With all of the speculation surrounding free agent quarterbacks and those who might be available via trade during these locked-out times, one name who hasn’t been setting the rumor mill abuzz is Matt Leinart.

Coach Pete Carroll isn’t keeping the Seahawks’ draft strategy cloaked in mystery.

The Buccaneers are reportedly the front runners to be the subject of this year’s “Hard Knocks” on HBO. Not a terrible choice. But we think we can do better.

Seahawks DE and former Colt Raheem Brock can’t escape the memory of last year’s Super Bowl loss to New Orleans, proclaiming, “The Saints took my Super Bowl ring.”

This is the first time in the Super Bowl era that both defending conference champions lost in the opening round of the playoffs. This is the ninth time in the Super Bowl era that both defending conference champions failed to reach the second round of the playoffs (either failed to reach playoffs or lost in opening round).

Jim Harbaugh has a new job, and once again, he is chasing Pete Carroll. The two established a bitter rivalry in the Pac-10, coaching Stanford and USC respectively, and now they will tangle as the coaches of the 49ers and Seahawks.

You cannot blame Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh for considering a leap to the NFL. The allure of an NFL coaching gig can be very strong.

But sometimes the grass is not always greener, Jim. This is the kind of thinking that compelled McLean Stevenson to leave “M*A*S*H” to star in his own sitcom, “Hello, Larry”. Sometimes the best job is the one you don’t leave.

For the second straight week, we have a Charlie Whitehurst sighting. This time around, though, it’s because starting QB Matt Hasselbeck left Sunday’s game during the first quarter with a hip injury.

Aaron Rodgers, Gerald McCoy and Chris Ivory are among the players on the Week 14 injury list.

Vince Young, Colt McCoy and Vernon Davis were among the players who suffered injuries in Week 11. Here’s a bullet-look at injuries around the league.

The backfield situation in Seattle has been about as appetizing for fantasy enthusiasts as the free sushi they were giving away at the gas station a few weeks back.

All the signs out of Seattle continue to point toward a major role for Marshawn Lynch when the Seahawks return from their bye week against the Bears.

The Seahawks landed the big back they’ve coveted, and NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger sees Marshawn Lynch as a difference-maker in the NFC West.

The deal that sent Marshawn Lynch to the Seahawks is great for the fantasy value of several running backs.

It was a rough day on the injury front for the Eagles, who lost Michael Vick, Asante Samuel and WR Riley Cooper.
