Edge James going to the Cardinals...

Daunte Culpupper traded to the Dolphins for a 2nd round pick...

Drew Brees going to the Saints...

Brees to the Saints? Good stuff. I wonder if McGinest will go back to the Patriots.

Oh, and Mike Anderson and Jamal Lewis will be sharing RB duties in Baltimore.

Also, Antwaan Randel El is on the 'Skins.

Wonder where Vinateri and Vanderjagt will go?

One had better go to my friggin Cowboys. Rumour has Vince slipping in the draft if the Saints grab Brees. Apparently Cutler has moved ahead of him, don't ask me why.

Because Vince won't be able to understand the playbook

Cowboys release Keyshawn Johnson as the same day that the Eagles release Terrel Owens...hmm....

Not only does Culpepper get traded but Brees gets signed before the Vikes even have a chance.
It's going to be another fun season of Brad Johnson and his 5 yard passes. I'm hoping for Hutchinson, LeDale White and Witherspoon.

hm, lots of stuff goin down... watch out for them dolphins with a qb...

cardinals 've got a pretty potent offense now with edge, boldin and fitzgerald, but they are still the cards... brees goes back to being mediocre in new orleans without LT and gates...

and even though i've always hated washington, the randle el pickup combined with picking up my boy archuleta makes me like them a little more...

Not to mention you still need someone to throw the ball.

Warner had a pretty good year and has always been a good QB. The problem with him is that he can't stay healthy, if he's healthy they should win 8 games.

He's gotta stay healthy and play at a high level for another year for them to be in the 8-9 win range. But what does that get them? He's only going to play another year or two as a starter. Why not let Mcown (sp?) have a shot. Didn;t he win something like 50% of his starts last year? At least he's got room for improvement, and they'll no if they have anything there for the future.

Warner didn't have a great year...he put up pretty good numbers, but the Cards won more with McCown. I'd def start McCown this year if they think he's their guy of the future, so he can get a good rapport with Edge quickly.

Well, they gave Warner a new 3-year deal and McCown has signed with the Raiders. I think they fully believe that Warner is their QB.

They let McCown sign somewhere else? Stupid Cardinals.

Actually Warner was better than McCown last season, sure McCown won more games but that was due to the fact that Warner is made of glass and couldn't stay on the field yet he had the better QB rating, more TD passes and a better completion percentage. There is no way McCown is a better QB than Warner, if he can stay healthy, you will believe.

You say Warner was better, except he's injury-prone? Teams are judged by wins and losses - as simple as that, and McCown played one less game than Warner and had more wins. Health is a big part of judging a QB's effectiveness. McCown is young, Warner is old. The Cardinals have a young team...how does it make sense that you go with Warner? Green wants to win now, but that's not happening with Warner --- he hasn't been a winner for years. His numbers are a product of the Cards not having a running game -- McCown would do fine now that he has someone to hand off to, and potentially a crazy TE like Vernon Davis.

Cowboys sign Terrell Owens.

Traded in Keyshawn for TO....sexy

quote" I am now a star among stars"
good luck with Owens dallas fans im glad we are done with him.
also please go check out his website www.terrellowens.com and turn on the volume on your pc there is a rap bout him when u get to main page its seriously hilarious

ah-ma-zing picture

I wonder how Cowboy fans will greet T.O. After that whole 'dance-on-the-star' fiasco.

As a cowboys fan, I have no idea how to react right now.

With a smile, because your team just got significantly better offensively? It's a great move for Dallas.

Wow, he actually got what he wanted the whole time, a bigger contract with more guaranteed money even if it is shorter in length than his deal with the Eagles. This is the side of professional sports that I just can't stand, oh well.

At the same time, if he produces the numbers he has the past 4 - 5 seasons and keeps his yapper shut, Cowboys will put up TDs like no tomorrow. If anyone can keep him in line, it's Parcells...he did it with LT, did it with Irvin to a degree.

do you think the NBA has any sort of "poison pill" options we could use to steal someone good? ideas?

I'd sooner not give someone 49 million guaranteed....esp to a position that often develops knee problems before they're 30. Oh wait, that happens all the time in the NBA.

The Joey Harrington experiment is finally over after 4 seasons in Detroit...



The Colts signed ex-Pats kicker Adam Vinatieri and what makes it interesting is that ex-Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt is the top candidate to be the replacement for him in New England.

How could they give up on Joey? All he needed was for them to draft one more reciever and he really could have done damage.

