NFL NEWS AND NOTES

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel speculates that if the Chiefs were interested in moving quarterback Trent Green, the Dolphins would be a potential suitor. This report could have been prompted by a report in the Kansas City Star citing team sources that the club has been open to talking trade involving Green. The veteran QB is scheduled to make over $7 million in 2007, and the club is expected to ask him to restructure is contract so that it is more cap-friendly. With backup QB Damon Huard signing a new deal this week (with nearly $3 million guaranteed), there is a notion that Green doesn't have the starting job locked up in Kansas City......

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that a source has confirmed that the Packers have inquired about trading for WR Randy Moss from Oakland, but are wary of bringing him on board for a number of reasons. The Packers would want Moss to restructure his current deal, making him more appealing salary-cap wise. Moreover, the paper cites several NFL sources who describe Moss as a declining, one-dimensional target whose best days are behind him. Speculation is that Moss can be had with a second-round pick, though teams may try to lowball the Raiders knowing that they want to move Moss.....

The Florida Times-Union has an interesting story on Byron Leftwich, who has been silent since being named the Jaguars' starting quarterback a week ago. Did the Jaguars name Leftwich the starter just so they could get the most for him in a trade? One rumor making the rounds is that Jacksonville will deal Leftwich to Oakland for disgruntled wide receiver Randy Moss.....

The New York Post reports that Giants PK Jay Feely has turned down an offer from the club and expects to hit the free-agent market as scheduled on March 2. "I'm definitely headed to free agency," the Giants kicker said. "There's no doubt in my mind. That doesn't mean I'm not going to be a Giant." The paper listed the Falcons, Cowboys, Dolphins and Chiefs as potential suitors.....


The New York Daily News reports that the Jets are expected to trade or release backup QB Patrick Ramsey before the start of free agency. Ramsey was acquired last offseason to provide competition for the starting QB spot, which was won by Chad Pennington. Pennington has already been named the starter for 2007, with Kellen Clemens backing him up.....

Calling no player "untouchable," Bills coach Dick Jauron said the team would consider trade offers for RB Willis McGahee. "It's in our best interest to listen to everybody, and no people are untouchable," Jauron said. "He's a good back. He's our starting running back right now. It's no surprise to me at all that people are interested." Asked specifically if McGahee is on the trading block, Jauron said: "Well, people talk. People talk in the league all the time." McGahee has one year left on his current deal; the New York Giants have publicly expressed an interest in acquiring McGahee.....

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that the Cowboys are expected to release backup QB Drew Bledsoe, a move that will save them over $5 million against the salary cap. He is due a $1 million roster bonus on March 2. Bledsoe started 2006 as the team's starter but was pulled in Week 7, not to return. He finished with 90-of-169 passing for 1,164 yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions with a lost fumble. He did add two rushing touchdowns and 28 rush yards.....

The New York Daily News reports that Giants DE Michael Strahan wants to meet with GM Jerry Reese to discuss his future with the club. Strahan has two years left on his current contract but wants to know how the club feels about him in the long term. He's also expected to ask for more money, which the club isn't likely to do considering he's missed 15 games over the last three seasons, including seven in 2006 with a Lisfranc foot injury.
