Finally something substantial. Shalise Manza Young of the Providence Journal reports:
The Jacksonville Jaguars released all-time leading rusher Fred Taylor earlier this week in a salary-cap move, and it looks right now as if the veteran could be headed for the AFC East.
Both the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills are the top landing spots [...]
As any Patriots fan probably knows, Pats’ nose tackle Vince Wilfork expires after the 2009 season. As any Patriots also probably knows, Vince Wilfork is one of the most important pieces of the team. Now, after a long hiatus from discussing a possible contract, Wilfork and the Patriots are once again in discussions. John Tomase [...]
Mike Reiss breaks it down:

In four years at Virginia, Sintim totaled 246 tackles and 26 sacks, 19 [...]
The Patriots have released two role players in wide receiver Kelley Washington and guard Billy Yates. The two releases will free up a little more than $1.5 million. While that may not seem like a lot of space, it could be the difference in say, retaining a James Sanders or signing a decent player through [...]
