I am hearing that San Francisco, Oakland and the New York Jets are the three teams ahead of the pack in the sweepstakes for free-agent cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Antonio Cromartie.

Fantasy killer Darrelle Revis will be on Patriots WR Randy Moss this week, which leads to an interesting question — to play or not to play Moss this week.

It was only a matter of time before someone on the Ravens responded to the latest round of bravado from the Jets. Enter Ray Lewis.

Perhaps what we saw of the Jets on HBOs Hard Knocks was simply a prelude to what we’ll be hearing during the season. The Jets have taken on an all-or-nothing mantra this season, and aren’t afraid to talk about it. Ever.
