There is no need for Cowboys to worry about one position while going to the next season, it is the tight ends. The Cowboys are blessed with a good mixture of young and experienced players as their tight ends. The main strength of this team is Jason Witten, who is only 25 years of age and has already four pro bowls and all -pro selection to his credit. Witten is instrumental in rewriting records of Cowboy’s in several categories. He has the highest reception score of 348 and highest receiving yards of 3983 in the history of tight ends of Cowboys.

Jason Witten currently has the 6th rank for receiving yards and 7th position for receptions, in the club rankings. He has achieved this within five seasons and the year 2007 was the best in his career with 96 catches and 1,145 Yards. He was ranked 2nd among tight ends in 2007 in the NFL. Cowboys will not experience any problem regarding the play from their tight ends as Jason is not only a pass-catcher but one of the best blockers in the team and hopefully he will be labeled as the most perfect tight end in NFL. There are other talented players as tight ends like Tony Curtis and Anthony Fasano to support the team.

The general manager of the Cleveland Browns is a happy man signing running back Jamal Lewis to play for Browns last March as he has proved to be the most valuable player for the Browns by running 1,304 yards with 298 carries with an average of 4.4 yards per attempt. Lewis has now signed an extended contract with the Browns that will keep him in Cleveland for another three years. Talking to reporters on his extended contract with the Browns, Jamal said that he wants to take the team to greater heights and if possible lead it to a championship title.
There is a possibility that Jamal Lewis could also touch 10,000 yards in his career and he is currently at 9,105 yards in his eight year at the NFL. So, there is every possibility that he can achieve his goal in the 2008 season itself, provided he stays fit and healthy. If Lewis touches down on 10,000 yard mark, he will be the 24th player in the history of the NFL to achieve this great feat and he says that he is still the old Jamal and has the fire power in his belly to reach the 10,000 yard mark.

Rod Smith, one of the best players that the Broncos have ever produced, will be on the reserve/retirement list, as per the mutual agreement between the wide receiver player and the Denver Broncos management. There was no pomp, hype or press conference called for announcing the same and was found to be fitting in the way it was delivered. Smith seems to have not fully recovered from the hip debridement surgery and showed signs of pain worsening in his hip after a brief practice session. He underwent another hip surgery in January and the move to keep him in the reserve list has ended a 14 year continuous playing for the Denver Broncos.

Smith said that he was happy playing for all these 14 years and he pretty well knows that once he takes a step out of the playing field, then there will be no way that will make him return to the field again. Rod Smith finds his name to be outside the Broncos primary roster list after 13 years and whatever has been achieved by him will be cherished by his team mates and his organization for many years to come. Smith says that, in football when a player says that he is done, then, it is has to be understood that the deal is over.
