I first posted the Jets one in the shout.. but there are some decent little nuggets that might make some interesting draft day news..


http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/DMN-Our-first-look-at-the-NFL-schedule.html 

News and notes around the league

1. The Jets recently reworked Santonio Holmes contract to lower his base salary, so the amount of money thats deducted for his upcoming suspension will be less. When Holmes was traded, most of his money due in 2010 was in the form of his base salary, but since he became a Jet, the team shifted the money into roster bonus, reporting bonus and signing bonus so Holmes would pay as little as possible for his fine. This clearly cannot make the NFL league office happy and goes against the spirit of the suspension.

2. Speaking of the Jets, they are actively shopping guard Alan Faneca, defensive end Shaun Ellis and linebacker Bryan Thomas and will probably waive these players after the draft. You might be surprised to read Fanecas name, but hes the first to go after the draft.

3. The Cowboys would part with defensive end Marcus Spears, linebacker Bobby Carpenter, wide receiver Sam Hurd, safety Pat Watkins and lineman Cory Procter for the right price. All of them are being shopped around the league.

4. Ive been asked several times if the Raiders would take Idaho guard Mike Iupati in the first round. My answer is that it doesnt make sense, but who knows? The Raiders have done a ton of work in recent weeks on linebacker Rolando McClain of Alabama, and although he doesnt have Raider speed, he would be a good pick for them.

5. Im still hearing the Raiders would be willing to trade any corner on their team, Nnamdi Asomugha, Chris Johnson and Stanford Routt are all available.

Our first for Asomugha? I'd do it in under zero seconds.

I'm surprised to hear the Jets are going to get rid of Alan Faneca.

Faneca ia the nugget that drew my attention the most.. that would help build in a little protection at guard.

Also.. Bryan Thomas would be a serious upgrade over Poppinga.. IMO.

Bryan Thomas is not a good rush OLB. If we draft an OLB, I don't think we have any room for him.

Faneca will be available Monday?

If he could be signed for a reasonable short term deal.. I would love to bring his experience aboard the Packers.. it would lock down any lingering questions on the interior of the line.. and allow us to shift Colledge outside for one last shot at preserving his career in GB.

Cifton            Spitz        Wells      Sitton       Tauscher
Lang/Bulaga       Faneca       Spitz      Faneca      Lang/Bulaga  
Colledge          Colledge               
And cut the dead weight after that... BTW.. I think looking at all factors, especially footwork, that I am not completely sold that Lang wouldn't be a better long term option at LT. With that said.. I have no problem letting Bulaga start there.. as I think Lang could be more versatile. Did I mention I liked Lang. ;)

Report: Jets will cut Alan Faneca Monday
Posted by Josh Alper on April 24, 2010 6:51 AM ET
It seems that where there was smoke there was fire concerning Alan Faneca's future with the New York Jets.

Manish Mehta of the Newark Star-Ledger is reporting that the team will formally announce the veteran guard's release on Monday. Reports surfaced early last week that Faneca could be on the way out of Rex Ryan's clubhouse and picked up steam through the first two days of the draft.

The Jets were shopping Faneca for a trade, but the $7.5 million they didn't want to pay him was likely a deterrent for other teams as well. With $5.25 million of that contract guaranteed, the Jets clearly don't think Faneca's presence is necessary for them to make a run back to the AFC Championship Game and beyond.

Massachusetts offensive lineman Vladimir Ducasse was the team's second-round pick, another signal that a change was coming, and when G.M. Mike Tannenbaum spoke with reporters Friday night he didn't do much to throw anyone off the scent.

"Alan's on our team. He's done a lot of great things for us. I know this weekend that there's typically a lot of transactions that happen, but he's on our team and Alan's done a lot of great things for us."

The past tense would appear to be the only tense for Faneca and the Jets going forward.
