#Broncos & CB Chris Harris agreed on a 5-year, $42.5M extension with $24M in guarantees, source said (confirming @MikeKlis report). Huge.

Harris has done well, especially for a free agent.

Ras-I Dowling added to Raiders’ 53-player roster

Ras-I Dowling, a safety known primarily as one of Bill Belichick’s bigger draft disappointments in New England, has managed to return to an active NFL roster.

The Raiders announced that Dowling has been elevated from their practice squad to their 53-player roster.

Dowling has spent the whole season on the Raiders’ practice squad. Belichick took him with the first pick in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft, but he lasted just two years in New England and has played only nine games in his NFL career.

The Raiders also brought up linebacker Bojay Filimoeatu from the practice squad to the active roster and placed safety Larry Asante on injured reserve.

Dalton abusing Haden first drive, 3 catches for Green already and 4 throws at him. The one incompletion should have been pass interference in the end zone but no call.

Wow, RG3 re-inserted in line-up and he's 7/11 and leading his team to the lead over the g-men on the road.

Manziel scrambles and flings pass to end zone picked off by Adam Jones. Manziel: three 3-and-outs and two INTs on 5 drives. Down 20-0.


Funny, Sirius thought he wouldn't be awful this week...wonder what two QBs coming out in the draft are coming from a similar college system...

Big changes coming in Oakland, and Reggie McKenzie may be gone too. It could pave the way for Harbaugh.

As much as I want him here that is a better fit for his family and he just seems like a born Raider type to me

Bills the first team in NFL history to face QBs in back-to-back weeks with 30 TD passes and not give up a passing TD (Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers).

In case you didn't know Philbin was in trouble...or the Phins are in trouble...

Ross met with Dan Marino, Mike Tannenbaum after loss

If getting blown out by the Patriots yesterday was the last act of the Joe Philbin era in Miami, it’s interesting to note who is helping owner Stephen Ross consider his plans for the future

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Ross was seen after the game having conversations with Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino and former Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum.

According to the report, both Marino and Tannenbaum were seen near Ross’s helicopter after the game, and Tannenbaum flew back to New York on it with Ross. Marino flew back with the team on its charter flight.

Marino has said he wasn’t there to evaluate Philbin, but Ross probably wouldn’t have him hanging around to pick out carpet. He’s been around the team, attending practices and meetings, so he should have a decent gauge on the team’s pulse.

Tannenbaum’s inclusion is interesting, as he’s also hired as a “consultant” for the team.

Of course, he also works as an agent for Priority Sports, representing coaches and broadcasters. His contacts in the industry should give him a decent sense of who is available or interested if the Dolphins happened to make staff changes.

He represents at least three coaches who have been involved in recent searches elsewhere: Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson.

At the moment, we’re not even sure there’s going to be an opening. But if there is, and those names pop up on the radar.

Whether any of those coaches get an interview — or if Tannenbaum dips into his Jets past to lure a certain big fish who is about to be available to Miami — it bears watching the men who have Ross’s ear.

So should we get used to seeing Rex in aqua?

Better than Harbough.

It also means you may see Cromartie and Revis in aqua next year as free agent CBs with Mike T and Rex at the helm...

Belichick......... was that you?

+1 Great news, let Rex & his idiot Lawyer Tannenbaum destroy the Flippers like they did the Jets.

Looks like Matthew Mulligan TE has found another home in Jacksonville. I feel sorry for his wife or family if they have to follow him around from team to team.

Go Jets...Cyborg

Broncos are promoting former NYJ S Josh Bush to the active roster. This comes after they put S Quinton Carter on IR last week.

The draft is in Chicago this year right ? NYC had the draft locked down until the Rockettes became a higher priority, so the NFL started to look around for other alternatives and Chicago, L.A. & Dallas all came knocking. What ashame to lose the draft. Even anyone has not attended an NFL draft, please add it to your bucket list, because it is a great event.

Once more on Cutler: NYJ fans would be naming son after him in August, burning his jersey in October, flying "CUT CUTLER" planes in December
