Official 2011 NFL Free Agency Thread

[manchild24]

It's far too much money for a CB, however Houston is in immediate need for help at DB that I think they are one of the very few teams that would be in the right for doing it.

Here is a piece of the artlice that me and RALAW were talking about

The Texans have "moved into the lead" for free agent Nnamdi Asomugha, according to NFL Network's Michael Lombardi.
The Texans must be doing some serious restructuring. Lombardi says that Asomugha's money will be in the $12-$14 million per year range, which is more than the Texans were expected to fork over. Still, this could be a ploy from Asomugha's camp to drive the Jets' offer up. The bidding war is on for the best free agent available.

Redskins signed No. 105 overall pick RB Roy Helu to a four-year contract.
The camp battle in the Redskins' backfield is on. Ryan Torain enters as the starter, but Helu looks like the perfect fit for the one-cut, zone-blocking scheme. Considering how frail Torain is, Helu is well worth a flier in fantasy formats.

Redskins released P Sam Paulescu.
Paulescu joined the Redskins late last season and averaged 41.2 yards on 17 punts. The 'Skins are currently without a punter on the roster

OR A FUCKING QB FOR THAT MATTER, BUT HEY LETS GET THAT PUNTER SPOT FILLED FIRST. GOD KNOWS WE WILL BE DOING ALOT OF THAT THIS SEASON.

WIth the Bears signing Adam Podlesh, it seems like the Redskins are going to land Brad Maynard. Not thrilled about a 37 year old punter, but its an improvement over what we've had the past few years.

The Bears have made contact with free agent Malcom Floyd.
Nothing is close here, but the Bears are poking around for an upgrade at wide receiver. If they are going to let Greg Olsen go, they could certainly use some size to go with Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett. The problem is that Floyd's pricetag could escalate quickly as the Vikings have shown interest as well

Bears + a good FA WR? WTF? Must be a cold day in Hell.

If we overpay for Floyd I wont be thrilled.. hes not a real upgrade over what we have, hes just had Rivers making him look good the last couple seasons.

Yeah, Rivers can take a receiving corps of you, I and Leftwich and throw for 4000 yards.

Phillip B. Wilson of the Indianapolis Star is "starting to doubt" the Colts will re-sign Joseph Addai.
Wilson cites salary cap concerns, though restructuring the contracts of CB Kelvin Hayden and RT Ryan Diem could free up much-needed room. Wilson later suggested Dominic Rhodes could be brought back as a veteran presence if Addai is allowed to walk. Jul 27, 4:06 PM

well. so much for that.

are the colts really ready to make Donald Brown the feature back?

 

[EmpireWF]

I'm very happy that he is coming back and that we didn't lose out on all the running backs in this FA.

Not 100% yet...Bradshaw still wants more money than what the Giants presented in their first offer.

 

[Nucking Futs]

Vikings Wide Receiver Targets: Braylon Edwards, Malcom Floyd, James Jones

 

[StealthShot]

Giants re-sign Mathias Kiwanuka.

Tampa Bay and San Fran extended offers to Joseph today. Bengals and Lions are figured to be to the top 2 right now.

This sucks, all these teams offering JoJo there is a slim chance in stays in Cincy.

Cardinals signed Guard Darryn Colledge.

Redskins agreed to terms with DE Stephen Bowen on a five-year, $27.5 million contract.
Here come the Redskins. The 27-year-old Bowen has shown real flashes of pass rush ability in a rotational role with the Cowboys and is versatile enough to hold up well against the run as well. Knowing Dan Snyder, this won't stop the 'Skins from still going after free agent DE Cullen Jenkins also. Bowen's deal includes $12.5 million in guarantees

 

[manchild24]

Cowboys agreed to terms with No. 9 overall pick OT Tyron Smith on a fully guaranteed four-year, $12.5 million contract.
Smith was a two-year starter at right tackle for the Trojans, earning the Morris Trophy as the PAC 10's top offensive lineman in 2010. He profiles as a long-term blindside protector with smooth athleticism and quick feet, though the Cowboys figure to keep him on the right side as a rookie. Smith should be an upgrade on declining veteran Mark Colombo.

Tyson Clabo Confirms He's Talking With The Bills
Wednesday night, the Bills were reportedly in another bidding war - this time for free agent offensive tackle Tyson Clabo. The Bills are duking it out with the Atlanta Falcons for Clabo's services, and the Pro Bowl right tackle confirmed last night that he's been talking to the Bills.

"It's a possibility," Clabo told D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "But nobody has agreed to terms or anything."

 

[Rayman]

I know this isnt a signing but ladies and gentlemen let me introduce the NFLs Newest Diva.

DeSean Jackson's holdout is officially underway as he did not report to Eagles training camp Thursday morning.
No surprise here. Jackson is wise to force the Eagles' hand, as he easily could have been swept under the rug with the week's madness still in full swing. He's represented by Drew Rosenhaus and clearly has no intention of playing for $565,000 in the final year of his rookie deal. The Eagles will take care of Jackson -- the question is just how long hammering out a monster contract will take

"Newest" diva? Where the hell have you been?

:jonesy:

That's some Chris Canty shit right there. Wanted them to bring him back, but not at that price. And he does NOT hold up against the run as well as they'd have you think.

Hopefully he has as much impact for you as Canty's had for the Giants.

well with TO out this year we need to crown a new one.

I honestly know nothing about Bowens. Im going to assume Canty didnt do shit.

Stokley backed out of redskins deal because of the too many wideout signings by them.... LOL
