The Detroit Lions choose former Georgia Bulldogs quarterback Matthew Stafford with the first pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. The sky seems to be the limit for Stafford as far as his rifle arm and intangible skills are concerned. The Lions can not rush him through like they did with Joey Harrington.

They must bring him along carefully with patience and forgiveness. Much like the Indianapolis Colts did with Peyton Manning. In other draft news, the New York Jets traded up for USC Trojans quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Jets are in dire need of a quarterback since Brett Favre retired and Kellen Clemens isn`t the direction the want to go in right now.

The Oakland Raiders should get the bonehead move of the draft, as they seem to do annually in my opinion. They selected Darrius Heyward-Beyout out of Maryland. Not to knock Heyward-Bey, but to pass on possible future Pro-Bowlers Michael Crabtree, and not to mention Jeremy Maclin, has me puzzled in a daze! Why does Oakland do this every year with their high picks?

All in all it was an interesting draft for all teams involved. No major trades were made and stars like Anquan Boldin and Julius Peppers stayed put for now. They along with others, were rumored to be on the move but nothing happened. Should be another great year in the NFL like it always is!

The already upstart Atlanta Falcons added another piece to their offensive juggernaut. They acquired future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez from the Kansas City Chiefs, for a 2010 second round draft pick.

Gonzalez caught 96 passes for 1,058 yards and ten touchdowns last year. He has the record for NFL career catches for tight ends with 916, plus 10,940 yards receiving, 76 TDs receiving and 26 100-yard receiving games.

All are NFL records that may never be broken. Gonzalez  who is now 33, asked to be traded last year in October. However, general manager Carl Peterson said no team Gonzalez was willing to go to made a good enough offer for him. Apparently, the Falcons played the right card for him and now the rest of the league will fill his wrath on the gridiron.

With Gonzalez in the mix, the Falcons will now build on last seasons success. Quarterback Matt Ryan and back Michael Turner will be more than happy to roll out the red carpet for Gonzalez. He adds a dimension they missed last season with former Falcon Algie Crumpler.

With just a week or so away from this year`s NFL draft, the annual NFL schedule was released today. I must admit, there is some very interesting games to be played and some grudge matches to be settled.

 Those interesting games include the Denver Broncos against the New England Patriots on October 11th. This game will include New Bronco head coach Josh McDaniels against the team he helped run on offense as coordinator. You also have Tom Brady who he mentored playing against the Coach who guided him to all of those Super Bowls as coordinator.

The Dallas Cowboys lead all teams with 6 scheduled nationally televised games and this is despite releasing Terrell Owens, who is now with the Buffalo Bills. I guess this is your reward for not even making the playoffs.

The Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers and Ben Roethlisberger play their bitter rival, the Baltimore Ravens two times in just 5 weeks. Those games are on November 29 and December 27th. Merry Christmas Baltimore.

Dallas will open up their new $1.1 billion stadium in a nationally televised Sunday night game versus the New York Giants on September 20th. The very first Monday night game has the New England Patriots in what will be Tom Brady`s return against the Buffalo Bills.

 A very interesting game to behold. You have what could be a very agile Tom Brady and the king of smack in Terrell Owens making his Bills debut. All in all this should be a very interesting season, at least on paper for all NFL fans to enjoy! I must admit though, without Brett Favre it just doesn`t seem the same.

The New York Giants released wide receiver and Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress, a little more than 4 months after the receiver accidentally shot himself in the thigh in a New York City nightclub. This came as no surprise to most NFL fans, but even though his now former team mates had his blessing to come back, the Giants decided enough was enough.

Since that a game-winning touchdown catch in the Super Bowl against the previously undefeated Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, Burress has fallen out of favor with the public and the Giants organization. He faces a felony weapons charge that could put him in the county blues for at least 3 and a half years if found guilty.

Burress snagged 344 passes with the Giants which puts him 12th on the franchise's career list, 1 catch ahead of Earnest Gray and 3 behind Aaron Thomas. Burress had 3,681 receiving yards and caught 33 touchdown passes for the Giants. There is no question about his on field talent, it`s just his off the field woes that is killing his career and his reputation.

The Denver Broncos and quarterback Jay Cutler, finally divorced yesterday from each other after a rocky marriage. The gun-slinging quarterback from Vanderbilt, was traded to the Chicago Bears for quarterback Kyle Orton, two first round draft choices, and another third round pick. The Broncos also had to give back a fifth round pick in the draft along with Orton.

Cutler had asked to be traded when he found out Denver rookie coach Josh McDaniels tried to sign quarterback Matt Cassel in a trade with the New England Patriots. If you ask me, Cutler should suck it up and quit sulking. You can not have that in the locker room, let alone trying to win a game as a team on the gridiron.

Last season, Cutler threw for a Denver record 4,526 yards, 25 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. In his 37-game career in Denver, he completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 9,024 yards, 54 touchdowns and 37 interceptions. Unreal stats, but is he worth the baggage? Only time will tell, and hopefully not at Chicago`s expense.

Just days after being released by the Dallas Cowboys, Terrell Owens and the Buffalo Bills reached an agreement on a one-year deal worth 6.5 million dollars. Owens who is now 35 years old, will team up opposite Lee Evans who has been an elite receiver for the Bills the past few years.

Owens recently stated that, "I must move on, and it's another beginning for me." He then added- "If I can be that extra added piece to get them to the playoffs, then that's what I'm here for. I looked at the defensive side of ball and offensive side of the ball, and these guys have all the pieces."

Owens caught 69 passes for 1,052 yards and 10 touchdowns last season with the Cowboys. He is a 6 time Pro Bowler and is among the NFL's career leaders in catches, yards and touchdowns. In last 3 years, his 38 touchdowns are 1 more than New England`s Randy Moss. It has never been about his physical ability and skills, but his intense locker room and on field issues that shy teams away from keeping him.
