This short and crazy signing period has been great for a lot of teams, but has hurt some of their division rivals...

Kolb to the Cardinals- We all knew that eventually Kevin Kolb would end up in Arizona. Some of us dreamed of Kolb throwing the ball to Larry Fitzgerald and what it would do for a fantasy teams, but the Rams aren't excited. Before this trade, the Rams were the clear favorites to win the NFC West. Not that they can't now, but it will just be more difficult with a QB that could possibly be better then Sam Bradford in the division. It all comes down to the QB if you want to win. St. Louis couldn't win on the road last year (they were 2-6) and they will have to turn that around if the want to win the West. 

McNabb to the Vikings- Right after the lockout ended, I listed five things that would happen in 2011. One of those guarantees was that the Lions would make the playoffs and only if QB Matthew Stafford can stay health. I might want to back up on my predictions because the NFC North just got a lot more difficult. The Vikings traded to sixth round picks to the Redskins for Donovan McNabb. Even though Sidney Rice left Minnesota, McNabb will still have Percy Harvin, Vinsathe Shiancoe, and a running back named Adrian Peterson. Even if Stafford is able to stay healthy, the Vikings will be a really tough team to beat for a wild card spot. Sorry Detroit, but it just seems like you guys can't catch a break. 

Johnson to the Patriots- This has been the most surprising trade of the week. Nobody would of guessed that the flamboyant Chad Johnson would be a Patriot and would have to refrain from using twitter for the upcoming 2011 season. Even though Johnson is over rated, he now has what he never had in Cincinnati. A Hall of Fame QB throwing him the ball (no offence Carson Palmer). What is bad about this for the Jets is that after they re-signed Santonio Holmes, they sat around waiting for Nnamdi Asomugha to make a decision on where he wanted to go while the Patriots made a splash in free agency. Everyone was almost certain it was New York, until Asomugha chose Philadelphia. Now for the Jets, they have lost Brad Smith and Braylon Edwards is apparently next. Re-signing Antonio Cromartie is key to the Jets to fill the hole that Asomugha was supposed to take. Not even Darelle Revis can cover all those talented WR's in New England himself. 

Asomugha to the Eagles- For this whole week, free agent Nnamdi Asomugha held every team that wanted him hostage. That included the Jets who basically let two of their best players go. That includes the 49ers, who released Nate Clements in order to sign Asomugha. The team that wasn't held hostage, the Eagles, signed the biggest prize in free agency to date. Even Philly's rival, the Cowboys, nearly landed Asomugha before the Eagles flew in and snatched him. Now Dallas has to overcome the Eagles "dream team" in order to bounce back from a disappointing 2010 campaign. Not only did the Eagles sign Asomugha, but they also got Jason Babin, Cullen Jenkins, DRC, and they could even get Plaxicco Burress. Yikes Cowboys fans.
