The Dallas Morning News has reported that Mike Jenkins is calling the starting right cornerback job his . He did so on his blog: It’s my job to lose , but there’s a guy behind me with nothing to lose. If he makes a mistake, it’s not going to cause him to lose his job. If I make a mistake, the coaches are going to take a long, hard look at me in that position. That’s the nature...

Mike Gandy's Future - Cardinals OLT Mike Gandy has a hefty cap figure of $5.8 million entering the final year of his contract, which could be lowered if the team chose to extend his current deal. But our sources in the desert believe the team is leaning toward allowing the ninth-year veteran to test the free-agent market next offseason, with former first-round pick Levi Brown moving from the right...

(By Charles Chandler, cchandler@charlotteobserver.com) The five-month Julius Peppers saga took two dramatic turns Wednesday. First, the Carolina Panthers announced their Pro Bowl defensive end had finally signed his offer sheet and would play for them this season.

ALAMEDA There's a regal presence to him, a stateliness that defies logic. After all, the mild-mannered scion of higher education has a day job that requires him to inflict as much physical pain as possible, to separate man from ball, to keep man from catching ball. And he does it all better than anyone at his position. Of course the majestic Nnamdi Asomugha stands out in a crowd, except for...

With this coming week's final OTA, the Raiders 2009 offseason will have concluded. We then have a lull in football activity as we await the start of the 2009 season with the Raiders reporting to the training camp complex in Napa at the end of July. The only news that we can really expect is the July signings of their 2009 draft class. All the draftees are expected to be inked and in camp by the reporting...

Were they handing out free Muscle Milk at Jack London Square and nobody told me? Many Raiders were nowhere to be found when the team convened for an OTA practice this morning. Here's a list of the missing, and I'm probably forgetting someone: CB Nnamdi Asomugha, QBs Jeff Garcia and Andrew Walter, RB Darren McFadden, DEs Derrick Burgess and Jay Richardson, DTs Tommy Kelly, Gerard Warren (Warren watched...

No, not this year's. We've discussed it to death, haven't we? I was looking over the last several years, and most of these players are at least still playing for the Raiders (although that 2002 draft didn't work out for them so well). Some of them are even starting for other teams. 2008 1. Darren McFadden , RB, Arkansas 4a. Tyvon Branch , DB, Connecticut 4b. Arman Shields , WR, Richmond 6. Trevor Scott...
