Well the NFL is in turmoil as it trys to extend the current CBA (Collective Bargining Agreement). Once again the start of the new season and free agency has been pushed back till 1201 am, on Thursday 03/09/2006.
Here is what is making fantasy news todate:
Shaun Alexander the NFL's Most Valuable Player, now he has the most valuable contract for any running back in NFL history. Alexander has agreed to an eight-year, $62 million contract to remain with the Seahawks, agent Jim Steiner said Sunday night.
Staying with the Seahawks is great news for Alexander's fantasy value, as he remains in the same offensive system that produced more than 5,000 rushing yards and 64 touchdowns the past three seasons.
The Packers re-signed running back Ahman Green to a one-year $3 million contract on Sunday that includes an additional $2 million in incentives, according to ESPN.
The Jets will be keeping Chad Pennington around. The quarterback has agreed to a restructured contract that provides the team with relief on the salary cap. Pennington would have reportedly counted as much as $12 million against the cap. "Our intention all along was to have Chad remain with the Jets and we never wavered from that," general manager Mike Tannenbaum told the Associated Press. "Chad is a courageous and talented leader. Throughout this process, he put the interests of the team ahead of his own, enabling us to reach an agreement on terms beneficial to both parties."
Pennington would have probably been released had he not agreed to the new deal. The Jets will still need to come up with another plan at quarterback this offseason—either in free agency or via the draft—since Pennington has undergone two rotator cuff surgeries in the last year.
Running back Reuben Droughns signed a three-year contract extension with the Browns on Friday. Acquired from Denver in a trade prior to last season, Droughns' 1,232 rushing yards in 2005 made him the first Browns running back in 20 years to run for at least 1,000 yards in a season.
Droughns has two consecutive 1,200-yard seasons and now appears to be the feature back in Cleveland for the forseeable future.
