Mega-Roddy!

Well, that sure didn't take long. A few hours after newly minted Dirty Bird receiver, Calvin Johnson, passed his physical, word came that a deal had been struck which would send Johnson to the Monkeys for Roddy White.

The deal was officially struck this afternoon as the commissioner's office received the final details of the trade. Calvin Johnson plus the Dirty Bird's 2nd pick in the 2011 draft for Roddy White and the Monkey's 3rd pick in the 2011 draft.

Strangely enough, this was the first trade between the two storied franchises. "As active as both Jon (GM of the Dirty Birds) and I have been, for some reason, we never found a deal that we both liked. This deal was one we both liked," said GM Evan of the Chunky Monkeys.

According to the Monkey GM, "We've always loved Calvin Johnson and his big play ability. Roddy was a terrific contributor to our Super Bowl team last year and I thank him for all his hard work for us last year. However, getting Megatron was a unique opportunity to get a little younger, taller and in our opinion, better. We spoke with Philip Rivers prior to getting the deal done and he is very excited about working with Calvin. We think this could be a great pair for years."

According to ESPN Senior Analyst, Adam Shefter, "Great deal all around that just works for both teams. Roddy White gets to play for the home town Dirty Birds and the Monkeys continue to re-tool as they prepare to defend their title. Both are Tier 1A receivers so it was simply a matter of the two teams finding a better fit in the other receiver. The 2nd pick for the Monkeys could be significant as well as they continue to stock pile picks. Good move for both teams."
