Trent Bust has changed the market. No doubt
No.

You're forgetting when your Bungles fleeced the Raiders with Cornhole Palmer a few years back. OK, maybe it wasn't that meaningful, only to Cinci anyway.
I don't know how good he is, but I love the move on paper. They need a big nose tackle, and the other DTs need to play less snaps to keep them fresh going forward.
Confirmed. Eagles trade Isaac Sopoaga and a 6th round pick to the Patriots for a 5th round pick. I like it!

It's gonna take at least a first for the Browns to trade Gordon. Talent is too huge, even given the problems.
Nice to see a good WR in town finally. Hope Campbell can keep it going with him.

There's the trade.
Tony G. confirmed as staying in Atlanta. Really sucks for him. Such a great player spending his almost certainly last year on a team that is awful this year.
I don't even care if he didn't go to KC, I wish he could have gone somewhere that would get him into the playoffs again.

That's horrible, made all the sense in the world to ship him back to KC.

Sucks that they talked him out of retirement and then like...just leave him on a sinking ship like that.
This sucks. Would've been nice to have him back and see him finish his career where he started.
Exactly. I mean, as a KC fan I would LOVE for him to come back, but even if he went to like Denver, or GB, or anywhere that had a snowball's chance in hell at doing really well this season I would have been happy. His talent is, imo, wasted completely in Atlanta.

Worse, they paid $3.5 million to swap their 6th for the Patriots' 5th. So they essentially paid $3.5 million to move up about 15 spots or so in the draft.

Vote Sio Moore for NFL Rookie of the Week.
As an Oakland Fan, I have nothing but respect for Tony G. Atlanta shoulda done the classy thing and traded him.

Wow, I misread the deal. What a terrible organization Philadelphia is. Great move for NE I guess. It's probably a non impact move but there is potentially some value there.

I like it. Soap hasnt done anything and I would rather Logan get more snaps. Glad to see them get something for a guy that isnt doing anything for them.
The NFL trade deadline: Taste the excitement!

So they would have been better off having him sit on the bench and not play? In the offseason the Eagles need a NT so they could switch to a 3-4. There was no way to know what would happen in the draft, or even if they could draft a NT if he would pan out. Bennie is playing well now so they no longer need Soap. Better to get something for him then let him waste away.
Yup. Spooky was nothing but a stop-gap veteran NT brought in to buy some time until the young guys were ready. Ideally, you'd like to pay a little less to someone like that, but if I remember correctly the market on free agent NTs this past offseason was pretty dry.
The "terrible organization" part is giving a washed up 33 year old defensive lineman $5m guaranteed.

Oh, there was no market for NT's last offseason. I think every analyst had him as the best available. Not like they didnt have the cap room anyways.
At least he played for the Eagles. *cough* Ratliff *cough*

It's an extra draft pick for a bench player. Most teams would take that.
I guess it's not an extra pick. It's moving up from the top of the sixth to the bottom of the 5th (assuming final records etc.)
Yeah..... Atlanta's office is full of dicks. Your season is essentially over. You're not gonna pass the Panthers most likely, much less NO. Tony G is done after this season. Let him play for a good team.

No, they swapped picks.
Don't care about the money. We are in pretty good shape cap wise with or without Isaac. He was the only real option available in FA for a team looking to switch from 4-3 to 3-4.
Unfortunately it didn't work out with him but Bennie Logan and the younger guys are playing just as well. Good for Isaac too. Good locker room guy who gets to play for a possible contender and definite playoff team.
Plus with Vick not playing much at all this season, his incentive based 1 year contract becomes even less I think.

Lol, i got a buddy on Facebook who I used to work with, he's got three selfies of him in different jerseys (Saints, Jets and Chargers), and each week depending on who wins he changes it and claims he's a diehard fan.

Steelers have waived K Zoltan Mesko.
Good no risk move for the Pats. They desperately need depth at DT. Not a big move, but one that was necessary. They just need bodies at this point.
