Arizona Cardinals: Free safety Terrence Holt signed a five-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday.

Terms weren't disclosed. Holt, younger brother of St. Louis Rams wide receiver Torry Holt, started 15 games last season for the Detroit Lions. He had a career-high 76 tackles, 51 solos, and three interceptions.

In Arizona, Holt gets the chance to play alongside his North Carolina State teammate, Pro Bowl strong safety Adrian Wilson.

A fifth-round selection by the Lions in 2003, Holt became a fulltime starter in 2005 but was sidelined after 10 games because of an elbow injury.

Holt has played in 53 games, 27 of them starts, with 117 tackles -- 107 solos -- eight interceptions, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

Holt is Arizona's second free agent acquisition this year. The Cardinals earlier signed ex-Dallas center Al Johnson to a four-year, $17.5 million deal with $7 million guaranteed.

Does anyone realize this means -- as of right now -- Jon McGraw is once again a N.F.L. starter :Nuts:

Another well-spent 2nd-round pick from Bradway.

2001: Jordan (used as a backup RB for 4 years & let go as a UFA)

2002: Jon McGraw (3 years later got like a 7th-rounder in return for him)

2003: Hobson (legit starter; best of the bunch here, but was projected as a 4th-rounder at the time)

2004: traded the pick away for McCareins & then gave him a >$30M contract

2005: Mike Nugent (#47 in the country & can't bury a kickoff)

2005: Justin Miller (emerged as a great KO returner in '06, but no one burns a 2nd-round pick expecting just a kick returner. He was drafted to be a CB and couldn't beat out Hank Poteat who we picked up in mid-season).

Name 1 team in the NFL who has perfect off-seasons year in year out... I dont know about you but Im glad we have J.Miller and M.Nugent... Did you even watch the games man? M.Nugent was money... Who cares if he cant kick the ball 5 yards into the endzone... He is a FG Kicker and a damn good one at that... And J.Miller is the youngest player on the whole freaking team... Give the kid some damn time to become a true cornerback... Man oh man...

Here are some good things the Jets FO has done...

Cotchery

Rhodes

Ferguson

Mangold

L.Washington

Vilma

Dyson

Thomas Jones...

Mangini...

Coles

Are you suggesting we made good use of those 6 second-round picks?

Despite getting him back, losing Coles in the first place was an embarrassing disaster. He never should have been tendered so low in the first place to save a paltry $500K on the salary cap. I like him better than Moss, but that was almost damage-control of sorts. Both Moss AND Coles should have been on the team since 2003 instead of Moss + Conway, Moss + McCareins, and Coles + McCareins.

Rhodes was a great pick. Cost us a 6th-rounder to move up a little to get him in the 4th round, and it was just about the best move Bradway ever made for us.

Vilma was an outstanding pick for a 4-3 defense, but also an obvious one since we had no 4-3 MLB at the time (we just released Marvin Jones & Cowart was really a 3-4 ILB).

All the rest were done with the current FO, not Bradway & company. And while Bradway was technically the GM when Mangini was hired, everyone knows he is only here because of Tannenbaum.

The guy was totally over his head & was a lousy GM for the Jets.

His good ones:
