Last week was the start of the N.F.L free agency. With big players out there such as; Brian Westbrooke, Brandon Marshall, Karlos Dansby, Terrell Owens, Thomas Jones, Julius Peppers, Dunta Robinson, Antrel Rolle, Chester Taylor, Vince Wilfork, and other big names.

The Jets have many free agents, but last week they made two huge cuts in releasing of veteran and long time Eagle corner back, in Lito Sheppard. Lito Sheppard and the Jets agreed last year in giving Sheppard a four-year, $27.2 million extension through 2013, and next year, he can receive a $10 million signing bonus in March. But the Jets did not take that option, after only one year with the Jets Lito Sheppard was released. I agree with this decision because even though he is a experienced veteran in and off the field, he did not have a good year for the Jets. He is also getting old and does not move like he used to back in his Eagle days. And with young corners as in Darelle Revis and Dwight Lowery there is no need to keep a average player that wont get any better who wants more money, than a young player who can improve and just play for the game and not the money.

Two days later the Jets shocked the N.F.L., and gained a huge prospect and play maker in their already best defense in the league. The Jets signed the explosive, young dynamic corner back as in Antonio Cromartie. Cromartie has been part of the San Diego Chargers since 2006, when signing a 5 year $12 million contract as a rookie in 2006. Cromartie had a break out year in 2008 with a total of 60 tackles, 4 assist, 2 interceptions, and 1 touchdown. He also had a great 2009 season with 31 tackles, 2 assist, 3 interceptions, and starting all 16 games. With him and Darrelle Revis, opposing quarterbacks will have a very hard time next year in finding receivers, and yet again the Jets should have once again a very young defense led by one of the best defensive coach, as in Rex Ryan.

The Jets also made another surprising move two days later with the news of releasing Free Safety as in Kerry Rhodes. Kerry Rhodes then signed a day later with the Arizona Cardinals for a fourth-round pick in this years draft, and a 7th rounder in the 2011 draft. Kerry Rhodes had a up and down season for the Jets, starting every game until the last couple when defensive coordinator and head coach Rex Ryan, felt that he wasn't contributing to the team's success. But after being benched, Rhodes then realized and played great in the last couple of games of the season and the playoffs. The Cardinals should be very pleased in their new acquirement with Rhodes and shouldn't be worried anymore about losing Rolle.
