This year’s Free Agency period has started, and players are on the move big time already. Here are some of the moves that have caught our eye so far…

Nate Burleson to the Lions. This is either a stroke of genius or a real stretch, but Stafford needs receiving options. They’ve also added Kyle Vanden Bosch to their defensive line.

Karlos Dansby is now a Dolphin. Miami have made several changes already on the defensive side but Dansby would be a good addition in any case. They’ve also signed Chad Pennington for another year who is a good option as a backup.

In New York, the Jets and Giants have both improved their secondaries with Antrel Rolle joining the Giants and Antonio Cromartie heading to the Jets. Rolle becomes the highest paid safety in NFL history in the process.

Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys finally got to enjoy a win in their new stadium, and while it has only been a week it must have felt like a long one.  A crowd of 90,588 watched them take a 21 – 7 win over the Panthers.

Miami Dolphins
More bad news for the Dolphins today as Chad Pennington may be out for the rest of the season with a dislocated shoulder.

The other Chad – Chad Henne will likely start on Sunday and has to step right in with the pressure of a much needed win on him.

So it all kicks off in a matter of hours! Week 1 is here, so this is our last chance to get our picks for the season published.

Continuing with our Favourite Four series, we move back to the defence to take a look at the linebackers

We reiterate that these are some of our favourite players. We can’t vouch that these will be the best players in absolute terms, have the biggest fantasy football upside or even be any good (though they might be)… but they’re players that we like to watch.

Joey Porter of the Miami Dolphins is the first on our list.

This isn’t a complete look at everything that happened this week. Just some tit-bits to keep us going as week two has now wrapped up.

Our ‘Second Look’ series moves into the AFC, starting in the AFC East. With training camps underway or starting any minute now, there’s still a lot to learn about all the teams at this point.

Refresh your memory with our First Look, and consider: Is there enough information to affect our predictions though?

Moving away from the line, we start a look at the defensive backs.

We can’t vouch that these will be the best players in absolute terms, have the biggest fantasy upside or even be any good (though they might be)… but they’re players that we like to watch.

We start in Miami, with cornerback Will Allen.

Even as a Dolphins fan I have to admire the T-Rex for speaking his mind on his problems with dyslexia. It is revelations like this that give people an honest side that you can relate to.

Rex Ryan the 46 year old new Head Coach of the NY Jets was only diagnosed a couple of years ago, but it goes to show that disability needn’t hold anyone back.

The AFC East was a strange division last year, with things taking twist and turn through the course of the season and ending with the Dolphins on top, and the Patriots missing out. Are we up for a repeat of an unusual final positions and playoff contributions, or will things settle down to the more familiar feel they’ve had of late?

After writing a bit about the International series in London I was reminded about another series played outside the US – the Buffalo Bills Toronto Series.  This years game on the 3rd December will see the New York Jets visit the Buffalo Bills at Rogers Centre Toronto.
