A few minutes with … Cullen Jenkins

Count Texans among Asomugha suitors

Three and out: Little has fantasy sleeper appeal

Fantasy owners should remember the name Greg Little on draft day — the Browns rookie wideout could become a very nice sleeper in 2011.

First and 10: Bills’ Johnson on ‘Total Access?’ OMG

With all the news lately about players putting their feet in their mouths via Twitter, be sure to tune into “NFL Total Access” on NFL Network tonight. Their in-studio guest will be none other than Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson.

One could argue there’s a perception building that the role of free agency will be an afterthought in how teams build their defenses to get after the quarterback next season. But that perception might be wrong.

After tweeting about his potential final days in New Orleans during the draft, Bush ruffled some feathers by making fun of being locked out. Saying that he was enjoying his time on the beach instead of, you know, trying to get better at football.
