New England, MA:
Remember what we said about LaMont Jordan, and that he'd be signed by the end of the month? Well the Patriots picked him up last night in a move that solidifies their backfield, likely resulting in Jordan taking over from Kevin Faulk as the Pats 3rd down specialist, and Laurence Maroney's backup.
Sammy Morris figures to have a battle on his hands with Faulk to maintain the 3rd spot on the depth chart, particularly with Faulk's good form last season.
Green Bay, WI:
Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy has broken the Packs' silence regarding their QB issues - He's standing by their 2005 1st round pick Aaron Rogers, meaning that either Favre will be the greatest backup in history, surpassing Steve Young at the 9ers, or will be traded to the Jets or Buccaneers.
St Louis, MI:
The Rams are calling star running back Steven Jackson's bluff - they are refusing to negotiate a new deal with him until he turns up to training camp - whilst both sides figure to be in a strong position (The Rams can allow Jackson to rack up the $15k a day fines whilst seeing if Antonio Pittman is up to the job, then apply a franchise tag in 09) whilst Jackson knows he's arguably the key to a Rams bounce-back from a disastrous 2007, particularly as Pittman is for the main untried in the Rams offence.
