Jim Kelly doesn't understand why the Jets brought in Tim Tebow, but the Bills legend is glad they did. Kelly, who starred in Buffalo from 1986 to 1996, said he's wishing for "so much turmoil in training camp" that all of a sudden New York's locker room "is coming apart." "They open with the Buffalo Bills first game of the season in the Meadowlands (MetLife Stadium), so this could be very exciting," Kelly said on the NFL Network.

The Cowboys may be done making moves this offseason, but that isn't because they don't have any cap space remaining. Dallas has $7.18 million in cap space at the moment, according to figures released by Pro Football Talk. That number factors in the $5 million penalty the team incurred a few months ago for operating outside of the "spirit of the rules" when giving Miles Austin a front-loaded deal during the uncapped 2010 season.

Drew Brees should know within a week if he'll collect nearly $4 million more than the NFL says he's due if he's franchise-tagged for a third time in 2013. The Saints quarterback, who was represented by the NFL Players Association, had an hour-long grievance hearing before arbitrator Stephen Burbank on Wednesday in Philadelphia. The hearing was to gain clarity on the interpretation of franchise-tag rules and the contract's total value, and Burbank said he'd rule on the issue within a week, according to a league source.

Brett Favre tarnished the beloved reputation he earned during 16 seasons with the Packers with multiple retirements and comebacks, including runs with the Jets and Vikings. It doesn't appear that he can ever fully return to the status he had during the height of his career, but the quarterback may be trying to get back in Green Bay's good graces. Michael Hunt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel notes that Favre has departed from his past stance of saying little about his successor, Aaron Rodgers. In a recent interview on NFL Network, Favre had nothing but praise for Rodgers. "Aaron Rodgers, I knew when I left, this guy has all the tools," Favre said. "He can beat you with his feet. He's got a great arm, extremely accurate, handles the cast around him perfect."

The NFL will give teams flexibility to avoid television blackouts this season, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The league will allow games to be broadcast in their local markets with as few as 85 percent of tickets sold.

Cedric Benson is still on Oakland's radar, according to a report. ESPN's Adam Schefter has suggested that the Raiders could float an offer to Benson just before training camp, or soon after it opens.

Brian Urlacher is tired of hearing people fawn over the Packers and Lions. "It's perfect, and just the way we like it," Urlacher told the Chicago Tribune. "If you look at what we did last year before Jay (Cutler) got hurt, we won five in a row. When Jay went down, you saw what happened after that. When we're healthy, I don't see a better team in the NFC North. "Last year, Green Bay and Detroit were in the playoffs, so they should be talking about them. I don't know if they got any better in the offseason, but I know we got better."

LaDainian Tomlinson's recent comments about preferring a spot in the Hall of Fame to a Super Bowl ring say a lot about his career, according to a source. "That's why the Chargers could never win the big one," the source said. "L.T. was selfish and a selfish leader. They had all the talent in the world and should have beaten the Patriots [in 2006], but they couldn't do it because they had too many guys like L.T. and he was the ringleader." "LaDainian was a great player, but he was never a champion and he never behaved like one," the source added.

The Bills lost nine of their last 11 games last season, but C.J. Spiller is optimistic about their chances in 2012. Buffalo hasn't made the playoffs since 1999, but the running back has his sights set higher. "We split with New England [last year]," Spiller said. "We had the Giants on the ropes. We are close to being a Super Bowl team." He didn't stop there. "Every year we expect to win and make the playoffs and make a run, but we don't just want to make the playoffs, we're trying to get to the Super Bowl," Spiller said. "Why get to the playoffs if you're not trying to win the Super Bowl? That's the ultimate and that's what we talk about is being champions. If you're not trying to be a champion as we say, 'You're in the wrong business.'"

The Falcons have agreed to terms with safety Chris Hope. Hope started 109 games in 10 seasons with Pittsburgh and Tennessee.
