Edward P. Roski Jr. plans to build an $800 million stadium to bring an NFL team to Los Angeles.
Roski, a developer, plans to construct a 75,000 seat stadium with 175 suites. He plans to either purchase a team or become a minority partner, according to Bloomberg.
“A Los Angeles NFL team would become a part of the fabric of the community and a source of pride, just like the Lakers are,” Roski said at a new conference at Staples Center. (more…)
While checking out ProFootballTalk for their take on the the Jared Allen situation (which is largely the same as ours–that is, blatently re-wordin all of Jay Glazer’s information–although we were able from making any comparisons of Glazer to furry rodents), we noticed that they are also reporting that Steve McNair has told the Ravens that he will retire.
It was probably time, too–the Ravens have to have been considering a QB in round one of the draft, even if McNair had returned–with his injury history, and only the generally regarded bust Kyle Boller and last year’s rookie project Troy Smith as the only QBs on the roster, they couldn’t have felt too comfortable.
Still, I tend to think that the Ravens would much prefer to find a replacement for Jonathon Ogden, who apparently has also been considering retirement–they have a couple guys with some potential, but after 10 years of having LT locked down by one of the best, the thought of losing Ogden has to be scary for the Ravens and their QBs.
NFL Network is releasing the 2008 NFL schedule as I type. While this really doesn’t mean that much it’s always one of my favorite days of the off-season.
This year there are a few interesting tidbits. The first thing that jumped out at me is that Miami will visit Buffalo in Toronto this year. Yes, it’s been well-known that the Bills were playing a home game north of the border. (more…)
Jacksonville has extended the contract of quarterback David Garrard by signing him Monday to a seven-year, $60 million deal.
The agreement, according to media reports, includes $20 million in guaranteed money, including a $9 million upfront signing bonus.
Holy Hannah. (more…)
It might be time for the Cincinnati Bengals to completely clean house. Per ESPN Radio’s Max Kellerman via ProFootballTalk.com, Chad Johnson expressed dismay with the team’s decision to cut Chris Henry.
“Are you sure,” he apparently asked Kellerman. “Many, they can’t let him go. That dude is good. He’s very, very good. … We need him. Those are not easy shoes to fill, regardless of the trouble he has gotten into in the past.”
Johnson clearly does not get it. Henry’s five arrests and his other baggage necessitated this move – it probably should have been made two or three incidents ago when it became clear Henry thought himself above the law. (more…)
Cincinnati wide receiver Chris Henry, arrested four times in 14 months and suspended for the first half of the 2007 season, was arrested again and accused of punching an 18-year-old man in the face.
According to the Associated Press he also broke the man’s car window with a beer bottle. (more…)
