I saw a couple of notes on Twitter that reminded me just how much football is a young man’s game.
* Last season the Rams tried to trade Steven Jackson to the Packers for a 7th round pick.
* Ed Reed still has hip issues and the Texans don’t know when he’ll be ready to play.
Both players have been major stars for the past decade. The Rams and Ravens let both guys leave in the offseason without much resistance. As much as we love veterans with great track records, the cold, harsh reality is that football is very much a sport about what you’ll do in the future.
