The NFL may not be in season, but there is always news and fun things going on around the league.  Here is some of the news going around the National Football League.

All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis is one of the new up incoming stars at the cornerback position, but he has been holding out of OTA’s hoping to gain a new contract.  But as of today Revis  has returned to practice with the New York Jets .

Revis  wants to be the highest-paid player at his position, but was initially scheduled to make just $1 million in the fourth season of his six-year rookie deal.  Nnamdi Asomugha is the highest-paid cornerback in the National Football League after signing a three-year, $45.3 million extension last offseason, but Asomugha deserved it he is the only corner in the league in which quarterbacks just refuse to throw the ball his way.  Revis had one good solid year lets see if he can keep up the good work in the 2010 season.

The St. Louis Rams announced Monday that they have acquired  four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Isaac Bruce from the San Fransisco 49ers in advance of a retirement news conference coming Wednesday. The  trade didn’t include an exchange of players or draft picks, according to Rams spokesman Casey Pearce.

Bruce holds the Rams franchise records for receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Along with Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk and Torry Holt, Bruce was the part of the high-scoring “Greatest Show on Turf” team that went to two Super Bowls. He caught the winning touchdown pass from Warner in the 23-16 victory over the Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000.

Bruce is second all-time in the NFL in receiving yards (15,208), fifth in receptions (1,024) and ninth in receiving touchdowns (91).

The Chargers have drawn a line in the sand with restricted free agents Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill, warning them that their 2010 salaries will be cut deeply if they do not decide to sign their tenders by June 15 .  To me Vincent Jackson is one of their better wideouts on the team and he deserves more money, but this is why I am not a GM.

Jackson, 27, made the Pro Bowl for the first time in 2009 after totaling 1,167 receiving yards and a career-high nine touchdowns. McNeill, 26, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection.

In New England all eyes are not on Tom Brady, but all on Wes Welker who went down last season with a knee injury.  Welker seems to be right on track participating in the Patriots OTA’s and making cuts with out hesitation and pain.

Might the Patriots star wide receiver defy forecasts and actually be able to return for the season opener?

Even Welker was surprised by the optimistic, almost giddy, reaction to last Wednesday’s workout, where he did agility drills, ran routes and caught passes from Brady precisely four months after having surgery on a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Welker had this to say according to nfl.com:

“I didn’t think it’d be that big a deal,” Welker said after a similar session Monday during the Patriots’ organized team activities. “I’ve been pushing it and trying to get ready and get out there with my teammates, get a few reps and try and get better as much as we can.”

The NFL is always in solid motion and I can not wait to get back into the season in September.  Next week i will spin you around the league and keep you posted on all news in the NFL.
