• Charles Woodson's a pretty darn good cornerback, in case you didn't know. But he's apparently a better teammate, because he recently said that he'd be willing to switch to safety if the Packers could land Nnamdi Asomugha (and it was the best thing for the team). Woodson's already got his title and his Heisman and his NFL DPOY, but apparently none of that matters if he can keep doing what he needs to do in order to help his team win. Pretty awesome, really.

• The NFL has agreed to unseal some documents in the media fees case after the NFLPA requested it. They didn't unseal all of the documents requested by the NFLPA, however. That's cool, though, because, you know, negotiations are about compromise. AHEM.

• The Cardinals won't be able to franchise Larry Fitzgerald in 2012, per Steve Wyche, which could mean trouble if they don't go ahead and lock him down with an extension.

• Here's a fun little debate: is Brian Urlacher a Hall of Famer?

• Sergio Kindle is hoping to get cleared for contact in the near future.

• Former Panthers running back coach John Skipper is now headed to the Titans. 

• The Packers are raising ticket prices by $2-$4 per game next year, though it's not supposed to mess with their sellout streak. They are the defending world champs after all.

• The Steelers might consider using their transition tag on Ike Taylor, who would probably fetch a pretty penny on the open market. And who's departure would be not good for a Steelers' secondary that struggled a lot last year.

• Not NFL-related, but I wish that someone would make more sandwiches for football players. I love sports-related sandwiches. This Carmelo Anthony one just makes no sense, unless it's symbolizing the level of annoyance with 'Melo by the time he was finally traded.

• Brandon Jackson of the Packers has flipped from Gary Wichard -- suspended! -- to Drew Rosenhaus as his agent. Thrilling, I know.

The Buffalo Bills have decided defensive lineman Marcus Stroud isn’t worth his price tag. The team released the veteran on Wednesday, saving the $4.5 million that Stroud was due in 2011.

Stroud spent three years playing for what was one of the most atrocious run defenses in football.

The former Jaguars Pro Bowler managed just 7.5 sacks in 46 games as a Bill. Stroud struggled at times to get off blocks against the run and did not seem to acclimate well to the team’s 3-4 scheme.

• Our pal Dan Shanoff has put together an "Anatomy of a Rumor" piece on Brett Favre possibly appearing on "Dancing with the Stars." This is the most we'll write about it, because it's not happening, but Shanoff's piece absolutely deserves a read.

• Mike Mayock, my favorite non-CBSSports.com draft analyst, has some good words of caution for those falling in love with Cam Newton: "the best pro day I ever attended for a quarterback was JaMarcus Russell."

• This is somewhat un-NFL-related, but it's still a great listen, as Jonah Keri invites Richard Deitsch onto the "Jonah Keri Podcast" to talk about sports media, Twitter and the (at some point) Super Bowl. Now I just sit back and wait for my invite, Mr. Keri. Ahem.

• Mark Sanchez led the NFL in dropped interceptions with 15 (!!!). For those of you wanting to crown his butt.

• Go read our own Mike Freeman's column on the lockout. No, seriously, go. NOW.

• The Cardinals appear unlikely to actually use their franchise tag this season.

• Is Michael Oher the first author ever to include the title of the movie made about the book about his life in the title of the book about his life?

• Could some former Panthers end up following John Fox to Denver?

• Wes Welker appeared in a Vitamin Water ad congratulating Ray Allen for his all-time three-point record and he somehow managed to squeeze a Rex Ryan foot joke in his shoutout. So awesome.

• NFL.com writer Vic Carucci mentions that Chan Gailey likes Cam Newton "a great deal." Please let him go No. 3 overall. Please.
