David's Daily Digest
[of football]

More football for the fan to swallow, nine days into the post 43rd Super Bowl era. We have less than eight days before the combine starts, less than 17 until free agency opens, and then we'll be counting down to the 2009 NFL draft. And you thought football was over.

This week's stories...

BOLDIN NOT LISTENING
Not only are there reports indicating that Cardinal's receiver Anquan Boldin is not listening to any offers from the team, but ESPN's John Clayton is reporting that both the Eagles and Giants could be possible landing destinations for the unhappy red-bird. Philly, a sensible possibility and with two first round picks is considered to be the favorite.

HAYNESWORTH COULD MOVE
Its starting to sound more and more like, while Albert would like to stay in Tennessee, the team won't be able to pony up the big bucks to keep him. There's no question he will be one of the most sought after free agents when the market opens. While Tampa is being considered a favorite new home, teams I believe that could make a big play for his services are Denver, Arizona, and Kansas City. If Haynesworth is looking for a big payday it is likely he be playing somewhere other than Tennessee.

TO THE TALK IN OAKLAND?
The National Post's Mike Lombardi believes that Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens is likely on his way out and could possibly find his way to the Bay area playing for another dysfunctional team owner. No question the Raiders could use his help at the wideout position and already considered a team of misfits, T.O. might find himself right at home. The talk seems to be reaching a feverish pitch, but it seems it just the media doing most of the talking while the Cowboys remain steadfast, so far.

WARNER'S AGENT TO TALK WITH TEAM
Now that the excitement of the Super Bowl has passed, recent word is quarterback Kurt Warner's agent Mark Bartelstein is expected to open talks with the Arizona Cardinals. It's not a guarantee, but it certainly sounds like a good indication that Warner is considering returning more than retirement. Regardless of what happens with Boldin and his situation with the Cardinals, I believe Warner and his camp are going to only consider what is best for the 37-year old. Surely he has shown he's capable of playing at a high level and there are all signs that he can continue. Honestly, I would be completely surprised if Warner was not back in camp this summer.

FREE AGENT WATCH
The market is getting close to opening and with so many names expected to become available, fans will have to wait and see if the NFL experiences any of the same delayed signing we are seeing in MLB. While that may be a possible reality, there are sure to be some big signings out of the gate and some names to watch are; QB Matt Cassel (NE), RB Brandon Jacobs (NYG), RB Correll Buckhalter (Phi), RB Derrick Ward (NYG), WR Antonio Bryant (TB), WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (Cin), WR Lance Moore (NO), TE Owen Daniels (Hou), and TE L.J. Smith (Phi). These are just a handful of the most notable players that could be available come February 27th.
