Here are some highlights of our AFC West chat, which was held earlier Thursday: Denver Kyle Gasner from San Diego: Would Aubrayo Franklin be a good signing for the Broncos? Bill Williamson: At this point, sure, as a decent rotational guy. Wh...

A lot has been made of Terrelle Pryor telling Sports Illustrated that he questioned whether he wanted to keep playing football last season and that he is now re-energized by the clean slate in Oakland. What Pryor, who was taken in the third round ...

Let's take a quick look at the early-Tuesday-morning headlines from around the NFC South. As you might expect, many of them include the New Orleans Saints and their various problems. Free-agent defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin, who spent last se...

The San Francisco 49ers need to identify a starting right guard. Adam Snyder is out, having signed with Arizona. Chilo Rachal appears to be out, having reached free agency without the 49ers showing much interest in him. Daniel Kilgore remains, but...

Free agency is winding down, but there are still some players available who can help each AFC West team. Let's look at a good fit, in my opinion, for each team. This doesn't necessarily mean any of these players are on the team's radar, but I thin...

It will be lost in the specter of Peyton Manning's arrival and Tim Tebow's departure, the loss of Brodrick Bunkley is significant in Denver. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Bunkley has signed a five-year, $25 million deal with the Saints with $9 mill...

It appears we've hit a little lull after a fast start to free agency through most of the NFC South. But I'm not expecting it to last. I expect another wave of signings in the coming days. They might not be as big as the early ones, but several NFC So...

One player I think will be outgoing, one player I think should be incoming, for the Indianapolis Colts once free agency opens Tuesday afternoon. I'm steering clear of the huge guys on the incoming category, as it's easy to say a team should covet ...

Let's take a look at the Sunday headlines from around the NFC South. It's almost a certainty the Atlanta Falcons will be looking for a left tackle. Sam Baker has not worked out and could be released and Will Svitek might be better off as a backup....

The NFC South is a division without a dominant defensive tackle. But I think it's fair to say Atlanta's Corey Peters and Jonathan Babineaux, New Orleans' Sedrick Ellis and Tampa Bay's Brian Price were the best the NFC South had to offer in 2011. A...

No NFC South team faces a more challenging period between now and the start of free agency than the New Orleans Saints. They have to find a way to re-sign quarterback Drew Brees, and there are at least a couple other players that it's essential th...

Filippo from Windsor, Canada, thinks Alex Smith, not Kyle Williams, was the 49ers' biggest problem in the NFC Championship Game. He wondered whether the team could trade for Peyton Manning this offseason. Mike Sando: There will almost certainly be...

While Drew Brees could potentially become a free agent this winter and shop around for another team, that scenario strikes Saints coach Sean Payton as a bit far-fetched.

It's been a rough couple days for fans of the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans was eliminated from the playoffs by San Francisco on Saturday and the gloom is going to linger for a bit. But I've got a little news that might help it begin to lift. ...

Nearly five months have passed since I set team-by-team expectations for the NFC West based on what I'd seen at training camps. The San Francisco 49ers outperformed expectations. The St. Louis Rams fell far short. The Arizona Cardinals and Seattle...

A lot can change between now and the start of free agency and I sure don't see any way the New Orleans Saints let quarterback/King Drew Brees walk away. I also think there's a pretty good chance tight end Tony Gonzalez can return to the Atlanta Falco...
