News of value around the league for Thursday 5-14

Arizona- Reid says Zona wanted a 1,3,and 5 for Boldin. Too much coupled with the salary he will demand.

Atlanta- Tony Gonzalez seems to have found the fountain of youth since joining the falcons, grabbing every throw his way and using his body with reckless abandon. We'll see if that's the case come week 7 but you gotta love the guy.

Baltimore- Receiver Kelley Washington signed with Baltimore.

Buffalo- The T.O. show is in town ready to record his each and every sit up, tear, and dropped pass. Does anyone actually care? Somebody explain to him what over exposure means.

Carolina- Other than Peppers not showing no news.

Chicago- SI reported Bears are 4th in power rankings and everyone is goo-goo over Cutler. Just one problem...he still has nobody to throw to! It's like taking Viagra and staying home alone.

Cincinnati- See previous post.

Denver- Shannon Sharpe inducted to Broncos "Ring of Fame".

Detroit- The Detroit Free Press is calling the Lions the new "America's Team". Fitting since we're in a recession.

Miami- Boldin says he "would love to play in Miami". At this point Boldin is the girl who pulls you to the dance floor, lets you buy her a couple drinks and then tells you she's married.

Minnesota- Favre, Favre, Favre. Of all the rumors, you know this has the best chance of happening. So what if he has a bicep tear. The look on Packer fan when he shows up in Green Bay alone would be priceless.

NY Giants- Hakeem Nicks may be the best rookie to come out of the draft. An immediate role as a starter, loved by coaches, and the physical tools to succeed make him a scary proposition.

NY Jets- Leon Washington's agent posted on Twitter that talks with the Jets are on a better track towards resolution.

Oakland- Heyward-Bey did not have the camp he wanted and is not impressing coaches. It is quite early to be too critical but you have to feel for the guy. Think there's any pressure on him? Also, rumors are starting to fly that Garcia will be the starter come August and not Russel. Garcia is a competitor and can actually be a savior for this team. Forget Al Davis' passion for the deep ball. A great mid-range passer, Garcia can keep linebackers from stacking the line and allow the Raiders run game some lanes if the O-line shows up.

Seattle- Holmgren tells AM Radio station he is coming back in 2010.

Tampa Bay- Luke McCown believes the starting job is his to lose. Even if he does win the competition, how long until Morris pulls the plug and gives the job to his beloved Freeman. McCown will have to manage the game well and put up W's in order to hold on.
