Here is what is making headlines this week.

The New York Daily News reports that the Jets have approached Pennington about taking an $8 million pay cut. No word yet as to whether Pennington will agree to such a dramatic decrease in pay. He is scheduled to earn a $3 million roster bonus next month. Pennington would be able to recoup the lost money by reaching several incentive bonuses. Of course, he would have to stay healthy for an entire season to reach those incentives, which is hardly a lock given that he has had two shoulder surgeries over the last two seasons.

While the Jets decide whether or not to cut quarterback Chad Pennington and the $9 million he is due to earn in 2006, at least two of Pennington's teammates would rather not have him back. "I think we should release him; he's too injury-prone," an unidentified player told the New York Post on Thursday. "He's like an egg back there," another player said. "I mean, look at the ways he's gotten hurt. He hasn't even been hit that hard. The injuries have come from awkward hits and falls. I think we should just cut him."

The Cardinals signed quarterback Kurt Warner to a three-year contract on Tuesday, according to the team's website. Financial terms were not disclosed. Warner had 2,713 yards and 11 touchdowns in 10 starts for Arizona in 2005. Warner would have been a free agent next month if the two sides didn't agree on a deal. His presence is good news for the fantasy value of both Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, who may have had to adjust to another new quarterback if Warner had left. This signing makes it very unlikely that Josh McCown will be a Cardinal next season. This is good fantasy news for us owners. Warner had a decent year last year until he was injured, now another year in this system and throwing to Boldin/Fitzgerald, Warner might just become the fantasy QB he was in St. Louis.

Not fantasy news, but you all know how much I love the Bucs. So I had to put this picture of my boy derrick Brooks, who was the Pro Bowl MVP.
