Big trade for the Redskins, getting an elite quarterback. They will trade back in the first round of the draft and take a left tackle. Risky move for reid and the Eagles, if McNabb does well with the Redskins and the Eagles struggle, he could lose his job.

Donovan Mc Nabb traded by Eagles to the Washington Redskins.  Eagles get a couple of trade picks in return.

I honestly cannot believe that! B Dawks the year before and now Mc Nabb this year, and to the Skins as well! For years they try and build an offence around this man and just when he starts to get the weapons at WR to cause some serious damage they trade him! There must be some serious talent coming through from college this year for that trade!

Its seems a bit condescending at times though but a great insight,

Santonio Holmes is traded to the Jets for a 5th round pick.

Santonio Holmes is traded to the Jets for a 5th round pick.

He is also suspended for the first 4 games of the season, low risk for Jets but he seems bad news.

He is but the Jets coach, like so many before him seems to feel he can make a silk purse out of a sows ear, he has spent the summer signing the dregs of society in terms of questionable characters that play in the NFL.

I believe that his philosophy is that these guys are damaged goods, he pays them below market value because of their behaviour and makes them sign morality clauses and when they fcuk up he cuts them at minimal expense to the club, and if they turn it around and play like the studs they are he and the Jets make out like bandits.

[Capt Pat]

He needs these players to maintain the form they had last season. Sanchez is due a big sophomore slump if Rex doesn't provide him with some help.

[mc_grens]

He definitely doesn't need Tomlinson and Cromartie to show the same form as last year!

I'm sure he'd take Holmes' last year though!

Heyward looks a bit special alrite, lot of hype building about him, homed against Giant also, although the giants held on for the victory, I hope finally for a post season (post Bonds) for the Giants. Hopefully Lincecum and Zito can keep posting them figures through to the all star break.

I'm starting to think Big Ben could be an ex Steeler within the next couple years. Their clearly running out of patience fast. Trading a 26 year old Superbowl MVP after his best season goer a 5th round pick is some shot across his bow. I think there's no way Holmes gets traded if Big Ben isn't in trouble with the law again.

Another AFC east move. Dolphins on verge of signing Brandon Marshall for 2nd rd pick this year and next. Great signing if they can keep him out of trouble.
Patriots sitting quietly watching, im sure they have something major in the pipeline or they could become third best in their division alone.

[AZOffaly]

Adam Schefter has just confirmed this move. 2nd round pick this year and next year for him. Miami needed WR help though.

They are shopping Ted Ginn Jnr as well,
He really hasnt worked out in the NFL at all.
He was a great college player though.

but seriously seems like things are getting worse the more its investigated for Ben. Think he might have left out a few details when he was before roger goodell recently.
