I'm not going to make this long but I am starting to think that the NFL should open up free agency right before camp every year. There has been so much excitement the past few days since the lockout ended and this has been the craziest free agency period in NFL history. Teams do not have as much time to negotiate with players as they have in the past so deals are being done quickly and splashes have headlined all of ESPN past few days.
Lets recap a few headlines:
Eagles trade Kevin Kolb to the Cardinals: I think he is a good fit for that offense and a good QB for Fitz but part of me wonders if they gave up to much for a guy that does not have many career starts. Cromartie and a 2nd round pick for Kolb? hmmmm idk. Like i said good fit but maybe the cards gave up to much.
Donovan Mcnabb becomes a viking: Mcnabb on the vikings is a decent fit. I thought the vikings would have went all out to resign Sidney Rice since Mcnabb has great arm strength and can throw it deep and Rice can stretch the field. A great passing attack could have been born. I'm not saying it would have been the same as Culpepper to Moss in the early 2000's but it could have been great.
T-Jax and Rice land in Seattle: Pete Carrol was obviously one of the best at getting talent at USC. It looks like he hasn't lost any of that since he entered the NFL. I don't really have much to say about this except that its obvious that Sidney Rice liked the idea of playing with his old QB and Pete Carrol obviously new that.
It was apparent that the Pats missed Randy's ability to stretch the field in the loss to the Jets in the playoffs. With that being said I expect #85 not to tweet as much and behave himself as he fits into the "patriot way".
As i am writing this i am noticing that Nnamdi Asomugha has signed a 5 year deal with the eagles.This is surprising since it was reported the two front runners for him were the cowboys and the Jets. I could only imagine the horror Asomugha and Revis could have unleashed in New York together. The eagles now have Samuel, Aomugha, and Rodgers-Cromartie in their secondary. Wow.
