Submitted on: 11/04/2010 by
Steve Noah
It's been another busy week of transactions and rating adjustments in the NFL. Here are a few of the highlights:
- Randy Moss is removed from the Minnesota Vikings roster and is now a proud member of the Tennessee Titans!
- Former 99 OVR superstar and Madden NFL 10 co-cover athlete Troy Polamalu dips down to a 98 OVR after a rough week.
- 17 different team overall rating adjustments including big bumps for Detroit, Oakland, and New England. Dallas, Minnesota, and Cincinnati are the biggest losers of the week.
- Over 25+ new players added to Madden NFL 11 for the first time including the Colts' Javarris James, Derek Hardman of Tampa Bay, and the Broncos' Kyle McCarthy.
- Approximately 270+ transactions, rating adjustments and depth chart moves are updated in this Week 9 update.
