The
NFL offseason has been a period of serious transition. There have been three
teams that have let it be known that they are seriously considering a move to
Los Angeles with the Raiders and Chargers looking to build a privately funded
stadium in Carson which they would share and the Rams looking to build a stadium
in Inglewood on property already owned by the Rams owner.
Some
major players are on the move too. Players like Suh, who went to Miami, was a
major (and expensive) coup for the Dolphins but then the Lions turned around
and traded for Haloti Ngata. Michael Crabtree and Frank Gore may both be
leaving the 49ers after carrying them to the Super Bowl on their backs. Andre
Johnson has been tossed out of Houston, the only team he has played with for
his 12 year career. Jake Locker has retired after a lackluster career and Percy
Harvin hopes to continue his after being released (again) by the Jets. The
Eagles and Rams switched QBs with St. Louis picking up a solid young franchise
QB with Nick Foles and the Eagles receiving trade bait with Sam Bradford.
In
Seattle it has been an up and down ride for the fans with the “Will Lynch
resign?” rumors running rampant before he resigned a 2 year contract the other
day but then the team lost Legion of Boom member Byron Maxwell to the Eagles
which was a bummer but that frown was turned up side today when I found out
that Seattle traded C Max Unger to New Orleans for all-around TE badass Jimmy
Graham. Losing Unger sucks but Graham is THE BEST tight end in the NFL right
now, perfect for those ill-conceived 1-yard TD pass attempts.
