Veterans Have Stayed Put So Far

Written by Lloyd Vance  Rumors of star players being involved in blockbuster trades were floated all off season. 

Yet for all of the pre-draft hype, that disgruntled players would be moved on draft day for picks, it never materialized.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh said his teammate, Bengals WR Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson, was moved to tears as other players were traded but he wasn't.  Chad is still in Cincy and his head coach Marvin Lewis says he's not going any where.

Eagles CB Sheldon Brown made his pitch abit late to be traded, but so far his wishes haven't been met.  We'll see what happens today.

The Panthers DE Julius Peppers hasn't signed his franchise tag and there's been little talk about him during this draft.

Browns QB Brady Quinn looks like he's going to stay put.  We can't forget that it was Cleveland who traded away an opportunity to draft USC's Mark Sanchez. 

Browns WR Braylon Edwards was supposed to be going to New York, but he's still in Cleveland as of this moment.

The Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin was rumored to be coming here or going to New York with the Giants.  Other rumors had him going to Baltiimore, while others said Tennessee.  He's still in Arizona.

They're still with their old teams but we will have to wait and see if any of them have new addresses by the end of Day 2.
