The NFL season is only days old and it's been an interesting ride thus far. Players are coming and going. Trades are being made And, the New England Patriots have made two moves that has the league talking.

First up is the beefy Albert Haynesworth. You know, the guy who played like a beast when he was in Tennessee but then decided not to show up in Washington after he made a zillion bucks. He's also the one that is one of the most disruptive defensive lineman to play the game in recent years.

Yea, that one.

Just envision him and Vince Wilfork lining up in a 4-3 (which is going to be needed considering the tough challenges they face in the AFC East with the Jets still the team to beat and the Dolphins looking to make a run at the top with the signing of Reggie Bush).

And, just when you though the Kraft Kingdom was done, the Patriots traded for Chad Johnson. You know, Ochocinco. The guy who made up a Hall of Fame jacket and wore it on the sideline after scoring a touchdown. The guy who was on Dancing with the Stars. The guy who had his own TV show with the other NFL loud mouth Terrell Owens.

Yea, that guy.

It appears that Bill Belichick isn't messing around. They made two big moves and something tells me that he's not done.

One thing will be for certain, the locker room will be a lot more interesting this year.
