Chad Ochocinco to Patriots
The Patriots have traded for WR Chad Ochocinco for two draft picks. Chad Ochocinco is a solid WR that will help the Patriots offense. With Tom Brady throwing the ball, Ochocinco could wound up having a great season. This addition will be a boost to the Patriots offense.

Rams sign saftey Mikell
The St. Louis Rams and Saftey Quintin Mikell have a greed on a 4 year contract. Mikell was one of the best safties in the leauge for Philly, can he do that again in St. Louis?

Bush agreed to a 2 year contract with the Dolphins. Bush is a good RB that can do everythning on the field. He can run catch passes, and is a great punt returner too. Bush will help this Miami offense that already includes WR Brandon Marshall and WR Davone Bess. With Bush in action for Miami now, Miami might have a shot to make it to the playoffs.
Haynsworth Traded
The New England Patriots have obtained DT Alber Haynsworth from the Washington Redskins for a 2012 5th round draft pick. Haynsworth will beef up this Patriots DL, that already includes DT Vince Wilfork. Maybe they'll go to a 4-3 defense and have Wilfork and Haynsworth in the middle. Despite the fact that Haynsworth had an off year, He is still a big fact or in the game and I belive that he will dominate this year.
