After spending all of his first 10 NFL seasons with the same team Tennessee Titans, unrestricted free agent Keith Bulluck seriously wants to join a new team, which finally turned out to be the New York Giants. The Giants signed Bulluck to a one-year contract on Friday, ruling out the possibility of Bulluck putting on Minnesota Vikings jersey for his 11th NFL season.
Although suffering a major knee injury in last December, Bulluck managed to pass a Giants physical before a workout with the team Monday. And after taking off his Brett Favre jersey, no swelling was seen on his knee the day after his workout, convincing the Giants that the knee wouldn't pose a problem.
At age 33, Bulluck would be satisfied to earn $2.5 million with incentives in 2010 season. Compared to his former team Titans, who never showed any intension to re-sign Bulluck, the Giants seem to be more generous and have shown enough respects to the veteran. After all, Bulluck had started 130 of the 157 games he appeared during the past 10 seasons and compiled as many as 1,038 tackles, 18 sacks and 19 interceptions. He could just improve the Giants’ defense a lot with his experience.

Steelers veteran CB Townsend hopes to play more football
Having played for the same team Pittsburgh Steelers for 12 years, veteran cornerback Deshea Townsend still believes that he would be able to play for a few more years with the team before he retires as a Steeler. At age 34, he is at least much younger than Brett Favre, who is still likely to put on Vikings jersey as a starting quarterback.
"I did kind of expect to be back, just to add some depth at the position," Townsend told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "They know there's a player out there they don't really have to teach the system, that can come in and play. .. Pittsburgh is home. You always want to be where you started."
As an unrestricted free agent, Townsend is still waiting for a call from the Steelers to ask him back. He continues training and plans to report for the training camp. Does he have a plan B? Surely he has. Townsend used to tell reporters that he wanted to be next Kevin Colbert and work as a scout one day.

WR Terrell Owens blames media for losing job
Former Buffalo Bills star wide receiver Terrell Owens remains jobless since becoming an unrestricted free agent at beginning of this offseason. When checking what caused him to lose favor with all NFL teams, the 14 year veteran is blaming the media for causing his unemployment.
“People have listened to a lot of the commentaries throughout a lot of the media outlets, mainly ESPN, that has my character in question as far as things that have happened in the past,” Owens said. "I may do 99 good things right and if I do one thing wrong, ESPN and the people on there … make it out to be the worst thing ever. I think with the years that I've had, the last three to four years, I feel like I've tried to turn over a new leaf. But still they won't let go of what I did in the past."
Owens recently made several public appearances in Terry Bradshaw jersey to show his respects for a great quarterback. He always believed himself would one day also make it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but the media may damage his reputation and ruin his dream. Finishing last season with 55 receptions for 829 yards, Owens’ performance was really not satisfactory enough to most NFL teams, and it’s no need for him to blame anyone else for his own failure.
