Quarles, Kelly are no-Shows at workout April 11 St. Petersburg Times: "Linebacker Shelton Quarles and cornerback Brian Kelly did not attend the Bucs' first organized team activity, fueling more speculation that both might be gone when the season starts."
Kiffin still debating over who's No. 1 April 11 Contra Costa Times: "Wide receiver Calvin Johnson already has met with Raiders officials. Quarterback JaMarcus Russell is scheduled to do likewise in the coming days. Yet, neither one is a sure thing to be selected by the Raiders with the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft April 28. New coach Lane Kiffin confirmed the Raiders already have fielded several trade offers and will continue to do so... For the record, Walter said he considers himself the starter regardless if the Raiders trade for Josh McCown, whom they reportedly have approached the Detroit Lions about, draft Russell or whoever else signs before the season."
Williams, McCown: Good-bye? April 11 Detroit Free Press: "Wide receiver Mike Williams and quarterback Josh McCown were conspicuously absent from the Lions' first off-season practice Tuesday... Though McCown has been supportive in his backup role, he wants to move on now. The Raiders are interested in trading for him, adding intrigue to the upcoming NFL draft."
Pacman Gone for year, may not return April 11 Nashville Tennessean: "NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell came down hard on Pacman Jones on Tuesday, sacking him like a blitzing linebacker might take down an unsuspecting quarterback. It's a staggering blow for the Titans cornerback — a suspension for the 2007 season that may take as much as $3.1 million out of his bank account... Titans owner Bud Adams, however, said there's no guarantee Jones has a future with the team."
Sauerbrun's return still possible April 11 Denver Post: "The NFL Players Association is fighting a technicality in the original contract Sauerbrun signed with the New England Patriots in December. If he wins the grievance, Sauerbrun will become a free agent and can sign with any NFL team. Sauerbrun has made it known his preference is to play for the Broncos."
Future plans? April 11 Boston Globe: "Cornerback Randall Gay came away from his visit with the Jets yesterday without a contract offer. The deadline for restricted free agents to sign offer sheets is April 20."
Giants in the market for veteran backup QB April 11 Newark Star-Ledger: "Former Cowboys quarterback Anthony Wright is scheduled to meet with the Giants, the NFL Network has reported. The network did not say when the visit will occur... The Giants have also shown an interest in former Jets and Dolphins QB Jay Fiedler, so it's clear they're looking for a more experienced veteran to fill one of their two backup quarterback spots."
Packers talking to cornerback James April 11 PackersNews.com: "The Green Bay Packers have engaged in preliminary contract talks with free-agent cornerback Tory James... The other three teams that remain interested in James are the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Oakland Raiders, according to Bartelstein."
Edwards could be Dolphins' pick April 11 Miami Herald: "Stanford QB Trent Edwards has emerged as a potential second-round Dolphins option. Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller went to Calif., to give him a private workout last week. . . . Notre Dame's Brady Quinn looked very sharp in his Dolphins workout in South Bend, Ind., on Tuesday, someone in attendance relayed. Quinn stayed after for a while to talk with Cameron and Mueller."
Panthers have plenty of options at 14 April 11 Gaston Gazette: "Most draft experts believe LSU’s Laron Landry has solidified himself as a top 10 pick following a strong Pro Day, which means the Panthers might need to trade up if they’re interested in him. However, it appears Florida ballhawker Reggie Nelson will be there at 14, so he could be an option."
