Back to the Big Apple....

Plaxico Burress is back in New York, but he won't be wearing blue this time. The New York Jets have signed the WR to a one year deal. He will line up opposite former Pittsburgh teammate Santonio Holmes in taking the place of Braylon Edwards.

I'm guessing the Giants are now going to sign FA WR Steve Smith to a new contract, since their quest for Plax is over.

Rumor over

Giants DE Osi Umeyiora has appeared at camp and is either not holding out or has been given a new deal. Most likely he will not be traded to Baltimore.

This just in...

The Philadelphia Eagles just came out of nowhere and signed CB Nnamdi Asomugha (Oakland). This does not bode well for the Giants, or for Dallas for that matter.

In other news today....

49ers sign K David Akers (Philadelphia)

Giants sign C David Baas (San Francisco)

Eagles sign DE Jason Babin (Tennessee)

Chiefs sign WR Steve Breaston (Arizona)

Bengals sign QB Bruce Gradkowski (Oakland)

Jaguars sign S Dawan Landry (Baltimore)

Texans sign S Danieal Manning (Chicago)

Panthers sign K Olindo Mare (Seattle)

Rams sign S Quintin Mikell (Philadelphia)

Dolphins sign QB Matt Moore (Carolina)

Bills sign WR Brad Smith (New York Jets)

Saints sign RB Darren Sproles (San Diego)

Rumor has it that disgruntled NY Giants DE Osi Umenyiora will be dealt to the Baltimore Ravens.

Some good FA still available....

WR Steve Smith (NYG)

RB Joseph Addai (Indianapolis)

LB Akin Ayodele (Buffalo)

RB Tiki Barber (NYG)

RB Cedric Benson (Cincinatti)

QB Marc Bulger (Baltimore)

DE Shaun Ellis (NYJ)

WR Braylon Edwards (NYJ)

DT Tommie Harris (Chicago)

DT John Henderson (Oakland)

TE Donald Lee (Green Bay)

TE Zach Miller (Oakland)

More to come I'm sure.

One more update

The New England Patriots have traded a 5th round pick to Washington for DT Albert Haynesworth and traded with Cincinnati for WR Chad Ochocinco. Both are problem players; can Coach B control them? We shall see...

Rumors

I'm testing the email option for this blog. Here's what's going on today in NFL rumors.

Plaxico Burress will meet with Tom Coughlin on Friday then Mike Tomlin on Saturday. It is looking like he will reunite with one of his former teams. The Mara family and the Rooney family are not known for putting up with crap so I can't understand why NY and Pittsburgh are even giving Plax a shot.

The Miami Dolphins are nearing a few trades. One will send Saints RB Reggie Bush to Miami and another will acquire QB Kyle Orton from the Broncos. The Phins getting Bush is good for us Giant fans because Miami put in a big bid to grab Giant's FA Ahmad Bradshaw.

It appears the the Eagles will be sending QB Kevin Kolb to play in the desert for the Cardinals.

The Seahawks have signed two big free agents in picking up RG Robert Gallery (Oakland) and WR Sidney Rice (Minnesota). The QB is still up in the air as they have Charlie Whitehurst competing with Tavaris Jackson for the starting role.

The quest for the best CB in the league continues and it seems to be a three city race right now. Nnamdi Asomugha is being sought by the 49ers, Texans and aggressively by the NY Jets. In NY he would pair up with the next best corner in the league Darelle Revis, and be playing for Rex Ryan who preaches defense first.

That's all I've got for now. I'm sure there will be more at the end of the day.

Are you ready?

There are 500 free agents, including unsigned rookies; there are high profile players demanding a trade; there are former players coming back into the NFL after an absence. Let's get it going!
