-What's the Marv Levy rule: the team the free agent leaves is hurt more than the team free agent goes to is helped. I really can't think of a better example if this than Albert Haynesworth going to the Redskins. The Titans have great depth at defensive tackle, but it's certainly unproven how well Jason Jones will play with more snaps and the Titan's free agent signing, Jovan Haye regressed last season in Tampa.
The Haynesworth deal is certainly forcing the Redskins to rework their roster a bit. The Redskins live and die by their annual contract restructuring binge and it looks like this time it may have cost them Jason Taylor. Yes, Jason Taylor's main gripe was the amount of time he was required to stay in Ashburn for offseason workouts. But the fact that the Redskins were asking him to restructure his deal was directly effected from the Haynesworth signing.
The Redskins have to play this game every offseason. Ask veterans to restructure their deals so they can fit their new signings under the cap. They've done a great job of skirting the cap and certainly have one of the League's best capologists in Eric Schaffer, but they still haven't learned their lesson. Just because you can creatively fit yourself under the cap whilst signing veteran free agents doesn't always mean you should.
-I'll give the Jets this: Their at least trying, the only way they know, to be strong up the middle. With the signings of SS Jim Leonhard and ILB Bart Scott, that gives them Kris Jenkins at nose tackle, Scott and David Harris at the inside 'backer spots, and Leonhard and Kerry Rhoades at the Safeties. The Jets have plenty of holes, just none there.
-Hey Redskins, there was a reason the Bills released G Derrick Dockerry. After having a superb 2007, he really regressed last year.
