Football Betting Lines
09/05/2010 -
Florham Park, NJ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Jets have released
veteran fullback Tony Richardson.
He had re-signed with the team in March after blocking last season for the
NFL's top rushing offense, which was led by veteran Thomas Jones and rookie
Shonn Greene.
Used almost exclusively as a blocker, Richardson had just 17 rushing attempts
in his two seasons with the Jets. The three-time Pro Bowl selection previously
played two seasons for Minnesota following a long-term assignment clearing
paths for Kansas City backs.
Richardson broke into the league with the Chiefs in 1995 and had the most
prolific season of his career with them in 2000, when he carried 147 times for
697 yards and caught 58 passes for 468 yards, career-highs in each category.
During his 15 seasons, the Auburn product has toted 424 times for 1,714 yards
and 15 touchdowns, and hauled in 205 passes for 1,512 yards and nine scores.
The Jets also released wide receiver David Clowney and running back Chauncey
Washington on Sunday while claiming offensive lineman Patrick Brown, defensive
lineman Marcus Dixon and wide receiver Patrick Turner, who played with
quarterback Mark Sanchez at USC, on waivers.

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
