Steve Smith signed a 3 year extension with the Panthers.

Best receiver in Panther's history.

Steve Smith signed a 3 year extension with the Panthers.

Best receiver in Panther's history.

Very true, Can't wait to see what him and Cam can do this year. It's going to be a season to watch for them I believe.

[Pimp_From_The_Grave]

Best remaining FA's:

1. RB Cedric Benson: Benson posted his third straight 1,000-yard rushing season last year, proving to be durable after injury problems and rumors about his toughness emerged early in his career. Although all running backs wear out, Benson's late emergence indicates he appears to have time on the clock.

2. DE Andre Carter: He had 10 sacks in 14 games before a quad injury knocked him out for the rest of the season. Carter's career has been up and down, but anybody who's capable of double-digit sacks will be working if he wants to.

3. OT Marcus McNeill: McNeill is only 28, so he still has plenty of time to resurrect his once-promising career. Injuries have cost him a lot of his range and he was never the toughest guy, but the potential is there.

4. WR Plaxico Burress: Forty-five receptions, 13.6 yards per catch and eight touchdowns were good numbers for a guy coming back after two years out of the game, particularly with Mark Sanchez as his quarterback. If Randy Moss produces those kinds of numbers this season, the 49ers will be happy. Burress can still play, he's just not going to make a lot.

The Broncos believe there is a strong chance they will open at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. If not the Steelers at home, Manning vs. Tom Brady at New England on Sunday night is another possibility.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- A day after the team's offseason conditioning program kicked off, the Broncos now know exactly what they're preparing for.

Denver's 2012 schedule was released on Tuesday, and it is highlighted by five primetime games -- two on Monday Night Football, two on Sunday Night Football and one on Thursday Night Football.

The campaign features matchups with seven teams that made the playoffs in 2011, including rematches with both of the Broncos' postseason opponents.

Before we get to the full schedule, here are a few notes on the 2012 slate:

•It will be the first time in franchise history the Broncos have opened the season with primetime games in back-to-back weeks.

•The five primetime national television broadcasts are the second most in team history.

•It's just the second time in franchise history that the Broncos have opened consecutive season in primetime -- the team played on Monday Night Football to open 2011.

•Denver's regular-season opponents had a combined record of 139-117 (.543) in 2011. That marks the second-toughest strength of schedule in the NFL.

•This marks the 21st consecutive season the Broncos have played on Monday Night Football, extending the longest active streak in the NFL. It is the second-longest such streak all-time.

•This will be the 13th consecutive season the Broncos have played at least one of the previous season's two Super Bowl teams.

•The schedule features games against the division champion from the AFC North, AFC South, AFC East and NFC South.

•It marks the second consecutive season the Broncos have opened at home after starting the season on the road for six straight years.

The team finalized its preseason schedule as well, which you can find here. The Broncos' 2012 regular-season schedule is laid out below.

[Pimp_From_The_Grave]

The prodigious Jason Vida of ESPN Stats & Information has come up with some nuggets for each team’s 2012 schedule. Let’s take a look at what he has come up for the four AFC West teams:

DENVER BRONCOS

Five prime-time games are tied for most of any team, including the first two games and four of the first seven games

Denver faces 2011 playoff teams in its first three games and six of its first eight games (only face 1 2011 playoff team in final eight games).


KANSAS CITY CHEFS

The Chiefs have two stretches from Oct. 14 to Nov. 12 when they have at least 11 calendar days between games.

The final six games are against teams that did not have a winning record in 2011.


OAKLAND RAIDERS

The Raiders leave the state of California once in the final five games.


SAN DIEGO CHARGERS

The Chargers have four straight games against 2011 playoff teams in Weeks 11-14.

[Pimp_From_The_Grave]

Here’s what the Broncos should expect in 2012 after the NFL released Denver’s schedule on Tuesday (and here’s a go-to link to the Broncos 2012 schedule with links):




Week 1
Sunday, Sept. 9
Steelers … Sports Authority Field … 6:20 p.m. MDT, NBC
Peyton Manning will try to do in first game of 2012 what Tim Tebow did in last home game of 2011 season: Outduel Ben Roethlisberger and outfox Dick LeBeau.


Week 2
Monday, Sept. 17
at Falcons … Georgia Dome … 6:30 p.m. MDT, ESPN
Regular season is a tough time to play the Falcons. They have averaged 11 wins in Matt Ryan’s four-season career.


Week 3
Sunday, Sept. 23
Texans … Sports Authority Field … 2:15 p.m. CBS
Gary Kubiak’s restructured team should have QB Matt Schaub back healthy, but they’ll be without Mario Williams, Joe Dreessen, Eric Winston, LB Demeco Ryans.


Week 4
Sunday, Sept. 30
Raiders … Sports Authority Field … 2:05 p.m. MDT CBS
The first game the rival Raiders will play in Denver since legendary owner Al Davis passed away. The 2011 season-opener in Denver was the last game Davis attended.


Week 5
Sunday, Oct. 7
at Patriots … Gillette Stadium … 2:15 p.m. MDT CBS
The greatest QB rivalry of all-time: Manning vs. Brady. After Brady’s Pats won the first six, Manning has won four of the last six.


