TUESDAY. On the Seahawks' deal for Kellen Winslow - NFC West Blog - ESPN The Seattle Seahawks have added two tight ends over the past 10 months with Pro Bowls on their resumes.

The Phinsider (Kevin Nogle) —
Over the past 10-days or so, the Phinsider Community has predicted the 2012 NFL Playoffs. We started by looking at the AFC and NFC playoff teams from last year. Then, using the average 50% turnover from year to year that seems to have become standard for the NFL postseason, we eliminated the six teams, three per conference, that made the tournament last year. After that, we took a poll of...

Former Bengals Defensive Tackle Jason Shirley Released By Carolina Panthers In a somewhat unusual and surprising move, former Bengals defensive tackle Jason Shirley has been released by the Carolina Panthers. Shirley was vying for a spot on the Panthers' 53-man roster and he seemed like a lock to make it. Apparently Carolina has other plans.
Buc 'Em (Sander) —
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers want to trade Kellen Winslow , but they may find that easier said than done. While Winslow has been superficially productive the past few seasons, he has steadily declined as a relevant part of the offense. It was painfully obvious last season that he had lost the ability to stretch the field, and he wasn't anywhere near the pass-catching threat he used to be. There...
The Falcoholic (Caleb Rutherford) —
In the spirit of bringing rival fans over to verbally abuse us (I'm kidding), I figured I'd follow Dave's post up with one about the good old Bucs. Perhaps the biggest free agent movers in the offseason, the Bucs went out and signed WR Vincent Jackson and OG Carl Nicks , two very stellar players. Rather than drafting Morris Claiborne - perhaps the best overall athlete - in the draft, the...
ESPN (Tim MacMahon) —
The Cowboys’ front office hasn’t exactly shown a bunch of confidence that Bruce Carter is ready to make a Sean Lee-like leap in his second season.The Cowboys signed Dan Connor, a starter the last two seasons for the Carolina Panthers, to a two-year deal worth $6.5 million. The company line is that Connor will compete with Carter, but it’s hard to believe the Cowboys would pay...

The Falcoholic (Dave Choate) —
Over and over this off-season, I've heard chatter about the Panthers. Pundits and fans alike are concerned about the Panthers taking a big leap forward in 2012 from their 6-10 record and two embarrassing losses against our beloved Falcons . A merely decent secondary, Cam Newton's growing pains and their usual brand of fun injuries definitely held the team back in 2011, and they had a...

Panthers receiver Steve Smith has spent 11 seasons in the NFL. And he now admits something that has, from time to time, bubbled up through his words, his actions, and his demeanor. “I have not always enjoyed it,” Smith recently told Sonja Gantt of WCNC-TV in Charlotte. Smith then explained a mentality that has plagued…
The Phinsider (Kevin Nogle) —
Over the past week, we've taek look at the teams most likely to miss the 2012 NFL Playoffs despite making it in 2011. With a 50% turn-over rate in the NFL's playoffs every year, there will typically be three teams from each conference that join the playoffs, having not been there the year before. After the vote post yesterday for the AFC, it's now time to turn our attention to the NFC. The...
Dawgs by Nature (Chris Pokorny) —
"The Sunday Five" is a loosely-titled piece where I talk about five NFL- or Browns -related topics related to this past week. In today's edition, we take a look back at the team's offseason programs, a hypothetical that only makes sense to ask in the dead of the offseason, the buzz that fullback Brad Smelley has created, and more. The Browns wrapped up their first rookie...
NBCSports.com: ProFootballTalk (Michael David Smith) —
After Panthers quarterback Cam Newton far exceeded expectations as a rookie, his coach isn’t worried at all about a sophomore slump. Panthers head coach Ron Rivera told the Charlotte Observer that Newton’s work ethic is as impressive as his athletic talent, and as a result Newton looks like he’s going to be better in 2012…
Yahoo.com: Shutdown Corner (Mike Tanier) —
Any website can post "offseason grades" for NFL teams, mixing the draft and free agency into transaction soup, then straining it through the mind of some sportswriter who doesn't know who half the players are. Only the Shutdown Corner has the resources to get actual players, coaches, and executives from each team to evaluate their own offseasons! That's right: over the next few weeks, you will...
Field Gulls (EequalsMc2) —
Thankfully, he's not competing for the QB spot this year. In my personal opinion, the word "competition" is seemingly overrated. It's a label that seemingly everybody, from coaches to fans and even the media misuse. Competition is utilized to bring out the best effort and passionate emotions from players and have the best man win the job right? How often does that happen in this league? In...
