March 24th, 2010 Nathan Nau 
The Saints have chosen not to match the one-year, $1.7 million offer sheet that RB Mike Bell signed with the Eagles, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. It’s believed that the Saints never seriously considered matching the offer once the Eagles guaranteed Bell $500,000 and a no-trade clause.

The Cards will find plenty of suitors if Lombardi’s report is true.

Vick will be an Eagle Longer than Originally Thought
February 18th, 2010 Nathan Nau NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports that the Eagles may hold off until the preseason to trade Michael Vick. While this theoretically makes sense because teams would get more time to evaluate Vick after watching him in exhibition games, it would also cost the Philadelphia Eagles. Vick is due a $1.5M roster bonus on March [...]
