The risk-reward acquisitions of Chad Ochocinco and Albert Haynesworth signal that Bill Belichick and the Patriots are ready to make a run at a championship.

The Eagles announced Tuesday that they have signed veteran defensive end Derrick Burgess, originally drafted by Philadelphia in 2001.

While it's not clear when holdout Darrelle Revis will join his teammates, the Jets still have the talent to succeed without the game's top cornerback.

With the draft closing in, the free-agent market has been quiet. However, for teams unable to address all of their needs in the draft, there are still options on the open market worth a look.

With proven runners such as Thomas Jones and LaDainian Tomlinson still available, running back remains among the strongest positions in free agency.

Does your favorite team need help? Are you hoping that free agency will be the key this coming offseason? The lack of stars at the money positions could leave you feeling empty.

As Michael Fabiano writes, there are several reasons to believe that Frank Gore is primed for a big season in 2009. Of course, the same can't be said of rookie Michael Crabtree.

The Patriots won 11 games last season but missed the playoffs. Now with a healthy Tom Brady back at quarterback, they appear ready to make another Super Bowl run.
