Cowboys RBs coach
Skip Peete says rookie Tashard Choice is a "very intense,
physical blocker when it comes to pass protection."Since Felix
Jones has little experience in pass pro and isn't built well for
that job, Choice may be second in line behind Marion Barber for
third-down work this year. That's assuming Dallas keeps three
backs active on game days. |

Roydell Williams
(ankle) will not participate when the Titans break for
Organized Team Activities on Thursday. Williams broke the ankle
in practice late last season. He had screws and a plate inserted
at the base of his tibia during surgery. Williams started 14
games in 2007, but needs to get healthy with increased
competition at wideout. |

The Tacoma News
Tribune, reports the Seattle Seahawks will not renegotiate WR
Bobby Engram's salary for the 2008 season. The team is
adamant he play out the final year of his contract, after which
they would be willing to negotiate with Engram when he is a free
agent. Engram is protesting the team's voluntary four-day
minicamp because he believes his contract is unfair based on his
record-setting production in 2007. |

PhiladelphiaEagles.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles QB
Donovan McNabb did not practice the final day of minicamp
because the coaching staff felt he threw too many passes in the
first two days of two-a-day practices. |

NFL Network's Adam
Schefter reports the Ravens and MLB Ray Lewis have hit a
stalemate in talks regarding a long-term extension. Schefter
says the sides are nowhere near an agreement. The Ravens know
Lewis won't take plays off just because he's in a contract
season, it'll be up to him to lower his asking price if he wants
to stay in Baltimore. |

Coach Mike Holmgren
says Julius Jones and Maurice Morris "will both
play" this year, but he has to "kind of see how we are going to
use T.J. Duckett." "Fullback, halfback," Holmgren said of
Duckett. "He has been a halfback but I would like him to move
into fullback a little bit." Still, Duckett would seemingly have
the most defined role as a short-yardage specialist. The
Seahawks will have a heavy committee at running back this year. |

Free agent Chris
Henry says he wants to play for the Cowboys or Saints.:
Jerry Jones all but ruled out pursuing Henry after he was waived
by the Bengals. The Saints could use him, but the NFL seems
highly unlikely to let Henry play this season after he
(allegedly) beat up an 18-year-old in April. |

ESPN.com, reports
the Denver Broncos have shown interest in free-agent RB Shaun
Alexander (Seahawks), which may lead to the team parting
ways with RB Travis Henry. However, the team isn't
focusing on Alexander at the moment. |

Roy Williams
reiterated Wednesday that he's happy to be a Detroit Lions, but
that on draft day he "thought (he) was out of here." Williams
says Rod Marinelli called him just once in March, but said "it's
done. You're not going anywhere." Williams will be in a more
conservative offense this year, but is playing for a contract.
Safely expect 1,000 yards. Williams added that he anticipates
being hit with the franchise tag next offseason. |

Colts signed RB
Dominic Rhodes to a one-year, $605,000 contract. Their next
move could be cutting Kenton Keith, who during his recent
arrest bragged to police that he was an Indianapolis Colt. At
this price Rhodes is no lock to be on the Week 1 roster, but
since he knows the offense, has a slight advantage over Mike
Hart. Joseph Addai's backup situation is muddled. |

| Drew
Stanton and Dan Orlovsky are not threats to Jon
Kitna's starting job for 2008. Stanton is reportedly
throwing "loose" passes at OTAs and may have been set back by
Mike Martz tinkering with his mechanics last offseason. |
