Minnesota Vikings Actively Shopping Tarvaris Jackson
 
Are you surprised?
 
After Brett Favre’s solid showing in the Vikings third pre-season game, as well as the trade for Sage Rosenfels in the off-season, the under-whelming Jackson was clearly the odd man out.

Reports have T-Jax bringing back Minnesota nothing more than a mid-round pick in next year’s draft, and with little-to-no leverage, they’ll be lucky if they get that.

Jackson is still a young, athletic passer with a good amount of potential, but there doesn’t appear to be a clear front-runner for his services in 2009.

Just know that he won’t be wearing purple.

 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Fire Offensive Coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski
 
This close to the season?
 
We’re smelling something fishy here, and it has nothing to do with Marlins or Dolphins.
 
Jagodzinski has been marred in controversy for the past year due to his personal decisions on coaching both in college and in the NFL, but this takes the cake.
 
ESPN’s Adam Schefter made the report on his Twitter, not citing any reason for the move.
 
And we thought Tampa Bay’s offense was going to struggle before.
 
Michael Vick Reinstatement Decision Coming Soon
 
Everyone knew the six-game suspension commissioner Roger Goodell originally inforced wouldn’t stick, but we didn’t know it wouldn’t even last through the pre-season.
 
Early rumors are supporting a Vick return around week three, and possibly even for week one, making the Eagles signing of him ever so clever. Maybe.
 
ESPN’s Sal Palolantonio has been covering the story since it broke before the Favre fiasco ended, but we’re still where we were at back then.
Vick still isn’t cleared to play for week one, and still doesn’t have a defined role in Philly’s offense.

Tennessee Titans Work-out Receiver Matt Jones

The ex-Jaguar is getting his first official look from an NFL club, even after a humbling interview on ESPN about a month ago.

Jones still has outstanding size and speed, and even though he knows nothing of Tennessee’s offense, he could still emerge as their top receiver if signed.

As it stands, he’d probably step in behind Justin Gauge and Kenny Britt, while surpassing the injured Nate Washington.

The Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys, both in need of an impact receiver, are reportedly keeping a close watch on the situation.

No Progress in Brandon Marshall Trade Talks

The heat is on Josh McDanies and the Broncos, as they have heard plenty of interest from the New York Jets, but still have a hefty asking price on the table.

The reported offer has been Marshall for a New York first round pick, along with veteran linebacker, David Harris.

If Denver doesn’t budge on either Harris or the pick, the reportedly won’t happen.

Bengals’ Carson Palmer Expected to be Ready for Opener

Isn’t this the same news we got all of last season?

Palmer was apparently at full health heading into pre-season, but then arm questions again emerged.

This time the concern is over his ankle, but with soid practices lately, head coach Marvin Lewis is holding him out of the final pre-season game, merely as a precaution.

Brett Favre to Sit for Minnesota’s Final Pre-season Game

This isn’t news, but since it’s Favre, it still makes headlines.

Add the arm surgery, his age, and the reported cracked rib all together, and you’ve got a concerned Brad Childress.

Besides, they may want to give Tarvaris Jackson the full stage as they try to up his value in the wake of trade rumors.

Favre will be more than ready to go for the season opener at Cleveland.
