Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams, who had 19 receptions in 10 games, isn't sure people question his legitimacy as a number-one receiver: "I don't know why," Williams said. "I guess I've got to go out there and prove to people that I can play this game. Just because I have a star on the side of my helmet doesn't mean I can't play football now."
Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ocho Cinco will have "Ochocinco" as a one word printed on the back of his jersey since that's what he wrote when he submitted his name change last August.
Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Tom Moore, QB Peyton Manning's only offensive coordinator in Indy, and line coach Howard Mudd have filed their retirement papers, according to Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star.
Detroit Lions LB Jordan Dizon is looking forward to his sophomore season with the Lions: "As a rookie you come in lost," he said. "People would say do this and do that. The next thing you know you are spinning around in circles, and it is kind of tough." You could argue that all of the Lions, rookies and veterans, "came in lost" last season, when the Lions finished 0-16.
Although Drew Rosenhaus says he's not seeking $10 million per season for his client, Anquan Boldin, Rosenhaus says: "I think we can be reasonable as long as Anquan is among the top-paid receivers. We just want a contract commensurate with his performance. You find me another guy with three Pro Bowls, the same number of yards, receptions, touchdowns and toughness."
The Jacksonville Jaguars released DB Chad Nkang and rookie RB Mike McLendon Thursday.
Lions CB Keith Smith credited former coach Rod Marinelli for making him "tougher."
Paralyzed Dallas Cowboys scouting assistant Rich Behm will continue to work for the Cowboys. "His attitude is great and he's looking forward to coming back to work for us. And we're looking forward to that, too," Phillips said Thursday night.
The Philadelphia Eagles have met with disgruntled cornerback Sheldon Brown.
