Free Agent Frenzy

As a Giant fan I am not happy with what has happened in the NFL free agent market so far. New York has already lost three members of their starting defense from the Super Bowl. With Mitchell going to the Bills, Torbor going to the Dolphins, and Wilson going to the Raiders, the defense has taken a huge hit. At least they still have that pass rush and Big Blue is currently in the market for their replacements.

I am also unhappy with the Eagles' signing of cornerback Asante Samuel. Many other moves have been made recently. Wide Reciever Bernard Berrian signed with the Vikings, DE Justin Smith signed with the 49ers, the Jets signed OL Alan Faneca and traded for pro bowl DT Kris Jenkins , the Browns locked QB Derek Anderson and provided him with another weapon by signing WR Dante Stallworth, and the Saints strengthened thier defense by trading for LB Jonathan Vilma and signing CB Randall Gay.

I enjoy watching this kind of action in the offseason. It provides entertainment when their are no games being played and it is fun to see all these players in new uniforms come next season.
