Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Buccaneers named Mike Sullivan as their new offensive coordinator on Friday. Sullivan has spent the last eight seasons as a member of the New York Giants coaching staff and the past two years as the quarterbacks coach.
"We are very fortunate to add someone like Mike Sullivan to lead our offensive coaching staff," said Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano. "He is a man of character and a complete football coach, who fits with the kind of football team we are building here. His work with the Giants over the past eight seasons speaks for itself. Mike was an integral part of that team winning two Super Bowls in the last five years and we look forward to him bringing that experience and expertise to our club."
Fontenot has spent the past six seasons in various offensive roles with the Packers, serving as assistant offensive line coach from 2007-10 before taking over the running backs last season.
McAdoo had been the tight ends coach for the past six seasons, while Van Pelt -- a former quarterback for the Buffalo Bills from 1995-2003 -- had been the quarterbacks coach for Tampa Bay the past two seasons. He also spent four years with the Bills' staff, first as offensive quality control coach from 2006-07, then as quarterbacks coach in 2008 and offensive coordinator in 2009.
Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Randy Moss is apparently planning a comeback. Moss decided to retire last August after 13 NFL seasons and told an audience on UStream.tv Monday about trying to return for 2012. He just turned 35 years old on Monday.
Moss had a troubled 2010 season. It began with the New England Patriots, but bitterness over his contract situation -- he was in the final year of his deal -- led to an October 6 trade to the Minnesota Vikings, the team for which he started his career. Less than a month later, Moss was claimed off waivers by the Tennessee Titans.
Moss spent the first seven years of his career with the Vikings, who selected the Marshall product with the 21st overall pick in the 1998 draft. He made an immediate impact on the league, catching 17 touchdown passes in his first season.
Jacksonville, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Mark Lamping team president, new owner Shahid Khan announced Monday. Lamping, who has served as president and CEO of MetLife Stadium since 2008, will oversee all non-football operations.
Prior to his stint at MetLife -- home to both the New York Giants and Jets -- Lamping spent 13 years as president of the St. Louis Cardinals, overseeing a team which won a World Series title in 2006.
"I am very happy about returning to the Blue Bombers where I am surrounded by great teammates and coaches," said Brink. "The opportunity I have in Winnipeg is one I'm excited to be a part of and will allow me to continue to get better as a quarterback in the CFL."
The criminal complaint says Thomas pulled a bundle from his glove compartment after he was asked to provide his registration and it contained two plastic bags of a green leafy substance that appeared to be marijuana, according to the report.
Santa Clara, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Freddie Solomon, a wide receiver and punt returner for the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers in the 1970s and 80s, has died. Solomon, 59, died Monday, the 49ers said in a statement. He had been battling cancer.
The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.
Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.
Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris Beanie Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.
A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.
Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.
Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.
And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted Wild Cat offense and could be a big time playmaker.
