NFL players react to the frenzied start of free agency

If you thought the start of the 2015 NFL free agency period was crazy, just imagine if the people swapping teams were your friends and co-workers.

NFL free agency began with a blitz of action the moment the clock struck 4 p.m. ET. Jimmy Graham got traded to the Seahawks, Haloti Ngata was sent to the Lions, and the Eagles and Rams are reportedly getting ready to swap their second-tier quarterbacks.

The onslaught of news was a lot to comprehend for fans, much less players. These were their tweets.

Jimmy Graham traded to Seahawks by Saints for center Max Unger

I texted a 49ers scout about Jimmy Graham trade and he sent me back one word: "F--k."

Sam Bradford for Nick Foles? Chip Kelly I understand there's a Method to your Madness but the Madness to your Method is questionable! #Truth

Chip isn't doing much different than what Payton did when he first got to NOLA. They want to draft THEIR guys and build team how THEY want.
