2011 NFL Free Agency-Part 3

Tiki working out for the Dolphins.

Derrick Mason with the Jets.

Jets and Eagles are the winners in the big name free agency game.

Eagles made a lot of huge-name signings but also lost some good players and still have some holes.

They lost Stewart Bradley, Quinton Mikell, Ernie Sims, Omar Gaither, Rocca, Akers. Now huge names but they're lost starters.

Now Mike Patterson and Jeremy Maclin could have serious health issues that could keep them out for a while. Winston Justice just visited Dr. James Andrews because his rehab is taking longer than expected...never a good sign. DeSean Jackson...who knows with him...holding out, always an injury risk, will be behave himself?


Plus if Vick goes down...there goes the season. Vince Young will not take them to the playoffs even.

When looking at the FA additions, sure, they "win" on paper like we usually do. When looking at their roster in its entirety and accounting for losses too, they're not as invincible as the past week's media buzz might lead you to believe.

Yeah, they'll probably win the division but they're nowhere near SB favorites to me. Green Bay, Atlanta and New Orleans are all superior.


Bad news for Patterson - needs brain surgery.

Looks like the Jets may be signing Derrick Mason and letting Cotchery go. Plax and Mason..that's a curious move

That would be a stupid move, I feel.

Still man McNabb picked a terrible time to go to Minnesota. God knows who will be protecting his blind side, his number one receiver is Percy Harvin, half of that dominating D-Line is now gone. The only good things about that team are Leslie Frazier and AD.

Maybe Phil "False Start" Loadholt.

For what it is worth, I read an article (http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/redskins-watch/2011/jul/20/right-tackle-ryan-harris-warm-redskins-reunion-sha/) in which Harris seemed to be very positive about coming to work with Shanny again but was concerned about an opportunity to start, as he was targeting teams clearly in the market for a tackle.

I'm not disappointed about missing out on Harris. I wanted him as our fallback option when it looked like Jammal Brown would get paid by another team, but with Brown returning, we do not need Harris. He's also a big injury risk. He knew Mike Shanahan's offense, but he'd be a downgrade from Jammal.

Yeah, I know, I don't think not getting Harris is a major miss. But he would have made good depth. If he's just a backup, his troublesome injury history is less important.
