NFC EAST BM

The NFL is a crazy business. The next two months are my favorite time of the year. We have Spring Training and then Opening Day for Baseball. The NBA Playoffs are coming around. But most importantly we have the molding of each football team with free agency and the draft.

So why not drop an NFC EAST BM on you, the best of the best divisions in the NFL.

The New York Champion Giants:

It is always mind boggling to me to watch a team win then everyone start to leave. The Giants locked up Tom Coughlin... hmmm... Wasn't he the guy who was responsible for making them bad for so long? Now one year and he is a hero. Ok, I still agree with that. They start off free agency by losing Gibril Wilson to the Raiders and Kawika Mitchell to the Bills. But this is what they did last year, they took their time and waited it out and signed the desperation guys who needed a team. But this year, it is so shallow at most of the positions, that this may not work as well this year. So right now nothing to report besides waiting for the annual decision from Michael Strahan and seeing if Eli can pick up a little more accuracy in the offseason.

Next, the Cowboys, with the best record in the NFC last year.

The Cowboys are looking to make some offensive moves this offseason. They are starting by trying to get Javon Walker into town. Javon is said to be unhealthy and may need microfracture surgery. Now that is scary. The Cowboys moved tackle Jason Ferguson to Miami and resigned Flozell Adams. So far their biggest splash has been the signing of Zach Thomas. That could be a very minimal signing based on his injury history.

The Birds:

The Eagles have hit the free agent market big time. They wanted to add to the secondary and did by adding the only big name out there in Asante Samual. This makes Lito Shappard expendable and coule help them land some offensive help in a trade. They released Jevon Kearse and franchised LJ Smith. Last night, they signed Cleo Clemens to a contract to come in and help the D-line. They have lost Thomas Tapeh at fullback, but that position is almost irrelevant in the offense.
Look for a Lito trade soon, and Andy Reid will not let this hang over his head for long.

The Washington Forskins:

The Redskins normally spend and spend. They are the team that makes bad decisions and dumb moves. But this year, they are going to sit back and see what comes to them. They resigned Todd Collins immediatly to make sure they have a back up QB. Washington will look at DJ Hackett and Drayton Florence. The Skins will only give minimal deals to anyone who comes in.
They only have 3.5 million to work with barring any veterans who will take less money this year.

Other news:
Justin Smith got his money! word that this guy is a very overated DE but he got 6 years from San Fran.

And last, the veteran great guy John Lynch will take a pay cut to stay with the Broncos and return as a starting safety. What a guy...
