10:53 AM ET 05.19 | Just when you thought Donte Stallworth's legal issues were behind him, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) "rolled up" on the embattled NFL wide receiver this weekend. The 32-year-old took to Twitter with claims he was accosted by CIA officials while snapping a photo outside the agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia. "I came eerily close to being sent to Guantanamo Bay," Stallworth said. "Y'all think I'm joking? They rolled right up on me and I hadn't been there for more than 2 minutes, tops." Stallworth, who had a brief comeback stint with the New England Patriots last season, said U.S. officials questioned him about the photos and his intentions outside the complex.

10:36 AM ET 05.19 | Mike Goodson remains on the Jets roster, despite being slapped with weapons and drugs charges on Friday, but offensive lineman Willie Colon doesn't expect that to be the case much longer. "It's one of the things where it's zero-tolerance with stuff like that," Colon told the Daily News Saturday at the Alliance for Lupus Research walk at MetLife Stadium. "It's sad. Mike could have been huge for us." "He wasn't around a lot, so I didn't really get to see him a lot. For the most part, I was kind of anticipating seeing how he was going to do in OTAs," added Colon. The lineman, who also signed as a free agent this offseason, said the team hadn't said anything to the players about Goodson yet and he heard about it through the news. "A lot of guys were upset. They knew the type of ballplayer (he was)," Colon said.

10:27 AM ET 05.19 | For the sixth time since 2011, a player for the Seattle Seahawks violated the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. The latest Seattle player to run afoul of the league's drug policy is second-year pro Bruce Irvin. Other Seahawks who tested positive: Cornerback Brandon Browner, who was suspended for the final four games of the 2012 regular season after reportedly testing positive for Adderall. Safety Winston Guy, who was suspended by the league for four games in 2012. Guy did not appeal the suspension. Guy's agent, Greg Linton, said his client tested positive for an over-the-counter substance that's on the NFL's lengthy list of banned substances. Offensive lineman John Moffitt was suspended for four games without pay in December, 2011. According to Moffitt's agent, Michael George, his client was suspended for taking a drug used to treat hyperactivity, and that Moffitt did not notify the league he was taking the drug. Offensive lineman Allen Barbre was suspended for the first four games of the 2012 season. The Seahawks released Barbre that October after he finished serving his suspension. Cornerback Richard Sherman was suspended for four games in 2012 for reportedly taking Adderall, but the decision was reversed when Sherman won his appeal on grounds that the sample was contaminated because of a leaky cup.

09:20 AM ET 05.19 | The use of GPS systems and heart rate monitors during practice to monitor biomechanics and recovery continues to grow in the NFL. Among the latest teams to join the trend are the Eagles and Jaguars. New Eagles coach Chip Kelly is very much into using technology and thinking outside of the box. Jaguars coach Gus Bradley was familiar with GPS monitoring because the Seahawks did it when he was in Seattle. The system is particularly helpful in terms of monitoring recovery of athletes and helping to gauge players who are rehabbing.

Greg Schiano: Mike Glennon best QB in draft

09:14 AM ET 05.19 | Something about Mike Glennon has interested Greg Schiano for a long time. When Schiano was the head coach of Rutgers in 2007, he visited Glennon at Westfield High School in Fairfax County, Va., to recruit him Glennon told Schiano his goal was to play in the ACC, not in the Big East. "I was disappointed because I thought he was the best one on the East coast that year," Schiano said. Fast forward to the 2013 draft. Schiano, now the head coach of the Bucs, went quarterback shopping again. And he thought Glennon was more than the best quarterback on the East coast this time. He said he thought Glennon was the best quarterback in the draft. No one expects Glennon to beat out Josh Freeman this year. But it???s not out of the question. Schiano said he believes Glennon "can play quickly" if he is needed. "But our situation will be only if he's needed," he said. "Or if he wins the job. Look, I'm not against that. We have a starting quarterback. It's not like we're looking to find a starter. But competition is competition. Mike Glennon is a fierce competitor. I knew that when he was coming out of high school. Now being able to work with him a little, you can see it on the practice field." Glennon will get a chance. Maybe this year. Maybe next, after Freeman's contract expires. Maybe farther on down the line.
