I was in a similar situation you describe and I went out and bought an xbox and NFL2k5.
1. The Xbox version seems to be well supported with rosters and the NFL2k5 enhancement pack. Do a google search fopr it and you'll find it. Actually, it's linked below.
2. The ones at this site,
http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeekp5y/index.html I have found to be the best rosters, but the community rosters here seem to be popular as well.
3. The Finn editor allows you to edit game rosters, player attributes and such. It's a nice tool, though it doesn't allow one to see a player's overall rating when editing attributes, something that I find necessary when editing players on a large scale. Maybe it's in there and I'm just missing it, I don't know. As far as I know, Finns editor is only for xbox, not sure if there's one for the PS2.
4. Other good sites:

5. I don't know much about this supposed generic title, but it seems to be just a rumor at this time and not much else.
Good luck,
Pat
