The Green Bay Packers used the 2012 NFL Draft to bolster their defense, and they're counting on second-round pick Jerel Worthy to provide an inside rush. He's off to a slow start this summer.

The NFC North will feature some of the league's most potent passing attacks in 2012. Consequently, all four teams could use more talent at cornerback. Chad Reuter examines specific draft needs.

The big-money free agents are gone but there's still plenty of talent available. Pat Kirwan examines what's still on the market and who could be a potential steal.

It's no surprise there are rumors floating around that teams want "right of first refusal" clauses and the opportunity to use franchise tags in the new labor agreement to control the quality players who could be added to the free-agent market.

It's extremely rare that a restricted free agent switches teams, but here are some scenarios that could make sense for teams with a specific need to fill.

Whether the Colts and Saints rest their players down the stretch will affect more than just the quest for an undefeated season. It will have a profound impact on the MVP race.
