Buccaneers | Galloway To Tampa? - from www.KFFL.com

Rick Stroud, of the St. Petersburg Times, reports Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Keyshawn Johnson could be traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for WR Joey Galloway as part of a blockbuster deal. Johnson confirmed that Buccaneers general manager Bruce Allen has granted permission for his agent to talk to the Cowboys about a possible trade. The move would likely hinge on both Johnson and Galloway agreeing to restructure their $6-million per year contracts. The swap was proposed by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to Allen last week at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, but it's not known whether draft picks are involved in the potential trade.

I wonder if this means that Ian Gold could be gone now?

I wonder if Jessie Armistead would be ok for a short term deal? I'd hate to have a Bryan Cox part 2, but I think Armistead might have another season left. But I wonder if Jeremiah Trotter could also become a cap casualty with all the moves Washington is making? I guess it all depends on the deal they ink Portis to. It would sure be great if Trotter became a casualty in the midst of all these redskin moves.

I would guess that Jevon Kearse is going to end up in Arizona or maybe Philly or Buffalo. With all that cap room, I bet Denny Green is already burning up the phone lines. I sure hope we can get Howard signed to a long term deal before Kearse gets signed for truly stupid amounts of money.

The Keyshaw/Galloway thing just puzzles me. I can't for the life of me figure that out. But as it involves a division rival, it seems worth mentioning. Kffl is also reporting that Fiedler has been in contact with the Bucs.

Is it just me, or is anyone else waiting for the Saints to make a move or at least make some noise before things get too far along?
