NFL owners unanimously voted to alter the draft order based upon overall team record, as well as to pass the so-called “Hochuli Rule” that allows for replay review when a fumble is incorrectly ruled as an incomplete pass, like what happened to the Chargers in week 2 last season in Denver (and, no, I’m not going [...]

The Chargers were one of 16 teams awarded 2 compensatory draft picks.  San Diego now has 3 fourth-round picks in the upcoming draft.  Pursuant to league rules, teams who have lost “more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year” is eligible for these compensatory picks.  Since the Chargers lost Michael Turner to [...]

Apparently Eric Mangini, the former fired Jets coach, is (out of the goodness of his heart?) trying to help the Jets trade for disgruntled Donkey QB Jay Cutler who continues to emulate Terrell Owens with endless lamentations of his unhappiness level.  As of now, the Jets have draft picks and salary cap money, but not [...]

It’s a happy day for Chargers fans as LaDainian Tomlinson agreed to a 3-year restructured contract to stay in San Diego.  While the terms of the contract have not been disclosed, suffice it so say that it’s enough to give the Chargers salary cap room.

Igor Olshansky has accepted a 4-year, $18 million contract with the Dallas Cowboys.
Apparently LaDainian Tomlinson has received the Chargers‘ ”final offer” which, likely, involves a pay cut from the expected $24 million he is expected to make by 2011 under his original contract.  It’s up to LT now to decide how badly he wants to remain in [...]

I’d like to know what idiot leaked the “news” that the Chargers put Antonio Cromartie on the block to go after Drayton Florence.  Come on, Florence was released for a reason, and why would one even think that Cro might be on the outs after one subpar season?  The guy was hurt all year (rumors [...]

Cassel’s a Chief, Haynesworth is overpaid, and nobody wants Cutler

New England traded Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel to Kansas City for a 2nd round pick this year.  Apparently a failed menage-a-trois with NE, KC and Tampa Bay went sour as Cassel would have gone to Denver and Cutler to the Bucs (did anyone even know that Cutler may actually leave Denver?), but Denver allegedly balked [...]
