No News Is…No News

I’d like to be able to report here today that there is major news regarding the Carolina Panthers.  I’d like to be able to tell you that they have signed the biggest, baddest and even youngest players out there.  But I can’t.

There are even times that no news is good news but in this case it’s just…no news.

There is, however, news regarding a former Panther, Drew Carter.  The wide receiver is meeting with the Raiders today.  He’s a fast wideout and we all know how much Al Davis loves a fast player.

Our team isn’t exactly setting the world ablaze with news but the rest of the NFL is hard at work keeping sports writers busy.  Here are today’s Quick Hits From Around the NFL…

Adam Schefter of the NFL Network is speculating that the Packers might pursue Randy Moss in order to keep Brett Favre from cashing in his chips.  I’m beginning to wonder if they just love Favre so much that they’re willing to suck up like this every single offseason or if they dislike Aaron Rogers that much.

Glenn Dorsey’s draft stock could fall even farther since team doctors are saying that he’s had several injuries that they are concerned about.  From the article – “The tibia fracture is believed to have lingered with him into last seasons. NFL teams are also looking at his back, right leg, knee, and ankle. It seems very possible that Dorsey will fall out of the top five picks in April.”  (Houston Chronicle)

ESPN reports that the Dolphins are disputing a story that ran yesterday suggesting that the Dolphins would part ways with defensive end Jason Taylor.  “This latest report is just another example of journalistic irresponsibility,” Bill Parcells, team VP of Football Operations, told Chris Mortensen.