Good stuff on the Colts part. They should continue the trend by trading Peyton Manning for Tom Brady.

Speaking of trading Peyton, how many of you football junkies would actually do that if you ran the Colts? I want to get Madden for this purpose only.

how about my raiders getting aaron brooks? i'm predicting him to be this year's daunte cullpepper (qb that puts up huge numbers because of moss). they at least have someone mobile to run the offense, and they can use their draft pick on a defensive player. i wish the raiders weren't the wirst team in a good division, maybe the chargers will eat it without rivers and maybe dick vermeil's ghost will make the chiefs suck

You mean with Rivers...As for Brooks, sure he's never had a Moss to throw it to, but he had Horn, Stallworth and a much better RB, yet still couldn't get it done. I'll have to see it before I believe he's going to breakout.

we talk all the time about having No basketball IQ, well Aaron Brooks is the hoffa of the NFL. Theres a reason he sucks and its cuz he can't read defenses.

Cowboys add Vanderjagt, meaning they can finally get through a season without signing a kicker off the street.

i've gotta be as optomistic as possible. the raiders have a lot of talent on offense now. if art shell can get brooks to just do what he needs to do, get the run game going and make the occasional throw to some of the best targets in the league, my raiders should be decent. if they get an impact defensive player in the draft and tyrone poole works out in the secondary, and they stay injury free, they could be .500 hopefully... i know that is a lot of maybes to get to a pretty crappy goal, but we're talking baby steps here

cowboys with an alcoholic kicker and TO should be interesting. they are america's team for sure now!

Ya it's tough when you have to play all those games against the strong division. There Offence has the potential to be fairly potent, but the other side of the ball is still terrible, unless they've made some changes I'm not aware of.

Much better RB? I think Chester Taylor is going to put up sick numbers this year behind hutchinson and birk, better than Deuce for sure.

Raiders will be similar to my Pack a few years ago on offence - the parts to make up a Ferrari, but with a typically reckless 17 year old at the wheel -- Lots of TDs, lots of INTs.

Scratch that. An alcoholic Canadian kicker, a supremely cocky and talented black star receiver, and an old, white, immobile quarterback? I think they have all the bases covered.

i think they're slowly putting together some parts (albeit old ones) of a decent defense. they have woodson and they signed poole, their rookie LB from last year had a lot of tackles, so hopefully he'll keep up the progress, derrick burgess helped create some sort of pash rush and sapp played better than in his first season. barring injuries and hoping they pick up another impact player or two, and without a totally inept coach, i'm hoping they can make me somewhat happy, instead of failing to beat the browns by 3 in the black hole with Charlie Frye playing as qb for cleveland. if you can't win that game, you're hoppeless

You really think Chester Taylor is a better back than Deuce?

He's going to be a monster. Brad Childress is going to implement the west coast offense in Minnesota and he's going to use Taylor more as a receiver out of the backfield along with as a legitimate ground threat. He was hidden behind Jamal Lewis in Baltimore the last four seasons but when Lewis was hurt, he always was solid.

I realize he's been solid, but Deuce has actually shown he can get it done for a season as a featured back.

Yes, but he blew out his knee last season so no one has an idea of how he will respond. There's a reason the Saints signed Michael Bennett to back up Deuce.

Thats fine and dandy but I was talking about the Deuce that Brooks had in years past, not the Deuce of next season.

I know what you were talking about but that has nothing to do with the present. Deuce won't be the the franchise back he was in years past because of the knee injury he suffered last season, it's a fact.

Plus, as thorbs mentioned, the Saints offensive line lost their best lineman (Center LeCharles Bentley) to free agency so behind a weak offensive line, Deuce won't be as effective as he was in years past. I'd definitely take Chester Taylor especially since the Vikings just signed one of the best blocking full backs in the NFL in Tony Richardson to block for Taylor.

^ what was his knee injury? i remember when willis mcgahee tore his up pretty bad but he pulled through

I'd say it's quite obvious you don't know what I'm talking about. I was arguing that Brooks has performed poorly when he had a superior running game to the one he will have this year. So you are correct, that has nothing to do with the present, but that wasn't my argument...

don't ruin my hopes for the raiders, without hope, i pretty much have nothing

Well there's always hope. Ask Culpepper, having Moss will do wonders for a QB.

that's what i'm hoping for. brooks is mobile and has a good arm and probably fumbles less than culpepper, and the raiders have a decent running back... combine that together and i hope that it'll be less painful than last year
