Giants | Prince Amukamara on track Fri Jan 30, 03:53 PM
New York Giants CB Prince Amukamara (biceps) is on track to in his recovery from a torn biceps. Amukamara could be cleared for full activity by the beginning of March and would be ready for the start of minicamp and training camp. 'I feel good. No worries at all. I'll be set to go,' Amukamara said.
| Footballguys view: A good sign for the young cornerback here. Amukamara is likely to be limited in minicamp as the team doesn't want to re-aggravate the injury. However, if all goes well, we'd expect Amukamara to be a full participant for training camp. |

Seahawks | Byron Maxwell expected to be FA priority Sat Jan 24, 11:57 AM
Seattle Seahawks impending free-agent CB Byron Maxwell is expected to be one of the players the team wants to re-sign this offseason, according to general manager John Schneider.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks want to keep their secondary together if at all possible. Opposing quarterbacks have targeted Maxwell often as they tend to stay away from Richard Sherman's side of the field. He'll be one of the best free agent corners on the market if he's able to explore his options. Seattle is already paying Sherman $40 million guaranteed and an annual average salary of $14 million. It may prove to be difficult to find enough money for Maxwell. |

Lions | Met with four prospects Thu Jan 22, 05:21 AM
The Detroit Lions scheduled interviews with DT Danny Shelton (Washington), CB Doran Grant (Ohio State), CB Quinten Rollins (Miami Ohio) and QB Bryce Petty (Baylor) during Senior Bowl activities.
| Footballguys view: The Lions are always looking for an edge in the secondary and could have to replace Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley this offseason (both are free agents) so all these make sense. Petty could get looked at as a backup right now. According to our very own Cecil Lammey and Matt Waldman, Petty has struggled to impress during the week of practice in Mobile. |

Packers | Aaron Rodgers not scared of top CB Tue Jan 13, 09:18 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday, Jan. 13, that the team is not afraid of throwing at Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman. In Week 1, Rodgers never threw to Sherman's side, but head coach Mike McCarthy insisted this week that it was not intentional. 'You have to be aware of him,' Rodgers said. 'Not scared of him, but you have a ton of respect for him. Look at the numbers, they don't lie.'
| Footballguys view: Part of the reason they didn't throw at Sherman was that Jarrett Boykin was the receiver matched up against him. This time it will be Davante Adams, who appears to be much more capable than Boykin. |
