Trades stole the NFL headlines on Thursday.
The Eagles finally shipped quarterback Kevin Kolb to Arizona for cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round draft pick. Kolb, a Stephenville native, is expected to sign a five-year, $63 million contract with $20 million guaranteed with Arizona.
Saints running back Reggie Bush was traded to the Dolphins for safety and special teams standout Jonathon Amaya. Bush was due $11.8 million this season from the Saints but instead will sign a two-year, $9.75 million deal in Miami.
Two years after the Redskins signed defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to a seven-year, $100 million contract with $41 million in guarantees, Washington shipped him to the New England Patriots for a fifth-round pick in 2013.
The Patriots weren't finished. They also made a deal with the Bengals for receiver Chad Ochocinco, then renegotiated his one-year contract to a three-year deal.
