With Cincinnati Not an Option, Where Will Terrell Owens Go?
It’s that time again. Time for a good, hard look around the league, quickly analyzing all the options remaining for a big-name free agent. This time around, it’s Terrell Owens. Again.

After a long, brilliant career in San Diego, where LaDainian Tomlinson wrote the Chargers rushing record book in a fashion that may never be duplicated, the future Hall of Famer was finally released.

2010 NFL Free Agency: Top 10 Quarterbacks
The NFL has 32 teams, and of those teams, there are 23 of them that have a bonafide elite starter or a young passer that is deemed the “franchise passer”, at least for now. That means roughly nine teams could or should be looking at the quarterback position in the 2010 NFL Draft, and it [...]
Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Sam Bradford vs. Ndamukong Suh For Top Pick

He passes to set-up the pass. His offense thrives on blowing the other team’s offense out of the water, making less mistakes, and [...]

Jay Cutler in Chicago: Work in Progress or Failure?
The 2009 NFL season is over for the Chicago Bears. Both because it’s now 2010, and because playoff season has started. The Bears, at 7-9, will not be taking part, despite once hoping in the off-season that their ambitious trade for Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler would make them a complete team. After a horrid [...]
Kevin Roberts’ NFL Power Rankings Week 17
We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn’t just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, “Who can’t?”. Speaking of former unbeaten [...]
