 A recent report has hit the wire that former first round pick and Cincinnati franchise QB Carson Palmer is admittedly requesting a trade immediately. Palmer is under contract with the Bengals until 2014, and has threatened to retire if his demands are not met.
 Several teams throughout the NFL are looking for a starting QB. Carson Palmer has felt the worst of the fans in Cincy, especially this season finishing 4-12.

  We have been following this trade since the the start of the season in hopes that our hometown team the Dallas Mavericks may benefit from Melo's talents. Looks like he will be a New Jersey Net in a few days.

Randy Moss is a Minnesota Viking again!!

That's Right! Randy Moss is now officially back with the team that drafted him. The New England Patriots traded Randy Moss for draft picks that will give them full control of next years draft. They will have 2 picks in each of the 4 rounds, but who really wins here. The Pats lose a proven hall-of-famer that stretches the field like no other. This has allowed players like Wes Welker and their new addition Whitehead to get the ball underneath and be effective. Bill Belichek has confidence in the "system" in the hands of Tom Brady to keep the Pats an offensive juggernaut, but having no Randy Moss could change things. Minnesota gets a reciever! The Vikings are in a desperate need of a reciever and ended up with one of the best to every play the position. They tried to get Vincent Jackson earlier in the season, but tslks fell through with the Chargers. We all know Farve is in his final season (if he makes it) and the addition of Randy opens up the entire offense. Adrian Peterson, Shiancoe, and even Percy Harvin stand the benfit the most by having the big play threat on the field. Randy Moss does not get his contract extended, but does negotiate to become an unrestricted free agent if the Vikings don't sign him long term.
