Official 2011 NFL Free Agency Thread

Really?

Just sign already Aso

 

[manchild24]

Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan fully expects free agent Rex Grossman to re-sign and compete with John Beck for the Redskins' starting QB job.
In other words, Redskins fans shouldn't hold out hope for a Kyle Orton trade. Due to the NFL's new procedural rules, Grossman can't practice until Aug. 4. There's no hurry to sign this week, but it also leaves Beck with a one-week headstart. "I think it will be a great battle," Shanahan said of Becksy vs. Rexy, leaving us to wonder how he would have described Agincourt.


AGAIN.....FIRE KYLE

I think he's going to be a Cowboy...the Jets have put their best offer on the table...they have been in this from the beginning while the Texans, Niners and anyone else has bowed out...maybe the contract isn't enough...but either way looks like the Cowboys will do what is necessary and get Aso in there.

Big thing they said on the radio today is Aso isnt sure he wants to go to the East Coast, he spent the better part of a decade in Cal. They said some guys just cant handle the change of new barber, restuarants, life styles. Which I find ridiculous

Don't understand the move to sign Jackson from the Browns stand point, would rather of had Sprolles.

According to NFL Network's Mike Lombardi, the Cowboys are expected to set their sights on free agent DE Cullen Jenkins if they lose out in the bidding on Nnamdi Asomugha.
Multiple reports suggest the Cowboys are serious players in the Asomugha race, but our expectation is that he will ultimately sign with the Jets. Simply put, Asomugha wants to play in New York. Dallas already lost Stephen Bowen to a division rival, and Jason Hatcher is on the Broncos' radar. They need defensive end help badly, and Jenkins is a rare play-making "five technique

Rams agreed to terms with RG Harvey Dahl, formerly of the Falcons.
Dahl was a right guard in Atlanta, and will stay there in St. Louis. Though he's 30 years old, linemen tend to last longer than other positions, and he didn't become a starter until age 27. Pro Football Focus graded Dahl as the sixth best guard in football last season. He's known more as a nasty, mauling run blocker, but PFF had Dahl in the top seven in pass protection, as well. It's good news for Steven Jackson and Sam Bradford.

Dahl should be a good pick up for the Rams. He really is a punishing run-blocker. Hopefully Atlanta can bring Blalock back now.

Less money for Nnamdi: Cowboys reached agreement with Marcus Spears on a 5-year, $19.2 million deal.

Michael Lombardi of NFL Network is reporting that the Jets have reworked the contracts of Bart Scott, LaDainian Tomlinson, Calvin Pace, Brandon Moore and Mark Brunell to clear plenty of cap room.

 

[killgod]

isn't this just going to cause problems ahead?

I mean, if they push all these guys money into later years, eventually it'll come around and need to be paid no?

They're in "Win Now" mode. As long as they get a title soon, the rest will fall into place.

Also, remember, a LOT less money for first round rookies going forward...lots more money for veterans now and in the future.

Schefter reports Jets are out of the Nnamdi sweepstakes

seems everyone is "reporting" that on twitter....lol. Jerry Jones was seen celebrating after getting off the phone....wait and see.

Aso's agent texted ESPN saying Dallas is a no go.

Bears got Sam Hurd too :smh:

Don't get that one. Salary isn't great, and he's supposedly not competing for a bigger role there than he had in Dallas. That one really leaves me scratching my head.

Time for yet another special teams ace to reveal himself!

He is coming to fill a special teams gap that was left when Rashied Davis left for Detroit. I will have nothing to do with WR for us.

Aso's agent texted ESPN saying Dallas is a no go.

yeah...seems it's just the agent playing everyone. Could be a Bay team.

 

[1ke]

NFL Network is saying BOTH the Jets and Dallas are out of Aso race. Who could it be.
