The Giants are
expected to bring only four quarterbacks to training camp.
They'll decide between Jared Lorenzen and Anthony
Wright, according to the NY Post, with David Carr and
Andre Woodson safe behind Eli Manning. Carr
reportedly has the "inside track" for the No. 2 job. Eli better
stay healthy. |

NFL Network's Adam
Schefter reports that the Patriots brought in Kevin Jones
for a meeting last week. For now, they are just performing due
diligence as Jones recovers from his torn ACL. But it would be a
classic Patriots move, picking up an undervalued asset that has
plenty of versatility. Jones excels in short-yardage situations
and receiving downs, not exactly Laurence Maroney's strengths. |

Roddy White
was held out of the Falcons' minicamp practice Monday with a
"tweaked" hamstring. Coach Mike Smith called White's lack of
participation "precautionary." White, who led the NFL in yards
after the catch last season, is unlikely to benefit from a toned
down passing attack under new coordinator Mike Mularkey. |

The Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons WR Joe Horn
said Monday, May 12, that he would like to be traded. "I want to
win a Super Bowl and I want to win a Super Bowl here in Atlanta,
but I don't think I can help this team win a Super Bowl sitting
on the bench. |

opportunity to compete for the starting quarterback job in
training camp. "It's the most excited I've been going into a
season," Orton said. "I've put in a lot of work in the offseason

Kellen Winslow
(knee surgery) is not expected to attend Browns OTAs. Other
injured players like Steve Heiden (back) and Joe Jurevicius
(knee) will be there. The Cleveland Plain Dealer suggests
Winslow's absence is contract related. Upgrading Winslow's deal
is not currently the team's priority. |

According to the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch, if the Rams want to keep RB Steven
Jackson beyond 2008, it's going to cost the team. Jackson is
entering the final season of the original five-year, $7 million
deal he signed in July 2004 after the Rams made him their
first-round draft choice (No. 24 overall) that year. |

Houston rookie RB
Steve Slaton, drafted by the Texans in the third round,
is getting plenty of snaps to show coach Gary Kubiak what he can
do. "I'm just trying to learn the system, trying to get the
plays down so that I can make an impact right now," said Slaton,
the 89th overall pick. "The pass plays and the pass protections,
that's where my biggest trouble is coming from." But the Texans
have six running backs on the minicamp roster.
Ahman Green
and Chris Brown are the top two on the depth chart. |
