A source with knowledge of the investigation said Massachusetts State police spoke to Hernandez on Monday and were interested in possibly searching his home. 6/18/2013 5:26:00 PM http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124419333&aId=21157360&d=130618 http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124368260&aId=21157092&d=130618 New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski underwent back surgery with noted specialist Robert Watkins in California on Tuesday.

Tuesday, we received a quick answer. The NFL Network is reporting Bishop, who was cut by the Packers on Monday, will visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday and Thursday. He is visiting Minnesota on Tuesday. Bishop was in Green Bay with new Kansas City general manager John Dorsey. Clearly, Dorsey thinks Bishop can help his team, which has been busy reloading all Bill Williamson 6/18/2013 12:06:00 PM http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124404341&aId=21151302&d=130618 http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124382872&aId=21157783&d=130618 Seattle G Moffitt pleads guilty to disorderly conduct 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124382872&aId=21157783&d=130618 http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124368282&aId=21157817&d=130618 NFL teams are always looking for ways to improve, which is why it's shocking to see some of the players still available on the 2013 free-agency market. With the dog days of summer fast approaching and teams having already completed OTAs and minicamps, there are still some veritable stars who have yet to sign on with new teams.Rest assured, these players will find jobs before the start of the 2013 NFL season.

Mike Munchak and his coaches decided that the three final practices of the offseason won’t be scripted. Coaches and players will go into them with a sense of what they want to do.

The league plans to have ex-players speak about the possibility of having a gay teammate, and how to talk about these issues publicly.

Leonard is one of the quietest players in the NBA and he'd be thrilled if he could play basketball without having to answer questions about it. When asked what he thought about having to stand at a lectern and hold court with the press, Leonard replied bluntly, "I don't like it at all."

As reported by NFL.com, almost anything short of a 12-inch-by-six-inch-by-12-inch transparent bag will be confiscated by stadium security at the gates.  That means that most women's purses and all backpacks, fanny packs and seat cushions won't be making it into NFL stadiums this fall.

The team got poor play from Cameron Bradfield and Guy Whimper on the right edge of last year’s offensive line, which meant Lewis, a solid blocker, was held in to help far more often than was ideal. Joeckel will be a far steadier player. That should free Lewis up to be a target more often for quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert or Chad Henne.

It was surely a hit and if you missed it, you can view it here.Now the South Beach beauties and the terrific Miami Dolphins production team have put together a summer of 2013 version of what I hope is starting to become an annual deal.

The media, NFL teams, teammates in the form of the NFL Network Top 100 Players or fans of the game. What if you took that all into account to truly find the players we pay too much attention to, and the players that we're mistakenly over-looking?This isn't a prediction of who will be underrated during the 2013, but a look at the players we've gi Matt Miller 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124368297&aId=21157819&d=130618 http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124386885&aId=21157109&d=130618 Within the next 24 hours, we're going to find out what type of narratives are going to come into play over the next season for LeBron James.If the Miami Heat lose: Is the 'Big Three' a complete and utter failure? Is LeBron going back to Cleveland? Is the career of Dwyane Wade over? Is Chris Bosh getting traded? Was the first championship just a fluke? LeBron James is not the world-defying, capable-of-jumping-over-buildings-in-a-single-bound champion.But if he wins, what a resounding success the John Friel 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124386885&aId=21157109&d=130618 http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124388814&aId=21157157&d=130618 Eric Bledsoe is an extremely talented young player, and the Los Angeles Clippers have to make sure they are not giving him up for nothing.In three years in the NBA, the point guard has shown plenty of potential. Last season, he averaged 8.5 points, 3.1 assists and three rebounds per game. Unsurprisingly, he is much better when he starts.When Chris Paul was out this year and Bledsoe was able to start at point guard, he averaged 14.2 points, 5.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He also made Rob Goldberg 1/1/0001 12:00:00 AM http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124388814&aId=21157157&d=130618 http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124314927&aId=21151550&d=130618 The New York Jets did Tim Tebow wrong in 2012 in a number of different ways, but the polarizing quarterback will make his old team pay with the New England Patriots this upcoming season.No, really. You've likely heard that the Jets will be paying the majority of Tebow's salary this season. As Brian McIntyre or Yahoo! Sports reported, New York will shell out $1,531,875 for Tebow in 2013. Should Tebow make the Patriots roster in 2013, New England will owe him less money for both years on his curre Jesse Reed 6/18/2013 1:49:00 PM http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124314927&aId=21151550&d=130618 http://football.rawsignal.com/news/Story.aspx?mode=0&id=124382842&aId=21157059&d=130618 In the NFL, building a winning franchise starts with the draft and continues through several years of smart free-agent acquisitions and salary cap management. The Miami Dolphins have accelerated the process. Miami has done a good job adding some youthful talent through the draft in recent years, but what the team did in free agency this offseason goes far beyond any of those efforts. As a result, the Dolphins will be in much better position to make a run at the AFC East title in 2013.
