<description><![CDATA[ Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
Kyle Wilson provided all of the senior leadership for a very good Boise State team in 2009. Wilson has very few flaws in his game, and only his lack of elite measurables will push him into the latter stages of the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

<title>LeGarrette Blount, and the value of information</title>
<description><![CDATA[ It's a sad-but-true fact -- while accusations are printed in large type on the front page, corrections tend to fall below the fold. So it has been with Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount, who's been trying to move past the one resounding image most have of him -- as the guy who sucker-punched Boise State defensive end Byron Hout after a 19-8 loss in September.  ]]></description>

Among its client list are Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt, David Letterman, Derek Jeter, and--ironically--Tony Hawk, the face of Activision's long-running skating game series.

<title>Baker drawing interest around the league</title>
<description><![CDATA[ It was a surprise when the Patriots cut tight end Chris Baker on Thursday, and even with 48 hours of hindsight, its still a bit of a headscratcher.

The 30-year-old Baker received a five-year deal before the start of the 2009 season, was dutiful in his attempts to try and pick up the New England offense (I witnessed him staying after practice during training camp on at least two occasions to work with Tom Brady) and was a positive presence in the locker room. You could argue that the numbers were not where the Patriots would have liked them to be (14 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns), but the tight ends were only a minimal part of the passing game this year.

<title>Dansby and More!!!</title>
<description><![CDATA[ All the talk about fiscal restraint in an uncapped year turned out to be a lot of hot air on the first day of the NFL's free-agency period.

The dollars were flying furiously yesterday as the Bears lavished defensive end Julius Peppers with $40 million in guaranteed money, the Dolphins made Karlos Dansby the league's third-highest-paid linebacker with $22 million guaranteed, and the Ravens prepared to reward wide receiver Anquan Boldin after landing him in a trade with the Cardinals.

<title>NFL free agency begins Friday without cap</title>
<description><![CDATA[ NEW YORK  The NFL has swallowed the poison pill. When the league and the players association reached a new collective bargaining agreement in 2006, a clause called for eliminating the salary cap in 2010. Both sides assumed an uncapped season would be so distasteful that a new contract would be finalized long before the cap disappeared.

Even when the owners opted out of the CBA in 2008, little thought was given to an actual removal of the salary cap that generally has been beneficial for both owners and players.
