As the NFL-buffs of the congregation will tell you, free agency is the period between the scouting combine and the NFL-draft when veterans try to get as much money out of their team as humanly possible. By the book, Washington gave Albert Haynesworth a seven year deal worth in the vicinity of $100 million. Ho-lee shit.
The thing that was most shocking to me was the news that the Patriots traded Mike "I can do it all" Vrabel to the Kansas City Chiefs, where former VP of player personnel, Scott Pioli, now runs the business.
How do you part with someone like Mike Vrabel? The guy has been instrumental on defence, he plays all downs and distances, he plays special teams and he has caught 8 touchdowns as a tight end. He never complains, he goes with the mantra "team first" and he is a veteran presence in the locker room. Unbelievable. This is almost worse to fathom than losing Tom Brady in the first quarter of the season last year. We'll see if this is just another masterpiece by Bill Belichick, but I really don't know...I guess time will tell.
