Marshawn Lynch was charged with three misdemeanors after getting arrested last week. They are all gun-related, and he won’t be charged with marijuana possession. (Officers originally looked at Lynch's car because they smelled marijuana.) Unlike Plaxico Burress, Lynch has already got some “good” news in his difficulties. This may be because of different gun laws in California or because his firearm didn't go off. A NFL suspension seems inevitable, but this seemingly will make jail much easier to avoid and possible limit the suspension. Long way to go still of course.
Great reminder from Mike Lombardi: "From this day forward, never — and I strongly mean never — believe that a player and a team cannot make up. Never believe that there is finality in anything as long as great money is involved."
Lombardi is using Shane Lechler as an example, but the same holds true for all the stories you read about Anquan Boldin, Julius Peppers, and other disgruntled stars over the next few months. Most of it is noise except for money-related issues.
The uncapped 2010 league year could make it harder for the Chargers to keep LaDainian Tomlinson. Anyone reading the article linked would also conclude that a long-term deal with Darren Sproles sounds unlikely.
Jim Caldwell is sending verbal warm and fuzzies to Marvin Harrison, but he’s not making any final decisions. It would be shocking if Harrison is on the 2009 roster. (I'm essentially in the 27th round of a dynasty draft now where we start 10 IDPs. Harrison is still on the board. Harry Douglas and Devery Henderson were the last two wideouts taken.)
The Chiefs offense will change under Todd Haley, but the return of offensive coordinator Chan Gailey has to be good news for Tyler Thigpen’s chances for continued relevance.
The Saints are "dying for a power back." That can’t be good news for Pierre Thomas.

what?!
With that news on Pierre, can you say we jumped the gun on anointing Thomas as a major contributor next year, especially over Bush? This worries me.
