NFL: March 2008 Archives

It's been two weeks and two days since Chris Brown signed a two-year deal with the Houston Texans worth a reported $3.6 million. The Heat Index took a look at how the blogosphere responded to the news of the former All-American at Naperville North signing his free agent deal.

Pro Football talk was bare bones, but did offer a bit of analysis by mentioning Brown would have to compete with Ahman Green for carries.

Naperville North alumnus Justin McCareins agreed to the terms of a one-year contract with Tennessee on Wednesday.

This short-term deal indicates it's do-or-die for the 6-foot-2, 215-pound wide receiver, who only two weeks ago, got released from the final three years of a seven-year deal with the New York Jets.

With all that time on the bench over the last two years in New York -- McCareins made only 13 starts -- it seems there should still be plenty of life left in his legs and career.
