CBSSports.com narrows in on the recent rumors and gossip surrounding players, coaches and teams.
| Team by Team |
| According to the St. Petersburg Times, the Cowboys may be willing to part with receiver Terry Glenn. The Cowboys have offered Glenn a $500,000 injury waiver if he re-injures his knee and is lost for the season. If healthy, Glenn could be an option for the Buccaneers. It would enable Tampa Bay to unload Chris Simms via trade, much the way they were able to swap Keyshawn Johnson for Joey Galloway. |
| The Packers could have Brett Favre on their 2008 roster, or could trade him. But, according to the Wisconsin State Journal, general manager Ted Thompson stated that Aaron Rodgers is the team's starter. When asked who gives the Packers a better chance to win in 2008, Thompson replied that it would be Rodgers, because he is on the active roster. |
| Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver said that his team is not leaving Jacksonville, but he didn't rule out the possibility of selling the club in the future, according to the Florida Times-Union. The club has been in contact with billionaire C. Dean Metropoulos and other potential investors, but Weaver isn't close to an agreement with any of the parties. |
| According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the chances of the Vikings getting a new stadium would improve greatly if a trade could be made for Brett Favre, who is asking for his release. The Packers made it clear that Aaron Rodgers was their No. 1 quarterback after Rodgers took part in all of the Packers' minicamps and spent all year in Green Bay getting ready. |
| New Jersey billionaire C. Dean Metropoulos has been in contact with Jaguars ownership, but according to the LA Times, thought the $750 million asking price is too high. He is also on a short list of potential candidates to buy the St. Louis Rams. |
| According to the Tampa Tribune, Chris Simms is an unhappy quarterback who wants out, but the Buccaneers will not let him go. Dallas, Chicago and Detroit could be interested in Simms, but possibly only as a backup. Tampa Bay is hoping to trade Simms for a conditional draft pick based on his playing time. The team would take a seventh-round draft pick that could increase to a fifth- or fourth-rounder based on Simms' performance this season. |
