The Current Headlines:

For the week ending July 13, 2008:

7/12 - Favre can rejoin GB as a backup - The Packers do not plan to release QB Favre and he is welcome back to the team as a backup QB.  A trade will probably be in the future here.

The Last Week's Headlines:

For the week ending July 6, 2008:

7/6 - SEA to wait to name starting RB - HC Holmgren will not name a starting RB until training camp.  Morris &  Jones both to have roles in the offense.
7/4 - RB Clayton looks good at SF OTA's  - Frank Gore is the man in SF but it always helps to know who the backups are.  
7/3 - Pack to move on without QB Favre.   - GB looks to be ready to hand the reigns over to Aaron Rogers.  Favre done in GB
7/3 - Bills plan more catches for RB Lynch. - Last year Lynch come off the field in 3rd & long.  This may not be the case this year.
7/2 -QB Favre dismisses talk of  comeback. - Where there is smoke there may be fire.  Keep an eye on this to see if Favre plays for another team in 2008.  Our gut feeling is the Aaron Rogers era is set to begin in GB.
7/2 - Bears agree to terms with RB Forte. - Keep Matt Forte on your radar come draft day.  He could easily end up the starter in CHI, and would represent value if drafted later in your draft.
7/2 - RB Davenport interested in Lions? - Kevin Smith is unproven and Tatum Bell has an injury history.  DET may be an opportunity for Davenport to finally secure a starting RB job.
7/2 - HC Martz wants 25 touches for RB Gore. - Keep an eye on this when training camp starts.  If there is any indication Gore will receive more touches in the passing game, his value will skyrocket.
