Good home for both of them! Both teams can really use these guys... Ofcourse Jhonnie better step his game up against those young guys... Niners are due for a stand out reciever..

I smell a big things for Chad in New England. I'd be just our luck that he'll do the things that made us go after him 2 years ago this year for the Pats. Great moves for both teams

I wonder if they're only going to use CMorton as the Special Teamist. Any chance he'll do anything else?
