Favre, Price and Hakim

Favre Trade Rumors Emerge
As reported on rotoworld.com there are Favre trade rumors surfacing. Even Madden thinks something is going to happen.

My question is where? What team needs a QB that is also in contention to make a run at the playoffs? Not that Green Bay holds that title but I find it odd that Favre would be traded instead of just retiring. My opinion - Give it up gunslinger.

Peerless gets the Price
According to profootballtalk.com Peerless Price has signed with the Bills. Rumors last week said the Patriots were interested but it looks like the Bills were willing to pay the cash. Maybe Peerless should use some of that money to buy some hands that can catch a football.

Az-Zahir Hakim in a Cardinals Uniform
This is really only news for you Fantasy guys but Rotoworld has a story from Adam Shefter (NFL Network) that states Hakim is expected to sign with the Cardinals. The Cards already have two of the best wide receivers but adding Hakim really helps their aerial assault.

Ricky Williams and the future of his NFL career

Today, Ricky Williams is attending an appeal case for the drug test failure back in December. Reports, at first, said that this was after the season and while he was in India. But it's now clear he tested positive for an illegal substance during the season.

The argument is that he took the substance unknowingly. Everyone in prison is innocent right? At any rate, I'm a little disappointed with Ricky Williams. I surely thought during his time off that he "found himself" and would be spiritually bonded to football. He has so much talent and I was looking forward to seeing him run up the field.

Hopefully we'll find out the ruling soon but in my opinion his NFL career is over.
