rookie contracts Stories - The Falcoholic
Duane Brown Is No Travis Johnson
I hope with every fiber of my being that the title of this post works on countless levels, but Texans fans can rest assured that it works on at least one--our first-round pick won't miss a snap of training camp, thanks to signing a five (5) year deal worth $11,500,000.00 in the wee hours of the...
Tennessee Titans Camp Opens Today!!
Today is a day that most of us have been waiting for since the final seconds ticked off the clock in the playoff loss at San Diego. The Titans will be on the field for their first training camp practice today at 3:30. That means football season is upon us and hope springs eternal. The opening of...
Five Down, Two To Go: Antwaun Molden and Steve Slaton Sign

Roger Goodell To Rookies: Your Salaries Are Crazy
I've noted in this space how insane I think rookie contracts are.

And The Last Shall Be...Second? Alex Brink Signs!
Courtesy of Megan Manfull, we learn that Alex Brink has signed a contract with your Houston Texans, meaning that the last two picks of the Texans' 2008 class are the first to agree to terms. While Brink is almost surely destined for the practice squad this season (I'm still not buying Kubes'...
Dominique Barber First Rookie To Sign
Since he'll only be pulling sixth-round money, I imagine Dominique will still let his big brother pick up the tab at dinner. Still, it's a good sign that D-Barb will be at training camp on time so he can start fighting for time at one or both of the safety spots. Now that he's broken the ice,...
