Jackson is a good talent, don't think he fits on the skins though. RG3 will be out scrambling before Jackson gets 30 yards down field.

Don't think the skins have strong enough leadership to bring in a player such as Jackson. There's a reason the Eagles cut him...

Looks like a 3year deal, haven't heard dollar amounts yet.

A lack of a deep threat wasn't the reason the Redskins were the 2nd worst team in football last season...

RGMe and DivaSean Jackson on the same team? I'm sure that will end well. Snyder just will not let anyone take worst owner in the league from him. Jerry really tries, Jimmy Haslam is a shyster but Danny Boy is still the worst.

Pats get Chung back from Eagles after he was released.
Not an awe inspiring deal but good solid depth

Punting is bad?

http://media.nesn.com/2012/08/top-10...ruths-girth/5/

Myth: Football coaches who punt on fourth down are “playing the percentages.” Fact: Patriots fans and haters still debate Bill Belichick’s decision to go for it on 4th-and-2 against the Colts in 2009. As everyone remembers, Tom Brady completed a pass to Kevin Faulk that was spotted short of the marker, the Colts assumed possession and Peyton Manning led a game-winning drive. Many prominent analysts, including Sports Illustrated’s Peter King, lamented that Belichick did not play the “percentages” by punting in that situation. Turn on any close football game on Saturdays or Sundays in the fall, and you are sure to hear the announcers call punting the safe, high-percentage move. In fact, every statistical study on punting finds that going for it is almost always the higher-percentage choice. Punting on fourth down gives a team three chances to move the ball 10 yards, and if they fail possession reverts to the opponent. Not punting on fourth down gives a team four chances to move the ball 10 yards, and if they fail the consequence is… possession reverting to the opponent. (Field position mostly has a negligible effect.) Next time one of your Jets fan friends mocks His Hoodieness for that move, tell him Belichick was simply playing the percentages.

It's expected that the Titans will release Chris Johnson tomorrow.

Ravens sign Owen Daniels to a 1 year deal. Reunited with Kubiak.

Pretty sweet TE tandem now, with Pitta.

Bills acquire Mike Williams from Tampa for a 6th round pick. Williams has some off the field issues but his numbers are very solid. Lovie appears disinterested in offense once again.

So with the moves today it's pretty clear that Tampa Bay will draft a WR at #7, the Bills will probably take one of the remaining OT and the Titans will probably be the first team to draft a running back.

This has got to be the most wide open top 10 of a draft in a long long time.

Titans won't take a RB at 11. They will hopefully be able to grab either Carlos Hyde or Tre Mason in the 2nd round.

Saints sign Champ Bailey.

Personally, I thought he looked like he was done two years ago. With two quality safeties in Byrd and Vaccaro in the secondary, Bailey can hopefully still be effective.

He actually had a great year in 2012 until Baltimore came to town in the playoffs.

Really hard to get a read on what he has left based on the injury last year.

I know this....there isn't a better guy to add to your group in terms of leadership and character. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see him contribute in a major way for New Orleans.
