The Redskins are hoping that Kendall will make up for their problems finding a suitable starting left guard.The Washington Redskins are also planning to give Kendall a raise of $1,000,000 approximately, giving him a new salary of $2.7 million. The trade was neccessary for the Jets, because Kendall had asked to be traded or released due to the fact that New York wouldn’t renegotiate his contract. His frustration on the matter was visible in his body language on the training field. The Redskins had hoped to avoid such a trade, since Derrick Dockery signed a huge contract with Buffallo in the spring as a free agent.

Reggie Miller will not return to the Celtics or NBA at all 2007-08-24 08:03:15 Having spent two weeks putting himself through a rigurous workout regime ot simulate an NBA season, ex Pacers player Reggie Miller has decided not to make a comeback. However, it appears it is not the tiredness and fatigue associated with full time basketball that put him of, it was the mental requirements. “Physically, I know I could have done it. But mentally, when you do something like this, you’ve either got to be all in or all out. And I’ve decided I’m all out.” Miller is the NBA’s all time leader in 3 pointers, but retired in 2005 after 18 years with the Pacers. It is clearly obvious from this that he has the ability to be a top star in the NBA, alongside the likes of Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter and Steve Nash, but it seems he has made his mind up. “So never, ever, ever again. If anybody is ever interested in me playing again, please don’t call.” So, are you disappointed that a legend will not return to the basketball court? So ...
