Titans Unlikely To Pick Up Option On Jake Locker

Nov 11, 2014 7:34 AM

The Tennessee Titans aren't likely to pick up the option year on Jake Locker's contract for 2015.

The Titans could consider giving Locker a new contract after the 2014 season, but they clearly don't trust him enough to pick up his option now.

The Titans have Charlie Whitehurst as Locker's backup and they could look at the draft for another quarterback.

Ryan Clark Visits Seahawks

Oct 12, 2014 6:54 PM

The Seattle Seahawks hosted Ryan Clark for a visit on Friday, but he left without a deal.

Clark has also drawn interest from the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens.

Clark may be an odd fit for the Seahawks considering how infrequently Chris Maragos played last season behind Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor.

Woodson: Al Davis Would Have Signed DeSean Jackson

Oct 15, 2014 3:30 PM

The Oakland Raiders have interest in signing DeSean Jackson, a move that Charles Woodson endorses.

"Bring him in, I think he would look good in the Silver and Black," Woodson told KGMZ-FM last week, per ESPN.com. "Of course I know the business side of it, but I've watched this guy and what he is, is a dynamic football player."

Jackson was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday.

"There is no question in my mind that this is the type of player that Al would bring in," Woodson said. "You hear about the off-field stuff but I don't think Al would concern himself with that too much. I think Al would do his homework. But I think he would take a serious hard look, and if there was an opportunity I think he would bring that guy in.

"DeSean can stretch the field, and we know how much Al loved having guys that can stretch the field. So I don't think there is any question he would bring him in."

The New York Jets currently have the lowest cash payroll in the NFL at $86.1 million.

Their once-top-heavy cap has thinned to the point where only three players have cap charges of at least $7 million -- D'Brickashaw Ferguson ($11.7 million), Nick Mangold ($7.2 million) and David Harris ($7 million).

John Idzik has systematically dumped many of the Jets' highest salaries.

Rams Open To Trading 2nd Overall Pick

Oct 30, 2014 11:58 AM

The St. Louis Rams own the second overall pick and are open to trading down.

“(We have) not really had any discussion with anybody, but that doesn’t mean to say we won’t," Fisher said. 

The Rams traded the second overall pick in 2012 to the Washington Redskins in a blockbuster deal that won't likely be matched due to how valuable Robert Griffin III was in that draft.

"But I think it’s highly unlikely that even if we did trade out that would we get the value that we did the first time around," Fisher said.
