Official 2011 NFL Free Agency Thread

[manchild24]

According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Dave Hyde, Vince Young has been the Dolphins' No. 2 target at quarterback behind Kyle Orton.
Young will be released by the Titans later this afternoon, which could play havoc with any leverage the Broncos may have enjoyed in trade talks. With Kevin Kolb almost certain to land in Arizona by the end of the day, Denver may be forced to accept a fourth-rounder for Orton

NFL Networks Jason LaCanfora hears the Saints are in the mix for free agent DE Cullen Jenkins, along with the Cowboys.
Jenkins would seem to be a luxury in NOLA, where Shaun Rogers and Shaun Ellis form a fine duo inside. The Redskins figure to bow out on Jenkins after locking up Stephen Bowen, though the Broncos are expected to make a run.

Canty had a much better season last year, really hoping for him to reach full potential this year.

 

[Rayman]

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.

They're both OK players. Pretty good pass rushers for their positions. But neither guy is worth the contract they signed upon leaving Dallas.

If I'm Jerry Jones/Jason Garrett, I'm not paying a part-time player more than I pay Jay Ratliff.

Haynesworth going to another 3-4 team hmmmmm....

I'll take Bowen for the pass rush. If he's good, then that means that we've got three guys taking a run for the quarterback- Bowen, Kerrigan and Orakpo. I think that Jarvis Jenkins will get a lot of rotational time against the run up front, so that should help balance out Bowen.

Pats have kind of transitioned to a hybrid "run what best suits our players" kind of D.

I see a lot of 4-3 in their future.

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

In fairness to Jackson, he's grossly underpaid. It is time for a new deal.
And most WRs are divas anyway.

The Kolb trade is nearly complete, via John Clayton:

Breaking news. The Kevin Kolb trade is close to being completed. DR Cromatrie and a draft choice expected. Details coming as we get them

 

[Bmore]

Ravens have all there picks signed except Jimmy Smith (1st rounder), Who is expected to be signed by the end of the day.

Ravens could be the first team to have all there draft picks signed.

 

[strahanfan92]

Wow drc and a number 2 for the eagles

 

[Rudi]

Bills reach agreement with former Jets WR Brad Smith on a 4-yr, $15 million deal.

 

[strahanfan92]

Eagles showing interest in osi and spoles

 

[Chrispy]

@Michaelombardi - Kolb traded to Arizona for a Dominique Rodgers Cromartie, and a 2, not sure what year..Kolb agreed to an extension

 

[Bmore]

DRC sucks in Coverage and cant tackle for shit. Just a freak.

really? I haven't watched many Arizona games, but I always thought he was known for being a great cover corner.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

He such a freak athlete he can make up for being an idiot in coverage.

The bad thing is that he's going to be going up against some good receivers in the NFC East. The Cowboys, Giants and Redskins top two receivers are versatile and can do everything. I know the Eagles wanted to trade Kolb and they certainly got good value, but for a team looking for a cornerback, they really needed to sign one of the guys on the market who are proven #1s.

Kevin Kolb-to-Cardinals trade done. Eagles get Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2nd. Kolb gets 5-year, $63.5 million deal, including $21 mil gtd.

Three teams in the hunt for Darren Sproles- Chargers, Eagles and Saints.

Having spent four years playing behind future Hall of Famer LaDanian Tomlinson in San Diego, Darren Sproles(notes) isn’t exactly a household name.

But that doesn’t mean a guy with his speed and elusiveness is going to go unnoticed on the open market.

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune is reporting that the race to land Sproles’ services is down to three teams: New Orleans, Philadelphia and Sproles’ old team, San Diego.

Considered by some to be too small (5-6, 190) to carry a heavy workload, the 28-year-old from Kansas State is a dynamic, dual threat back who has hauled in 104 passes over the last two seasons while averaging an impressive 4.6 yards per carry for his career.

If Sproles does land with one of those three aforementioned teams, we have a feeling he'll fit in nicely. After all, Philly, San Diego and New Orleans all ranked in the top-six in total offense last season.
