NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport reported last night that New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is not optimistic that he will be traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prior to the 2013 NFL Draft. If that ends up being the case, don’t expect to see Revis traded until closer to the start of the 2013 season, or perhaps even during the season in order to give teams a look at Revis and if he’s fully recovered from last season’s torn ACL.

Pro Football Talk is reporting that free agent middle linebacker Brian Urlacher is only considering playing for a contender, and that he’s talking with a few teams, all of which are believed to be capable of making the postseason.

Atlanta Falcons General Manager Thomas Dimitroff isn’t ruling out a reunion with free agent defensive end John Abraham, even though they cut him this offseason after they determined he wasn’t worthy of his $7 million cap umber this year.

After failing to trade disgruntled middle linebacker Rolando McClain, the Oakland Raiders decided to finally release the former 8th-overall pick of the 201 NFL Draft.

NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci is reportedly interested in coaching the San Diego Chargers, who are set to fire their current head coach, Norv Turner, at season’s end. “Mooch”, as he goes by as an analyst on the NFL Network, has been out of coaching since 2005 after he was fired by the Detroit Lions, and has a career 72-67 record coaching the Lions and the San Francisco 49ers.

The Chicago Bears and head coach Lovie Smith are optimistic that Pro Bowl MLB Brian Urlacher (hamstring) will be able to return in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions with the bears’ slim playoff hopes still alive. .

The New York Jets have been a mess at QB all season long, and backup QB Tim Tebow was so frustrated when the starting job was given to Greg McElroy, he reportedly told the coaches he didn’t want to be used in any Wildcat packages Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, a game in which McElroy was sacked 11 times in the Jets ultimately lost, 27-17.

The NFL announced last night that the Week 17 showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins has been flexed to Sunday Night Football on NBC on December 30. That game will determine the winner of the NFC East.

Despite being benched for third-stringer Greg McElroy after throwing three interceptions against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, Jets QB Mark Sachez will reportedly get the start against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

The hits keep coming for the once vaunted Bears defense. After watching rookie QB Russell Wilson drive the Seahawks to essentially two game-winning drives on Sunday, Chicago fell out of first-place in the NFC North, and now will be without MLB Brian Urlacher, who is expected to miss the next three games with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.

Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs still doesn’t know if he’ll be able to play again this season after he suffered a torn biceps muscle in Sunday’s loss to the Steelers.

The Dolphins have placed OT Jake Long (triceps) on the injured reserve, ending his season, but the team intends to try and re-sign him this offseason as he’ll be a free agent

Packers starting RB James Starks suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury in Sunday’s win over the Vikings. This comes just a week after the team learned that Cedric Benson will be unable to return this year from his foot injury.

The Patriots have placed WR Julian Edelman on injured reserve with a broken foot.
