"I don't know, I have no idea [what Favre will do]," Bus Cook said before entering the annual agents meeting that is held here at the NFL Scouting Combine. "He's just not even thinking about it really." Asked if he had talked to Favre of late, Cook said, "not about," the future. "We'll just have to see what he wants to do whenever he makes up his mind," Cook said. "I've never asked him about the future and don't intend to start that now.

I've never bothered him about that stuff." Rick Spielman, the Vikings vice president of player personnel, said Thursday that the Vikings have put no timetable on Favre to make up his mind and head coach Brad Childress will speak to the media this morning at Lucas Oil Stadium.Source: Star-Tribune Attached Thumbnails   This article is also featured on GridironFans .

Polamalu was the second-highest paid safety in the NFL last season and will count $8,295,000 against their salary cap in 2010 but Clark believes he belongs among the best safeties in the league and surely will want to be paid as such. "He's offering himself at hometown discount, so to speak," agent Joel Turner said "We're not asking for more than most people would. Keep in mind, Ryan is the best free safety not only in unrestricted free agency but restricted free agency.

He's the best free safety in the business, he does a marvelous job of quarterbacking the defense This is not a situation where this is some average guy. Ryan is superior at his position."Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette This article is also featured on GridironFans . NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--Revlon, Inc.
