Bengals- Antonio Bryant WR. I know Chad Ochocinco and Carson Palmer lobbied for Terrell Owens. Both players have reputations of petulance in the locker room. However, Bryant is nearly a decade younger, and fits the offense better due to his ability to go deep. Plus, his hands are more reliable than TO's at this point of their respective careers.
Rams- Fred Robbins DT. He's a veteran, familiar with Steve Spagnuolo's scheme, and should fit well with Chris long and Adam Carrikker on the defensive line. This move is more indicative of the direction they're going with the number one overall pick.
Chiefs- Thomas Jones RB. Nice signing. He's the perfect compliment to Jamaal Charles. A tough, grind-it-out between the tackles back compared to Charles's slashing, home run hitting ability.
Patriots- Leigh Bodden CB. Good move retaining his services. After Dunta Robinson, he was the best cornerback on the market. He has a flair for the big play, and has good cover skills.
Colts- Gary Brackett LB. Best for both sides. He's a great 4-3 player, but that form of defense is only run by half the league, so there really wasn't a market for him. Also, he's such a strong leader for the Colts, it didn't make sense to retain him.
Steelers- Ryan Clark S. He's a good hard hitting player, who matches up well with Troy Polamalu in the Pittsburgh secondary.
Titans- Will Witherspoon LB. Good move. He's a versatile player, and can play any of the three linebacker spots, though I think he's best suited for the weak side.
