There has been a great deal of player movement in these early hours of free agency. As I did last year I am going to try and keep track of the major transactions and put the players in their respective new uniforms in Madden 09.

I’m attempting to wait until the deals have been made official and have a bunch more ready to go that are approaching that point. This is just the first set. Look for another Saturday evening and additional ones as warranted. Be sure to leave your thoughts on the impact of these moves whether they be related to the NFL or Madden.

      I just noticed that! That's funny. I guess that lineman has a performance enhancer. An extra arm to keep out the defense.

        The collision detection in Madden is SWEET! So authentic and life-like.

    Haynesworth is a great player and a good pickup for the Redskins. Defense hasn't been the achilles heal of the Redskins in recent year though. The Redskins problem is that they do not know who they are. As an NFL team you have to decide what kind of team you will excel at and fill in those pieces. For instance NE is a patient team that invest in WR's and RB's who are better catcher's than runners (even thought they had a great year last year with YAC) and PIT is a improvisational team that invest in Wr's and TE's that can read defenses and find soft spots. WAS needs to decide what they want to be that is why they have so many issues year in and year out. I know that they have constantly changed their coaches yearly, but from the film that I watched last year the Redskins changed their offensive philosophy 3 different times which is unheard of, with just one coach. They just have to choose their direction ad stick with it and build around that philosophy. A good team to mention in doing this are the Denver Broncos with Shannahan they were always in the race because they had a simple philosophy of shoring up the run and stopping the pass.

    Done deal Brian Dawkins is a Denver Bronco and Matt Cassel is a KC Chief for a 2nd round pick

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/Sacrifice Sacrifice

      "Cassel is the second part of the trade that sent Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel to the Chiefs on Friday. In exchange, the Patriots acquire the Chiefs' second-round pick (34th overall) in the 2009 NFL draft.

      The agreement is contingent on both players passing their physicals. " – ESPN.com

      Holy crap!!! That is a STEAL for Kansas City. I have a couple buddies from KC and they're stoked (but when you win 2 games a year, that'll happen).

    Trust me Winslow had a terrible attitude. The owner was furious that a player who could have been cut when he broke is leg and contract in a motorcycle accident would complain about loyalty. On top of all that he only did 1 thing well which is receiving. He was a sub par blocker and a bad influence so he will not be missed.

      Gotta be tough to not even be close to being as good as your pops.

      …now if only Braylon Edwards could learn to hold onto a ball.

    Has anybody seen the Albert Haynesworth contract? He gets $28 million in year 7 of his deal. Talk about back loaded. Good luck seeing that money. He'll be a free agent in a few years.

    1st. Are these jersey numbers right?
    2nd. Why aren't the Bears signing anyone of significance other than another OT. A horrible one at that from Carolina.

  • Deathbat

    Is there anyway someone here can set up a madden roster update with these free agent moves? Or do we all have to do them ourselves?

    And Cory, I hear ya… it's a lame move, but the Bears never do anything exciting. I remember last year the exciting move was signing Marty Booker. They wont make any exciting moves, and they wont make any exciting draft picks either. We can dream though…
