- So Dewayne Robertson is officially a bust. He got traded for a 4th and a 5th, when the going rate for D- Tackles, as established last week, was a 3rd and a 5th. Although if he does not renegotiate his contract, this trade is off, and the Jets will probably be forced to cut him and his absurd contract.
- Shaun Rogers to the Bengals fell through, and now he, along with Corey Williams, will give the Browns a good, and fat, pair of D- Tackles in the middle of their Defense. They have done a lot of good work in the past week, hopefully this looming Quarterback Controversy between a player with one decent season of experience and an overrated 2nd year player with no experience will not derail what can potentially be an exciting season for them.
- The Jets signed Alan Faneca (another fat guy, but less fat than the other men I have mentioned), to a huge contract. This gives them a solid left side to their offensive line, which hopefully can translate to a Minnesota-esque offensive resurgence. And like Minnesota, it seems like they have no talent at Quarterback, although hopefully Kellen Clemens can ignore his father's legal troubles and become a good Quarterback.
- In other Jets news, they traded Jonathan Vilma to the Saints for what will be a 3rd or a 4th rounder. I'm disgusted with how the Mangini era has played out for Vilma, Let's move on.
- More about the Jets, sorry. Marcus Stroud, who by all accounts is better than Kris Jenkins, got moved to the Bills for the same price as the Jets paid for Jenkins. This is not pleasing to me, but maybe Jenkins will be a better fit in the 3-4 than Stroud would have been. Maybe. Ugh.
- I don't really care who Randy Moss signs with, but if it could be a team that is not located in Dallas or New England I would surely be thrilled.
- The Giants are evidently listening to offers for Jeremy Shockey, but not actively shopping him. This will surely elicit its own post one day, but for now I'll just say, if they can somehow get a 1st rounder for him ( The Saints evidently have offered a 2nd), the Giants should not hesitate. Eli Played far better without Shockey, and Kevin Boss played brilliantly in Shockey's stead.

Fat People Moving Places Revisited
Since last week, plenty has transpired in the sporting world. The NFL Free Agency period has been particularly active. Some thoughts:
