I'm loving the defensive signings of Freeney and Keiser, but we still need a left tackle. Who, on our team now, could be traded to get one.

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Bruce Irvin was suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season on Friday after the league announced he violated the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Irvin will be eligible to participate in all offseason activities and preseason practices and games, but will be suspended without pay for the opening four games at Carolina, home for San Francisco and Jacksonville and at Houston. Irvin will be eligible to return to Seattle's active roster on Sept.30 following the Seahawks' Week 4 game against the Texans, but only after losing a quarter of his salary for the season.

At first, we thought it might have been some sort of mistake. The transaction page isn't in the habit of breaking news, but it turned out to be right on.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports that Manning made a minor alteration in his contract that was indeed submitted to the league. There was no pay cut or extension, but it was procedural. Manning and the Broncos altered language that involves his insurance. Rapoport notes it was the team protecting itself in case of injury, and Manning signed off on the change.

Any time a contract is altered in any way, it must be submitted to the league. It will have no effect on salary cap or any of the important aspects of his deal that runs through 2016.


Why would the Donks be worried about injury? According to the Donks fans, Manning will go untouched by a defense in 2013. ]]> Around the NFL chargertom http://forums.chargers.com/showthread.php?t=98314 Chargers sign Thomas Keiser http://forums.chargers.com/showthread.php?t=98312&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 22:22:32 GMT Per Twitter, and NFL.com. https://mobile.twitter.com/Rotoinfo_NFL/status/335155661484740608 Per Twitter, and NFL.com.

Since they picked up Matt Cassel, the Vikings have moved Joe Webb over to a full time WR spot.

While Christian Ponder may be the incumbent, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback who actually started a playoff game after the 2012 season is no longer in the picture at the position.

According to The Associated Press, the Vikings are planning to convert former backup QB Joe Webb into a full-time receiver for the team. Webb completed 11 of 30 passes for 180 yards in that 24-10 wild-card loss to the Green Bay Packers, but it's Webb's skills as a wideout at Alabama-Birmingham that Minnesota is looking at.

During his time in college, Webb served as a QB-WR hybrid, with the Vikings selecting him in the 6th round of the 2010 NFL draft largely because of his athleticism — many believed Webb was actually being drafted as a receiver. However, Minnesota signed Matt Cassel to be Ponder's backup this offseason, leaving Webb without a role.

Webb was informed of the team's decision after the Vikings took Tennessee receiver Cordarrelle Patterson in last month's draft.

The Jets’ quarterback situation just got a little clearer. David Garrard, who was brought in to compete for the Jets’ starting quarterback job, has told teammates that he’s leaving the team.

“Having to call it quits. My knee is not holding up,” David Garrard wrote in a text to Adam Schein of SiriusXM NFL radio (via Pro Football Talk).

“Continuing to swell after practices. Limiting what I can do.”

This is clearly a bummer for Garrard, whose comeback attempt with the Dolphins last season was thwarted by arthroscopic surgery during training camp, causing him to miss the entire preseason. He was released by the team on Sept. 4. If this is the end for Garrard, he leaves the game with 89 career touchdown passes and 16,003 passing yards. He was a Pro Bowler in 2009.

The Jets still have four QBs on the roster: Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith, Greg McElroy and Matt Simms. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said he wanted to see a quick end to the competition. Thanks to Garrard’s departure, that just got easier.

Sanchez is probably secretly breathing a tad easier as well, as Garrard was his main competition to either start or be the main backup behind the rookie Smith. ]]> Quarterback Talk chargertom http://forums.chargers.com/showthread.php?t=98306 Rotoworld Ranks NFL O-lines http://forums.chargers.com/showthread.php?t=98305&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 22:19:49 GMT http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/43265/179/2013-offensive-line-rankings?pg=1 http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nf...-rankings?pg=1 ]]> Around the NFL Clint Beastwood http://forums.chargers.com/showthread.php?t=98305 Rolando McClain retires at the age of 23. http://forums.chargers.com/showthread.php?t=98303&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 19:44:00 GMT http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...ires-at-age-23
