On Total Access ... Our own @HeathEvans said he got a text from Moss earlier, with Moss saying he could run a 4.35-4.38 40 right now.

I wouldn't believe this about most NFL players at 35 years old, but I don't doubt Moss at all. Not sayin, but just sayin.

ESPN just posted their estimate of the Chiefs salary cap...... It's a whopping 62.9 million dollars under......

How come we haven't signed Carr & Bowe with those kind of numbers? The Chiefs have got to have known that they were going to be 63 mils under the cap. Why didn't they work something out during the season last year with these 2? Instead, they'll more than likely be pulled into a bidding war now. What's going on?

The numbers are in.

One of the new parts of the NFL collective bargaining agreement is the ability of teams to roll over remaining cap room into the next season. The 2011 season finished with $320 million of remaining cap room. Thirty teams carried over $301.78 million of unused cap money to give the 32 teams approximately $711 million of combined room as they start to prepare for the 2012 season.

Among other things, Starkey points out that Haley didn’t seek out Ben Roethlisberger once Haley arrived at team headquarters, which seems to be yet another Haley homage to one of his mentors, Bill Parcells.

Does this remind anyone of Brian Waters?

Wallace Gilberry on Twitter: "Down 5lbs 5 more to go and it's on!!!!!"

Hmm guess he realized he's a better pass rusher without the extra weight.

WHEN GUESSING WHERE MANNING WILL GO..... You have to consider how much time he has left to play...he has, at a maximum, 4 years to play. So, he is going to want to maximize his chances of getting to the playoffs. By going to a tough division like the AFC East or the NFC East, he reduces his chances greatly of even making the playoffs..we have seen in recent history teams getting hot at the right time and moving through the playoffs and on to win the SuperBowl...but you have to MAKE the playoffs...you can have a great season and still finish second in your division and miss out on the Wild Card to another team.. New England went 11-5 a few years ago with Cassel and missed the playoffs....in short, I dont see him going to Miami or Washington...its not about money to him, its about winning SuperBowls....he is not afraid to compete with those guys, but the smart move is to increase his trips to the playoffs by going toa weak division...like the AFC West

Defensive player of the year: Kansas City linebacker Derrick Johnson

He is one of the more underrated players in the NFL. He is a tackling machine and a timely playmaker. Johnson was brilliant in 2011 as he had a career-high 131 tackles. Along with fellow Pro Bowl linebacker Tamba Hali, Johnson is the centerpiece to a potentially standout defense.

That's according to Liz Mullen of the Sports Business Journal, who reports that the arthroscopic surgery was successful and that the recovery time for Gronkowski is "expected to be 10 weeks."

Gronk suffered the injury when he was tackled by "Pats Killer" and Ravens safety Bernard Pollard in the AFC title game. Gronk's ankle was the focus of pre-Super Bowl media coverage to an annoying extent and the tight end managed to play, but was essentially a decoy, catching just two passes for 26 yards.

"I've gotten a lot of calls and texts and emails from people around the league, both good and bad about him," Roethlisberger said in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Everybody has an opinion, as we all know, and they're letting me know what their interaction with him was -- good, bad and indifferent. I've heard a lot of things and I'm looking forward to meeting him and forming my own opinion."
