Apparently, The Ravens have hired Homer Simpson to manage their roster. |

The next week or so is going to be crazy, what with the free agents and all. Looking forward to it.

woohoo, donovan mcnabb on the vikes. a crappy o-line protecting a washed up qb that can't move anymore. i hope they re-sign rice, extend peterson and greenway long term, cut slugs like berrian and m. williams (although i don't understand the kennedy release).

I can't say I'm disappointed with the move, but to be honest, wasn't the knock against the Vikes' offensive line only that they're the worst run blockers in the league? The old gunslinger seemed to have adequate pass protection for most of last season, and I don't see why Donovan would be any worse off this season (unless he just doesn't pick up the offense fast enough!). |

Seems like a win-win for the Pats (who can likely get some good results out of Haynesworth, and needed help in the pass rush) and the Skins (who couldn't get anything good out of Haynesworth.

risk isn't measured solely in $$. Haynesworth is a cancer, but good luck. They've had a good track record dealing with other "cancers," so it seems like a good move with little downside. |

Lots of luck with Haynesworth.

This was what I was going to say...everyone thought Moss was a cancer when he came to the Patriots. After his stint in NE, he was the hottest ticket for a while until people realized again he was a cancer. |

If the Pats get two good years out of Haynesworth before he goes off the deep end again, the deal will have been well worth it. If he flakes out this year, they'll blow him off, and all it cost them was a fifth round choice, right? A gamble well worth taking.
And now I see the Pats are also adding the artist formerly known as Ochocinco. It'll be interesting to see if Chad toes the straight and narrow in NE, but I never viewed him as a troublemaker - only a self-promoter

Don't the Pats also play a 3-4 defense, that one that Fat Albert refused to play in DC?

Chad Johnson is a complete reach and type of move Belichick can get away with while others would get destroyed. He's not reliable--can't tell you how many times the guy goes around a defender after rounding off a route and type of WR that Brady will despise. He's soft, and has a big mouth and talks big time/plays little. A gutless coward when it matters and type of guy who comes up small with stakes the highest.

Given that he's played his entire career with the Bengals, how would you know how he plays when the stakes are highest? ;D |

The big conversion plays where Palmer would look to him--and personally seeing him let defenders cut in front of him as he went around to avoid getting hit and costing Palmer an INT. He's one of the reasons Palmer wanted out--and albeit not the main one but he'll be seen for what he is in NE. |

Wouldn't surprise me to see Ocho not make it to opening day. As RDF indicated, he has a tendency to play way too sloppy to exist in a disciplined offense, nor does he have a defining physical ability that makes him worth it with the sloppiness.

Have the Big Bad Patriots even won a playoff game since 2007 season?
Seems like the cheater is really getting desperate for players. I'd take a risk on Haynesworth but #85 seems like a waste of everybody's time.
