The Off-Season Action Continues

The NFL Free Agency action continued as 35 year old talented veteran WR Terrell Owens was released by the Cowboys early Thursday morning, and other veteran guys like Laveranues Coles, LaMont Jordan and Torry Holt are also in the headlines. Read more

Chad Reports, LaMont Lands In New England…

It’s that time of year again folks - not quite the most exciting time of year, but close! Training camp is here, and the regular season is about one month away. What does this mean? Fantasy football player values are constantly fluctuating as positions are fought for, contract disputes work themselves out, injuries occur and the last few transactions are made. That’s why it’s extremely important to follow our weekly stock market report very closely, as well as go back and read our previous posts. Read more

LaMont Joins Laurence In New England

In 2005, LaMont Jordan rushed for 1,025 yards, nine TDs, and caught 70 balls for 563 yards and two additional scores as the featured running back for the Oakland Raiders. That same season, Randy Moss hauled in 60 passes for 1,005 yards and eight TDs as Jordan’s teammate in Oakland. Now, the two have re-joined as teammates in New England. The Patriots’ experience has obviously kept Moss’ career going strong - but will it do the same for Jordan? Read more

OAK: Jordan told to stay home

LaMont Jordan (RB) 7/24: LaMont Jordan was told to avoid reporting to Raiders camp, according to the Associated Press. However, the team has no authority to request such a move as they must let Jordan participate, cut him or trade him. Jordan later said he'd ignore this request and show up at camp.

SJax, Harrison & McNabb Are Healthy…

We’ve always been pretty progressive here at No-Offseason.com, encouraging our readers to look to the future and find the next rising stars. However, this week’s stock market report starts off by acknowledging to former fantasy football superstars that have a great chance at coming back and lighting up the stat column. Why? Because the only thing that was standing in their way - health issues - appear to be less of a concern heading into 2008. Read more

LaMont In Limbo

It’s been one heck of an off-season for Raiders RB LaMont Jordan. Not only has his own team told him that he’s not welcome at practice or in their facility, but they also refuse to release him. Now, our sources are telling us just how hard it will be for Jordan to find a new home when the Raiders finally do set him free. Read more

Michael Bush Looks Great In Practice…

We’re hearing that Raiders RB Michael Bush has looked very solid in recent practices. While it’s tough to judge the true potential of running backs when nobody is wearing pads, Bush has impressed the coaching staff with his pass catching ability and speed.

There’s still hope for him to carve out a role in Oakland’s backfield with Darren McFadden. Justin Fargas’ future appears to be shaky, and LaMont Jordan will be out the door soon enough.

LaMont Jordan In Limbo…

The Raiders wouldn’t let LaMont Jordan practice with the team today, a clear cut sign that the back will be dealt or released soon.

With Al Davis being paranoid about Denver swooping in to sign Jordan, he’s more likely to be traded then released. However, no team has really expressed interest in giving up anything of value for Jordan - thus the limbo in which he currently sits.

One possibility for him is to be traded to San Diego for a 2009 late round draft pick. Norv Turner was his offensive coordinator in Oakland in 2005 during his one and only solid fantasy season, and Ladainian Tomlinson doesn’t have a clear cut back-up heading into the season - sorry Jacob Hester and Darren Sproles.

LaMont Jordan To Stay In Oakland…

For now, at least, Raiders owner Al Davis will not release LaMont Jordan. Why? Now that Travis Henry is out of a job in Denver, he’s a bit afraid that if he let Jordan go that Denver would swoop him up.

We don’t think Jordan would be a good fit for the Broncos anyway, but it appears he’ll remain with the Raiders for the time being. Unless he is released, Jordan won’t have any fantasy value as Oakland’s fourth string RB.

Raiders To Trade LaMont Jordan…

This explains why Dominic Rhodes was released, and LaMont Jordan still remains on the roster. The Oakland Raiders believe that Jordan has trade value to many other NFL teams, including Detroit, Houston, Tampa Bay and the New York Jets (where Jordan used to play).

Expect Jordan to be traded by July.

Houston Texans Interested In Rhodes?

The Raiders released Dominic Rhodes after drafting Darren McFadden with the fourth overall pick in the draft, and we’re hearing now that the Houston Texans, who took scat back Steve Slaton in round three, are seriously interested in bringing in Rhodes and having him compete for their starting gig with Ahman Green and Chris Brown.

The Colts and Lions may also be interested in Rhodes’ services.

LaMont Jordan may also be released later in the spring or early summer.

The Dolphins Love John Beck

Our sources tell us that the Dolphins are extremely high on second year QB - former 40th overall pick in the NFL Draft - John Beck. With Jake Long now slotted to play left tackle and protect his blind side, Tony Sparano and Bill Parcells reportedly expect big things from the former BYU star. New OC Dan Henning’s offense is pretty darn conservative, but fantasy owners can look for Philip Rivers circa 2006 digits out of Beck if all goes well. Yes folks, this means John Beck could actually be a worthy fantasy back-up QB in deep leagues next year. Read more
