2012 NFL Free Agency Thread

You guys just took Vickers from Houston?

Damn, with Winston being cut and Chris Myers visiting Tennessee tomorrow, Arian Foster might not live up to that contract extension he just signed.

Chiefs sign Peyton Hillis.

Chargers sign Le'Ron McClain

[Nucking Futs]

Why in the fuck did they do this lol.

I'm guessing because Shiancoe is an UFA they don't plan on offering a contract to and Kleinsasser retired.

Like he said.

Musgrave's offense uses multiple-tight end sets.

Laurent Robinson signs 5 year deal with Jags

I'm guessing once James Casey showed what he could do at FB, they thought Vickers was expendable. The sports stations are saying that Chris Myers is their #1 priority.

If he bounces back and plays like he did in 2010 then great, if he plays like he did last year then he can GTFO

[Fappin Raptor]

:gayrod:

He doesn't have great hands at all. That being said he's a great deep threat when his head is in it.

Cardinals signed SF OL Adam Snyder, but I hear he's not that good. Still, he should be be an upgrade or at least compete with Rex Hadnot.

Ronde Barber to return for 2012 season with Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Per 1010 am CBS Sports radio host J.P. Peterson, Ronde Barber is expected to return to the Buccaneers this season. He cited a source close to Ronde Barber as giving him the information. After signing Eric Wright, Vincent Jackson and Carl Nicks, Barber has seen the most comprehensive free agency in Buccaneers history.

The Buccaneers have spent $30.2 million dollars of their cap space with the signings and are primed to make a run at the division title. If Ronde is to win another ring, this is his best chance since the Bucs 2002 season Super Bowl championship. If Barber does indeed return, the Bucs could go from one of the weakest secondaries to one of the best in the NFL. With the #5 pick in the 2012 draft, the Buccaneers have to opportunity to draft Morris Claiborne. He is considered to be the premiere corner back in the draft and would have a very comfortable transition since his coach in college, Ron Cooper, would be his coach at the professional level.

The possible return of Barber also opens up questions as to Aqib Talib’s future. The embattled corner is Texas trial in the coming weeks and if the Bucs do decide to draft Claiborne, his services will not be needed. Both Talib and Claiborne’s futures could be intertwined. If the Bucs cut Talib or if he is found guilty, it would signify the Buccaneers taking Claiborne in the draft. If he is acquitted and coach Schiano is serious about giving him another chance, then the Bucs are likely to look in another direction come the draft. Though Talib’s current involvement in a Tampa civil suit is likely a money grab, it very well could have soured the organization regardless of his Texas trial outcome.

The Buccaneers are serious about building for their future, so drafting Claiborne while allowing him to learn from Barber and Wright seems like the best scenario. It would ensure a Claiborne-Wright secondary for years to come while having icing on the cake for as long as Barber continues to play.

Jags signed Chad Henne to a 2 year deal. So, either Gabbert improves, or Henne starts. Better than what we had last year, at least.

[Rayman]

Laurent Robinson signs 5 year deal with Jags

[Blick]

Wow at the deal Brandon Carr got.

Kinda meh on the Chiefs signing Hillis. Great move if KC gets the 2010 version...WTF if they get last year's version.

Not the guy I would have gone with to bring in as insurance if Charles doesn't bounce back from knee surgery.
