Are negotiations with T.O. close? Pro Football Talk writes that negotiations between the Bengals and Terrell Owens could intensify on Monday.

Competitive Eating is always good offseason work. Antwan Odom and Evan Mathis will are competing in a burger eating contest at the NASCAR Cafe in Las Vegas on May 22. So naturally, Mathis is going to practice by eating a six-pound burrito. God, I love offensive linemen.

Hebert enjoys the arts. Kyries Hebert was in attendance Saturday night during the Shen-Yun Performing Arts performance at Cincinnati Music Hall. “I was very impressed.

Mocking the Draft mocks. The guys at Mocking the Draft conducted their first round of a Mock Draft. All of the SB Nation sites provided commentary for each pick. They had us selecting tight end Jermaine Gresham. We were asked why it was a good pick and what alternative picks we'd make. Check it out here.

Rankings. Pat Kirwin ranks his top-25 free agents still available. Number two is safety Ryan Clark. Hummm...
