What do the Giants, Falcons and Dolphins have in common?

All three teams had proverbial malcontents on their roster, guys who were publicly unhappy in their situations, guys who just didn't fit in anymore. New York had Jeremy Shockey, Atlanta had DeAngelo Hall and the Dolphins had Jason Taylor.

All three teams traded the aforementioned players and went on to the playoffs.

Coincidence? Of course. There are a million other variables in play, but it's interesting to note, nonetheless.
