Tampa Bay Trades Anthony McFarland to the Colts for a second round draft pick. This is a steal for the Colts, but they aren't really raping the Bucs cause of the fact that the Bucs have been waitin for a reason to start Dewayne White, a fast rising star on the Bucs D-line. McFarland is a premire DT and for the Colts to get him for a second round pick is a good job on thier part. Yet another ex-Buc goes to Dungy's team. While McFarland isn't injury prone, he has had quite an alarming number of injuries, so that's the one thing I'd watch out for him. The Bucs also picked up Phillip Buchanon, who was dropped by the Texans. He's not much. Maybe fill in for an injured nickel back and contrubute some on special teams.

I think this is a great pickup for the Colts. Booger is a great player if you ask me. It is nice for the Eagles this weekend though.

I'm glad I have a Buc friend, FINALLY! Now you can take my side when they pick me apart because we suck this year. But Dewayne White won't start because he is a defensive end. Ellis Wyms will be starting in place of Booger.

Colts really needed a tackle with Corey Simon being a pussy and all...

White won't start, but this will give him more playing time. I think it puts him in a better position to step in whenever Wyms gets tied and if Wyms ever gets injured. Even though White is listed as Rice's backup, he's played both the DE and DT postion. Eventually White will be starting somewhere on our line, cause he's just too good not to.

I am so glad Philly did not give him the money he wanted.

Great pickup by the Colts for only a second rounder(McFarland)...Phillip Buchanon may seem like not a big deal, but he's a former first round pick with great speed, so if someone can coach him up maybe he can surprise some people.
