Some notable picks include:

  • The New England Patriots receive the first compensatory pick (the 33rd in the 3rd round) for losing cornerback Asante Samuel to the Philadelphia Eagles.
  • The New York Giants received the 36th pick in the third round for losing safety Gibril Wilson, linebacker Kawika Mitchell and linebacker/defensive lineman Reggie Torbor.
  • The Cincinnati Bengals and Tennessee Titans each received four picks (the maximum allowed) after losing six players each.

The Redskins landed the big fish in this year’s free agency pond signing DT Albert Haynesworth to a seven year, $100 million dollar deal with $41 guaranteed. Many are speculating that this deal will not last past year four, but regardless the move instantly makes the Redskins defensive line one of the best in the NFC.

Next came the re-signing of Deangelo Hall to a six year $55 million deal. Hall signed with the Redskins midway through last season after being cut by the Raiders. The Redskins may live to regret this signing.

Lastly, the Skins signed offensive Guard Derrick Dockery, who was recently released by the Bills, to a five year $26 million deal. Dockery, who left the Redskins two years ago to sign with Buffalo, returns to his former team and should fit right in with Joe Bugel’s system that hasn’t changed much since he left.

Starting quarterback Kerry Collins re-signs with the Tennessee Titans. A good move for both Collins and the team. Unless a desperate team needed to break the bank, a 2 year 15 million deal for the aging veteran is a good haul for Collins.

Steelers guard Chris Kemoeatu spurned an offer from the the New York Jets and signed a $20 million, five year deal to remain with the Super Bowl champions.

The Denver Broncos filled their running back need by signing signed Correll Buckhalter and JJ Arrington to presumably split time next season. Just when fantasy owners thought the Denver running back situation may clear up.
