Steelers could pick DT Booger McFarland
5/12/2008 2:24:12 PM MST
Veteran free agent defensive lineman Anthony "Booger" McFarland is probably looking pretty good to the Steelers right now. Signing McFarland would allow the Steelers to save face. The Steelers needed to improve their defensive line depth. They didn't, unless you count signing three undrafted free agents as tackling the problem head-on. The Steelers should be first in line for his private workout June 4 in Tampa, Fla.

Rams Jackson expecting big pay day
5/12/2008 1:23:27 PM MST
Steven Jackson is entering the final season of the original five-year, $7 million deal he signed in July 2004 after the Rams made him their first-round draft choice (No. 24 overall) that year. His next deal, whether it's here or elsewhere, will be far more lucrative. "I think I've been a good person on and off the field," Jackson said Saturday at minicamp, "so I expect to be rewarded." Jackson said his agent, Gary Uberstine, and the Rams' front office have yet to begin extension talks.

He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in consecutive years during practice. He last played in 2005.
