DJ Williams
The Broncos could move
D.J. Williams to the middle if Wilson is traded.
Williams has played his entire career at outside
linebacker, but he shined in his chance to play middle
linebacker two seasons ago. Wilson sat out the 2005
season finale at San Diego, and Williams played middle
linebacker when the Broncos used five defensive backs
in a nickel alignment.
Williams played well in that game, but because Wilson
and Ian Gold were the linebackers in the nickel defense
last season, Williams often came off the field for a
fifth defensive back in passing situations.
The Broncos also have Nate Webster, who can play all
three linebacker positions, as a backup.

William
Joseph
There was an interesting
appearance however at the Giants offseason workouts.
One of the less publicized "Miamites," William Joseph,
did show up for conditioning. Perhaps realizing he's on
his last legs with the team, is reaching out for that
one final chance before he gets that big ugly axe.

re-signed veteran cornerback Duane Starks, who was an
unrestricted free agent. He joined the Raiders last

and in a reserve role on defense.

Brock Berlin
The Cowboys worked out
quarterback Brock Berlin, offensive lineman Jim
Molinaro and wide receiver Jamel Richardson on Tuesday.
They did sign Molinaro, considered to be no more than a
depth guy at tackle or guard.
Berlin, the former University of Miami and Florida
quarterback, failed in his two training camp attempts
the past two summers to make a Miami Dolphins roster.
He's probably being measured against Matt Baker, the
rookie quarterback on the Cowboys' practice squad last
year.

McGahee
OWINGS MILLS —
Baltimore Ravens running back Willis McGahee, recently
acquired in a trade with the Buffalo Bills, will wear
the No. 23 this fall.
The Ravens traded a
third-round draft pick, No. 92 overall, and a
seventh-round pick in this year’s draft along
with next year’s third-round selection in
exchange for the former University of Miami star. The
Ravens signed McGahee to a contract with a maximum
value of $40.12 million.

Mike Rumph
The Rams added some depth
to its defensive unit with the signings of free agent
linebacker Chris Draft and cornerback Mike Rumph late
Monday night.
Rumph was a first-round pick by the 49ers in 2002 but
has yet to live up to the hype. He started 19 games for
San Francisco in four seasons before being traded to
the Redskins last year for wide receiver Taylor Jacobs.
Rumph has been labeled as "soft" and "uninterested" but
the Rams hope he will be able to shed those labels and
help in their secondary.

Jeremy
Shockey
Giants tight end Jeremy
Shockey and wide receiver Plaxico Burress did not show
up at Giants Stadium as the team kicked off its
voluntary offseason strength and conditioning program
today.
That's nothing new. Shockey and Burress have opted to
do their offseason work on their own in Miami the past
couple of years, which has irked quarterback Eli
Manning. Manning said as the Giants broke up last year
that he would make it a point of getting in some
quality throwing with his two main receiving options,
whether that meant heading south or having the two come
north for a while.
Defensive tackle William Joseph, another player who
spent most of the offseason in Miami with Shockey and
Burress, did show up for the program's opening.

Carolina - Greg Olsen, TE, Miami (Fla.):
Several months ago, I had
Olsen going to the Bears near the end of the first
round. After a sensational effort at the combine
workout, he's soared up the draft board to the point
that Carolina and Green Bay have to be interested. The
Panthers need a TE of Olsen's caliber.
18.
Cincinnati - Jon Beason, LB, Miami (Fla.):
Beason didn't run as well
as expected (4.74) at the combine workout, but his film
evaluation grades, especially from 2005, figure to win
out, placing him ultimately in the mid-to-late first
round area. Marvin Lewis also knows firsthand what it
means to have a former Miami Hurricane setting the tone
on your defense.
