Green Bay Packers' Linebacking Corps May Get Less Hairy

Clay Matthews may soon be without his long-haired partner in crime.

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel recently reported that A.J. Hawk will be cut by the Green Bay Packers if they can't restructure his contract. He is due to make $10 million in 2011 (if, of course, there is a 2011 season).

Hawk was 22nd in the NFL with 111 combined tackles in his contribution to the Packers' fifth-ranked NFL defense.

Cam Newton at the Scouting Combine

NFL Network's Mike Mayock uttered the average quarterback's broad-jump at least three times -- 9'5".

Cam Newton's broad jump -- 10'6". That is tied for third among quarterbacks at the Combine since 2000.

His two unofficial 40-yard dash times were 4.58 and 4.59. Not bad for a 248-pound quarterback.

In Other NFL News...

NFL players, due to the recent labor dispute, cannot be traded or signed as free agents.

If they could, Jeremy Shockey would probably be signed by the Miami Dolphins. The former University of Miami tight end recently said it would be a dream to play for the Dolphins.

For now, though, all we can do is speculate.
