NFL free agency

The NFL is getting shaken up with all this free agency signing. We all know where Peyton Manning ends up is going to be the biggest headline of free agency but there are a lot of other changes going on. Mario Williams signed with Buffalo leaving the Texans with a hole to fill on their defense. The Texans were a solid team last year and probably would have went further in the playoffs last season if Matt Schuab didn't get hurt. So will this hurt the Texans loosing their number one draft pick? What about Randy Moss coming back into the NFL? He joined the 49ers this week. This could be a good thing if Randy Moss actually wants to play. We all know he only gives his all when he wants to. This will also boost Alex Smith's confidence because he now has another threat down the field. Did the Dolphins blow their chance of getting Peyton Manning by trading a player that would have been a good bargaining chip? Brandon Marshall is now a Bear this could be a great fit for him. He is reuniting with his former quarterback Jay Cutler. The Bears needed another wide receiver threat to make their offense more powerful. Megatron gets a 132 million dollar deal it's good to see Detriot knows they need him. He deserves it he is an amazing athlete. Drew Brees lost his left guard Carl Nicks to free agency but the Saints signed the Pro bowl Baltimore guard Ben Grubbs. Is this going to change anything for Drew Brees? He is used to Carl Nicks always being there. Can he go out there and trust a new guard to protect him? The Cowboys are making moves in free agency also.  They signed Kyle Orton as a backup to Tony Romo. But this has potential to lead to a fight in training camp for the starting position. The Cowboys also released Terrence Newman which i believe is a good thing he wasn't as fast as he used to be and was getting old. They signed Brodney Pool to a one year deal to play strong safety. This might add some speed to their secondary. The Eagles decided to stick with DeShawn Jackson for another five years. I hope they don't regret this move and can get his attitude under control. The Giants let go of Brandon Jacobs. He was getting a lot of money to mostly be a third down back. Giants will always find a way to make their team work. People come and go for the Giants all the time but they are still always competitors in the NFC East. Peyton Hillis found himself a new home in the Kansas City Chiefs. He will complement Jamaal Charles. It's good to have another strong back especially with what happened to Charles last season. The Jaguars are trying to fix their team by adding Chad Henne to back up Blaine Gabbert and Laurent Robinson as a down field threat. Maybe this will help open up the field for them so Maurice Jones-Drew can do his thing. So my question is why isn't Carolina making moves? They need to help Cam Newton out he needs a defense so they can win. Cam is a monster but he can not do it all alone he needs help. The scores would never be as close as they were this season if he had a defense to back him up.
