    Probably a better move for Moss, he hardly seemed motivated at any point during last season....

    I'd rather he do this than sign with a team, half-ass it through the season, and get cut after week 6. Although, I'm sure there will still be some speculation as to whether some team will take a flier on him half way through the season.

    Colts signed another free agent: Dan Orlovsky! Colts fans no longer worried about Peyton neck issue.

    Nice signing. I think he and McCoy will help keep each other fresh.

    There are some rumors about Seattle and NYG dealing Carlson for Osi. If only they picked a more surefire QB to helm, they might make a run for repeating the NFC West.

    Not only that, the Eagles also have 2 2nd round picks, 2 4th round picks, 2 5th round picks and 2 6th round picks in next year's draft if they keep them all but watch out for a trade. ;)

    Man the Raiders have really dropped the ball during FA.

    They left Nnamdi walk to try and keep some guys around, and they did reup Wimbley and Huff... but man Zach Miller was our only real weapon in the passing game.

    This is gonna suck.

    Hey breh, I heard Al Davis has an algorithm in place to make draft picks, coaching selections & firings, and FA moves on his behalf after he dies, so he'll always be in control. Sucker.

    haha Giants signed David Carr, and they still have Sage Rosenfels.
    those two are together again!
