With the lockout finally at an end, big moves have been made with big names in new places. Reggie Bush has took his talents to South Beach, Chad Ochocinco & Albert Haynesworth have joined Tom Brady in New England, Donovan McNabb has found new life with Vikings & Matt Hasselbeck is now a Titan. I mean I am just scratching the surface on all the moves that actually went since the NFL & the players have reached an agreement to end the lockout. But there is one team in the league that has acted completely out of character this "short" offseason... That team is the Philadelphia Eagles.

| The "Vick" Effect |
The Eagles have the most exciting & probally the most popular football player is quite a while in quarterback Michael Vick. His pressence alone has attracted the likes of "shutdown corner" Namdi Asomugha, "pass rusher" Jason Babin, "wildcat extraordinaire" Ronnie Brown, "Super Bowl Champ" Cullen Jenkins & lets not forget how Vick with his play made it possible to ship disappointing quarterback Kevin Kolb to Arizona for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
The Eagles have not brought in so many pro bowl players since the offseason of 2004 when they brought in Terrell Owens, Jovon Kerse & Jeremiah Trotter. That resulted in a collision course with the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. Should we be shocked if that is the match-up in this season's Super Bowl? Absolutely not. Now don't get me wrong, Green Bay is the team to beat, but with moves that Philly & New England have made, baring injury, these are the 2 most dangerous teams in football. They each have elite quarterbacks, big time playmakers on offenses & both teams has upgraded their defense with All-Pro talent.

| Championship Duo? |
Teams like the Jets, Cardinals & Bears have also made some impactful moves to improve their teams as well. Which means we just might have the most exciting season of football we've have in quite some time. The NFL is back & in a big way.
