Sunday Drive

  • Plaxico Burress to NYJ: Another weapon for Mark Sanchez, albeit one who's been out of the game for a few years, unless they had a team in prison. Not sure what to make of this yet, other than NYJ pre-season games become 'must see TV'.
  • Mike Sims-Walker to STL: Good, tall WR who's battled injuries his entire career. Goes to a team with a second-year QB, Sam Bradford, and they'll both have to come up to speed VERY quickly on Josh McDaniel's offense without the benefit of OTAs and such. This will be an interesting situation to watch throughout the pre-season.
  • Todd Heap to ARI: Todd's getting up there in years but he'll be far from the primary option, especially if the Cards get Braylon Edwards. Kevin Kolb loves throwing to TEs and his injury last year submarined what should've been Brett Celek's breakout year. Let's stay in the desert and talk about...
  • Tim Hightower to WAS: this forces me to rank Beanie Wells as a first- and second-down back in "The National Football League" (tm Jaws). As you can see by where he ranks, I don't think much of his ability. In fact, the 'zona RB I've ranked ahead of him, Ryan Williams, will be the pass-catching RB. I think Beanie will put him in a good position to succeed, what with his '2 yards and a cloud of dust' ability.
  • James Jones back to GB: He of the inconsistent hands has submarined Jordy Nelson's potential for yet another season. Neither looks appealing now.
