Whitehurst, a restricted free agent, was coveted by the Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals. However, the Cardinals agreed to terms with former Cleveland Browns starter Derek Anderson on Wednesday.Whitehurst was extended a third-round tender by the Chargers, and that would be their compensation if they choose not to match the Seahawks’ offer sheet. The Seahawks don’t have a third-round pick in this April’s draft, however,
Super Bowl Jerseys, and thus will deal their third-rounder from the 2011 draft.Whisenhunt, a four-year pro, has appeared in just two NFL regular-season games and hasn’t thrown a pass. He likely would be Matt Hasselbeck’s backup after the Seahawks traded former No. 2 quarterback Seneca Wallace to the Browns last week.The Carolina Panthers will have at least one starting defensive lineman returning next season after agreeing on a three-year deal with defensive end Tyler Brayton.Agent Tom Mills said Wednesday that Brayton visited the Seattle Seahawks and had conversations with the Oakland Raiders and
Cheap Jerseys Jacksonville Jaguars, but he’s happy to return to the Carolina Panthers.Brayton signed a two-year contract with the Panthers before the start of the 2008 season and has started 31 games over the past two years. He was eighth on the team with 45 tackles last season and had five sacks.Brayton likely will be paired with much younger players next season. The Panthers let defensive end Julius Peppers leave for the Chicago Bears in free agency and cut starting tackle Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu.The Broncos reportedly pursued Quinn last season when they were trying to replace Jay Cutler.Instead, they dealt Cutler to Chicago for a bevy of draft picks and Orton, who beat out Chris Simms for the starting job in June.The Broncos have insisted they’re happy with Orton, a workmanlike leader who wasn’t allowed to throw downfield much last season, when he led the Broncos to a 6-2 start before a 2-6 finish kept them out of the playoffs for a fourth straight season.That’s the longest drought in the 26 years Pat Bowlen has owned the team. Bowlen recently said he likes Orton as his quarterback but would like to see the Broncos draft a passer next month.Those plans may now be on hold.Crosby, Penguins ready for anything in BostonSidney Crosby isn’t sure if he’ll have to watch his back, keep his head on a swivel or not worry at all about retribution when the Penguins head into Boston for Thursday’s much-publicized game against the bitter Bruins.Crosby, though, has an idea of how the ,
NFL Jerseys Bruins will react potentially to him — and definitely to Matt Cooke, whose blindside hit on Boston center Marc Savard two Sundays ago left Savard concussed and effectively ended his season.The on-ice officials did not issue Cooke a penalty for the hit, but the Penguins’ forward and that play has been the talk of the hockey world ever since. The Bruins didn’t go after him then, but everyone expects them to do something Thursday night.“We all expect that, and it’s not a bad thing, especially at this time of the year,&rdquo,
Cheap NFL Jerseys; Crosby said after Pittsburgh’s 5-2 loss at New Jersey on Wednesday. “You’re playing some intense hockey, and this is probably another notch as far as that’s concerned. We know that and we expect that, but we&rsquo,
Ugg boots Store;re going in there to win.”The Bruins, who are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, did not practice Wednesday so they did not have a media availability to talk about the upcoming showdown against Pittsburgh.
