What? Tampa Signed BJ Askew...SWEET!

Ok this post is the first of KC's solo work to appear on the site. Anywho here is a recap and commentary on Free Agency thus far...

Adalius Thomas(LB)- Patriots: Probably the best player available in free agency and a great pick up for the "Yankees of Football" will boost the Patriots linebacking core considerably and it was needed after last years group of players.
Nate Clements (CB)- 49ers: 8 years 80 million dollars is a whole lotta money for a slightly above average player. Clements is now makin Champ Bailey money without having Champ Bailey talent, and thats definitely good for him; bad for 49er fans, but honestly who really cares about them anyways
Patrick Kerney(DE)- Seahawks: coming an injury plagued year should bounce back and return to form. NEXT
Daniel Graham(TE)-Broncos: Now, the Broncos have gone Dan Snyder on Free Agency and i have to say this YOU CANT BUY A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM IN FREE AGENCY!!!! just ask ole Dan... In the the theory on Graham was that he was overshadowed in the Patriots two TE set.. personally i feel he was overshadowed for a reason.
Leonard Davis(OG)- Cowboys: Its hard to tell whether his play in Arizona was because of him suckin ass or Arizona's line in general suckin ass.. what I do know is that its hard to say a guy that big cant do well at any position on the O-line.
Ahman Green(RB)-Texans: "We're excited to get this deal done because Ahman's been a successful running back in this league for a long time," Texans general manager Rick Smith said."We're going to hitch our wagon to him.... until week 6 when every muscle in his legs will tear at which point we'll have to take him out to the pasture and shoot him."
Drew Bennett(WR)-Rams: here is what Len Pasquarelli had to say about Bennett"...Long, angular guy with deceptive deep speed and motivation to prove he's healthy again. " Deceptive speed( i.e. white guy) though to be serious i do think that the Rams made a good desicion by signing Bennett he can be a solid reciever again.
Jeff Garcia(QB)-Bucs: I have to say bringing in Garcia to start a QB is a great descion for the... what?... if he's not starting then who is?... what?CHRIS SIMMS!!what idiot thought that was a good idea?.. seriously? ok.. continuing Chris Simms will be benched sometime this season look here I'm calling it now, as a Longhorn fan I've experienced my fair share of Chris Simms and you might get lucky from time to time with him in there, but eventually he's gonna leave ya in pile on the floor cryin wish for someone anyone else and thats all there is to it.. start Garcia and save yourself some trouble

Dominic Rhodes(RB)-Raiders: This could be a good pickup I mean look at how well it worked out the last time the Raiders signed a career backup running back. 434 yards 2 TDs and a medial collateral ligament injury, but hey great sign I'm sure he'll carry the load for the season it wasn't like he backed up a rookie all season or anything.

Randy McMicheal(TE)-Rams: Or as I like to call him "the man who killed my fantasy team". For this I REALLY hate him and I'm not gonna say anything further about him

Joe Horn(WR)-Falcons: "I came here to lead by example." is what Horn told Atlanta media on Thursday "Jenkins and White need to learn that $30,000 and a cellphone under the goalpost is all it takes to become a household name"

Jamal Lewis(RB)-Browns: "We are pleased to add Jamal Lewis to our team," Browns general manager Phil Savage said in a statement. "He was a proven NFL back three years ago and will be helpful in obtaining the #1 overall pick in the 2008 draft."

Derrick Dockery(OG)-Bills: One word- NEXT!

London Fletcher-Baker(LB)-Redskins: An older man with diminishing skills but can contribute a little bit and can at the very least be a leader on this team. Now with that said I have one question to ask: Does Dan Snyder realize there is a salary cap in the NFL? was he just sick that day when the owners discussed having it? or did the rest of the owners not tell him as some sort of practical joke? these are all serious questions I feel I need answers. I mean the Redskins had 4 million in cap space when the season ended and have since signed (or resigned) Fletcher-Baker, Fred Smoot, Vernon Fox, and Ade Jimoh this blows my mind the way I had it figured out the Redskins would find it hard to field a team but here they are buyin up free agents again.

Joey Porter(LB)-Dolphins: Odds Joey Porter will help Miami's already stout defense: 2 to 1 Odds he'll go on a rampage screaming homophobic slurs at the South Beach Public: 1 to 1


*BONUS FEATURES*
ok so now its time to talk about some of the trades that have happened so far this offseason.
Dre Bly to Broncos for Tatum Bell and George Foster: Since the Broncos can stick your mom at running back and she'd rush for over a 1000 yards it essentially giving up nothing and getting a great cover corner to line across from Champ Bailey
Reuben Droughns to Giants for Tim Carter: Here is proof that the Broncos can put anyone in at RB what has he done before or after he was with the Broncos.. Nothing.. I'm thoroughly convinced the Broncos should trade away their RB every single year then draft some no name kid in the 6th or 7th round and let him rush for a 1000 yards and start over.
Willis McGahee to Ravens for Draft picks: If McGahee can stay healthy he could have a long career of being under utilized by Brain Billick

Here is an answer to the free agency questions about the Redskins from your Washington insider. The Redskins were able to sign those players by creating cap room through several resructures and cuts. The Redkins restructured Mark Brunell, Randy Thomas, Jon Jansen, James Thrash and other. They cut John Hall, Troy Vincent, and David Patten. These moves created about 8 million in cap space. They know there is a cap and they do everything they can to get under it. With that said, you are absolutly right about not being able to buy a championship unless your the Yankees. The Redskins make just about every bad decision possible. This offseason they have been pretty reserved and made decent signings. However with all the Lance Briggs and Calvin Johnson rumors it seems they are going back to their old ways of awful offseason decisions.
