NFL Free Agency Overnight, Chargers Deal Cromartie

The New York Jets have reached an agreement with the San Diego Chargers to acquire cornerback Antonio Cromartie.

The Jets confirmed the deal Thursday night, but didn't release the specifics of what went down- although it is thought a 2011 draft pick is going to San Diego.

Cromartie was an All-Pro in 2007 and will team with Darrelle Revis in the Jets' secondary, making them possibly ((probably)) the best cornerback tandem in the league. Cromartie easily replaces Lito Sheppard, who was released earlier in the day.

Despite 15 interceptions in four seasons, the Chargers were dissatisfied with Cromartie's performance late last season and in the playoffs. General Manager A.J. Smith made it clear he would try to trade him.

Cromartie and Revis in the same secondary...??? The HQ thinks the Jets got a steal and will contend again in the second season of 2010-2011 as everyone heads to JerryWorld for the Roman Numeral Classic.

Continuing our theme, the next story below is the one where the Carolina Panthers eat $12.5-million to waive Jake Delhomme and have Matt Moore as their leading QB candidate for 2010.

FOSG Delano Little was quite puzzled... as was the HQ...

Carolina also released veteran defensive tackle Damione Lewis... just so you know...
