Sorry for the inconvenice of not having my witty sports opinions on the NFL Trades and Free Agent signings... Truth be told, I am busier than Antonio Cromartie on a Saturday Night. Speaking of Mr. Cromartie, he was involved in one of the big trades over the weekend.
CROMARTIE TO THE JETS: I like this deal a lot of the Jets who had to give up chicken scraps to get this guy who is 6'3 and has a ridiculous wing span. Oh also might I mention that he will be the second-best corner on this team playing aside Darrelle Revis? Will there be any team that will be able to compete with the Jets secondary next year. Maybe the Colts' receiving core but that's the only one that comes to mind. In my opinion, the Jets have moved past the New England Patriots in terms of the best team in the AFC East. Also if they add Adalius Thomas who thrived in Rex Ryan's system... look out.
KERRY RHODES TO THE CARDINALS: One of the more interesting moves of the weekend was the Jets who just brought in a great cornerback ship out their top free safety. I can understand the move because Rhodes has been sort of a headache for the Jets in the last couple of years and I get the Cardinals to replace Antrel Rolle, yet the Cardinals seem to be rebuilding so I have no idea why they would give up draft picks to get Rhodes.
ANQUAN BOLDIN TO THE RAVENS: Two things finally happened in the NFL. Anquan Boldin is no longer second banana to Larry Fitzgerald therefore he is finally going to get to prove if he really is a number one receiver. Second thing, the Ravens actually have a receiver to throw the ball to and actually catch it (here's to you Derrick Mason!). I think Boldin will excel in that offense that is mostly run first but now, the Ravens can be more diverse with what they do on offense in having a top 10 receiver and running back. Not to mention, this year becomes put up or shut up for Joe Flacco. Best pick up of the free agency so far in my opinion.
