October is for … football?

Nadia, I can’t leave KC alone without mention of the hottest asset of their team, October Gonzalez. Kelli Croyle has nothing on Gonzo’s “commitment partner”.

Props to HBO’s Hard Knocks show for the screenshot. Also to DHADM for a recap and video.

NFL Cheer (Part 3 of 32)

Been gone, but we’re back. With the Chiefs. These girls need to sue their team photographer. Seriously.
NFL Cheerleader 3 of 32, here she is, Kansas City’s own Catherine.

Homegirl did good in this picture, but Peyton Manning called, and he wants his forehead back.
Still, I can’t hate KC: Brodie Croyle’s wife is there now.

Javon Walker’s Status

The highly productive and widely sought-after receiver turned injury question, was released on Friday by the Broncos. Since then his agent has been contacted by no less than 10 teams, per Michael Smith of ESPN.

No visits have been scheduled, and as of now Walker is in Arizona.

While several teams are interested, the NFC East appears to have the edge. The two leading candidates, according to the source, are the Cowboys and the Eagles, both of whom have connections with Walker. When Walker was released I had previously mentioned he had worked out a deal during the 2005 draft.

Walker’s connection to the Eagles, per Smith, is his friend Donovan McNabb. In one of McNabb’s recent media appearances on an ESPN Weekend radio Insider, he told listeners to “stay tuned” and that the Eagles were “just getting started.”

We’ll see what happens.

Javon Walker Released by Broncos

ESPNews broke the story, here’s a link to a post at Yardbarker.

Javon Walker would not only transition well to Philly’s system, he already had figures for a deal worked out in 2005 prior to his trade to Denver.

The question around the league has been the health of his knee. He recently had it scoped after having the ACL repaired.

Before releasing him, the Broncos tried to trade him. Health issues were the main concern of teams, especially after the Broncos aggressively shopped Al Wilson for trade last year only to find out when he got to the Giants facilities that he didn’t pass a physical.

Linebacker Ian Gold was also released.

Jerry Porter signs with the Jaguars, so does Miss Cleo

Adam Schefter basically has every scoop, right? I’m hating Cablevision right now.

The oft-disgruntled Raiders wide receiver now has a new home. Even though he will be 30 by the time the season starts, he’s going to be a huge contributor. Considering he basically took 2006 off, and hasn’t had to work exceptionally hard with Randy Moss and Ronald Curry on the other side, he’s definitely still got gas left in the tank. Not only has he had solid years with bad quarterbacks in Oakland, but with the Jaguars running game, he’ll get single-coverage on the outside.

When Dennis Northcutt, Reggie Williams, and Ernest Wilford can carry you deep into the playoffs, Jerry Porter is going to get you further.

The word on the deal is six years and $30 million.

Additional Jaguars news is that earlier today they signed former Dolphins QB, Cleo Lemon to backup David Garrard.

The AFC is on notice.

What does the Kennison release mean for the Chiefs WRs?

This is a thought that’s probably better understood after free agency starts, but with the release of Kennison and with Samie Parker becoming an unrestricted free agent, that pretty much means the 2nd WR on the Chiefs will be a 4th string from last year, or a free agent. Could Bryant Johnson land there? Would they be looking for more of a burner? Maybe Donte Stallworth? Maybe a rookie? Obviously it would be a second-round pick or later, because they have greater draft priorities for the first round. This is one area where I haven’t heard any rumors. Only the release of Kennison has been talked about. One thing is for sure: this is great news for Larry Johnson owners and worse news for Brodie Croyle fans. Click after the jump for Kennison video.
