Seahawks sign OT Winston (The SportsXchange)
( today )

Eric Winston signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks, who envision the eight-year veteran at right tackle. Winston has never missed a game -- 112 total with Houston (2007-2011), Kansas City (2012) and Arizona (2013) -- and said he's in the best shape of his career after offseason workout sessions with Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson. A peek at the September schedule might have motivated head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider to seek a veteran edge blocker. Before a Week 4 bye, the Seahawks will see Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers of the Green Bay Packers, and Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware of the Denver Broncos (Week 3) with a trip to San Diego (Dwight Freeney, Melvin Ingram, Jarret Johnson) in between. |

Peppers adjusts to 3-4 defense with Packers (Yahoo Sports)

Standing a sturdy 6-foot-7, Packers pass rusher Julius Peppers poses an imposing sight to opposing linemen even without pads. Good thing Green Bay's front five only has to go up against Peppers in practice now. The eight-time Pro Bowler is spending his first training camp in Titletown after joining the Packers as a free agent in the offseason following four seasons with the division rival Chicago Bears. The lure of playing in a 3-4 defense that also features linebacker Clay Matthews helped lure Peppers north to Green Bay.

Bridgewater, Cassel splitting reps at quarterback for Minnesota Vikings (Shutdown Corner)
( yesterday )

Brian Hoyer might be fending off Johnny Manziel in Cleveland, but another rookie quarterback is getting a fairly good chance to win a starting job early in his first season.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reports that Teddy Bridgewater and Matt Cassel are getting equal run at the Minnesota Vikings' starting job.
Leaving Vikings for Green Bay. Hugeeee optimism here for Bridgewaters future. He and Cassel pretty much ... http://t.co/TeQk4qCnU2 — Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) July 27, 2014
And in case you did not click on the link, Glazer said (cont'd): "... splitting reps. May not be Week 1 starter but he's definitely been more impressive than they expected."

The last part is interesting. It almost makes it sound like the Vikings didn't have really high expectations in Year 1 or that they felt he wasn't a perfect immediate fit in Norv Turner's offense.
Clearly, this is good news for the Vikings, who now have options with the course of their season. (An aside: Poor Christian Ponder, who appears to be relegated to a Jimmy Clausen-like existence for the foreseeable future.)
It will be interesting to see how Turner and head coach Mike Zimmer handle things. Let's assume Cassel wins the job out of camp. The Vikings have a challenging start to their schedule with two of the first three and three of the first five games on the road. They open at the Rams, get the Patriots at home, then have road games at the Saints and Packers sandwiched around a home game vs. the Falcons, who some believe are due for a bounceback season.
That's one natural breaking point; if the Vikings struggle through that stretch, they could re-examine the situation and consider turning the ball over to Bridgewater with a slightly less daunting quartet of games — vs. Detroit Lions, at Buffalo Bills, at Tampa Bay Buccaneers, vs. Washington Redskins — before the Week 10 bye.
It would not shock us to see Bridgewater take over at either of those points, and it wouldn't hurt with four of the team's final six games landing at home. That's assuming, of course, that Bridgewater doesn't beat Cassel out of training camp.
