NFL Free Agency

[Marlo]

Biggest winners so far, Denver and New Orleans.

New Orleans gets dirty with Vaccaro and Byrd, as long as KV can come back from his injury.

Denver gets Ward and Talib, which strengthens a unit that was a major weakness last year. Also signing Ware would significantly help their Dline.

Would laugh if the Pats sign Revis.

 

[Marlo]

Bucs also could be a winner with the signing of Johnson and Verner. That defense could be really tough....but it needs to be in that division.

Chiefs hit pretty hard. They lost 3 starting offensive lineman. That's not a spot you just fill in the next guy.

Cleveland gets older, rather than younger.

What are the Raiders waiting for?

 

[Marlo]

Would love to see the Pats go after Sproles or Decker.

 

[Elbutre88]

what if the saints can't lock up jimmy graham because of the byrd money? i don't know how smart that byrd contract is if you lose jimmy graham because of it.

 

[CASH]

Would love to see the Pats go after Sproles or Decker.

would be very surprised if they went anywhere near decker.....

 

[ClubDirt]

i have only one winner so far- arizona


and one loser- new orleans.

how? I think all their moves have been great.

At this point you just have to trust Payton and Loomis, given the track record. I still think Graham stays, but Brees makes that thing go. Saints have been really great at letting players walk at the right time as of late.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

Jets are close with Decker it appears.

twinkie - tell me one good thing about malcom jenkins please...havent read anything good about him yet (and no being a 'good teammate' and a 'hard worker' dont count)

twinkie - tell me one good thing about malcom jenkins please...havent read anything good about him yet (and no being a 'good teammate' and a 'hard worker' dont count)

one of my fave college athletes that's come through but he just doesn't seem to have a position in the NFL....his coverage skills just are not good. He's physical but always out of position and cannot play man coverage at all. He is a hard worker though

 

[JumpOnBoard]

I predict everyone going bat shit bonkers when Revis lands in SF.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Bungles matching that Hawkins offer sheet is kind of weird.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Browns must know something I don't letting Ward walk, he's a gamer. Team's like 50-mil under the cap.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

Bungles matching that Hawkins offer sheet is kind of weird.

I'm glad they did he's a good player that was underutilized. Much more versatile than Mo Sanu.

 

[ClubDirt]

how? I think all their moves have been great.

i like byrd but i don't believe in putting that much money into the safety position. seems like the saints could be tied up pretty badly here and if they are safety and tight end are not where i want a lot of my money. but i guess we'll see.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I thought Byrd was going to be a Brown, following coach Pettine.

 

[ClubDirt]

I thought Byrd was going to be a Brown, following coach Pettine.

i'm looking forward to revis in cleveland. anyone know if he's played QB on any level, middle school maybe?

 

[JumpOnBoard]

I thought Byrd was going to be a Brown, following coach Pettine.

mah you'll have to settle for Ben Tate.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

1. Hou - Bortles
2. SL - Matthews
3. Jax - Johnny
4. Cle - Clowney

 

[tipyerbartender1]

There are probably 15 Ben Tates in the draft, lord knows we got enough picks.

Filed to ESPN: Pending a physical, former Cowboys DE DeMarcus Ware reached agreement with Broncos on 3-year, $30M contract include $20M gtd.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

$20-mil guaranteed??

 

[JumpOnBoard]

yes

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Kind of crazy. He's a bad man, but hasn't he been a little beat up last few years?

 

[P-Unit]

Wow Denver doing all the right things in FA on defense. This might put them over the top. They pick up/draft a decent LB or two and they will be tough as hell.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Denver going to make one last run at it before Peyton's done, I guess.

 

[madshooter]

Denver all in

 

[KJ]

Be curious to see how all of this defensive talent gels

 

[twinkie13]

JOB has it covered...one of his fave Bucks and a great great human and hard worker.....but the negatives are glaring.

 

[Coverdatspred]

Donkeys making a huge splash on the defensive side of the ball. They are failing to recognize the biggest mismatch in the Super Bowl was their offense vs the Seattle defense. Looks like another 13 win season in the works only to get exposed by a real defense in the playoffs.

 

[P-Unit]

Well, Denver OL definitely needs work, but they were pretty beat up by injuries going into the season at that spot. They lost the starting C either just before or during the preseason and it showed at times. They do need to add some depth at that spot though.

 

[JumpOnBoard]

Ryan Clady one of the best tackles in the league as well.

Mike Garafolo ‏@MikeGarafolo <small class="time" style="font-size: 13px; color: rgb(187, 187, 187);"> 1m</small>
Golden Tate five-year deal with the Lions, per the team's website.

 

[orangemonk]

5 years $31M, 13.5 guaransheed. don't mind it. don't love it either. gotta hope he produces more being a #2 guy next to Calvin. weren't getting watkins and prob weren't getting Evans either.... had to address WR, worth the risk i guess

 

[CASH]

thought Decker would have been a good fit opposite Calvin

 

[ClubDirt]

denver going with the old washington ________'s strategy of picking up a bunch of nice names that look good on paper and get talked about on sportscenter. they look to be pretty overrated next season.

 

[crawdads]

Interested to see who gets Sanchez. I think he still has some game left and could be a decent player on the right squad.

I 100% see Vick as a Jet.

 

[crawdads]

Done deal for Revis.

 

[Two Utes]

Agreed. Ware coming off injury issues and Talib is also prone. I'm not sold.

have a good chuckle

:cheers: Revis

i'm fairly comfortable saying denver will be highly overrated next season. it may not always show playing in the shit afc west like last season but they'll have some huge spreads and assuming there are some decent defenses on the schedule (unlike last season), they won't cover. but i think the best place to make money here will be the season win total under, if you bet that kind of thing. i bet it opens too high after these signings.

 

[Detox]

I'll really like this pats team if they sign a good wr

 

[Marlo]

Keep dreaming.

 

[Schrute]

I'll really like this pats team if they sign a good wr

I'll really like them to continue to beat up on the retards of the AFC East

 

[orangemonk]

Philly gonna run 2 back sets with McCoy and Sproles? Both those dudes can catch, could be scary.

Home: Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers, Bills, Dolphins, Cardinals, Colts,49ers
Away: Chiefs, Raiders, Chargers, Patriots, Jets, Bengals, Rams,Seahawks

6-2 at home - 5-3 on the road --- maybe 4-4...

just throwing it out there...

 

[Detox]

Yeah, we don't care about the regular season.

 

[KJ]

big shout out to the raiders for doing what they do, Cards net a fairly inexpensive LT out of the whole deal
