Wilson) to a six-year, $39 million deal with $16 million in guaranteed money.
Fourth, there’s the deal with the underachieving tackle from San Francisco (Kwame Harris), another $16 million over three years.
Finally, sign a wide receiver with multiple knee issues who caught seven passes in the last five games of the season last year after missing most of it due to the injury and who reportedly still might need microfracture surgery (Javon Walker) to a $55 million, six-year deal with $16 million guaranteed.
Any questions?
It’s almost as though the Raiders are trying to find as many injury prone dogs as possible to force Lane Kiffin into an unwinnable situation so they can replace him too. Hmmm.
After listening to the media coverage and thinking about it myself throughout the day I’ve decided I don’t believe Brett Favre is retiring. It’s just not going to happen.
First off, the team went 13-3 last year and, despite Favre, was the youngest team in the league. Few predicted such a run heading into the season and this team overachieved its way into the NFC Championship game. (more…)
For the first time since the third game of the 2002 season someone besides Brett Favre will quarterback the Green Bay Packers’ next game.
In a move that will have sportscasters from John Madden to Dan Dierdorf crying in their Wild Turkey ‘til training camp starts, Favre has informed the team that he’s hanging up his cleats after 17 seasons, 16 of which were with the Packers, according to FoxSports.com and the Biloxi Sun Herald.
No word yet on whether Madden will further discuss his man-crush on Favre. But Packers GM Ted Thompson, acknowledged Favre in a mid-morning statement at www.packers.com. “The Packers owe [Favre] a tremendous debt of gratitude,” he said. “He has given Packers fans 16 years of wonderful memories, a Super Bowl championship among them, that will live on forever. Brett’s many accomplishments on the field are legendary.”
