NFL Moves

Since free agency started, there have been many players who have changed teams and signed lucrative deals. The Washington Redskins signed defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to a 7 year contract worth $100 million. The Redskins also re-signed DeAngelo Hall to a 6 year contract worth $54 million. The Redskins, who has always been looked at as weak talent evaluators and big spenders, have again done just that, committing $154 million to two players.

The New York Jets signed linebacker Bart Scott to a 6 year contract and acquired cornerback Lito Sheppard from the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade. They later gave him a 4 year extension. The New York Giants also made a splash, signing defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, linebacker Michael Boley and defensive end Chris Canty. They also re-signed running back Brandon Jacobs to a 4 year deal.

I believe the Jets and the Giants made good moves in free agency with the players they acquired. They both strengthed their defense in the long run, making themselves playoff contenders in the foreseeable future. The Kansas City Chiefs also made good moves acquiring linebacker Mike Vrabel and quarterback Matt Cassel from the New England Patriots. The Denver Broncos signed Brian Dawkins to a 5 year deal, which I don't think he'll fulfill. The Redskins will regret giving that much money to Haynesworth and Hall because Hall talks too much and is a distraction, and Haynesworth does get injured quite a bit. What other teams made good moves? What teams made the worst moves, or didn't make moves at all?
