With the acquisitions of receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, and a creative new role for returning veteran Devin Hester, the Chicago Bears are trying to adopt a new personality on offense that will be "explosive," offensive coordinator Mike Tice told Sports TV Chicago on Friday.
"We want to play fast," Tice told reporters at the team's rookie minicamp at Halas Hall. "We do not want to be out on the field and have the kids thinking too much. ... We have to put them in a position to show us and show the fans, and show the people that love the Bears, their athleticism and explosiveness. We want to be explosive.”
According to Sports TV Chicago, second-round draft choice Alshon Jeffery will wear Chicago Bears Nike Jerseys and play the "Z" receiver spot in the slot, while Marshall, who was picked up in a trade from the Miami Dolphins, and Hester will wear Chicago Bears Nike Jerseys and play on the outside. Hester is also expected to be deployed creatively in a variety of places, and play a larger role in the offense.
Comments by Bears general manager Phil Emery had recently led NFL Network's Gregg Rosenthal to speculate that Hester's days as an every-down receiver might be over. Tice countered that notion.
"Devin is going to be on the field," Tice told the Chicago Newspaper on Friday. "If he is not on the field, then they should fire me."
An NFL source told Sports TV Chicago that the Bears' will run a passing offense that is very similar to that run by the Denver Broncos in 2008, when Marshall, current Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and current quarterbacks coach Jeremy Bates were with the Broncos. The source also told Sports TV Chicago that Cutler "really likes Hester in the new system."

Part of B.J. Coleman’s preparation for the NFL draft included workouts in Hattiesburg, Miss., where a certain former Green Bay Packers quarterback happens to reside. Sure enough, Brett Favre would come by once or twice a week during the two months Coleman spent in Mississippi this winter. Little did Favre know it at the time, but he was helping Coleman impress the very team that spurned the three-time NFL MVP nearly four years ago. The Packers drafted Coleman in Saturday’s seventh round with the 243rd overall pick, the team’s final selection in the three-day draft. The connection between the 21-year-old Coleman and Favre was Bus Cook, Favre’s long-time friend and agent, who also represents Coleman.“What a great experience,” Coleman said of working with Favre. Coleman spent most of January and February in Hattiesburg, training at an area high school. Favre would come by a couple of times week, and Coleman estimated that they had eight or 10 sessions together.“Every second I was with him, you can learn something new,” Coleman wore B.J. Coleman Packers Jersey Nike and said. “From just the mental aspect of the game to picking up different coverages and maybe the subtle things like how a corner is turned, whether a safety is down or up, and then there is the physical stuff of playing quarterback as most everyone knows is with your feet. You have got to be quick in your drops, and you have got to be able to give a play a second chance. It is just endless.” “He is one of the best. He will go down as one of the greatest, and to have an opportunity to speak with him and work with him was excellent.” You can log on our Online NFL Shop and select our best quality 49ers Nike Jerseys Nike and 49ers Nike Jerseys if you are die-hard fans of B.J.

On Wednesday afternoon, Mary Kay Cabot of Sports TV reported that the Cleveland Browns and seventh-round draft pick Brad Smelley have come to terms on an entry-level contract, citing a report found on Sports TV. According to the report, the deal is worth $2.14 million over four-years and includes a signing bonus of $45,890. Smelley was a senior at Alabama last season and started in 10 of the team's 13 games. His most notable performance came in the 2012 BCS National Championship Game against Louisiana State University when he recorded a team-high seven catches in Alabama's 21-0 win. The Browns drafted Smelley with the 247 overall pick in the seventh-round and hope to utilize his large 6-foot-2, 230 pound body at tight end or fullback.

Though his presence at the Giants offseason workout program is uplifting for him and his teammates, Chad Jones is not close to wearing Chad Jones Giants Jersey Nike and making his NFL debut, and he will not wear Chad Jones Giants Jersey Nike and participate in the three-day rookie mini-camp that begins Friday. Jones, the Giants’ third-round draft pick in 2010, is attempting to resume a football career that was thrown off course in June of 2010 when a horrific car accident nearly cost him his life and his left leg. A long an arduous rehabilitation program has brought about remarkable progress but a few weeks ago Giants officials warned that Jones still has “a long way to go’’ and cautioned that he wears Chad Jones Giants Jersey Nike and remains in the rehab portion of his recovery. Chad Jones, a safety from LSU, has not been cleared to wear Chad Jones Giants Jersey Nike and participate in this week’s rookie camp. He most likely will not be cleared to partake in the veteran camp June 12-14. The Giants are hopeful Jones one day can play for them but at this point they are not planning on him for the upcoming season.

