Raiders Release Stanford Routt
The Oakland Raiders announced they have released cornerback Stanford Routt. Routt signed a 3-year, $31.5 million extension last February which was restructured into a 5-year, $54 million deal in September for cap reasons. I thought Routt was clearly the Raiders' best corner last season, and do not really understand the move at all.

Top 50 Free Agents
Pete Prisco, who's one of those writers who actually watches games, put together a list of the top 50 free agents that I think is pretty sensible. Pro tip: if you're putting a list like this together and Brandon Carr isn't towards the top, you probably need to revise your list.

Ricky Williams to Retire?
Ricky Williams has reportedly told the Ravens he plans to retire. He was under contract for 2012 and had previously indicated he planned to play next season, but apparently changed his mind. This is not, of course, Ricky's first retirement, as he first walked away from the game after back-to-back seasons with at least 380 carries in 2002 and 2003 before returning. We'll see if this one sticks. Here's what he had to say on Twitter after the news broke:

Hall of Fame Class of 2012 Announced
Here is your Class of 2012: Jack Butler, Dermontti Dawson, Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Curtis Martin and Willie Roaf.
I'm very excited about Dawson and Roaf. The Hall needs more offensive linemen. I voted for Roaf as a write-in candidate for the NFL's "100 Greatest Players of All Time" last year.
I'm stunned that Bill Parcells did not make it in. Stunned. We can stop with the "Tom Coughlin for Hall of Fame" talk right now because until Bill Parcells goes in there's no point in talking about any other coach as a HOF candidate except Bill Belichick.

Pro Bowl is Missing a Skills Competition
How would you fix the Pro Bowl? Would you even want it to be played in the first place? A skills competition doesn't seem like it'd add much, but it would at least be something different to watch.
