Niles injury history still exists but his stats prove he is quite an effective touchdown scoring machine with 11 TD's as a rookie in both rushing and receiving.



CB Xavier Limon[78 OVR] of Arizona Cardinals won the NFC Defensive Rookie of the Year award after an excellent season in which he had 43 tackles and 7 INT's with 1 returned for a TD.The addition of Limon to Peterson, Rhodes and Wilson gives Arizona arguably the best secondary in the NFL.

***2014 OFFSEASON ***

**2014 PLAYER AND COACH RETIREMENTS***

HC Bill Belichick [Chad Master ] finally retires from football after compiling 199 Career Wins including 3 SB championships. He is definitely a Hall of Famer and will be missed in the league.



After 16 Seasons and compiling 1263 receptions, 14,505 yards and 100 TD's, TE Tony Gonzalez have decided to call it a career.Gonzalez is one of the pioneers who revolutionized the TE position in the NFL and now TE are a major offensive weapons in the passing game. Tony Goonzalez is walking straight into the Hall of Fame.



DT Casey Hampton also retires after 13 NFL seasons. Casey was one of the NFL's best pure Nose Tackles in the 3-4 defense.



MLB London Fletcher of Washington Redskins have also decided to call it quits after 16 seasons in the league. Fletcher was one of the NFL's hardest working players and a great leader. He will be in the Hall of Fame one day.



FS Ed Reed of Baltimore Ravens have also decided to hang up no. 20 after 12 years in the NFL. Ed Reed was one of the best safeties or defensive back to have played the game. He tallied 766 tackles, 6 sacks and 62 INT's. His intelligence on the football field was second to none as he was the best at intercepting the ball and scoring with it as illustrated by his 7 INT returned for TD's.

**2014 COACHING CAROUSEL**

There were quite few changes in the coaching carousel with some coaches being fired and some leaving for other jobs. Here is the breakdown of the coaching carousel:

The Fired Coaches:



HC Pete Carroll of the Seattle Seahawks was fired!! after a terrible season.



HC Mike Shanahan of Washington Redskins was also fired after poor results.



Legendary HC Brian Billick who came back from retirement last season is hired as the new HC for the New England Patriots. This is great pick up for that patriots.



Former Baltimore Ravens HC John Harbaugh have decided to leave the Ravens and joins the Washington Redskins to continue his career. Harbaugh left after the successive retirements of Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and feels he was unappreciated so went with the Redskins after Owner Dan Snyder gave him a $40.M contract making the highest paid coach in league history.



Chan Gailey, formerly HC of Buffalo Bills takes over the Seattle Seahawks after choosing not to renew his contract with the Bills. He feels a different environement will give him better success ( errm good luck with that..welcome to the NFC West.. where Arizona Cardinals Defense eats QB's for lunch!!!! ).

Pete Carroll did not become unemployed for long and agreed to terms with Baltimore Ravens to become their new HC ( Is Baltimore insane!!! )

Next Update: Special Announcement

[StillBallin]

Coolest name ever. Chad Masters lol

[MikeTomlin10]

***HE IS BACK!!!!!!***

Future Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner has decided to come out of retirement like Brett Favre did a few years back. Warner said he missed the game and feels he can still play. The league is happy to see Kurt back to play again. Warner also said the urge to win one more Superbowl as the main reason he is back in the game as he feels his legacy is not complete without another Superbowl ring.

Arizona Cardinals GM Rod Graves has announced that they will re-evaluate the team and add Kurt Warner if need be since they feel they are an elite QB and LT away from winning a Superbowl.

[MikeTomlin10]

*2014 FREE AGENT SIGNINGS*

* WR Chad Ochocinco retired at the end of 2012 season and is now back in the league. Chad retired prematurely and still feels that he can play at a decent level.

QB Kurt Warner agreed to a 3-year $37.5M deal to compete for the starting QB job of the Arizona Cardinals. GM Rod Graves could not resist signing this future Hall of Fame QB to the Cardinals roster. Graves believes the offense is in a position to become elite once again like 2008 Cardinals and with weapons like Larry Fitz, Floyd, Housler and Williams, The Flying Cards are ready to shock the league once more. They just need to address that LT position.

QB Donovan Mcnabb,formerly of the Washing Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles finally has a job as he signed with the Tennessee Titans who still do not believe in Jake Locker as their starting QB yet.




Indianapolis Colts bolstered their WR corps by signing veteran wide out Anquan Boldin. This is a solid signing for the colts and good target for Andrew Luck but they still need to draft Luck his number 1 target for him to grow with.



Minnesota Vikings added WR/KR Devin Hester to their team. This is a solid addition since Hester is still one of the most dangerous returners in the game.