Week 6
Monday, Oct. 15
at Chargers … Qualcomm Stadium … 6:30 p.m. ESPN
Before anointing repeat AFC West title to Broncos, remember that Philip Rivers is 4-1 lifetime in head-to-head games against Manning.


Week 7 … Bye


Week 8
Sunday, Oct. 28
Saints …. Sports Authority Field … 6:20 MDT NBC
Manning will have Tracy Porter on his side this time. Bounty scandal makes this game more winnable.


Week 9
Sunday, Nov. 4
at Bengals …. Paul Brown Stadium … 11 a.m. MST, CBS
Can Peyton Manning cover A.J. Green? In game 2 in Denver last year, the rookie had 10 catches for 124 yards and a TD.


Week 10
Sunday, Nov. 11
at Panthers …. Bank of America Stadium … 11 a.m. MST CBS
John Fox returns to where he coached for nine seasons, three that were 11-5 or better.


Week 11
Sunday, Nov. 18
Chargers … Sports Authority Field … 2:15 p.m. MST, CBS
San Diego lost three key offensive players in G Kris Dielman (retirement), WR Vincent Jackson (free agency, Tampa Bay) and RB Mike Tolbert (free agency, Carolina).


Week 12
Sunday, Nov. 25
at Chiefs … Arrowhead Stadium … 11 a.m. MST, CBS
New Chiefs’ backup Brady Quinn would have plenty of secrets about Broncos’ offense — except Broncos’ offense figures to change with Manning.


Week 13
Sunday, Dec. 2
Buccaneers … Sports Authority Field … 2:05 p.m. MST, FOX
College coach Greg Schiano is the Bucs’ third head coach in five years.


Week 14
Thursday, Dec. 6
Raiders … O.co Coliseum … 6:20 p.m. MST, NFL Network
Once again, the Raiders have a new head coach. Former Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is their third in three years, four in five years and six in eight years.


Week 15
Sunday, Dec. 16
at Ravens … M&T Bank Stadium … 11 a.m. MST, CBS
Broncos are 0-5 lifetime against Ravens in Baltimore, losing by 14, 23, 20, 11 and 18 points.


Week 16
Sunday, Dec. 23
Browns … Sports Authority Field … 2:05 p.m. MST, CBS
Colt McCoy is going to break the hex the Broncos have on Cleveland?


Week 17
Sunday, Dec. 30
Chiefs …. Sports Authority Field … 2:15 p.m. MST, CBS
Had it not been for the Broncos signing Manning, Chiefs might have been the team to beat in AFC West with the return of Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry and
Tony Moeaki.

First two picks are locks. No. 3 is not. Minnesota strongly debating Morris Claiborne, Justin Blackmon, Ryan Kalil, even Michael Floyd.

Bengals don't leave state of Ohio from weeks 5-10 (four home games, one bye, one game at Cleveland).

Eagles have been shopping CB Asante Samuel in recent days, according to NFL sources around league. Eagles looking to make trade before draft.



ProFootballFocus.com ‏ @ProFootbalFocus

Asante Samuel may be a better CB than people realize. Was thrown at deep (20+) 12 times last year, allowed 1 catch.

Saints play only one 2011 playoff team during interim HC Joe Vitt's six game suspension.

[johnk5150]

Cam Newton and Calvin Johnson are the finalist for the Madden cover.

I hope it's Johnson as he's in the Bears division and wreaks everloving havoc when they play.

[sin]

The only way Johnson doesn't break the Madden curse is if he breaks a bone.

Patriots T Matt Light has decided to hang 'em up, which will leave gisele bundchen's boyfriend as the last player still around from New England's championships.

[Pimp_From_The_Grave]

Adam Schefter

No great surprise, it's what most expected, but Colts have told Andrew Luck they will take him with the No. 1 overall pick, per NFL source.




Free agent RB Cedrc Benson has not met with any teams since free agency started on March 12th. at 29, there probably won’t be much call for him to be a workhorse even though he’s run for more than 1,000 yards in each of the last three seasons. For his career he has rushed for 5,769 yards and 31 touchdowns.

Happy Birthday to Pittburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu 4/19/1981

[Pimp_From_The_Grave]

Deadline to sign other club's RFAs to offer sheet comes today. No action expected. Mike Wallace is biggest name, but expected to remain a Steeler.


@ClaytonESPN: Poor Kyle Boller. He lost out on a chance to go back to Baltimore when the Ravens decided to go with Curtis Painter.


@ClaytonESPN: Thought it was interesting the Vikings revealed their final three are Kalil, Claiborne and Blackmon. They still would like a trade.


I honor of 420 - Ohio State T Mike Adams tests positive for Marijuana use http://wp.me/p2cFPb-yK

Curtis Painter reunited with Caldwell. That inspires all kinds of excitement.

With 4 pm deadline approaching, no team has been willing to sign Steelers RFA WR Mike Wallace to offer sheet. Return to Pitt official at 4.

[Pimp_From_The_Grave]

NFL radio was reporting that director of player personnel Nick Caserio confirms the Patriots will listen to offers for backup quarterbacks Ryan Mallett and Brian Hoyer.

Caserio's wording suggests those calls have yet to be fielded. Mallett would likely cost at least a second-round pick with Hoyer scheduled to hit free agency in 2013. Entering the offseason, Hoyer was still clearly ahead of Mallett on depth chart. Apr. 19 - 4:43 pm et.

[WTF]
