To See How The Chiefs Handle Jarrad Page

The safety was a liability at times in pass coverage but seemingly worked hard and got along with his teammates. Pollard went on to the Houston Texans, where he put up a solid year, drawing the praise of Houston Texans fans.

Chiefs GM Scott Pioli received some criticism for cutting Pollard, so Chiefs fans are watching anxiously to see how they handle the Jarrad Page situation.

I think the fans' perception of Page is about the same as Andre Johnson-- sure, he's got flaws, but overall he's a good player.

And the Chiefs are not in the market to be giving up good players.

So how will the Chiefs handle the Page trade request?

Chiefs fans are watching with curiosity not only because they might lose a good player such as Page, but also because they want to see if the Chiefs learned from their mistake (or the perception that it was a mistake) of cutting Pollard.

Steve McNair Remembered Once Again

Steve McNair was a famous American football player who was murdered along with his girlfriend

Steve McNair was a famous American football player who played for the wholesaleTampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys. He died on the 4th of July and his death still remains a mystery as no proper investigation went into the matter and the best we have are guesses of what really happened.

Steve McNair was found dead alongside his girlfriend whose name was Saleh Kazemi. Steve McNair was found with four gunshots in his body; two in the body and two in the head while Saleh had one gunshot on her head. Their bodies were found by the police in Steve's Tennessee condo.

After some preliminary investigations, it was concluded that (wholesaleTampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys) Steve McNair was killed by his girlfriend Saleh and after that she killed herself. This conclusion was reached after gun-powder was found on Saleh's hands but after that the case was closed and no more investigations were done.

Now it is going to be a year since Steve McNair died but his death will remain a mystery.

49ers' Carr not dwelling on the past

SANTA CLARA – David Carr's locker is sandwiched between Alex Smith's and Nate Davis in the 49ers' locker room, and it doesn't get the heavy traffic. Smith is the projected face of the offense. Nate Davis  is an intriguing project, a player with a unique ability to polarize Niners fans. Those two have been receiving a lot of interview requests the past few weeks, while Carr quietly goes about his business.


It wasn't always this way, of course.

During his first five seasons with the Houston Texans (2002-06), Carr played, and lived, under a high-powered microscope. As the first overall pick of the 2002 draft – and the first in the history of the Texans franchise – he was expected to lead the brand-new team to the big time. For five years he was celebrated, vilified, gossiped about, analyzed, quantified and generally picked clean.

Eight years after leaving Fresno State, Carr is in a much different place.

Generally considered a bust as the top pick, he has been reborn as one of those capable, unexciting backups who go from team to team and act as insurance should the starter go down with an injury.

It's not as glamorous as his former role, but Carr seems to have settled into a much more comfortable frame of mind.

"Now, it's so much about just football," he said after practice one day last week.

"All that other stuff I worried about when I was younger, how the perception was, how I came across to certain people, even my teammates ... If you master your football stuff and you go out there and you play like you're supposed to, everything will take care of itself."

Carr started only four games during one season in Carolina (2007), and none in his two years with the Giants (2008-09). He said he learned valuable lessons from veterans Vinny Testaverde and Jake Delhomme in Carolina, and from Manning, too.

Miami Dolphins Intersted In Ex-BYU Running Back Harvey Unga

April's draft has passed and the team has already signed a handful of undrafted free agents, but the Miami Dolphins might not be finished adding players from the college ranks just yet.

According to Rams sideline reporter Brian Stull of 101 ESPN in St. Louis, the Miami Dolphins  are reportedly one of the teams that is "very interested" in former BYU running back Harvey Unga.

Unga, who voluntarily withdrew from the university along with his girlfriend in April after an undisclosed violation of the school's strict honor code, will be available in this year's supplemental draft to be held July 15.

BYU's all-time leading rusher with 3,455 yards, the 6-foot-1, 215-pound Unga is slated to work out for at least 14 NFL jerseys teams a week before the supplemental draft on July 8.

Despite being seemingly set at running back in 2010, it's not surprising the Dolphins have shown an interest in Unga.

Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are both slated for unrestricted free agency in 2011, while Patrick Cobbs is better suited for a situational role and Lex Hilliard is still largely unproven with questionable upside.

A bruising ball-carrier, Unga fits perfectly in the team's power rushing attack and could be utilized in a role similar to that of Marion Barber III in Dallas.

However, Unga could go as high as the fourth round in the supplemental draft, which is a fairly steep price to pay for a running back that has a lot of tread on his tires and a somewhat concerning injury history.

The supplemental draft, which began in 1977, worked like a silent auction and allows teams to bid on available prospects with draft picks in the following year's draft.

Typically, players in the draft have been declared academically ineligible or have been kicked off their college team for one reason or another.

The Dolphins have selected just one player in the 33-year history of the supplemental draft—USC defensive tackle Manuel Wright in 2005.

In a troubled two seasons with the Dolphins, Wright appeared in just three games and recorded four tackles and a sack before his release on May 1, 2007.
