Panthers add D.J. Hackett (WR)

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments

The last exciting offseason offensive acquisition, in the past few weeks, was D.J. Hackett (WR) signing with the Panthers. Though his career has been somewhat injury plagued (due to an injury, then re-injury of the same ankle), Hackett is a stellar WR. He’s only 26 years old, tall (6’2″), has good speed, and excellent hands. [...]

Bryant Johnson (WR) joins the 49ers

March 17th, 2008 · No Comments

The 49ers finally add a young, very talented WR to their offense. At 26 years old, with 500+ receiving yards last year as the Cardinals 3rd WR, Bryant Johnson has enough experience (and skill) to be the Niners #1 WR in 2008. Johnson has excellent hands, and is blazing fast. In a pass happy Mike [...]

Raiders add two WRs: Javon Walker & Drew Carter

March 15th, 2008 · No Comments

Now, Green Bay will have Aaron Rodgers as their starting QB for the 2008 season. Fantasy football analysts predictions have been mixed on how he’ll do. I’m calling it right [...]

Bears add two WRs: Marty Booker and Brandon Lloyd

March 8th, 2008 · No Comments

Marty Booker (WR) returns to his old stomping grounds and Brandon Lloyd (WR) gets a fresh start in Chicago. When healthy, Booker was a good receiver in Miami. Lloyd didn’t do jack in Washington. Back in Chicago now, even if Booker is a starting WR, his best years are behind him and he’s not worth [...]

Seahawks sign two RBs: Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett

March 8th, 2008 · No Comments

The Seattle Seahawks signed two 26 year old RBs Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett. Poor Julius Jones cannot get away from TD Vulture RB teammates. Last year was Jones’ least productive year. At times, it was almost like he was an afterthought in the Cowboys offense. In Detroit last year, with limited touches, Duckett averaged [...]
