So I had it right about Cromartie, I had the wrong one, but the Jets signed a Cromartie.

The usually reserved Hunter apparently got rubbed the wrong way this week and claimed that MLB is trying to pass off Latino players as African American.

What's the Latest
Tomlinson Visits the Vikings....
LT's playing days in San Diego may be over, but it sure looks like the former NFL MVP is not finished just yet. On Wednesday LT visited with the Viking's officials and from recent reports it sounds like there is a good chance Tomlinson could be sharing duties in the backfield with Adrian Peterson.
At 30 years of age LT's best playing days may be behind him, but in a backup role in Minnesota he could be a nice fit. Peterson would likely handle the brunt of the ground game, but LT could give the Vikings the versatility of a pass receiver out of the backfield, much in the same way as Chester Taylor (Bears). Tomlinson would also add invaluable leadership to a team that was knocking on the doorsteps of a Super Bowl appearance just a few short months ago.
Tomlinson had over 500 career receptions and 3,900 yards receiving as a Charger. Now behind one of the league's better run blocking lines he may not rise to fantasy prominence in 2010, but could easily contribute and offer some value as a backup running back in most leagues (PPR leagues in particular).
LT's numbers;
2,880 carries
12,490 yards rushing
138 rushing touchdowns
530 receptions
3,955 yards receiving
15 receiving touchdowns
Last season LT recorded his lowest numbers in receptions (20), receiving yards (154), rushing attempts (223), and rushing yards (730). As a Viking he could easily match and surpass most of those numbers (especially the receiving numbers).
A deal has not been reached as of Wednesday evenings, but there are a lot of signs indicating LT is not likely to leave Minnesota without getting one done.

Don't look now but Kansas City is putting together a nice little offense for new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. They signed former Jet Thomas Jones to a two year deal worth $5 million in a move that solidifies their backfield. After being a flat out stud in New York last year racking up 1400 yards and 14 touchdowns, he'll take some of the workload off of Jamaal Charles who was also a thousand yard back last year. With the strengthening of the running game, it puts less pressure on Matt Cassel and company and allows the Chiefs to possible target another receiver in the draft to complement Chambers and Bowe.

The Oakland Raiders have cut ties with wide receiver Javon Walker, defensive end Greg Ellis and running back Justin Fargas. Walker was a major bust from the second he walked in the door two years ago. He originally signed a $55 million deal but ended up collecting only $14 million of that which according to my math is $933,333 per catch...seems about right for an Al Davis receiver. The sad part of this is that as bad as Oakland's receivers were, he still couldn't make it into the starting lineup.

In an attempt to win ANOTHER Comeback Player of the Year award, Chad Pennington has signed a one year deal with Miami. Chad Henne should open the season as the starter but after Miami ran though their entire roster of quarterbacks last season because of injuries, it's only a matter of time before Chad is back under center.
