Jets have told quarterback Tim Tebow that they plan to use him on special teams as the punt protector.

His career might be trending downward as of now, but just want until Sanchize starts believing his own hype again. Then Tebow stock will be on the rise again.

Actually, that sets up quite the dynamics for a LOT of fake punts. I can see him taking the direct snap on a 4th and 2 at the Jets 40, or letting the punter lob him a soft ball on a short yardage.

Have you seen the early part of the Jets' schedule? The NY media and fans will be screaming for Tebow to take the reigns by week 5. 3 of their first 5 games are the Steelers, 49ers, and Texans...

NFL Increases Roster Size To 90 Players - SB Nation DC

[SmootSmack]

Per Jay Glazer the Vikings have signed former Bengals WR Jerome Simpson to a 1 year contract.

In related news, Simpson was suspended for the first 3 games of the 2012 season for selling weed. So the lesson here is sell it don't use it, you'll get to play one extra game

Is Simpson on the same boat as TW and Davis as far as being an infraction away from a year's suspension?

That is good news. I'll start to sell weed today since obviously it is not a big deal.

Yeah I feel that's a bit off imo. I would punish the seller more than the user actually, that's not a good example for the community to follow and we all know how the NFL tries to promote a good wholesome family image.

Three year deal for Asante Samuel...

Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter
Atlanta has agreed to terms on a 3 yr 18.5 deal for Asante Samuel, per league source.

Anyone know the details of the trade though?

[Monkeydad]

Late-round pick from Atlanta. Samuel takes a big paycut from his current 2 year/$21.3mil deal with Philly. New deal is 3 year/$18.5mil.

Going from $10.65mil/year to $6.17mil/year.

Wow, Atlanta gave up only a 7th rounder.

[Monkeydad]

Osi available for a 3rd-rounder.

Osi Umenyiora thinks it’s possible NY Giants will trade him, DE says he’s looking for a long-term extension - NY Daily News



Also, Packers released Nick Collins whose career is over from a neck injury.

I would have never guessed Samuel could be had for a 7th round pick

Thought the same thing...but then again his contract is significant

But they re-did his contract...I'm just surprised b/c the Iggles usually rob a team blind in their trades.
