This Week in the NFL

This has been a slow and uneventful week in the NFL so there is not a lot to discuss, but I was able to gather some topics to speak about.

• Jay Cutler is still a Bronco and HC Josh McDaniels went on record as saying "Jay is our quarterback". It looks like this relationship could be patched up and Cutler could stay put, but let's wait and see if McDaniels is still saying this after the Draft.
• Tony Gonzales still wants to be traded but new GM Scott Pioli is stating otherwise. Pioli said that Gonzalez "has not requested a trade and that he has not fielded any calls requesting Tony in a trade". Tony has been requesting a trade since last season and he is aware that time is running out on him and he probably wants a crack at a title before he hangs em' up.
• Terrel Owens will not show up for voluntary workouts in Buffalo. T.O. said "I never show up for voluntary workouts, I have my own trainer." Well good for you T.O. This guy is a complete tool.
• As the Draft gets closer there is more and more speculation on that top pick for the Lions. I finally decided on Jason Smith with the #1 overall to Detroit in my mock. Mel Kiper states that the "have no choice but to draft Stafford, due to his rare arm strength". Last I looked the Lions were picking #1 so don't they have like 900 choices on who to take. And by the way Mel, you also said that Mike Williams was the best player coming out of the draft a couple years ago and we see how he turned out. With all due respect, I am going to go ahead and find a different source to tell me who should be taken and who shouldn't.
• There are still quite a few veteran free agents on the market that are looking for work. The NFL has decided to go younger and players like Orlando Pace are still available.
• The 2009 Annual Owners Meeting are going on as we speak and they have decided to change the format of the draft order based on how far a playoff team goes in the playoffs. Currently the 2 Super Bowl teams pick 31&32 and then the rest of the teams are based on record. Also NFL Commissioner is becoming very adamant about extending the regular season to 17 or 18 games. Hey Roger, you've got my vote.

This was the NFL Opinions Now week in review.
