The Point After | Boston Herald — Tight end Ben Watson, who just ended a disappointing career with the Patriots, delivered at least one memorable moment (or two).

- Dolphins eyeing Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan Palm Beach Post The draft is 41 days away, so a lot could change. But one NFL scout said the Dolphins like Morgan, a defensive end who would play outside linebacker in Miami, if he falls to No. 12.
- LT in the house Green Machine | Bergen Record Ex-San Diego RB LaDainian Tomlinson is visiting the Jets’ Florham Park complex right now, one day after he visited with Minnesota but left without a deal. The Jets are in the market for a veteran RB after choosing to let go of Thomas Jones, but Tomlinson is coming off the worst season of his NFL career. Frankly, I’m not sure the ‘original’ LT doesn’t have more left in the tank after watching this LT against the Jets in January in the playoffs. We’ll keep you posted.
- Dolphins eyeing Georgia Tech’s Derrick Morgan The Daily Dolphin | Palm Beach Post The draft is 41 days away, so a lot could change, but one NFL scout said Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan is picking up steam with the Dolphins. Morgan was considered a surefire top-10 pick a month ago, but as some players, like Maryland offensive tackle Bruce Campbell and USF's Jason Pierre-Paul, ...

- LT is in the building The Jets Stream | New York Daily News Really, what more do we have to say? Well, we'll say a few more things. LaDainian Tomlinson is meeting with team officials at the Jets' Florham Park, N.J., headquarters, where he presumably will get a tour of the relatively new digs and a chance to meet all the key people in the organization, perhaps even some players. On this day, the green carpet is red. Tomlinson isn't being made available to the media.
- The Favre factor The Jets Stream | New York Daily News One of the best subplots of the LaDainian Tomlinson recruitment is the Brett Favre factor. Will he play in 2010? Tomlinson has said he wants to play for a Super Bowl contender. Certainly, the Vikings fall into that category, but only if Favre is on the team in 2010. Favre, who has mastered the art of avoiding his team's off-season program, probably won't announce a decision on his future until July or August. You have to wonder if the Jets are using that uncertainty in their recruitment of Tomlinson. The Jets, for a change, have quarterback stability. They know Mark Sanchez is going to be arou...
