It's still one day away from NFL free agency and already there have been some big moves by teams that were eyeing the Vince Lobardi Trophy last year.  Among the notables are the Seahawks and the 49ers.

These two teams are apparently going at it, even in the off season.  I was intending to just write this article on Percy Harvin going to the revamped Seahawks.  Just as I sat down, some breaking news occurred that sent Anquan Boldin to the NFC Champion 49ers.

Percy Harvin was apparently traded away to the Seahawks for a first round pick.  If you remember, Percy was out for a bit of time last year with an ankle injury.  Either way, adding Harvin to an offense such as the Seahawks is frightening.  With Russell Wilson at quarterback and Marshawn Lynch running the football, this should open the field up for Harvin to be a great weapon.  That's not to mention that the Seahawks should still have a powerful defense.  By the way, Adrian Peterson wasn't thrilled when he heard the news.

As if to say "we're watching you", the 49ers have just traded a sixth round pick for Anquan Boldin.  You read that correctly, a SIXTH round pick.  For Anquan Boldin!  If that isn't a steal than I don't know what is.  Just like the Seahawks, this makes the 49ers even more fierce.  I don't know what this means for Randy Moss, but adding a deep threat like Boldin to a team with Frank Gore and Collin Kaepernick is unbelievable.

It's early in the offseason, and I haven't even mentioned Mike Wallace potentially heading to Miami.  This looks to be as exciting as the NFL offseason can get.  But don't forget, NFL free agency is still one day away!