Football will be upon us before you know it. It seems like the season just ended, especially for Patriots fans who are still distraught over the team's Super Bowl loss to the Giants, but with the NFL draft complete, we are inching closer and closer to the start of training camp. A lot can still happen between now and then, though, meaning there is plenty of questions still lingering, both from a Patriots standpoint and in terms of the rest of the NFL. Players are still arriving to New England, with the Patriots signing wide receiver Jabar Gaffney and reportedly agreeing to terms with Joseph Addai, while others see Matt Light are exiting. Joseph Addai will wear Joseph Addai Patriots Jersey Nike and play for New England Patriots in 2012.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was among the 200 surfers in the water south of the pier in Oceanside, Calif., where about 1,200 well-wishers gathered near the beachfront home of Junior Seau to honor the former San Diego Chargers linebacker, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Wednesday. "Junior always cared so much about his teammates," Drew Brees told NFL Network. "He always wanted to know how you were doing, how he could help you. That is what I will remember most about Junior -- just the smile on his face, his attitude and his infectious personality." Drew Brees, who played with Seau for two seasons in San Diego, wore a wet suit and rode an orange-and-red surfboard. He and others, including former Seau teammates John Carney and Darren Bennett, paddled into the ocean and formed a giant circle in what is called a paddle-out. The surfers periodically chanted the linebacker's name and slapped their hands against the water for an hour. "We were in the water where I know Junior loved to be," Brees also told Sports TV. "It was a beautiful day because Junior is present here with us."

Kansas City Chiefs have made news on a Saturday afternoon as Tyson Jackson, the No. 3 overall pick from the 2009 draft, has worn Tyson Jackson Jersey Nike and agreed to restructure the end of his rookie deal according to Sports TV. Tyson Jackson joins fellow top 6 picks in the 2009 draft, Matthew Stafford, Jason Smith, Aaron Curry, Mark Sanchez and Andre Smith as players who have all restructured their original deals since coming into the league. The biggest news from this deal is that the 2014 season has been deleted off the contract. The $2.5 million option bonus from that year has been added to 2012. In terms of the salary cap, the 2014 season of Jackson's contract has been deleted, accelerating the $2.5 million in option bonus from that season onto this year's cap. Despite that, Jackson's cap number has been reduced from $10.755 million to $9.5 million, a savings of $1.255 million for the 2012 season. Jackson has a salary of over $14 million due in 2013, with a little over $3 million guaranteed. It is fair to say that the Chiefs will look at restructuring that deal in the form of an extension sometime before the 2013 season starts, or they will be able to walk away with minimal consequence financially. With Glenn Dorsey becoming a free agent after this season the Chiefs will need to figure out their long-term plans within the next year at two of the most important spots on the Chiefs defense, defensive end.

After spending seven games on the 53-man roster in 2010 and five this past season as the No. 3 quarterback, Graham Harrell is now one step closer to starting in the NFL. Green Bay Packers will keep Harrell as the No. 2 quarterback after a brief flirtation to trade for Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy to Green Bay. The Browns drafted Oklahoma State star Brandon Weedon with the 22nd pick in the first round. Harrell, a Texas Tech star from 2005-2008, is the solid choice to back up Aaron Rodgers. Harrell has worn Graham Harrell Jersey Nike and spent two seasons learning the spread offense of Green Bay and for all knocks that Texas Tech quarterbacks have received for being a “product of the system”, the NFL is becoming more of a spread league. Harrell and company at Texas Tech have perfected this style of offense for the past 12 seasons, so why not give the reins to a guy who wore Giants Nike Jerseys Nike and threw for 15,000 yards in the Big 12 and have a starting record of 28-11 in three seasons? If Harrell wears Graham Harrell Jersey Nike and gets some mop up time this season or has to come in for an injured Aaron Rodgers, and nobody wants that except Ndamukong Suh, then the Packers will be in good hands. Plus, throwing to Donald Driver will benefit any quarterback. You can log on our Online NFL Shop and select our best quality Giants Nike Jerseys Nike if you are die-hard fasn of Graham Harrell.

With Asante Samuel out of the mix, the Eagles plan to shadow opposing No. 1 wide receivers with Nnamdi Asomugha. Asante Samuel strictly played "off" coverage on the left side, which limited the Eagles from moving Asomugha around. Going forward, they will play more press coverage. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie moves into the starting lineup and Joselio Hanson currently sits as the No. 3/slot corner. Expect the Eagles to add another corner via this weekend's draft.

St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson is unhappy with his current contract and would like to re-negotiate it, a league source said Monday. Jackson signed a six-year deal in 2008 that was set to run through the 2013 season. Given Jackson's dissatisfaction, it would make sense for the Rams to try to select a running back, such as Alabama product Trent Richardson, in the 2012 NFL Draft this week. The Rams currently have the No. 6 overall pick in the draft, but could try to trade with a team to pick higher.

Washington Redskins plan on starting wide receiver Leonard Hankerson opposite of Pierre Garcon. Pierre Garcon will wear Nike Washington Redskins Jerseys and play split end, which would slide Hankerson in at flanker. The 2011 third-round pick would be getting the nod over Josh Morgan, who would be shuffled into a reserve role that could result in some time in the slot. Hankerson, of course, is still recovering from a hip injury, so this is all contingent on him getting back to full health. His upside will make him worth consideration in starting line-up.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald misses the days when he was teamed up with Anquan Boldin and since then has been double teamed as the Cardinals primary threat through the air. So it is not too surprising to hear that Fitzgerald is lobbying for a wide receiver with the Cardinals top pick in the draft this week. Peter King of Sports Magazine spoke with Fitzgerald over the weekend and he indicated he wants the Cardinals to draft Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd with the 13th pick of the NFL draft. Floyd has been rising and some have said he might slip into the top ten which would put him out of the Cardinals reach.
