Official 2010 Free Agency Thread

[Leftwich]

Jacksonville Jaguars have done nothing in Free Agency and plan to keep it that way.

A guy we mentioned Thursday: the Raiders' Kirk Morrison. There's no word yet about the Giants' interest in Morrison, but it's been noted Oakland appears ready to let him go. He'd make a ton of sense for the Giants right now: good size, great tackling ability and only 28 years old. One would have to think the Giants will take a strong look at Morrison. Considering there are never any guarantees in the draft, Morrison could be their best option before opening day.

Man, it's been so long since the Lions made this big a splash in FA, I am unbelievably excited. If the Lions stay with Suh in the first round added to the signings so far, wow, that's one hell of an improvement.

Hopefully the Lions aren't done in FA (and according to local radio, there are rumors we're in talks for, amongst others, Lito Sheppard) and can shore up the positions of greatest need so we can just go nuts in the draft.

The Chicago whopper: Julius Peppers' contract in Chicago is expected to pay him roughly $40 million in the deal's first three years.

Holy front loaded contract Batman!

Nah, that sounds about right given that the amount was reported to be about $13 Mil a year.

Was hoping the Lions could get Chester Taylor with his ties to the area, and fresh legs at 30. If Smith can get healthy, they could compliment each other well.

Still need to pick up a corner, I don't think anyone left is really that great, and they'll ask for a lot of money, but that this point, getting Sheppard or Robinson should be key. Also, Thomas Jones is still out there, not the best if you're switching it up between him and Smith, but we need another RB regardless.

Filed to ESPN: Seattle is strongly considering signing Broncos restricted free-agent WR Brandon Marshall. A huge move.

SI.com confirms that the Falcons are the only team free agent CB Dunta Robinson has negotiated with so far.

Robinson is intent on going home to Georgia, but this may not be a great development from his agent's standpoint. To max out, Robinson needs it to appear that he's drawing interest around the league. SI.com's Don Banks suggests that, if Robinson is signed, Atlanta will use its first-round pick on Missouri OLB Sean Weatherspoon or Michigan DE Brandon Graham.

Filed to ESPN: Seattle is strongly considering signing Broncos restricted free-agent WR Brandon Marshall. A huge move.

If Seattle signs Brandon Marshall to the offer sheet, Broncos would have seven days to match -- or get back the draft's sixth overall pick.

NFL.com's Steve Wyche reports that free agent Dunta Robinson's contract with the Falcons will be done by Sunday.

Wyche is a former Falcons beat writer, so we've got to believe him. It doesn't hurt, obviously, that Robinson is only negotiating with his hometown team. The terms remain up in the air, but Robinson is sure to break the bank.

Oh boy -- Brandon Marshall expected to be in Seattle on Saturday to visit the Seahawks and see if they can hammer out an offer sheet.

With the Bears signing a TE, there is speculation that Olsen could be on the move. A report earlier last week said the Bears were shopping him..

If that happens, Broncos have two first round picks within the top 12...oh boy.

I heard Kampman is visiting Philadelphia before Seattle.

New England has been linked to him. Don't know how I would feel giving up a second for him since TE isn't a key part in the Patriots offense, but then again we never had a good receiving TE like Olsen.

Yeah i heard something about Olsen and New England... I think in the End the Bears will keep him, and Clark will be cut or traded.

ok, guess I should of said in the last few years we haven't had a good receiving TE.
