Around The NFL

Nnamdi Awesome-ugha is headed to Philly
Love it, love it, love it. It would have been cool to see him go to the Jets and have Revis and him, but we will have to take Samuel and him. He signed a deal worth $60 million over five years which isn't bad figuring he's the best cornerback in the league. Now the Eagles have a stupid secondary with Asante Samuel, Nnamdi and recently acquired Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Those are 3 Pro Bowl cornerbacks ladies and gentlemen.

Antonio Cromartie back to the Jets
Antonio Cromartie will sign a 4 year, 32 million dollar deal with the Jets. Not a bad deal figuring he's still pretty damned good and can play in return situations too.

Plaxico Burress to Jets
It was said to be between the Steelers and Giants, but Plax decided to spurn his former teams and sign with the convict laden New York Jets for 3 million. This is an alternative to Braylon Edwards, who is surely going to be on another team next year. I don't like Plax, but it will be interesting to see if he can still be an effective receiver in the league.

Cedric Benson is back with the Bengals
He's about the only one who is back. 3 million with 2 million incentives, a 1 year deal.

Plaxico Burress to Giants, Steelers?

Apparently the gun toting wide receiver has his selection of where he wants to go whittled down to 2 teams, The Steelers and the Giants.

I'm not a big fan of Plaxico and don't really want him, but if he comes to the Steelers he can't hurt. At the end of the day he's 6-5 and would be a huge target for Ben in redzone situations.

He spent 5 years in Pittsburgh before the Giants so who knows, it could work, but I don't see him getting more than 600 yards.

I'm going to ignore this, but if Plaxico came back home, I guess I would be alright with it.

Can we stop it with the Plaxicomania BS

Listen any team that brings this guy in is dumb. I don't want to burst anyones bubble, but the man is 2 years removed from the NFL and is 32. No player is going to be that great with those 2 things weighing you down. The only thing that he could be potentially useful for is goal line situations, but thats still a question.

Let's stop acting like this guy was Randy Moss or Terrell Owens, hes a big guy who isn't a game breaker. he never was, and now he certainly he will never be. Anyone (including BMack) who is clamoring at this guy coming to their team is down right dumb. I would rather take a flier on Randy Moss this year than him. I guarantee he gets cut before the season ends.

He's muff cabbage.

Plaxico Burress Released From Jail

Seems like Burress has been away for ever for shooting himself in the leg (haha). Well, he is finally out, and from reports looks in better shape then when he went in. If I was any team I would take a shot on this guy. I think there is a great chance he explodes back on the scene, and I don't see him getting in trouble again. My hope is the Patriots actually take a look because he would be a awesome combo with Tom Brady.

There are a bunch of other rumored teams (Jets, Steelers, Giants, Eagles, ect). If I was the Rams I would take a strong look at this guy, as they could use some WR help. The Redskins are another likely landing spot (and I was to have a guess I would say they are most likely).
