I see Marshawn Lynch has got himself arrested. That man looks scarily like a wraith from Stargate Atlantis.

Colts and Marvin Harrison are parting ways...

I don't like it, but I'm interested to see what they do with that money now that he's leaving.

Its gonna be weird seeing him in anything but a Colts uniform. But he would look good in a Bears outfit.

That money is going to sign draft-picks. As far as I can tell, the exact salary cap hasn't been set this year, but the Colts are up against and over it with Harrison's contract on the books.

We'll miss you in Indy, Marvin. Once a Colt, always a Colt.

So the Vikings, in their loving of horrible QB's, are going after Sage Rosenfels.

THE MAN IS A GARNISH AND BACKUP AT BEST.

Why can't to go after one of the pat's QBs or pick up McNabb.

He played well against the Colts when he wasn't fumbling the ball away for touchdowns for impossible victories and such...

Well well well, Albert Haynesworth has just signed for the 'skins. 4th best D already, and now they add Haynesworth?! Apparently the Bucs, with plenty more cap space (and a much greater need) didnt offer enough and missed out. That's gotta hurt, Sparky. :whistle:

But hey, at least you got Kellen Winslow for "undisclosed" draft picks. TE isnt really the Bucs biggest need though, so I'll be interested to see how good or bad a trade they got when the draft picks are announced.

Winslow cost an 2009 2nd rounder & 2010 5th rounder .... not too bad IF he stays healthy and motivated. Now need to find a QB to throw to him ... Derek Anderson maybe ?

Daniel Snyder sure has more money than brains .... will Haynesworth remain motivated after cashing in on his career year .... great player yes ... but NEVER played/started a full season.

Snyder has ruined the Redskins. He just hasn't made very many smart moves. They've won 2 playoff games during his tenure, while spending like the Yankees. Spurrier sure got out of there fast...

The Redskins will improve on defense, but they'll never be contenders until they get more of an offense

So, Matt Cassell got traded to the Chiefs. Anyone think he'll be any good, or will going from an excellent team to one of the worst in the league show that he was a system quarterback.

I think he'll be ok, but theres not enough talent around him and the offensive line is too poor for him to be too good.

I think KC made a killer bargain, and it will improve the team quite a bit. I dont see them going 2- 14 again this year!

Doesn't matter how good the QB is until the O-Line gets sorted out there. It's HARD to go 2-14 in the NFL, so I bet they don't do that again as well. More like 5-11, or because they play in a shit division, 6-10.

Ahahahaha!!!

You know someone will pick him up though, there are plenty of receiver needy teams who'll think they can keep in in check with contract clauses about sh*t-stirring.

Hey, they Eagles need a top WR - TO back to Philly? :D :D Or a replacement for Houshmanzooglydoodly at Cincinatti, he'd be a great new accompaniment to Ocho Cinco. :)

I can see the Raiders going for him tbh. Old Al loves a flash move.

I hope NO ONE picks him up. He's never done anything on the field that makes up for him acting the way he does off. which is saying a lot considering what a talented player he is.
As long as he stays away from Chi town i dont care where he goes.

Glad to see Warner resign with the Cards. If their defense can play decent they should be pretty damn good next year.

Wow, didnt expect them to pick him up...they already have Lee Evans, and they need help plenty of other places more...mind you, $6.5mils not too much, when you think, each team got a $4mil cap bonus for underspending the collective bargaining agreement.

So how long before that all goes horribly wrong then?

Steelers having another productive free agency I see. I always feel that we are missing a trick by not taking better advantage of free agents.

He'll make them better immediately, he'll play the nice guy. After two years they'll be a lot better and everyone will be happy. By year 3 the team will be in total anarchy and everyone will wonder why, meanwhile TO moves on to another team and does the same thing.

TO doesn't have 3 years left. If he's a good little soldier and doesn't cause too much distraction in Buffalo, he might get a second year. He's on his way out; my man's 36 this season....

I think Haslett's evaluation of TO was pretty spot on....an all-time great; but a waning talent that comes with a history of off-the-field issues is a sketchy proposition for most teams.

If any city can smother him into submissiveness with cold, gray monotony and a relatively media-less environment, Buffalo can!
