NFL Offseason Moves, Part Two

Now just picture T.J. Houshmandzadeh in a Seahawks jersey. Feels weird don't it?

Well get used to it, because this former Bengal just signed a $40 million contract with Seattle. The Seahawks have just gained a huge weapon at the WR position, and the Bengals have lost a player that they didn't know how to use.

The Bengals will be OK though, they still have Chad Johnson, who will more than likely have another dull season.

 

Ward leaves the Big Apple for the Bay...and no not the Green Bay!

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have taken RB Derrick Ward, former New York Giant, and signed him to a four-year $17 million contract.

The former back-up to RB Brandon Jacobs, who rushed for only 67 more yards than Ward, has stated that Tampa Bay was his "first choice". It would be a real dumb move to not have Ward starting over fellow RB's Earnest Graham and Cadillac Williams, who spend more time nursing injuries than nursing the pigskin while running up the middle.

 

Matt Cassell is headed to Kansas City, but what's the big deal?

Now that the recent big news is out, I would like to pose this question: What is the big deal with QB Matt Cassell going to the Kansas City Chiefs?

In his first season—correct me if I'm wrong—did he break milestone records?

Did he spark the theory of a QB competition next year with Brady?

Did he even make the playoffs?

NO.

This is a guy who played a season with a team with a lot of talent around him, and he was mediocre at best. I didn't even get to the part where I talk about the Chiefs.

Or do I even need to?

Their only two wins were against Oakland and Denver—not exactly the cream of the NFL crop.

I will make an extremely early prediction in saying that Matt Cassell, and the amazing Chiefs, go .500 next season. Which is sadly, a big improvement.
