Money. They have to afford more talent to fill in their weak spots. This likely means that I will get to see my fellow alum, Keenan Burton, receive some passes, assuming they keep him around after barely using him last year.And the Rams are releasing Torry Holt and Orlando Pace. That's crazy.

This just in... Jon Gruden will join ESPN's Monday Night Football announce team. I believe he'll replace Tony Kornheiser. I like Mr. Kornheiser on PTI (which I'm watching right now), but he can be a bit cynical (perhaps mildly speaking) on the set.

With Minnesota Vikings players scheduled to report to training camp in less than a week, Brett Favre remains anguished about whether he should come out of retirement and join the team.
