Jayson Werth

The national have agreed to contract terms with free-agent outfielder Jayson Werth, who will be getting a seven-year deal worth, in the region of $126 million. The Nationals came into money after releasing free agent Adam Dunn to the Chicago White Sox. Werth is lined up to replace Dunn's bat in the centre of the Nat's lineup.

The move means that Werth will most likely play right field and protect Ryan Zimmerman in the lineup. Werth's departure creates a hole in the Phillies' lineup. Werth had an .889 on-base-plus-slugging percentage the past three seasons, which ranked 10th in the Majors for right-handed hitters and fifth among right-handed-hitting outfielders. His 87 home runs ranked eighth among right-handed hitters and second to Milwaukee's Ryan Braun (94) among right-handed-hitting outfielders. Werth also stole 53 bases and played strong defense over those three years.

So an exciting prospect for The Nationals who will be hoping Jayson Werth is able to find some great form for them and lead them into trophy success.

Dwayne Bowe

After gathering together record smashing numbers over his last few games, you would think the Kansas City Chiefs could be in line for some more magic from Dwayne Bowe aginst the Denver Broncos. This wasn't the case as Bowe was shut out, no yards on no catches, by Denver Bronco's CB Champ Bailey.

Bailey truly dominated Bowe today, with Matt Cassel only even targeting Bowe three times the entire game. This is in direct contrast to Bowe's first performance against the Broncos in 2010, where he caught 13 passes for 186 yards. Also, you can throw in two touchdowns there. Bowe was also targeted 18 times in the Chiefs/Broncos first meeting, six times more than he was this afternoon. After the game, Bowe said that the Broncos had "a nice little game plan" for him. Bowe said Denver obviously paid extra attention to him throughout the game, relative to their first meeting in November.

So Dwayne Bowe's has an off day and the Denver Broncos were able to combat his threat very successfully with their "game plan"
