Stompy Gets Signed???

Reportedly the number one free agent of the NFL has already agreed to terms, three days before the Free Agency Period will begin. Lance Zierlein, a Houston area journalist, has broken the story (link here) that defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth will sign with the Washington Redskins. The former Titan/head-stomper joins a long list of Daniel Snyder's big free agent expenditures over the last few years.

Really Vikings? Really?!?

Also, Houston is going to go ahead and trade backup QB Sage Rosenfels to the Minnesota Vikings for a fourth round pick in the 2009 Draft. The Iowa State alum appears to be the starter for this team (can't be worse than the Tavaris Jackson/Gus Ferrote experiment of last year). My only question is, can Sage Rosenfels be the guy to turn the Vikings from a first round playoff loser to a Super Bowl contender? I'm just not seeing this working out...

The NFL Combine will come to a close today. NFL Network will be showing the workouts of the defensive backs all day tomorrow if you're interested. Top prospects to watch for tomorrow include South Carolina S Emmanuel Cook, Oregon S Patrick Chung, Ohio State CB Malcom Jenkins, and Illinois CB Vontae Davis. For those at work, the coverage is also available online at nfl.com


Also, big news in impending free agency... Longtime Indianapolis Colt wide receiver Marvin Harrison will reportedly be released this week. Any suggestions on some teams that might be looking for a handsy veteran like Marvin?

UPDATE - 2/24/09 5:30
Marvin Harrison was released today by the Indianapolis Colts. By cutting Harrison, the NFL's second all-time leading receiver in receptions made, the Colts will save themselves seven million dollars next year.
