| (MySportsbook) - Redemption is likely on the minds of both the New York Giants and Washington Redskins, two bitter NFC East rivals hoping to start off their 2009 seasons better than they finished the previous one. The Giants entered the final month of the 2008 regular season perched at the top of the conference heap with a glossy 12-1 record, but proceeded to lose three of their final four games before being shut down by the Philadelphia Eagles in a frustrating 23-11 setback in last January's NFC Divisional Pla |

Feeley signed a three-year contract extension in 2007 that ran through next season but Philadelphia's recent signing of Michael Vick put the nine-year pro's future with the team in question. The New England Patriots have been rumored to be interested in his services as they have only undrafted rookie Brian Hoyer backing up Tom B |

Hackett and quarterback Chase Daniel were among the 21 players released by the Washington Redskins on Saturday, as the team established its 53-man roster. Hackett, who was signed during the preseason and thrown into the backup wide receiver competition, couldn't do enough to impress Jim Zorn and the Washington coaching staff during his brief time with the club.
