Kolb to the Cardinals, Young Officially Gone From Tennessee, Haynesworth and Ochocinco to the Pats? (and more)

A couple of expected moves were made today in the NFL along with some unexpected ones. One of the expected moves was Kevin Kolb going to Arizona. He joins joins the Cardinals as part of a trade which sends Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, a CB, to the Eagles along with a 2nd round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Kolb was supposed to be the next QB starter in Philly until he got hurt and Michael Vick wowed everyone in his place. Now he takes over the Cardinals and gives them a chance for a postseason. Both sides benefit as the Cardinals get a starting QB and the Eagles get a CB to help on defense.

Another expected move was the Titans releasing Vince Young. Young was an alright QB with the team while having a noticeable winning record but he was too drama filled for the club. They now have Jake Locker for the future and Matt Hasselbeck for the present. As for where Vince Young will go, I can't say. My guess is a team that has a questionable starter as QB and needs a solid #2 man just in case.

The unexpected moves of the day both involved the Patriots. The Pats seemingly don't mind dealing with drama as they have acquired two interesting characters to say the least. First is Albert Haynesworth, the DT who just couldn't get along with Mike Shanahan of the Redskins. The other is another storied Diva: Chad Ochocinco, himself. What possessed Bill Belichick to make these moves? Who knows. Maybe Belichick thought that he managed Randy Moss alright and that he could handle two more players with off field issues. Good luck to him.

Other moves of the day included the Dolphins getting Reggie Bush from the Saints in a trade. A solid move for Miami as the next step may be getting Kyle Orton. The Bears traded one of Jay Cutler's favorite targets, TE Greg Olsen, to the Panthers. Passing in Chicago might go down as a result. Lastly, the Texans have agreed to a deal with CB Johnathan Joseph for 5 years $48.75 Million. The Texans needed to sure up the DB's to at least challenge Peyton Manning and they have to a degree.

Free Agents can sign with their teams tomorrow as many of the previous deals reached in the past few days will be ratified. Kyle Orton still hasn't been moved from Denver yet. That's something to watch out for.
