We are just part of the way into NFL Free-Agency and there has already been quite a bit of action. The big noise has been about the Deep-pocket Redskins signing Albert ‘the head stomper” Hanesworth for a bazillion dollars. There is also a lot of buzz about 2 quarterbacks that might move. If the Cardinals don’t get serious Kurt Warner might end up a 49er, and the new Denver Sheriff has ticked off Mr. Cutler and now he might move.
But in my opinion, the best fit move happened last night when the Seattle Seahawks picked up T.J. Houshmandzadeh. The Seahawks have been close for the last several years but the one piece that has really been missing is a big play maker Wide out. They got him yesterday. Their running game is slowly improving with Julius Jones and T.J. Duckett, and they will likely look to shore that up further in the draft. They will likely continue with a tandem backfield like so many other NFL teams. Now they have a big play receiver for veteran Matt Hasselback to hook up with and spread the field. Matt still has a strong accurate arm and has really needed someone like T.J. to really make this offense click.
T.J. got a good deal too as he got out of the disaster Bengals franchise and out of the drama queen shadow of Chad “Ocho Cinco” Johnson. He is 31, but I believe his best year may be yet to come, this year. He will be the go-to guy in this offense, and will thrive. He will be a top 5 or 6 receiver in the league in 2009. I for one will look to get him again in my fantasy leagues.
That’s what’s rolling around in the DOME for now!
