With the NBA season nearing its end and NFL pre-season already underway, I wanted to give you some updates on NFL football ticket trade news from around the league.  For all those Seattle Seahawk fans out there tired of the always broken Shawn Alexander, he has been released. He was being outrun by the backup running back last season, need I say more.

The Atlanta Hawks picked up quarterback Matt Ryan in the number 3 pick. He will take the place of dog hating Vick. Ryan played exceptional ball at Boston College and will take that drive into the NFL.

In other NFL football ticket trade news, the Baltimore Ravens went with Joe Flacco who was their 18th choice overall. The Vikings forfeited their first-round choice and two third-round choices in order to acquire defensive end Jared Allen. Allen received a contract for 31 million dollars, guaranteed not matter his performance. That NFL football ticket trade news had to brighten up his day. The Patriots gave the Chargers a third-round choice for the Chargers second-round choice in 2009.
