NFL Draft Wish List, Part 1 «
The first half of the offseason’s roster building is over. Sure, there are a few scattered free agents who will sneak onto rosters mostly undetected over the next several weeks, but those deals will be more about value than they will be about need. In terms of teams going out into the market and trying to fill the holes on their roster, the capital commitment period is finished. The Jets needed cornerbacks and bought a bunch.

No, Russell Wilson isn't going to play baseball | HeraldNet.com - Seattle Sidelines
Russell Wilson mentioned baseball again, which of course means another round of debating whether or not the Seattle Seahawks quarterback and former Colorado Rockies farmhand would actually ever attempt to juggle two sports professionally.

Backup Quarterback Is A Glaring Need for Seattle Seahawks - RantSports
