Around The NFL (UPDATED)

The Saints locked up Darren Sproles. Great Move, he is basically Reggie Bush without the media attention. There will be hardly any setback in the offensive production from the Saints with Sproles taking over.

Roy Williams is going to the Bears. Now they will have an underachieving QB and an underachieving WR. Also both just had some marital problems so it's a good fit.

CB Jonathan Joseph went to Houston. Huge upgrade and does this mean they are out of the Awesome-hua mania. Still a nice piece.

The Falcons released wide receiver Michael Jenkins and defensive end Jamaal Anderson. It's about time, Jenkins sucked and with my boy Julio Jones there, he is no longer needed. Jamaal Anderson is just another bust defensive player.

Looks like Matt Light is coming back to the Patriots. Nice move figuring Solder will need some grooming.

***UPDATE***

- Ray Edwards has agreed to a five-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons.

- Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with former Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Moore.

- Vince Young has signed with the Eagles.

- Pittsburgh Steelers have released veteran offensive tackle Flozell Adams.

LT To Miss Week 3?

"The Chargers are unsure whether or not RB LaDainian Tomlinson can play against the Dolphins this week as he continues to recover from an ankle sprain. Tomlinson missed the club's Week 2 matchup vs. the Ravens, but the club didn't seem to miss him as they racked up over 450 total yards of offense, the strong majority of it through the air (ESPN)."

At this point who cares? It really is looking like LT is all done. Yes I bought into him having a comeback year, but Sproles is the much better player, and the Chargers showed they don't need him when they put up 450 yards on the usually strong Ravens defense. If I was them I wouldn't bring him back until he is 100%, then when comes back he should be the #2.

L.T. Should Not Start Anymore

The more and more I think about the more and more I believe Darren Sproles should be starting. For a couple reasons, L.T. has lost it. I really thought that he was going to have a monster year, but after seeing him take himself out against the Raiders for the end of the game really made me think, that this guy is not either a pressure player or just a flat out pussy. L.T. has continuously missed out on big games, and seems to have lost his explosive first step. Meanwhile, at 5'6 Darren Sproles is dying to have the ball in his hands anyway possible. He returns kicks, he is finishing out games (including play-off games) and I believe he is just flat out better at this point. This offseason when the Chargers thought about cutting or trading him, I thought they were crazy however, they might have been right.

Tomlinson To Lose Job?

"As the San Diego Chargers squeaked out a win over the Oakland Raiders on Monday night, they did it with LaDainian Tomlinson on the sideline following a rolled ankle. In fact, it was behind the play of understudy Darren Sproles that the team was able to upend their opponents. So what's the prognosis on Tomlinson? Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune noted that LaDainian was limping badly after the contest, but the running back did say, "It wasn't bad enough I couldn't play (ESPN)."

Watching that game last night you can just see that Sproles was the more affective back. I'll admit I bought into the whole rebound year for LT, but it looks like he is going to start really losing touches soon. I know it is week 1, but for fantasy owners this is something you are really going to want to keep an eye on.
