If you haven't heard or followed the news, there are a few free agency/trade tidbits that recently happened and will impact The Cowboys for the 2009 season.
For one, Anthony Henry has been traded to Detroit for none other than 'Bradie James basher', Jon Kitna. Although Kitna wouldn't be one of my top choices, I feel much more confident with him behind Romo than Brad Johnson or Brooks Bollinger.
Chris Canty has also been signed by The New York Giants. There's not much Dallas could do to retain him since he was a free agent and most of the restricted tenders have been placed. It will be sad to see him go.
Atlanta linebacker Keith Brooking has been signed by Dallas to replace Zach Thomas, who apparently wasn't comfortable in Wade Phillips' scheme last year and vocalized that after the loss in Philly.
Another free agent, Kevin Burnett, might also be testing the waters. Burnett has scheduled a trip to Oakland to see what The Raiders are willing to do for him. With Brooking joining the team, Burnett's future in Dallas definitely looks grim.
That's pretty much everything that directly impacts Dallas for '09, but throughout the division there have been some shocking moves as well.
Of course, Haynesworth will be joining The Redskins, and joining him is DeAngelo Hall, who has just signed a multi-year deal. These two players should bring a load of memories in relation to Dallas, including Haynesworth stomping on Gurode's helmetless head, and DeAngelo Hall accusing T.O. of spitting on him.
Ok, so playing Washington is going to be tough for a while, but meanwhile in Philly, things are looking up.
The Eagles have traded Lito Sheppard to The Jets and lost Brian Dawkins to Denver. When you think of Eagles defense, those two players were at the top of the list. This was a shocking move that upset many Philly fans but thankfully gave the rest of the NFC East reason to breath a little easier.
