The New England Patriots veteran wide receiver Randy Moss is now represented by a new agent Joel Segal, who is also representing New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick. Moss’ former agent Tim DiPiero, was fired after failing to get enough off-field opportunities for his client.
"To all the agents out there, I'm a free man!" Moss in an Archie Manning jersey told the Boston Herald when he ended his business relationship with DiPiero. "I am looking for a new agent. I got this football thing under control, but going into my 13th year in the league, I’m still marketable. I’m looking for an agent that’s going to get me out there with my marketing ability. I can shoot commercials. That’s what I’m looking for right now, that off-the-field money.”
Although Moss insisted that he hired a new agent to get more commercial offers, there are speculations that he was preparing for a negotiation with the team for a new contract. Having played with the Patriots for three seasons, Moss has been reported to want a contract extension that may pay him a higher salary for next season.

Raiders hammered out contracts with two rookies
The Oakland Raiders rookie tackle Jared Veldheer was just working out on his own in an Archie Manning jersey when he received a call from his new teammate, rookie guard Bruce Campbell to inform him of an upcoming rookie contract. The two met with each other the next day at team headquarter and signed their names on their respective rookie contracts.
The team did not release the detailed information about the two rookies’ contracts, and they even did not tell reporters how long each contract would keep the two rookies with them. If they received two standard rookie contracts, they would be two four-year deals. But according reports, third-round draft pick Veldheer could have a bigger contract than fourth—rounder Campbell, because Veldheer has a better resume than Campbell.
At height 6-foot-8 and weighing 315 pound, Veldheer was a Division II All-American selection and a three-time all-conference pick before he was drafted by the Raiders as the 69th overall pick, while 6-foot-6 Campbell fell to fourth round because of less consistency and intensity in actual games.

Rookie RB McKnight received lucrative contract from Jets
The New York Jets made announcement on Tuesday that they have signed fourth-round draft pick, rookie running back Joe McKnight to a four-year contract that will pay McKnight a total base salary of nearly $2.36 million. The deal was considered a rare one a rookie can receive from his first NFL team.
Growing up as a faithful New Orleans Saints fan, McKnight previously hoped to join the defending champion team and put on the number 8 that used to be on his beloved Archie Manning jersey. However, he ended up wearing 25 with the Jets. So the big contract could also be signed to prevent McKnight from signing with another team. Although he was drafted 112th overall, McKnight’s performance during college was rather impressive. He rushed for 2,213 career yards at USC with 13 touchdowns and 66 catches for 542 yards.
It was weird McKnight was not picked by other team in higher round, and the Jets were really lucky. They may feel so and that was why they are willing to the rookie a base salary of $320,000 in his first season. Good player is worth good price.

Peyton Manning returned to practice from neck injury
As the Indianapolis Colts opened their first offseason minicamp on Friday, we were glad to see the starting quarterback Peyton Manning also participate in most parts of the workouts. It seems the neck problem is no longer bothering him and the leading role of Colts was ready to start a new wonderful season.
“I’m out here throwing and I’ll no longer have to get the treatment that I’ve been getting for the last four years. It’s a great relief,” Manning said Friday, assuring his fans that there is nothing to worry about his neck. “All my symptoms and issues that I’ve been dealing with for the last four years have subsided.”
Returning of Peyton lit up the hopes of Colts winning the Super Bowl XLV championship. The team lost the Super Bowl XLIV to the New Orleans Saints in February. Talking about the loss to the former team of his father, Archie Manning, Peyton said that he was grateful for father’s support and felt regretful for the loss. But he promised that he would win the new competition in 2011. He joked that his father had got ready to put on his Archie Manning jersey for celebration of son’s third Super Bowl victory.
