The New England Patriots were phenomenal a couple years ago and they were pretty darn good last year without Tom Brady. It looks as if they are going to be phenomenal again unless Tom Brady’s knee isn’t so nice.
The Patriots offense is looking better then ever and they have all sorts of firepower. [...]
I believe the New York Jets defense should be pretty good this year with the players they have. It should only make the defense better now that Rex Ryan is the head coach and should influence what the defense runs. The Baltimore Ravens were one of the best defenses in the past decade.

Brett Favre has finally spoken out on his latest ‘will-he, won’t he’ retirement saga, after confirming he has had arm surgery and is interested in playing with the Minnesota Vikings next season.
The Buccaneers worked out free agent wide receivers D.J. Hackett and Drew Bennett at One Buccaneer Place on Tuesday afternoon. It is unclear whether the Bucs plan to sign either player. Raheem Morris indicated the Bucs aren’t interested in pursuing Plaxico Burress.

At the end of last season, safety Kenny Phillips was 202 pounds. During the offseason program this spring he watched his weight tick up, pound by pound, until it reached 217. Phillips, who usually has trouble putting on weight, changed nothing about his diet or workout regimen. All the added weight was muscle, not fat, [...]
The Denver Broncos signed free agent wide receiver Brandon Lloyd on Monday. Per club policy, terms of the deal were not released.
