The Jets had a first-hand look at the best and worst of Antonio Cromartie long before they acquired the talented but inconsistent cornerback from San Diego early Friday morning.
Of course, they are hoping for more of the former now that Cromartie will be wearing green and white after the Jets dealt a conditional third-round pick in 2011 to the Chargers to obtain him.
On Sept. 22, 2008, Cromartie latched onto a Brett Favre pass that had been juggled by Laveranues Coles and sailed 52 yards for a touchdown, showing off the ballhawking skills that had helped him garner a career-high 10 interceptions and All-Pro honors in 2007.
But in his last game as a Charger on Jan. 17, Cromartie was slow, seemingly tentative, to fill a hole in run support despite not being blocked on...
Patriots Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
This has been an interesting winter thus far for the Patriots in the sense that they've done a great job keeping their own house in order without making much of an impact on the free-agent market outside of New England.
First, they took care of the biggest need by re-signing Vince Wilfork at the start of the free-agency signing period. Next up, they brought back guard Stephen Neal, who once considered retirement, and also re-upped with running back Kevin Faulk, linebacker Tully Banta-Cain and cornerback Leigh Bodden.
These moves aren't coincidental. The four players who were quickly re-signed were among the top performers in a season that ended in disappointment and shock with a playoff loss to Baltimore.
Wilfork's impact is obvious.
Dolphins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
While the Dolphins netted a playmaker on defense with the addition of Cardinals tackling machine Karlos Dansby, they're still in desperate need of one on offense.
It's time for the Ted Ginn wait to end and for stubborn vice president of football operations Bill Parcells to go against his 22-year history of mostly neglecting receivers in the first round.
Other than Mark Ingram and Terry Glenn, a Parcells-led war room shuns receivers in Rd. 1, but that said, the Dolphins inability to score in big chunks last year eventually sapped the defense's strength and led to several fourth-quarter collapses.
Despite the presence of a strong-armed quarterback in Chad Henne, the Dolphins managed just six touchdown passes to wide receivers, including just one to the underachieving...
Bills Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
With new general manager Buddy Nix committed to rebuilding the Bills through the college draft, acquiring more picks has become a topic of discussion as the off-season rolls along.
Buffalo, which has 10 picks in the April draft, is in position to add a few more were it willing and then able to enter into discussions with other clubs about trades.
Strong safety Donte Whitner, the No. 8 overall pick in 2006, and running back Marshawn Lynch, No. 12 overall in 2007, are two players whose careers hit a crossroads last season and could become bait in trade talks.
The play of Buffalo's defensive secondary was among the few highlights of last season's 6-10 finish, making Whitner expendable.
He hasn't been a bad player - just not the impact player people expected of a...
