NFL Rumors – Tampa Bay Buccaneers Will Have Darrelle Revis Ready For the New Season
Not having Darrelle Revis rumors flying across the radar is somewhat of a strange feeling. Like any kind of addiction withdrawal, it gets a while to forget that not too long ago, everything we heard was about the New York Jets trying to trade Darrelle Revis to either the San Francisco 49ers or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, eventually landing in Florida and getting the contract he desired despite his quite worrying injury.

NFL Rumors – San Francisco 49ers Options of Handling the Michael Crabtree Injury
From Super Bowl favorites to what? Well, a season’s expectations never evaporate just because one wide receiver got injured, but the omission of Michael Crabtree for a substantial time will mean the San Francisco 49ers either recruit from the outside to fill his place (Brandon Lloyd being the top option) or simply rely on the existing core of Anquan Boldin, Mario Manningham, A.J. Jenkins and Quinton Patton can step up.

NFL Rumors – New York Giants in Trouble With Both Victor Cruz & Hakeem Nicks
Up until this point in the preparations chapter of the 2013 NFL season, it was quite clear the New York Giants have a problem with Victor Cruz, who is still negotiating a long-term contract with the team, not really advancing anywhere. The bigger surprise in the most recent turn of events is Hakeem Nicks also becoming somewhat of an issue, not showing up to the first OTA sessions, and not because he was injured.

San Diego Chargers & Oakland Raiders Sign Max Starks & Charles Woodson
The AFC West isn’t going to be as easy as it was last season for the Denver Broncos, or at least the San Diego Chargers and especially the Oakland Raiders won’t be as bad as they were. The Chargers added a much needed left tackle in Max Starks, while the Raiders brought home Charles Woodson, finally finding himself a team.

NFL Rumors – New York Giants Thinking About Hakeen Nicks While Negotiating With Victor Cruz
There’s an unwritten rule that you don’t pay two wide receivers a #1 guy’s salary, which means that the New York Giants aren’t just making life difficult for Victor Cruz because they want to low-ball him, but they’re considering the contract they’re going to need to give Hakeem Nicks when the time comes, and they see him, despite his less impressive numbers, as their top receiver for the next few years.

NFL Rumors – Tampa Bay Buccaneers Relishing Competition Between Josh Freeman and Mike Glennon
After throwing for over 4000 yards last season (the first time in his career), it’s hard to believe Josh Freeman will somehow lose his starting quarterback job to rookie Mike Glennon. Still, Greg Schiano drafted the former North Carolina State QB for a reason, and there’s a chance that by the end of the season, or possibly even earlier if things go really bad, we might see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers making a change.

New England Patriots – Rob Gronkowski, the Surgery King
When Rob Gronkowski is healthy, he might be the best tight end in the NFL. He makes Tom Brady and the New England Patriots very difficult to beat, but it looks like that scenario is becoming something of a fantasy one, as Gronkowski might be heading towards a back surgery, in addition to his fourth operation on his broken arm, making him damaged goods before he enters his fourth NFL season.

Denver Broncos – Last Chance to Make the Most of Peyton Manning
How much is there left in Peyton Manning? The early parts of last season suggested that the Denver Broncos took too much of a gamble, but things changed back to normal from week 6 and onward. Things went back to normal in the playoffs as well, as the Broncos lost a home game in the AFC divisional playoff game. Manning knows how that feels all too well.

San Diego Chargers – Signing Dwight Freeney Was the Best Move Possible
No team can succeed without a pass-rush, and losing Melvin Ingram, the player the San Diego Chargers were planning to use as their premier pass-rusher next season, forced them to dive into the free agency market once again, hoping to still find something worth paying for. Dwight Freeney is past his prime and doesn’t operate well in a 3-4 defense, but he still is the best possible solution for a bad situation.

Seattle Seahawks – Bruce Irvin Continuing Murky Tradition With Performance Enhancing Drugs
With Chris Clemons recovering from a knee injury, second-year player Bruce Irvin was supposed to take over the position, backed up by 8 sacks during his rookie season. Now, the Seattle Seahawks signing both Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett and overloading the pass-rushing situation, as Irvin became another player in a long list of Seahawks members suspended under terms of the performance-enhancing drug policy.
