Fisher Out, Frye In

I'm not sure I like the Fisher trade. He was your starting DE the last two years and has been a productive part of your defense. You know have a 2nd-year starter on the right side and no proven backup. Rookie Baraka Atkins and newly-acquired Jason Babin have not played a down for the team.

If Tapp or Kerney get hurt the pass rush could be in a world of trouble.

The Frye trade looks like a good deal. It has been reported that the draft pick was a 6th rounder. To get a QB that was starting last week, albeit for a crappy team, is great as your 3rd QB. This may also give the team the option of using Seneca Wallace in other roles if Frye learns the offense quickly and proves himself as a steady backup.
