Raiders tender Frye
March 5, 2010
The News
The Raiders have placed a low tender on Charlie Frye, according to the Contra Costa Times. It is worth $1.226MM.
Our View
A team would have to give up a third-round pick as compensation to sign Frye away from Oakland, which is highly unlikely. He will compete for a backup role at quarterback in 2010, and will likely be slated for clipboard duty as the third option.

Cromartie dealt to Jets
March 4, 2010
The News
Antonio Cromartie has been dealt from the Chargers to the Jets in exchange for a 2011 third-round pick that could turn to a second, according to Adam Schefter's (ESPN) twitter page.
Our View
Cromartie should be a nice addition for the Jets, who wanted to upgrade their secondary in the offseason. Teams should throw to his side of the field more often, with the elite Darrelle Revis roaming on the opposite side. That could lead to more interceptions for him.
