PAUR REPORT
Roster Shake-ups
Well, that was quite the weekend. As most of you know, NFL teams had to get down to 53 players on their roster before the end of the weekend. This means tons of players getting released or even traded as teams trim their rosters. There is a lot to sort out, but we are here to fill you in the key moves and how they impact your fantasy roster. Just think, next week at this time we'll be reflecting back on the week that just happened. Great stuff!
The Cardinals cut ties with quarterback Matt Leinart . He finally had a chance to grab a starting role and failed to seize the opportunity. There is a good chance this was Leinart's last shot at being a starter. He didn't take too long to catch on with another team, though, agreeing to a deal with the Texans. He should be Matt Schaub's top backup once he becomes familiar with the offense, moving ahead of Dan Orlovsky , who struggled during camp and preseason action.
In Arizona, undrafted rookie free agent Max Hall will serve as the No. 2 behind Derek Anderson . The Cardinals were very impressed with Hall during camp and preseason action. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Hall was the best quarterback of the bunch. Anderson doesn't have a firm grasp on the starter's job so if he has any struggles, don't be surprised if Hall becomes the starter in Arizona.
Receiver T.J. Houshamandzadeh was released by the Seahawks over the weekend. The Seahawks are going with a youth movement at receiver, getting rid of the aging Houshamandzadeh. He still has something left in the tank, but is more of a possession receiver than anything. He should find work, likely landing with the Raiders or Redskins, who have shown the most interesting in him. [Full Story]

Fast start key goal for Titans after 0-6 stumble
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee Titans receiver Nate Washington insists all thoughts of last year's 0-6 start are in the past. Fullback Ahmard Hall holds the memory of that stretch as strong motivation to win immediately.
One thing all the Titans agree on is that a fast start is a must - beginning with Sunday's opener against the Oakland Raiders .
Hall said Monday the Titans cannot afford to dig an early hole as they did in 2009 if they want to compete in the AFC South against the Indianapolis Colts or Houston Texans . [Full Story]
