Chargers make Cromartie deal official; bring back Wilson, Boone

Football Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Diego Chargers made it official on Friday and announced the trade of cornerback Antonio Cromartie to the New York Jets.

San Diego will receive an undisclosed 2011 draft pick in return.

In addition, the Chargers also announced that tight end Kris Wilson and defensive end Alfonso Boone have agreed to two-year contracts.

The 25-year-old Cromartie was San Diego's first-round draft choice in 2006. He hasn't missed a game in his NFL career and has 15 interceptions, including an astounding 10 during his second season.

Cromartie, whose base salary was $935,000 last year, has started in all but one game over the last two seasons. He had three interceptions in 2009.

Wilson, a six-year veteran who spent his first four seasons with Kansas City, caught only four passes for 28 yards in 2009, but one was a two-yard scoring pass in San Diego's 21-20 win over the New York Giants.

Boone started four of the 13 games he played in 2009, his first season in San Diego, and notched three sacks. He has 15 1/2 career sacks in nine NFL seasons with Chicago (2001-06), Kansas City (2007-08) and San Diego.

The 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite.

Bet NFL Sports Lines

Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense.

Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively.

A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season.

Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back.

Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick.

And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
