BFD just posted a great piece contrasting backup QB's Dan Orlovsky and Rex Grossman , but in it he made quite the bold statement: "It’s also why the Orlovsky signing is, so far, my favorite off-season move (including the draft)." Wow. I wasn't crazy about the Orlovsky signing because of the amount of money they gave him until I heard him talk a bit. As BFD points out, Orlovsky is more...

Lost amid the havoc that Miami Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter was wreaking on opposing NFL clubs last season was the success of teammate Kendall Langdord, who was a rookie defensive end in 2008.

The rebuilding (building?) started by picking USC outside linebacker Brian Cushing with the 15th pick in the draft....
