Matt Maiocco's Instant 49ers | Santa Rosa Press Democrat — There were plenty of questions today about tight ends and the 49ers' speculated interest in Leon Washington and Jared Gaither.

San Francisco 49ers 11 hours agoA busy week
Kent Somers' Cardinals Blog | Arizona Republic — It appears the Cardinals are going to have free agents visit all week. They had two in today, defensive end Nick Eason from the Steelers and Chiefs guard/tackle Wade Smith. Both left town without offers, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Cardinals tried quickly to get something done with Eason. End is his primary position but he also has some experience at nose tackle. He reportedly has an offer on the table from the Steelers, so the Cardinals are going to have to surpass that to get him to move West. It's been widely reported that outside linebacker Joey Porter is ...read the rest of t...

- Does Andre Carter have a place in Redskins' new scheme? Redskins Insider | Washington Post Defensive end Andre Carter is coming off the best season of his nine-year career.In addition to ranking seventh in the league with 11 sacks, Carter was fourth among NFL linemen in tackles, third in tackles for loss and sixth in forced fumbles. He also played the most snaps - by far - among Redskins defensive linemen. After such a productive season, Carter would seem to be a cornerstone of Washington's defense. But the Redskins are shifting from a 4-3 base to a 3-4, which could be a problem for Carter. He struggled as a stand-up outside linebacker for one season with the San Francisco 49ers and...

- Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback to be decided FFToolbox.com When Kurt Warner retired in January, Matt Leinart was unofficially named the Arizona Cardinals' starting quarterback. But credit head coach Ken Whisenhunt. He isn't making anything official. He is going to have the still-young and still-unproven NFL quarterback show that he deserves to start. Whisenhunt said in a Tuesday radio interview that the Cardinals would sign a quarterback to compete with Leinart for the starting spot. Whisenhunt said he has a "great deal" of confidence in Leinart. But he said he won't just hand the job over to Leinart until he "goes to three Pro Bowls" and the Super Bo...
- Mike Martz: We have two starting running backs in Chicago FFToolbox.com When the Chicago Bears signed Chester Taylor last week, we knew it would mean a decrease in Matt Forte's fantasy value. But from the words of offensive coordinator Mike Martz, the dreaded running back-by-committee situation could be upcoming in the Windy City. Martz intends to utilize both Taylor and Forte at running back and insists that it doesn't matter which player is officially listed on the depth chart with the No. 1 offense. "We'have two starters," Martz said according to the team's official Web site. "That's how we look at it. We're fortunate to have two starters. As you look around th...
- Thomas Jones signs with Chiefs FFToolbox.com Running back Thomas Jones was a 1,400-yard rusher for the Jets last year, but the team didn't want to pay nearly $6 million for him in 2010 and wanted to get younger in their backfield. So the Jets cut Jones. Now Jones will get a chance to backup one of the better young rushers in the league. Jones signed a two-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday, where is expected to be a change-of-pace runner behind Jamaal Charles. Jones will get $3 million in 2010 and $2 million in 2011. Jones, who will be 32 years old in August, is also eligible to earn $500,000 in incentives. FANTASY ANALYS...

- Jim Sorgi to backup another Manning FFToolbox.com Quarterback Jim Sorgi has become sort of a cult figure in the NFL for backing up a guy who has never missed an NFL game in his 12 seasons, Peyton Manning. Now Sorgi will do the same for his brother Eli, who has started 87 consecutive games. Sorgi signed a one-year deal to join the New York Giants on Monday. This occurs two days after the Giants lost their main 2009 backup, David Carr, to the San Francisco 49ers. Sorgi has played in 14 games in six seasons with the Colts. He has thrown six touchdowns and one interception in that time. The 29-year-old Sorgi went on injured reserve last December...
