Marshall Headed to Miami Dolphins

Just a day after rumors that WR Ted Ginn was on the Miami Dolphins' trading block, sources have told ESPN that the Denver Broncos will trade bad boy WR Brandon Marshall to the Dolphins for a 2nd-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, as well as a 2nd-round pick in next year's draft.  

"Marshall is scheduled to fly to Miami to take his physical and, if he passes, sign what will be one of the most lucrative wide receiver deals in NFL history, according to league sources."

Marshall, who is a one of the best receivers in the league, will help this offense greatly.  This might allow the Dolphins to hold on to Ted Ginn and allow him to hold down the slot position, which is a position he is better suited for.  This also makes the AFC East a lot more interesting, because this is a definite answer to the New York Jets' trade for the other troubled WR Santonio Holmes.  

Ben Roethlisberger Will Not Face Charges

Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged with sexual assault after the end of over a month's worth of investigations.  ESPN reports that District Attorney Fred Bright will announce on Monday that charges will not be brought against Roethlisberger. Roethlisberger isn't out of the woods just yet though, as he is also facing a civil lawsuit over sexual misconduct in Nevada. 

Well...  Great news for Big Ben, as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers.  This is the second time in a year that Ben has faced sexual assault charges, and one can only hope that he learns from these experiences.  

Tebow Should Not Attend Draft

In a move that was clearly made to boost ratings last week, Chris Mortensen of ESPN, reported that Florida quarterback Tim Tebow would be invited to attend the Draft in New York City.  Tebow, who has been projected as a second round pick, would be invited to the second day of the draft.  Although this sounds like an entertaining idea,

Tomlinson to the Jets

LaDainian Tomlinson finally made his choice today: the New York Jets.  Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the Jets and Tomlinson agreed upon a two-year deal.  This past week, L.T. visited both the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets, but finally agreed to join the backfield of the Jets.  He will join Shonn Greene in the backfield, and hopefully replace some of Thomas Jones' production.  Jones, who spent the past three years as a Jet, was released this off season and has since then joined the Kansas City Chiefs.  

Larry Johnson Reaches Agreement with Redskins

Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that the Washington Redskins have agreed on a contract with RB Larry Johnson today.  He will come into training camp as the no. 2 running back behind Clinton Portis.  Johnson, who fell out of favor with both the fans and team in Kansas City, was released and then picked up by the Cincinnati Bengals, where he averaged 4.4 yards on 46 carries.  The deal has incentive clauses that, if met, would push the contract up to $12 million over 3 years.  

Brackett, Colts Agree to Deal

Indianapolis Colts  Defensive Captain, Gary Brackett, will be staying with his team according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.  Early this morning, Brackett agreed to a deal that will keep him in Indianapolis for the next five years.  Brackett was the captain and a huge influence in the locker room, so it's a very good move for the Colts.

It's also a good move by the Colts because they were able to get the deal out of the way fast, enabling them to focus on some of their other areas of need.  Due to the non tender of CB Marlin Jackson and Tim Jennings, the Colts will now switch their focus to the secondary, whose play was non-existent in their Super Bowl loss to the New Orleans Saints.  They have started the process by offering a first round tender to Pro Bowl safety Antoine Bethea, and a second round tender to Melvin Bullitt.
