Bears
- Falcons WR Devin Hester mentioned that the Bears did not offer me a contract at all during the offseason.
“Chicago didn’t offer me anything,” Hester said, via Michael C. Wright. “They didn’t offer me [a] contract. They didn’t call me period, pretty much. I didn’t hear from Chicago. They didn’t say they were going to re-sign me. All I know is they were just going in a different direction.”

Buccaneers

โDoug has done some good things,โโ Smith added. โWhen youโre the starting tailback, you know what goes along with that. Weโd like Doug to get 200 yards every game, but weโre not there yet. But in time, heโll break out.โโ
Jets
- Backup QBย Michael Vick admitted that he wasn’t fully prepared to play in last weekend’s game against the Chargers.
โMaybe I didnโt prepare or I wasnโt prepared, but Iโll tell you what, it wonโt happen again,โ Vick said, via Brian Costello.ย โ…I learned a lesson last week: always stay ready, always be prepared,โ Vick said. โThat left a bitter taste in my mouth that I wasnโt able to go out and put points on the board or even help this team in any fashion. So this week has been a different work week from me [and] throughout the rest of the year, itโs going to be totally different for me as far as my preparation.โ
