As well, Tennessee has re-upped Collins, Brian Dawkins is a Bronco (both good moves) and Washington dumped Shawn Springs.
Well since we signed Fred Taylor we probably aren't drafting a RB in the 1st or 2nd round. WR in 3rd or 4th maybe
pats weren't signing a rb in the 1st or 2nd anywaysQuote:

Eto you must learn...stats piss Jaker off :pQuote:

i can't beleive dawkins has left my eagles!!! the guy is a beast. he has lost a couple steps but makes up for it with his leadership. a solid broncos signing, a major eagle loss.:(
The major position (other then the D-line) the broncos lacked was the Safety position. They didn't have ANYONE back there worth their salt and now with Dawkins they do.
Now, a d-line. Next, a solid middle linebacker.
He's a solid player...nice blocker, good short yardage receiver as a safety valve. He helps them re-discover that double tight end formation that's been successful for them in the past.Quote:

-The Jets grab Lito Sheppard in a trade. Again, nice move by New York. Lit's a decent cover corner, and gives them a very nice number 2 guy opposite Revis. They also resigned Brandon Moore about 24 hours after unloading him. They wanted Kemoeatu, but he decided to stay with the Steelers. Still, they saved on paying Moore the roster bonus he was due.
-St. Louis signs Jason Brown to play center. Not sure what his contract is, but they need big guys like him who can piledrive holes open for Jackson to run through.
-Denver HAS signed Renaldo Hill to be their other safety next to Dawkins.
Well could a mod change this to the NFL offseason thread? That's the way its panning out
That is crazy how quiet that Dawkins move is, he was the heart and soul of that Eagles D.
The Winslow move has been pretty quiet. This does wonders for the Bucs offense.
IF they get themselves a quarterback.Quote:
