1. Tony Gonzalez: Over the past several years we have all been waiting for the king to fall off of his thrown. Every year we pick out a successor to the crown, and every year we are proven wrong. Tony Gonzalez is the greatest tight end the sport has ever seen. Last years season solidified that. His consistency is remarkable, and his sportsmanship well respected. But when you hear the name “Gonzo” you immediately think “Kansas City Chiefs”. But this year that all could change. Gonzalez's name has been mentioned in possible trade rumors, but nothing has come to surface. A lot alterations have occured in the organization since the pro-bowler was entertaining the thought of playing for another team. Scott Pioli is the best personnel man in the business, and his impact is already apparent. The robbery of Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel for the 34th pick is still hard... read more

The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Terrell Owens to a one year deal worth 6.5 million dollars. I can honestly say I didn't see this one coming. The Bills are in need of a playmaker on offense and T.O. could be the answer. Owens, 35 was released by Dallas on Thursday after a year in which he single handily ruined the Cowboys locker room. He joins a Buffalo team that came flying out of the gate last year to to win five of its first six games only to stumble and lose eight of their next ten. A number of factors contributed to the teams nose dive and lack of offensive production. With T.O. in the fold the Bills are banking that he can take pressure off the running game and open up the aerial attack. FANTASY IMPACT: Fantasy Brothers sleeper Trent Edwards was never able to regain his first half form... read more

There has been a great deal of movement this offseason and as a fantasy owner it's important to keep up so you are not drafting Derrick Ward as a handcuff to Brandon Jacobs, only to learn he is part of a RBBC in Tampa. Here at Fantasybrothers.com we will keep you up to date on all the important league movements. Terrell Owens-Free Agent Owens was recently released by the Cowboys in a move that should improve team chemistry. While no team has come to the forefront in signing Owens for his services, he will be in high demand, as he still has 2 to 3 years left of solid productivity. There is nothing more dangerous than a T.O. who is playing with a "chip" on his shoulder, we will keep you updated. Laveranues Coles-Cincinnati Bengals Coles will step into the space recently vacated by T.J. Houshmandzadeh as he signed a four year, $28 million... read more
The Terrell Owens saga in Dallas is over! Last night the Dallas Cowboys released the all pro wide receiver. Owens has undeniable talent, but also has a reputation for being a loud mouth and a locker room cancer. Over his twelve year career he has been able to divide three NFL locker rooms and single handily has destroyed team chemistry. Jeff Garcia and Donovan F. McNabb are able to sleep at night and now Tony Romo will too. The drama surrounding a talented Cowboys team the last couple of years can be directly related to this brash wide receiver. In the middle of the teams playoff run, T.O. accused Romo and pro-bowl TE Jason Witten of running their own plays. What followed was an Owens led revolt in the locker room that was able to turn Americas team into Americas soap opera. Owens will catch on with another team and probably have... read more

Coming into the league Brandon Marshall drew flattering comparisons to NFL superstar Terrell Owens. Talent and stature were the original characteristics that spawned correlations between the two undeniably gifted wideouts. But as time has passed, we've seen that they have even more in common than originally thought: BIG mouths, with an unavoidable attraction for trouble. The Wide Receiver position is a pre-madonna factory - producing some of the biggest egos the sport has ever seen. Marshall and Owens are in good company - Michael Irvin,"Ocho-Cinco" and Plaxico "Cheddar Bob" Burress are all members of this narcissistic fraternity. Heck, now a days - even Marvin Harrison is up for gun charges. Unfortunately for these outlaws there is a thing called the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy. There is a new sheriff in town - Roger Goodell, and he is taking no Sh*t. The NFL is not the NBA or the MLB -... read more
