Veteran Running Backs

According to the National Football League Players Association, the average NFL career lasts only 3.3 years. Whether that is because of injury, skill level, or desire to play, the bottom line is that NFL players have the shortest average career length of any of the four major professional sports. While quarterbacks tend to rank among the longer lasting, the average also includes kickers and punters, which somewhat skews the number.

Position Battles for the Defending Super Bowl Champion

All the coverage on positional battles this offseason seems to revolve around the quarterback position – will it be Sanchez or Smith in New York, will Matt Flynn hold onto the starting job in Oakland, is EJ Manuel ready for prime time. But it turns out other positions also have battles – I know, I'm as shocked as you are. It's not always the teams at the bottom of the standings, either – even good teams are struggling in OTAs, trying to figure out who will replace key starters at key positions.

The Oakland Raiders Quarterback Controversy

The Jets aren't the only team locked in a quarterback controversy this offseason. But while they're dealing with trying to decide between a disappointing known quantity and some new hope for the future, the Oakland Raiders find themselves with three giant question marks, trying to figure out which unproven player will fit best in their offense in 2013.

Breaking Down the New York Jets' Quarterback Mess

Mark Sanchez has not had the best offseason. When teammates are coming out of the woodwork to say that, while you're still a good guy and all that, "there's a general feeling among some of the players that maybe it's time to give someone else a chance,"well, that's not a good thing. When your team goes out in the draft and takes the top-rated player at your position, it may be time to start hitting the classified ads. And, when, with all the media around you, you are picked off three times in eleven throws in OTAs, you're going to find yourself in trouble.

The Dwight Freeney Story

It had to happen. The San Diego Chargers saw outside linebacker Melvin Ingram tear his left ACL in OTAs, and be set to miss essentially the entire 2013 season. Now, this isn't the biggest blow in history, as he only scored one sack in his entire rookie season, but Ingram is a good player with a bunch of athleticism to spare, so his loss is going to hurt. Making it worse was the player behind him – Larry English, the 2009 draft bust, was penciled in as the backup after Shaun Phillips left for Denver. The Chargers had no depth, so they had to make a move.

The Washington Redskins Reignite Their Name Controversy

Dan Snyder sure knows how to handle awkward situations, doesn't he?
