Texans won’t practice against Saints in preseason
"Sean and I talked," Kubiak said Thursday at Reliant Stadium. "We would’ve loved to have practice against each other, but because it’s our third game, we both kind of prepare our teams the same way from a standpoint of using that as the regular season preparation game. We’ll stay away from each other from a practice standpoint, but I’m sure it’ll be a very good football game."

The Draft & Those Who Mock It
2013 NFL Draft: Ziggy Ansah, Dion Jordan are top pass rushers - NFL.com

Mocking with Todd McShay - NFC South Blog - ESPN
McShay has the New Orleans Saints taking Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree. That’s entirely possible. But I think Ogletree’s college teammate, linebacker Jarvis Jones, also could be a possibility for the Saints.

At No. 15, Kiper has the Saints taking Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones. He’d be a great fit in the 3-4 scheme. But I wonder if the Saints would take a defensive tackle if Lotulelei or Richardson is still available.

"It was a nice paid vacation to Florida," Ross told "NFL AM" on Friday morning when asked about last season, via Pro Football Talk. "I had to think about the family, setting us up long term, so of course the money comes to mind," Ross said. "But winning is everything, man.

Charles Woodson: I’m considered ancient, teams aren’t calling me | ProFootballTalk
"I’m 36, so of course I’m considered ancient in the game right now, and teams are looking for younger players and trying to make their rosters younger," Woodson said on NFL AM. "If you’re an older guy they kind of push you to the side, and they’ll maybe look at you much later on down the road, when I guess they figure they can get you much cheaper."
