- Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski should listen to what Shooter McGavin says and stay out of his way, or he’ll pay.
- The bidding war for Plaxico Burress‘ services will start whenever the lockout ends. But as Steve Serby of the New York Post writes, football won’t be a priority for the wide receiver when he’s released from prison this morning after serving 20 months.
- Once he finishes basking in his freedom and shifts his focus to football, Burress could be a highly courted commodity. Over the weekend the New York Daily News laid out Burress’ likely landing spots, giving the Eagles, Rams, and Jets the best odds. The Steelers and Giants were also thrown in as longshots, but Cincy Jungle has another idea.
- Drew Rosenhaus thinks Burress will indeed be a top free agent.
- There’s a chance–and I’m really just guessing here–that Rosenhaus is trying to promote his client by saying great things to anyone who wants to listen. The scouts Dan Pompei of the National Football Post talked to didn’t exactly think teams will be trampling each other to get to Burress.
- Steelers Lounge pays tribute to John Henry Johnson, the Hall of Fame running back who died over the weekend. He starred for the Steelers, 49ers, and Lions over 13 seasons.
- Cortland Finnegan used a tired line typically reserved for overweight bloggers to relay his opinion of the league’s new rules and his thoughts on Roger Goodell’s knowledge of the game.
- Matt Roth, the Browns’ linebacker who will be an unrestricted free agent, spoke positively about re-uniting with former Cleveland defensive coordinator Rob Ryan in Dallas.
- Ravens defensive tackle Terrence Cody hasn’t let the lockout transform him into a human blimp, so that’s good news.
- Mark Sanchez laughed at the salary cap, and jokingly showed the budgetary limits of a 12-year-old at a toy store.
- Superheroes strangely being combined with football players to make an alternate league during the lockout seems like a fitting way to end today’s links. Happy Monday everyone.
