AFC North: Dannell Ellerbe not Hearing from Ravens, & Steelers Rebuild Continues

Jason — Sat, 09 Mar 2013 21:45:37 +0000

UPDATE 4:45 PM

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe is already receiving contract offers, but none of them are from the Ravens, but Ellerbe’s agent Hadley Engelhard knows it’s only begun to pickup:

“I’ve had dialogue with teams,” Engelhard said. “There were several. One team in particular called me at 12:01. There’s nothing to report right now. I expect things to pick up at the beginning of the week as we approach Tuesday. That’s where we are.”

After cutting linebacker James Harrison earlier, the Pittsburgh Steelers have tendered contract offers to runningbacks Isaac Redman & Jonathan Dwyer, receiver Emmanuel Sanders, and and defensive lineman Steve McLendon.

#Browns have talked to agent of #Chargers CB Antoine Cason, source confirms.

AFC’s Hottest Teams: Which One Is It? Take Your Pick.

Alex Peterman — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:15:51 +0000

What’s the hottest team in the AFC right now? That’s a pretty subjective question.

The Ravens are coming off of three straight wins, but have been pretty streaky on offense with Joe Flacco at the helm. One week he’s incredible. One week he has a miserable showing, and then the next he’s somewhere in the middle.

The Denver Broncos have also been ripping off wins, as Peyton Manning continues his push for comeback player-of-the-year. The defense is beyond solid to back it up as well, making for a dangerous playoff team. Did they just take the Chiefs a little too lightly? They seemed to be quite in the game for a while.

The Houston Texans grinded out a tough one over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field and never looked back, as they now have a 10-1 record. The only game they played remotely poorly in was that one loss to Green Bay. Are they the most solid team in the league at this point? What about that scary game against the Jaguars a couple weeks ago?
