2009 NFL Offseason

Echoing last week’s report from Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, John Eligon of the New York Times reports that any plea deal reached between prosecutors and Giants receiver Plaxico Burress will require the man who blew a hole through his leg with an unlicensed weapon to spend time in jail.

Apparently, the reduction of charges from second-degree possession (which entails a mandatory minimum sentence of 3.5 years) to third-degree possesion (which doesn’t) is a common tool employed by prosecutors, based on factors such as the defendant’s criminal history, the reason for carrying the gun, and the circumstances surrounding an arrest.

In a statement late Tuesday, owner Pat Bowlen announced that the Broncos will attempt to trade Jay Cutler. SI.com's Peter King reports that the team plans to execute a deal before the April 25-26 NFL Draft.

"Numerous attempts to contact Jay Cutler in the last 10 days, both by Head Coach Josh McDaniels and myself, have been unsuccessful," Bowlen said. "His agent earlier today clearly communicated and confirmed to us that Jay no longer has any desire to play for the Denver Broncos. We will begin discussions with other teams in an effort to accommodate his request." The Jets, Lions, and Bucs will likely be Cutler's most ardent suitors.

The 49ers, Bears, Panthers, Redskins, and Vikings may also show interest.

Anquan Boldin told a radio station in Palm Beach Thursday that he "would love to" play for the Dolphins. "I’m a Florida guy, always will be a Florida guy at heart," Boldin said, confirming he still wants out of Arizona. "If it happens, I’ll definitely be grateful." A Boldin trade doesn't seem likely until right before the draft.

Teams need to start putting a "no whining" clause in their contracts

That would me trade him to somewhere completly opposite of what he wants. What's been lost is that being a professional athlete is a privelage, not a right. I'd take a 10 year career on a shitty team over the 16 I've spent jockeying a desk.
