NFL News March 14th-20th

The Browns traded QB Brady Quinn to the Broncos for Peyton Hillis and two draft picks. This will help provide depth for the Broncos at QB after releasing Chris Simms; Quinn will be the backup to Orton. Brady who had 1339 passing yards and 8 touchdown passes with only a 67.9 QB rating was horrible. Still this is a nice addition. The 49ers traded QB Shaun Hill to the Lions for a draft pick. Hill who had 943 passing yards and 5 touchdown passes and had a 79.6 QB rating would be a solid starter or backup for the hopeless Lions. The Chiefs signed guard Ryan Lilja to a 3 year contract. Lilja who was on the Colts last year would be a solid guard for the Chiefs. The Steelers signed LB Larry Foote to a 3 year contract. Foote who was with the Lions last year will probably be a starter for the Steelers. Big news for the Eagles; they released RG/RT Shawn Andrews. The former pro bowler got released after being banged up the last few years. The Bears also released CB Nate Vasher. Vasher who went to the pro bowl in 2005-06 season was released after being a bust after 2007. Also the Cardinals signed ex Brown, Derek Anderson. Anderson who did very poorly last year will be competing with Matt Leinart for starting QB. The Eagles traded DE Darryl Tapp for DE Chris Clemons of the Eagles and a 4th round pick. Tapp will now be backing up Trent Cole at RE for now. The Eagles also signed RB Mike Bell. Bell who ran for 671 yards as the Saints 3rd string RB was pretty impressive along with his 6 rushing td's. The Patriots signed former Titans and Falcons player, Alge Crumpler. Crumpler had 27 catches for 222 yards and only 1 touchdown grab. After releasing Watson, he probably will be the starter.

Let's look at the top free agent signings and trades this off-season so far. To top off free agency on Friday, the Chicago Bears signed Running Back Chester Taylor and Defensive End Julius Peppers. The Bears got Juluis Peppers after a horrible defensive effort. Peppers had 10.5 sacks last year which was 10th in the NFL. Bears got Taylor to help out Matt Forte with the running game. Taylor did have 5 total touchdowns and 700 yards from scrimmage last season. The Detroit Lions signed free agents WR Nate Burelson and Defensive End Kyle Vanden Bosch. Vanden Bosch who had only 4.5 sacks last year could break out for the Detroit Lions 32nd ranked defense. The Ravens made a huge trade for Anquan Boldin. The Ravens traded their 3rd and 4th rounders to the Arizona Cardinals and in return got Boldin and also a 2010 5th round draft pick. Boldin who had 84 catches for 1,024 yards and 4 touchdown grabs will help the Ravens a ton. Antrel Rolle of the Cardinals signed a five year $37 million contract with the New York Giants. Rolle who had 4 interceptions last year with the Cardinals will improve the Giants defense. The safety would help out the Giants after they allowed 427 points last season. The Miami Dolphins agreed with LOLB Karlos Dansby on a big contract for 5 years. Dansby who had 109 total tackles with 1 interception and 1 sack wasn't as big as statistict wise but would help out the Dolphins defense good enough. Miami needed Dansby after allowing Joey Porter, Akin Aydole, and Gibril Wilson on the loose. Other signings were the Atlanta Falcons inked CB Dunta Robinson on a 6 year deal. Even though Robinson didn't have a pick last season it still will be the Falcons #1 cornerback. Antonio Cromartie got traded to the New York Jets for an undisclosed draft pick. Getting Cromartie will be the best CB tandom in the NFL. Cromartie did have 3 picks last season. The Seattle Seahawks plan to meet with Brandon Marshall today. Marshall had 101 catches for 1,120 yards receiving yards and 10 touchdown catches. The Carolina Panthers released Jake Delhomme, which was a very surprising move. Delhomme only threw for 2,015 yards passing and only 8 touchdowns but 18 interceptions. Only played 11 games because of an injury. The Bengals are interested in Terrel Owens. This would be a great move since Cincinnati released Coles. T.o. who had 55 catches for 829 yards and 5 touchdown grabs. Vikings coach Childress visits Favre, says he'll wait on QB. The Vikings should at least keep Brett Farve for one more season at least or there's nobody else for a solid QB. The Bears,the Dolphins, the Saints, and the Giants.The Jaguars got DE Aaron Kampon toaday. Even though Kampon had only 3.5 sacks last season he probably will get a 9 to 10 sack season if stays heathy. THe Browns also got LB Scott Fujita. According to the leauge source Fujita sighned on a 2 year contract. Also the Texans are meeting with CB Leigh Bodden. I think there probably get him and would be a huge key on the defense. The Cardianls also made a huge trade for Kerry Rhodes. This willl be a great deal for the Cardianls who did release Antrel Rolle earlier in the free agency period. The Browns trade for QB Seneca Wallace for a Browns draft pick. I thought this would be a great move after the Browns released Derek Anderson. The Jets sighned RB Thomas Jones. Jones, who had a carrer best 1,402 rushing yards and 14 total td's would help the Cheifs. I thought the Jets would re sign him because the Cheifs already had Charals, who had 1,167 rush yards last season. The Eagles signed CB Marlin Jackson to a 2 year contract. According on NFL.com the Eagles migh move Jackson to saftey. THe Beangals signed Wr Antonio Bryant to a one year deal. They got Bryant cause they released Laverneaus Coles. Bryant who caught 39 passes for 600 yards and 4 touchdowns would help the Beangals. THe Broncos signed DL Jamal Williams and Jarvis Green to 3 and 4 year contracts. THese 2 moves were pretty big because the Broncos stumbled to 8-8 after going 6-0 and the reason that happened is that there DL did horrible the rest of the year. Also the Tennesse Titans signed LB Will Witherspoon to a 3 year contract. The Titans made this move because they lost LB Keith Bulluck to free agency. THe Ravens re-signed WR Derrick Mason to a 2 year contract. Mason who had 80 catches for 1,024 yards and 7 touchdowns would help more depth with the Ravens recivers. THe Raiders released DT Gearld Warren. Warren did not do much for the DL that much. JAke Delhome was going to meet with the Browns and Saints toaday after the Panthers released him. I would think Clevland would be more interested because it would help depth for the Browns at QB. L.T. didn't really want to be the Vikings 3rd down Rb, so he will meet with the Jets maybe. Jets need him more because they released a big RB name Thomas Jones, who signed with the Cheifs. THe Browns just added TE Benjaman Watson. Watson who caught 29 passes for 404 yards and 5 receving touchdowns. Watson would probably be the reciver on the Browns because they don't have a real productive WR. The Cardinals look at LB's Joey Porter and Larry Foote. These guys would be big if they Cardinals get them after releasing Karols Dansby. You can get more NFL News on NFL.com.
