Philadelphia Eagles 1 hour agoDid Justin Tryon do enough to make the Redskins' final roster?
Redskins Insider | Washington Post — Third-year cornerback Justin Tryon intercepted a pass and broke up another Thursday night in a 20-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. But did Tryon do enough? Before his performance in the preseason finale, Tryon was on shaky ground to make the opening 53-man roster, according to people with knowledge of the situation. And it's doubtful he could have done enough in the last preseason game to effect a major change in his situation. "I think Justin can play in the league," defensive coordinator Jim Haslett said after the game. Tryon, a fourth-round pick in 2008, was a major contributor last season...

New York Giants 1 hour agoDumping Patrick Crayton proves money is priority
Dallas Cowboys Blog | ESPN Dallas — ARLINGTON, Texas – Why the heck would finances influence the Cowboys’ 53-man roster decisions in an uncapped season that will end with a Super Bowl in Jerry Jones’ $1.2 million football palace? I asked that question to Jerry this afternoon as he stood in his jewel of a stadium. “Well, I don’t know that it does, first of all,” Jerry said. “That’s a given that I’m not ready to say does.” OK, but let’s be honest. The Cowboys just traded Patrick Crayton, a productive player owed $2 million this season, to San Diego for a seventh-...

- Three things we learned Seahawks Blog | Seattle Times 1. Charlie Whitehurst throws a heck of a deep ball.He might get a running back killed in the flat with the way he leads him square into an oncoming safety, but send a receiver sprinting down the sideline and Whitehurst will put the ball right there on him. He completed three passes of more than 30 yards Thursday in Oakland, all to different receivers. Just as important, he avoided the interceptions that had coaches clenching their teeth in the previous three exhibition games. Whitehurst's final exhibition game was a bookend performance that was every bit as good as his first game.2. The runnin...

ESPN.com reported it will be a sixth-round pick. Wells played seven seasons for the Cardinals after being taken by the team in the sixth round in the 2003 draft. From South Park, Pa., Wells played at Clarion in Pennsylvania, so he will be close to home with the Eagles.

He moved from left guard to right this off-season, ...read the rest of ...
