Mandatory Monday: The Kolb Delusion

Kevin Kolb to Buffalo, Carson Palmer to Arizona, Matt Flynn to Seattle, Ryan Fitzpatrick to Tennessee, swing your partner round and round. What I want to know is: what did Drew Stanton do in past life, set fire to London or something?

RSP Writer Draft Update

The RSP Writers Project draft is now midway through the 11th round, so I thought I would link the results so far for FO readers to discuss. For those of you who didn't read about this project earlier, an explanation: Over on Matt Waldman's site, 32 different NFL writers are building teams through a straight draft. The idea is to find value while also building a team around a coherent philosophy. Writers can choose to build for now, or build for the future. Each writer is giving an explanation for his picks as well.

Palmer, Flynn Deals Finalized

Carson Palmer has been traded to Arizona for... wow, this is not a lot of compensation... a swap of 2013 late-round picks and a conditional seventh-rounder in 2014. Yes, this is the same guy who was traded for a first-round pick a couple years ago. Palmer isn't the same quarterback he was back before the injuries, but he was roughly league average a year ago, which makes him a million times better than the quarterbacks who played for Arizona. He'll be replaced in Oakland by Matt Flynn, acquired from Seattle yesterday.

Matt Waldman RSP Available Now!

Our own Matt Waldman finally delivered his RSP last night after thousands of hours in the tape den. It goes without saying that we endorse the product whole-heartedly, and as someone who often doesn't put in a lot of time watching the college game during the NFL season, this is my best way to catch up on the actual strengths and weaknesses of every draftable skill player across the country. 10 percent of each sale is donated to Darkness to Light, a non-profit devoted to preventing sexual abuse in communities across the country. It's a must-read. Do yourself a favor and pick this up.

MMQB: Palmer and Flynn

In this week's Monday Morning Quarterback, Peter gives his take on the impending and inevitable-seeming moves of Carson Palmer to Arizona and Matt Flynn to Oakland. He also tells us why he believes Darrelle Revis will be traded to Tampa and sends good thoughts in the direction of former FO staffer Will Carroll, who's recovering from a recent heart attack.

Tony Romo Signs Extension; More Guaranteed Money Than Flacco

The Dallas Cowboys have signed Tony Romo to a "six-year" extension (starting in 2014) for $108 million. It will significantly lower his 2013 cap number but also pay him $55 million guaranteed -- surprisingly, that's more guaranteed money than the Ravens gave Joe Flacco earlier this offseason. How do the two compare? (Click to read more.)
