In training camp, the Cowboys asked Terrell Owens not to focus on a segment of the playbook because he was having a difficult time grasping it.

Not only have the Dolphins not contacted Ricky Williams since Nick Saban left, they haven't told his reps if they plan to keep or trade him. His NFL reinstatement -- provided he doesn't stumble -- is set for mid-April.

His offseason moves indicate new GM Jerry Reese wants to get the Giants younger and healthier, which won't necessarily result in more victories right away. That won't help Tom Coughlin get another contract extension.
-- New York Daily News

Despite reports that the Giants are expecting to meet this week with linebacker Cato June, no visit has been scheduled and thus far, there's been little interest by the Giants in the unrestricted free-agent.
