Mo' Money

NFL Free Agency opened up today, and already they have been a few notable moves. See? I can write about something other than tits and the failures of those who possess them!

- The New York Football Giants, the Champions of the World, lost Kawika Mitchell, best known for his head-fake of the entire New England offensive line in the Super Bowl, which allowed him to provide one of Tom Brady's more painful hits of the night. Mitchell was a beast for the G-Men recently, and is apparently cashing in on his team's miraculous championship run, signing with the Bufallo Bills this morning. While Big Blue is obviously sad to see him go, this was ultimately a situation where this move had far more potential to help the Bills than it did potential to hurt the Giants.

- After nearly letting their surprise breakout Quarterback slip away, the Cleveland Browns re-signed Derek Anderson for a three-year deal worth $20 million. Fears of turning over the suddenly improving Browns offense to the inexperienced Brady Quinn prompted the Browns to secure Anderson at a salary he couldn't have possibly hoped for anywhere else in the league. Most sources point to Anderson's earlier refusal to accept deals offered by the Browns as merely his desire to field offers from other teams after he became a free agent after midnight last.

- Randy Moss and the New England Patriots have yet to announce a deal, as of the time of this posting. Rumors has it Moss is being looked at by both the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles, although most find it hard to believe the Patriots would allow Moss to move to another franchise. Nevertheless, as of this moment, last year's best Wide Reciever remains up in the air. UPDATE (3/4/08): Randy Moss has re-signed with the New England Patriots in a 3-year deal worth $27 million.

I'm not going to pretend that I will keep updating this as news develops, but I'll hazard the guess that another Champion Giant will be leaving the Meadowlands soon, with Gibril Wilson most likely heading to Oakland. That being said, the Giants will probably recruit Cornerbacks heavily in the draft, and don't be surprised to see at least one mid-level "name" find its way to Big Blue during the offseason.

Frankly, as long as Strahan comes back, I don't give a shit.
