As everyone know it's free agent season in the NFL and if anyone needs to keep a breast of the latest happenings in the NFL I suggest going to NFL.com or SI.com as they have the best and most comprehensive news and views (and their fantasy staff is pretty good too). Some RMFFL News before I head into the NFL stuff.
So last fall we all remember a trade that was made between the Green Bastards and Hirsch's Hitmen? In case you don't here is a refresher. Hirsch's Hitmen traded Kurt Warner to the Green Bastards for Leon Washington and they agreed to swap draft picks to be decided at a later date. Well that later date is here and the Green Bastards have sent a 3rd round draft choice to Hirsch's Hitmen in exchange for their 5th round choice.
On to the NFL free agent/trade news. Some major shakeups happened recently and here are some that have fantasy relevancy.
- Matt Cassel was traded from the New England Patriots to the Kansas City Chiefs
- Kellen Winslow was dealt from the Cleveland Browns to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Correll Buckhalter and J.J. Arrington were signed by the Denver Broncos (this is only relevant since Denver churns out 1,000 yard RBs like the Rumour Mill churns out rumours)
- Impact Player (or is it Donfin?) favourite Sage Rosenfels was traded from the Houston Texans to the Minnesota Vikings
- Fred Taylor was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars and signed with the New England Patriots
- Marvin Harrison was released by the Indianapolis Colts
- Joey Galloway and Warrick Dunn were released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I hope this little update has whetted everyone's appetites. Expect at least weekly updates on all the goings on in the RMFFL (and NFL).
