Chris "Beanie" Wells took exception with his reputation as having durability issues during his first press appearance with the Cardinals. "I missed three games in three years," he said, "so I don't understand the durability question. ... I played the whole 2007 season with a broken wrist. "I've never been a part of a football team where I've had such a great quarterback and so many great wide receivers," he said. "I've always been a part of a team where the box was getting stacked with eight, nine men. It's exciting to be part of an organization where I'm not going to be the focal part of the offense."

Vontae Davis, selected by the Miami Dolphins, has been described as having potential character problems. "Please tell the Dolphins fans how I really am," he said, wrapping up a phone conversation from his grandmother's home in Washington D.C. "I'm the total opposite of what they say."

The Buffalo Bills are preparing to run a no huddle offense in 2009, according to a team source. "The no-huddle lends itself to guys that are big-play guys, because if you get a defense that's just a little fatigued, just a little off their first-step quickness, and you get the explosive guys, they can hit the home run," said no huddle pioneer Sam Wyche. "They have those quick-strike guys."

The Broncos released running back Selvin Young on Thursday. They used the 12th overall pick in last weekend's draft to take Georgia running back Knowshon Moreno, and will have a half-dozen tailbacks competing for playing time.

The crafty folks at ProFootballTalk.com are monitoring the flights that come in and out of Hattiesburg-Laurel airport, which is famously home to Brett Favre. A flight from Minneapolis arrived at 9:11 AM on Wednesday and a departing flight took off at 4:14 PM on the same day. Favre was released by the Jets this week, which has fueled speculation that he will come out of retirement and sign with the Vikings.

According to Warren Sapp, former teammate Brad Johnson was the 'snitch' that provided the infamous below quote to ESPN. "He's insecure about it. The thing that bothers me more than anything about this problem is that it's always something with him -- San Fran, Philly and here, always something. And he brings other people into it. You know, he talks to Sam Hurd and Roy Williams, who just got here and doesn't really know these guys. T.O. talks to him and so now he probably thinks Witten politics with Tony for the ball. "That's so far from the truth. You think Tony is throwing to him because that's his buddy? His best buddy is Bobby Carpenter, and that's not helping him too much. It's crazy to think that, and I hate that he acts that way." At the time, Jason Witten was blamed as the 'snitch', which was illogical considering the quote.
