While the last post focused entirely on the Patriots and trading Matt Cassel there are other big offseason topics to discuss. For starters the quarterback trade that seemed to go virtually unnoticed.
The Cowboys Sent Anthony Henry packing to Detroit for John Kitna. It is funny how there was such little talk about this deal because of Cassel because there are so many factors that come about because of this trade.
The Lions have just about given the keys to Matthew Stafford, and told him it is his team. With Dan Orlovsky and Kitna gone all that is left is Culpepper and Drew Stanton.
Meanwhile the Cowboys are taking away from a secondary that is already in rough shape. With the Roy Williams saga continuing in Dallas, and the Pacman Jones experiment already a huge bust the Cowboys seemed willing to give up a starting cornerback for a backup quarterback far too easy.
Unless this is Jerry Jones way of putting the pressure on Romo. After going from a man who could do no wrong to constant debates of whether or not he is overrated in a year, there seems to be more pressure for Romo to live up to that contract or else he is gone.
Staying in the division, it seems everyone outside of Dan Snyder's head does not agree with the amount that Albert Haynesworth was given to play in Washington. There is a good reason for doing this though. So that no one would notice the ridiculous contract that DeAngelo Hall was given.
Hall did not even spend a full season with Washington, and has been troublesome with other teams, and cut by THE RAIDERS, but was so impressive by Snyder he receives $22.5 million guaranteed. Who knows this may be a great offseason signing that helps the Redskins return to glory. But as we have seen before, big signings and trades did not lead to championships in Washington.
