The NFL's supplemental draft is not nearly as much fun as the regular version -- it's more of a blind auction than the format we know and love every spring. Nevertheless, there are some interesting prospects that emerge every offseason for selection in that process. Notably as of late, the Oakland Raiders nabbed QB Terrelle Pryor back in 2011 and last offseason, the Cleveland Browns got WR Josh Gordon, the latter of whom made an immediate impact as a rookie. This year, there could be a very intriguing RB prospect on whom teams can bid.

When everyone is healthy, the New England Patriots' offense should again be a juggernaut this season. But that's the big unknown: new WR Danny Amendola has had issues staying on the field throughout his career, and star TEs Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski both battle significant health problems in 2012. For Gronk, the issues continue.

Given the opinion in some corners of the Internet that the Dallas Cowboys have under-performed in recent seasons (based upon their assembled talent), there has been speculation that HC Jason Garrett is on the hot seat as we look ahead to the 2013 season. This idea has gained steam as the club has hired former NFL head coaches to serve as his assistants; after all, any of these men could serve as the interim HC if Garrett were to be canned mid-season.

2012 wasn't entirely a "red-shirt" season for Green Bay Packers OLB Nick Perry, but platooning for six games followed by a season-ending wrist injury does not exactly provide great return on investment for the club who used a first-round pick on the USC product. The team still has three more seasons on its deal with Perry, but there is pressure to find the right place for him.

After adding DE Osi Umenyiora and RB Stephen Jackson this offseason -- and with a massive extension ahead for QB Matt Ryan -- one might assume the Atlanta Falcons were done adding outside free agents at this point. But, apparently they believe they've got room for one more.

The Buffalo Bills lost TE Scott Chandler to a torn ACL in December, and he joked at that time that he'd come back better than Adrian Peterson. All joking aside, the speed with which he's returning from the injury may rival that of the Minnesota Vikings star RB.

The New Orleans Saints' unsettled situation at left tackle reportedly kept returning HC Sean Payton up at night, and until the hitting begins later this summer, we won't really know whether any of their current options will be able to get the job done in 2013. But we're getting our first looks during the spring practices.

Unlike some other teams, the New York Giants simply do not place a big emphasis on the linebacker position, and have been quite successful with this strategy given that they've won two Super Bowls recently. Nevertheless, they do need somebody to start at those positions, and at middle linebacker, they'll have some competition heading into 2013.

The San Diego Chargers were excited about the possibilities with WR Vincent Brown up until he wrecked his ankle in a preseason game last summer. The injury kept Brown out for the entire 2012 campaign, but as the club has gone through their offseason program this spring, he's been an active participant. Given the team's makeup, it's possible he could be ready for a breakout in 2013.

The Minnesota Vikings have a lot of exciting things going on: their superhero running back just led the NFL in rushing less than a year after tearing his ACL; they have a new line of jerseys (and a slightly altered logo) that they've debuted this offseason; they unveiled plans for a new stadium with a Skynet-esque "self-cleaning" roof. But beneath the surface, there's a financial issue lingering: namely, star DE Jared Allen's contract with the club is expiring after 2013.

It's official: the Giants have renewed their business relationship with Ramses Barden for 2013. According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, it's "presumably" at the veteran minimum, (which we'll be able to confirm or deny shortly).

Although the Detroit Lions were happy to bring S Louis Delmas back into the mix -- in theory, his presence crosses off one item on the list of needs -- the good feelings might be short-lived: the injury-prone Delmas appears to be suffering from yet another health issue.
