DeAngelo Hall Thinking About Becoming A Raider
Former Atlanta Falcons cornerback, DeAngelo Hall, says he will complete a contract deal with the Oakland Raiders by this coming Thursday. Hall will be making his way out to Oakland on Wednesday afternoon to meet with officials and talk about signing a big deal.
It is rumored that Raiders are going to trade their second round pick in this coming draft in order to acquire Hall. It is also being said that DeAngelo Hall is to expect a deal just below what Asante Samuel got with the Eagles just a few weeks ago. Samuel signed a six year deal worth $57 million.
A lot of money has been spent in Oakland this off season hopefully their record can show for it in this years upcoming season

Dan Klecko Now A Fullback In Green
Dan Klecko was just recently signed to a two year deal by the Philadelphia Eagles this afternoon. The former defensive tackle is going to be converted to the fullback position.
"Everything I've ever done at fullback has been very raw," Klecko said. "This is going to be a whole learning experience."
Weighing in at 275 lbs this monster will have to lose at least 20lbs and learn all the secrets of the fullback position in order to lead Westbrooke to a great rushing season.
Eagles released their last year's starting fullback, Thomas Tapeh, and also are hoping for some backup from Jason Davis who was the Eagles practice squad in 2007.

Jason Taylor Still A Dolphin
Jason Taylor said during a radio interview that he will remain a Miami Dolphins player in the upcoming 2008 NFL season.
"Look, I'm under contract with the Dolphins," Taylor told Sirius Satellite Radio on Saturday. "That's where I want to be. It's where I am, and I'm not retiring. ... There's been no agreement. Is it possible that something happens in the future? They can decide to do whatever they want. They're in charge."
Bill Parcells, who is now the Dolphins executive vice president of football operations also told ESPN that Talyor will remain in Miami unless he chooses to retire.

NFL? Really?
Justin Gatlin, Olympic sprint champion with two doping offenses, showed off his skills to NFL scouts Wednesday during Tennessee's pro timing day.
I wasn't there, but I am assuming this is a publicity stunt. There can't be serious NFL interest? I realize speed is a huge part of football, but it is not the only part.
Gatlin is hoping to have his doping bans removed so he can compete this summer in the Beijing Games.

I'm Staying Home
Eagle fans, please hold back the tears. Two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has agreed to a new $40 million, four-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals.
This new deal includes $30 million in guaranteed money. Fitzgerald said he will make $33 million over the first three years of the contract. This is slightly more then he would have made in two years under his old contract.
The Cardinals wanted to renegotiate Fitzgerald's incentive-laden rookie contract because he had reached many of the benchmarks and was to receive $14.6 million in 2008 and just under $17.4 million in 2009.
The new deal will save the team $8.842 million in cap room, dropping his salary cap number from $16,485,000 to $7,643,334. This new contract will lock up Fitzgerald through 2011, when he still will be only 28 years old. Arizonia originally was hoping for a 6 year deal, but in the end Larry got is way.
Fitzgerald, a one-time ballboy for the Minnesota Vikings, led the NFC in receptions with 100 last season for 1,409 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning his second Pro Bowl bid in four seasons. At 24, he has 330 career catches for 4,544 yards and 34 scores in 60 games.
Fitzgerald has said all along that he wanted to remain with Arizona, the team that chose him as the third pick overall out of Pittsburgh in 2004.
Fitzgerald was to leave later Tuesday on a trip to South America.
