Asante Samuel was young still. I was watching the 2006 AFC Championship this morning, and Samuel made several big plays against Marvin Harrison and Peyton Manning, including the interception return in the first half. He's not Champ Bailey, but he's a good corner.
The Pats have six picks (?) in the first three rounds, so I would imagine that they get themselves some help in the defensive backfield, maybe not on Day One, but within the first three rounds.

Bad? This is great news for Cowboys fans everywhere!! 
. I'm not familiar with the Cowboys defensive line, but it's gonna be interesting to see if Olshansky can still play as effectively without Jamal Williams in the middle. That guy commands so much attention. Either way this sucks for the Chargers.
Are you freakin' kidding me?!? That's a great fit for both parties. The Pats just drastically upgraded their secondary in the past week or so. First Springs, now Bodden. And it's not that either of them independently would have cured the Patriots secondary ills (Springs is a C, Bodden is B-), but together? That's a major improvement.
James Sanders should have a solid year, the front seven should be more effective at rushing the passer... I'm honestly upset about this.

Yeah, really. I read an article somewhere that made a very good point (might have been the one kn posted) that brought up the fact that the best players to ever play sports have been traded from their long-time teams (Favre, Gretzky, etc) and they never once whined about it, and Cutler's only been in the league a few years. The NFL is a business, first and foremost. You're a starting QB for a potential playoff team, grow up.
BTW kingsnation, what do you know about Kevin Burnett?

Well, now the word is that he's not going to show up for OTA's. We'll know for sure whether the stories are true or not if that happens.
At this point, though, what we do know is that he complained about Shanahan being fired, as if the owner of the team is required to run everything through the third year starting quarterback who's never been to the playoffs and has a sub .500 record (never mind the fact that said owner CRIED at the press conference because of how upset he was about the decision), he's bitched and moaned for two weeks now because his name came up in a potential trade (which trade did not happen), and now he might not show up for the first official team function with his new head coach... that's enough for me to make the above declaration.
And here's my problem: If you really care about winning, you do whatever you can to get past conflicts and misunderstandings for the sake of the team, so that you can actually have some success in your career. Especially as the quarterback. So, even if the Broncos (read: Josh McDaniels) were wrong to entertain the idea of trading their starting quarterback, the fact is that they DID NOT TRADE HIM. Perhaps they should have, because if we're still talking about how Jay Cutler is so upset with Broncos management a couple of weeks from now, then it's going to be a huge problem for the Broncos and their fans.
So maybe I'll reserve judgment until next week, when OTA's open up, but if Cutler isn't there, ready to work and set a proper example for his team, then all reservations go out the window, and he'll be an official idiot.
