The Official Free Agency Thread

[manchild24]

Fox 29 News in Philadelphia is confirming the San Francisco Chronicle report that Brian Dawkins has signed with the Broncos.

Again, we're hesitant to make this official until we see contract terms, but it sounds like a done deal this time. The Eagles now have a need at safety and $40 million burning a hole in their pocket.

The Bengals are reportedly still negotiating in an attempt to re-sign T.J. Houshmanzadeh.

Housh visited Seattle Friday, but no signing is imminent. He listed the Giants, Eagles, Seahawks and Vikings as his favored landing spots, but the Bengals may have a chance to re-enter the derby. The Bears apparently never had interest, the Eagles are reportedly no longer pursuing him, the Giants deem him too expensive, and no other teams are lining up for visits

According to beat writer Matt Maiocco, one league source believes the 49ers have a "legitimate shot" to sign Kurt Warner away from the Cardinals.

Warner's public statements have been at odds with his agent's all along, and the interest in the 49ers doesn't seem to be any different. It may work as a way to get the Cardinals to put more money on the table, but Warner clearly doesn't want to leave Arizona.

Jets are about to have a bangin secondary.

and they'll still finish somewhere between 6-10 and 9-7 next year, just like tomorrow the sun will rise.

[Aso]

depends on the quarterback play. The defense will be interesting to see though. Jim Leonard is about to visit the Jets. Ryan is still trying to sign his former Ravens.

depends on the quarterback play.

as has been shown by their history, no, it doesn't.

Jay Glazer on FSN Radio reported just a few minutes ago on the JT the Brick show that the Dawkins deal is not yet done. Dawkins apparently wants to stay in Philly and negotiations with Philly have reopened. Glazer also reported that the proposed deal with the Broncos was pure speculation at this time and no signing had been agreed to or imminent.

It appears Dawkins wants to give Philly every chance to keep his services around.

Just goes to show you that you shouldnt get excited until an official report comes out. This is the time for many many rumors so make sure to check your sources before you believe the hype.

The report didn't make sense given everything we were hearing with Dawkins.

Everyone pretty much knows of his desire to stay an Eagle, which is why that Broncos report was so shocking.

I got pumped for a second because, like I said, I'm sick of seeing him. Dude's still a great player.

6:58 p.m. — Detroit inks Seattle RB

The Detroit Lions have reached a three-year, $7 million deal with free agent RB Maurice Morris, Scout.com has confirmed. Morris has played his entire seven-year career with the Seattle Seahawks and was selected in the second round of the 2002 draft.

Morris will compete for playing time against RB Kevin Smith and has more speed than the younger back.

-_-
I hate Morris..i don't know why, but i just hate him and my Lions signed him.

CBS4 Broncos Insider Vic Lombardi confirms that the Broncos have added two more pieces to the defensive side of the ball. Late Friday, Cleveland Browns Linebacker Andra Davis and Indianapolis Colts Defensive Tackle Darrell Reid inked contracts to help shore up the much-maligned defense. Davis will play Inside Linebacker in the 3-4 defense Head Coach Josh McDaniels will implement. Reid was a Defensive Tackle with the Colts, but he may see some time at linebacker as well.

Reid is only 288 pounds so I'm thinking he's going to be a 3-4 DE.

Reid is great on special teams. He is best known for this hit: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2_nYdyY8_8"]YouTube - Darrel Reid's Incredible Hit Against The Titans!![/ame]

Lito Shepphard and Darrelle Revis should be a good combination.

Reid is great on special teams. He is best known for this hit: YouTube - Darrel Reid's Incredible Hit Against The Titans!!

Looks like he just pushed up on the analog stick.

From KFFL:

Broncos | Interested in Canty
Sat, 28 Feb 2009 05:40:36 -0800

Don Banks, of SI.com, reports the Denver Broncos are staying in contact with the agent for free-agent DL Chris Canty (Cowboys) and could emerge as a possible suitor next week.

From rotoworld:

Free agent CB Andre Goodman has visits scheduled with the Broncos Saturday and the Browns on Sunday.

Former Belichick assistants doing battle over the same player. Goodman, who will turn 31 last year, is coming off his best year as a starter. He won't come at the same price as the younger corners like Dominique Foxworth that have already signed.
