As coveted as a Super Bowl ring is to nearly every athlete who puts on a football uniform, you'd think that once received a player would spend hours admiring the thing, pouring attention over every single detail. And that may be the case for about 70 members of the Pittsburgh Steelers, which includes players, coaches and front-office workers alike. But if it is, they aren't very observant.

It seems that the recent auctioning of two Super Bowl rings belonging to a front-office employee, whose estate is undergoing a bankruptcy sale, brought into light an error that has gone unnoticed by any of those 70 mentioned above. Read more...

One day after defensive end Jason Taylor was shipped to the Washington Redskins by the Miami Dolphins, tight end Jeremy Shockey has been traded by the New York Giants to the New Orleans Saints.

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reported that the Giants have agreed to send Shockey to the Saints for second- and fifth-round draft picks in 2009, which is believed to be what the Saints have been offering all along. Apparently the Giants came to the realization that no one was going to offer them more for the disgruntled tight end. And it's been obvious for a while now that the Giants did not want to go into the season with him still on the roster. Read more...

The Washington Redskins have been uncharacteristically quiet during the offseason, but circumstances Sunday forced them into a situation in which they were desperate for a defensive end, and the Miami Dolphins just so happened to have one on the trading block. With both veteran Phillip Daniels and second-year player Alex Buzbee lost for the season to injury during the first day of training camp, it looks like former Defensive Player of the Year Jason Taylor is on his way to the nation's capital.

FOXSports' Jay Glazer reports the Dolphins have agreed to send the defensive lineman to Washington in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft and a sixth-rounder in 2010.

Assuming the deal goes through, this is a win-win-win situation for all parties involved. Taylor gets to play for a team that has reasonable playoff expectations. Miami gets a couple draft picks for an aging veteran who didn't really want to be there. And the Redskins didn't overpay (How's that for an uncharacteristic move by Daniel Snyder?) for the pass-rushing threat from the outside they so desperately need.

The Kansas City Chiefs struggled through the 2007 season, limping to a 4-12 finish. And although the team added a lot of young talent through the draft, things don't appear a whole lot better for the immediate future. There are still concerns with the offensive line, the running game, and nobody really knows if Brodie Croyle is the answer at quarterback.

Take a look at the team's best and worst offseason moves, what they need to do to succeed this year, and where we think they will finish. Read more...
