Madden 11 Roster Update #8 Details
by 
The post NFL week five roster update for Madden 11 includes three high profile players losing their coveted 99 rating. Drew Brees, Patrick Willis, and Jared Allen all fall a single point which seems to be in part representative of their respective team’s struggles. Other notable changes include the trade of Deion Branch to the Patriots, several team overall ratings shifting from one to three points, and Colt McCoy taking the reigns as the starting QB of the Browns due to injuries.
The Jerome Harrison for Mike Bell swap between the Eagles and Browns was completed too late in the week to be included in this update. Continue on to check out the full details of the roster update which is expected out on Friday and leave your thoughts in the comments!
