Packers to cut Koren Robinson?
ProFootballTalk.com reports that the Packers are planning on releasing Koren Robinson, possibly as soon as today. Green Bay is looking to get younger at the position, and teams around the league are waiting for Robinson to be cut instead of working out a trade.  (ProFootballTalk.com)

LenDale wants you to guess his weight
LenDale White, sometimes referred to as LenWhale, says he wants NFL fans to keep guessing what he weighs because "it is great talk." It also sounds like a very not fun way to spend an afternoon. (Nashville Tennessean)

Morning tidbits

Alexander and Bengals still talking
The Bengals aren’t hurting for running backs but are apparently very interested in former Seahawk Shaun Alexander. Talks between the two sides are still active, while New Orleans – the other team Alexander recently visited – has not made any offer. One thing going for Cincy is that Alexander grew up in Florence, Kentucky, which is just on the other side of the Ohio River from Chili City. (Cincinnati Enquirer)

Specter disappointed by Walsh tapes
Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, who seemingly decided to make the NFL his problem after a bunch of other folks on Capitol Hill decided to get involved in baseball’s steroid problem, apparently doesn’t like the way the NFL is already saying that the Matt Walsh tapes contain “nothing new.” Specter gets to hang out with Walsh on Tuesday after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spends time with him. Pretty big company for a lowly video assistant. (Boston Globe)

Titans to spend money on youngsters
The Titans have a lot of salary-cap space and are apparently hoping to spend that money on the team’s own players in order to build a strong nucleus that can move the team forward. Just before the draft, Tennessee signed tackle Michael Roos to a six-year, $43 million deal that it hopes proves to be a formula that it can replicate with a number of its other young players.
