Skinny Posts: Will Edge stay?

  • There is some thought that perhaps Edgerrin James won't get cut after all.  He's been a nice story and all this post-season, but he's still a below average starting running back.  Barring a 200-yard game in the Super Bowl, I don't think there is much chance he's back in 2009 at $5 million. A ring would bolster his Hall of Fame credentials, though
  • Ken Whisenhunt learned something about having a consistent message from Dick Lebeau.   Expect me to talk about Dick Lebeau way too much this week as I join the Steelers players in trying to get this man into the Hall of Fame discussion next year. 
  • Cardinals curfew starts on Wednesday.  If the players are going to have fun in Tampa, it will be the next two nights before the families arrive en masse later in the week.  I'll never forget Laurence Maroney intentionally losing at 10PM at the Madden Bowl last year because otherwise "Belichick will be looking for me."
  • Worth hitting this link just for the picture of Dan Rooney and Barack Obama.  It's been quite a year for Rooney considering the impending sale of the team.  I wrote about the Rooneys and Bidwells as the ninth storyline we won't get sick of this week. 
  • The Chiefs shouldn't assume much about Tyler Thigpen.  He could be the answer, but you can't count on it. Something tells me Scott Pioli won't be counting on it. 
  • Kerry Collins already has a promise to start for the Titans next season.  Where does that leave Vince Young? Will anyone possibly want to trade for him?  I doubt Collins gets a similar promise elsewhere, so he should be back in Tennessee.  
  • The Spanos' are unsurprisingly not happy about the LaDainian Tomlinson/A.J. Smith feud.  I've already seen the San Diego media contingent this morning, so I'll ask them for the skinny on the matter once they get over the jet lag.   
  • The Eagles are sticking with Marty Morningweigh as offensive coordinator.
