Let’s be honest. Nobody really cares about football too much in May. But here are some recent headlines to get you caught up. And no, this article will not contain any Brett Favre “news”.
It looks like Brian Westbrook is close to becoming a Denver Bronco. He recently worked out the Redskins, but with Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson, and Willie Parker under contract, Washington hardly has room for Westbrook’s services. According to various sources, it looks like Westbrook will be headed to Denver, where Tim Tebow can pitch the ball to him. Westbrook would join former teammates Correll Buckhalter and Brian Dawkins. Although he has had a great career, Westbrook’s best days are clearly behind him. Between injuries and competing for the toughest position in football, Westbrook could be looking for a completely new line of work in a few years.
In Westbrook’s old division, New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss will have surgery on his ankle. He is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, but should be back in time for the beginning of training camp. After getting knocked around a lot this past season, Boss could use the time off.
Sticking to the NFC East, Patrick Crayton skipped the OTA’s for the second straight weeks. The disgruntled Dallas Cowboys wide receiver has made it known for the past few weeks that he wants to be traded. With the team already having Miles Austin, Roy Williams, and Dez Bryant on the roster, Crayton will be the #4 receiver at best. For a player who has never been able to back up his trash talking, it is not surprising that no teams are showing serious interest at this time.
