– The Bears re-signed Rex Grossman to a one-year, $3 million contract. Kyle Orton will likely be given the chance to earn the starting job, but Grossman isn’t a terrible backup plan. Plus, they’ll probably add a quarterback via the draft that maybe they can groom and then re-evaluate the position in 2009.
– The Cardinals will not trade Larry Fitzgerald. They consider him a core player and will look to lock him up long term.
– The Boston Globe is reporting Patriots’ cornerback Asante Samuel wants a 10-year, $100 million contract. That’s just freaking ridiculous, especially considering several teams consider him a “system cornerback.” He’s still going to get filthy rich, just like Nate Clements last year.
– The Bucs are interested in recently released RB DeShaun Foster. He would be a nice insurance policy in case Cadillac Williams is slow to recover from the season-ending knee injury he suffered last season. Although, Foster just can’t be counted on in a full-time role with his injury history.
– Cowboys inked LB Zach Thomas to a one-year deal. The length of the contract is certainly understandable given Thomas’s age and concussion history.
– The Lions will reportedly trade DT Shaun Rogers within a week. The guy could easily be the best interior defensive lineman in the league if he just had a better work ethic.
