Has Sean Payton introduced "Moneyball" to the NFL? Chris Wesseling has that and other issues covered with Super Bowl fallout links.

 Tim Tebow-QB-PlayerFeb. 9 - 10:17 pm et
NFL Network's Mike Mayock believes Tim Tebow can develop into a quarterback who can "win football games" in the NFL in 2-3 years.
Our favorite draft analyst guesses that Tebow will be a second-round pick, but he'd advise holding off until the third because of the time needed to fix the Florida QB's throwing motion and footwork. Per Profootballtalk.com, Mayock added: "If you're ever going to take a chance on a kid, this is the kid."

 Walter Jones-T-SeahawksFeb. 9 - 8:16 pm et
The Seahawks are still unsure of LT Walter Jones' plans for 2010.
Jones announced "it is time for me to retire from football" on Twitter Sunday, but he's publicly stated that he wants to keep playing if possible. While he's supposedly exchanged communication with the front office this week, the team has yet to "reconfirm" Jones' plans.

 John Bowie-DB-BrownsFeb. 9 - 7:44 pm et
Browns signed CB John Bowie to a reserve/future contract.
A 2007 fourth-round pick by the Raiders, Bowie has intriguing speed but can't stay healthy. He's played in just five games the past three years.

 Greg Olsen-TE-BearsFeb. 9 - 7:40 pm et
Greg Olsen didn't handle his blocking duties well in 2009, according to "multiple scouts who watched the Bears regularly."
The news isn't surprising since Olsen has always been lauded much more for his receiving ability. It's a significant concern for 2010, though, since Mike Martz won't be using nearly as many two-tight end sets as Ron Turner did. It's yet another reason to dock Olsen's fantasy outlook under Martz.

 Felix Jones-RB-CowboysFeb. 9 - 7:22 pm et
According to beat writer Tim MacMahon, the Cowboys' "easy decision" in the backfield is to make Felix Jones the "lead horse."
MacMahon believes Marion Barber may "already be wearing down" and that his struggles in short yardage are a "serious concern." The team is expected be open to trading either Barber or Tashard Choice this offseason, but they may be hesitant to pull the trigger after all three backs missed time with injuries in 2009. For a team that has the look of a serious contender, the backfield depth is more necessity than luxury.

 Donte' Stallworth-WR-BrownsFeb. 9 - 6:20 pm et
Updating a previous item, Profootballtalk.com reports Donte' Stallworth will work out for the Lions Wednesday.
The Lions presumably see Stallworth as an upgrade on Bryant Johnson as the No. 2 receiver. His 17 receptions for 170 yards in 11 games with the Browns two years ago suggest that may no longer be the case.

 Steven Jackson-RB-RamsFeb. 9 - 5:41 pm et
Las Vegas police cited a lack of evidence in closing the assault case against Steven Jackson brought on by allegations from his former girlfriend.
Detectives talked to all parties involved after Jackson was accused of beating his then-pregnant girlfriend, who is now the mother of his young son. With insufficient evidence, the investigation is complete and the case closed. Jackson, who had vigorously denied the accusations, is not expected to be punished by the league.
