Cleveland Browns' wide receiver Joe Jurevicius underwent a second knee surgery this week after experiencing discomfort and swelling in the surgically-repaired joint.
No determination has been regarding Jurevicius' availability for the start of training camp. |
The San Diego Chargers on Tuesday signed two of their 2008 draft picks, running back Marcus Thomas and tackle Corey Clark, to four-year contracts.
A fifth-round selection, Thomas rushed for 1,166 yards and 16 touchdowns as a senior at Texas-El Paso.
Clark, who was taken in the seventh round, was a two-year starter at Texas A&M.
Thomas is a pounding back and could easily surprise Fantasy owners in 2008. There is a chance he will get a shot to be the goal line back. Keep your eye on him to see how the Chargers use him during training camp.

The Chicago Bears have agreed to a deal with 2nd round rookie RB Matt Forte on a 4-year contract. The terms of the contract have not been disclosed.
Forte is considered to be the starter for the Bears when training camp opens up, but temper some expectations with the fact that the Bears offense probably won't be very good this year.

Carolina Panthers' second-year receiver Dwayne Jarrett pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated on Monday, receiving a 30-day suspended sentence, revocation of his driver's license, $420 in costs and fines, and 24 hours of community service.
The DWI places Jarrett in the league's substance abuse program, but it is unclear whether there will be additional penalties coming from the NFL following the guilty plea. |

Tennessee Titan's DE Jevon "The Freak" Kearse was arrested early Sunday morning in Nashville for DUI.
Nashville police say Kearse was "speeding and swerving several times" while behind the wheel. Kearse reportedly exhibited red eyes, slurred speech, and his breath smelled like alcohol when an officer pulled him over.
This is Kearse's first strike, so the league will likely not take any action against him.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Green Bay Packers are pursing a possible deal to acquire veteran defensive end Jason Taylor from the Miami Dolphins.
The Packers inquired about Taylor before the NFL Draft, but Miami's asking price was considered too high. The price has reportedly dropped, and Taylor is rumored to be pressing for a trade, so the Packers are exploring their options. |

 Mascot Love Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Johnson will undergo surgery to have bone chips removed from his ankle. This is something that the team asked him to do as soon as the season ended and he is just doing it now.
The team cannot be happy that he waited, but he should be ready by training camp....Unless of course he decides he needs some extra time to rest (and not practice)...

Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker was found unconscious on a Las Vegas street Monday after apparently being the victim of a robbery.
Police spokesman Bill Cassell said in a statement that Walker was taken to a hospital with "significant injuries" after being found early Monday on a street off the Las Vegas Strip.
Cassell said Walker remained in fair condition at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center.
Several sources have said that Walker had an "orbital fracture", which is a fracture of the bones around the eye socket, but this has not yet been confirmed.
This is not what Walker needed before the start of training camp, but we all hope that he is okay.

New York Giants WR Plaxico Burress showed up to the start of Giants manditory minicamp on Wednesday, but quickly proclaimed that he wasn't going to practice until the Giants negotiate a new contract with him.
Surprise, surprise, surprise the malcontent wants more money. I am getting so tired of this mentality. I say if he wants a new contract give it to him.......but with caveats.
Must attend ALL practice sessions.
Must keep his mouth shut.
Must keep out of jail.

The New Orleans Saints have agreed to a 6-year, $70 million contract extention with DE Will Smith on Wednesday. $26 million of the contract is guaranteed.
