Seven months after he was arrested for drunk driving, Hines Ward has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge to end the case.

Mathis could be target for Titans
Feb 22nd
We’re still almost three weeks away from free agency, but it’s about time we started hearing rumors about where certain free agents could land. (This is the Rumor Mill, after all.) Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean provides some fodder by listing three players he “heard” could be potential targets for Tennessee: Colts defensive end Robert Mathis,…
It’s an easy year to avoid overpaying running backs
Feb 21st
The best free agent running backs aren’t going anywhere. The rest of the free agent running backs aren’t too inspiring. Perhaps this is the year where NFL teams realize you don’t need to overpay runners in free agency. Ray Rice, Matt Forte, and Marshawn Lynch are all expected to remain with their current teams under…
Seahawks “deep” in contract talks with Lynch, prepared to use tag
Feb 20th
The free agent running back market looks good on paper, but all the best options aren’t going to change teams. Ray Rice and Matt Forte will get the franchise tag if they can’t work out long-term deals. The same appears to be true for Marshawn Lynch in Seattle. Jason La Canfora of NFL Network writes…
Monday morning one-liners
Feb 20th
The Bills scouting department pays a lot of attention to players from small schools. Dolphins offensive coordinator Mike Sherman coached QB Ryan Tannehill at Texas A&M and thinks Tannehill is a winner. The Patriots are lobbying New Hampshire for a license plate with the team’s logo. Jets coach Rex Ryan was inducted into the Southwestern…
Ray Rice wants Adrian Peterson money
Feb 20th
Ravens running back Ray Rice is set to become an unrestricted free agent next month, and given that there’s been no progress on talks for a long-term deal, Baltimore will surely use the franchise tag to keep Rice in place. That may lead to months of negotiations between Rice and the Ravens, and Peter King…
Vikings could be looking for their next Ron Yary
Feb 18th
The Vikings earned the third overall pick in the draft, thanks to a 3-13 record. They could be heading down the same path they did 44 years ago, when another three-win season (3-8-3, to be precise) gave the Vikings the first pick in the 1968 NFL draft. They took left tackle Ron Yary from USC. …
Ex-Raven Jermaine Lewis arrested again
Feb 18th
Jermaine Lewis was a two-time All-Pro return man and a Super Bowl hero for the Ravens, but his post-NFL life has not gone well. The 37-year-old Lewis was arrested Thursday in Baltimore County for driving on a suspended license, his second arrest in the last six months. The police report for the latest arrest paints…
Saturday morning one-liners
Feb 18th
DE Alex Carrington thinks better days are ahead for the Bills defense. Offensive coordinator Mike Sherman thinks the Dolphins have the pieces to be a good offense. No Patriots skill position player played more snaps than TE Rob Gronkowski. Mel Kiper has the Jets taking Georgia G Cordy Glenn in his latest mock draft. Making…
Kamerion Wimbley will be tough call for Raiders
Feb 17th
Raiders linebacker Kamerion Wimbley has been effective for Oakland since the day he arrived from Cleveland. He’s also due $11 million in 2012, a number associated with an elite player. That presents a conundrum for new Raiders G.M. Reggie McKenzie. Does he see Wimbley as an elite player? Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports via a league…
