Official 2011 NFL Free Agency Thread

Falcons re-signed WR/KR Eric Weems.

A Pro Bowl returner last season, Weems has never made an impact on offense. There's a slight chance he'll get a few more looks in 2011 after the Falcons parted ways with Michael Jenkins on Friday, but Julio Jones' presence should likely ensure Weems' contributions remain limited to special teams.


Thas wassup. Now onto Blalock and Grimes.

Peyton Manning is da 90 million dollar man.


5 year deal.

Adam Schefter
Rich get richer: Former Packers DT Cullen Jenkins reached agreement with the Eagles on a five year, $25 million deal.


WOW

 

[StealthShot]

No supplemental draft this year. Terrelle Pryor will just be chilling out and signing autographs for money for the time being.

WOW

What in the hell.

 

[inthecards21]

I cannot figure out why the hell Pittsburgh wants Plaxico. We have 4 good receivers already, why not spend that money on O line depth or a man for the secondary?

[Bmore]

Marcus Smith and Jalen Parmele resigned with the Ravens for less money, as well as CB Chris Carr.

 

[manchild24]

Bears signed RB Marion Barber to a two-year, $5 million contract.
Increasingly injury prone, Barber has averaged just 3.9 yards per carry over the past two seasons. Of course, that's 1.5 more than Chester Taylor during his disastrous first season in Chicago. Barber is capable of spelling Matt Forte on some passing downs, but the Bears are kidding themselves if they think he's worthy of change-of-pace carries. Taylor is in serious

Citing a league source, the Charlotte Observer reports that the Panthers are interested in trading for Asante Samuel.
The connection is obvious because Sean McDermott, new Panthers defensive coordinator, held the same role in Philly last year. McDermott has been collecting former Eagles, including LB Omar Gaither and S Sean Considine. If any team can take on Samuel's large base salaries and cap numbers, it's the Panthers, even after they re-signed so many of their pending free agents. Carolina also has a need at the position after losing Richard Marshall.

 

[manchild24]

Broncos signed RB Willis McGahee to a four-year, $10 million contract.
Different terms than were reported on Friday, but McGahee is nevertheless a Bronco. Set to turn 30 and coming off a season in which his production fell off dramatically, McGahee's best fantasy bet for 2011 is a repeat of his 2010, where he vultured a good amount of goal-line carries from Ray Rice.

 

[Rudi]

So glad the Bengals signed Nate Clements. He's nothing special, but he is a serviceable upgrade over what we currently have. Him and Leon Hall are a decent CB duo.

Good move by the Titans. Suprised this has flown under the radar, Rudd is a great LB. I hope Tulloch will come to Detroit now!!

Ruud was a great LB. Not really anymore, though. I like the guy, but he fell off. He has been a liability the last couple seasons against the run. Not good for a Mike backer. Still very good in coverage though. I hope he finds his form again elsewhere.

Any info on Tulloch? Not really familiar with him...

Tully just tackles...usually when the back is already 4-5 yards downfield. Can't cover or force fumbles, but he's a good leader at least.

 

[manchild24]

Jets signed WR Plaxico Burress to a one-year, $3.01 million contract.
Entering his age-34 season and having spent 18 months in prison, Burress will have to prove he has something left while on a one-year deal. He'll be given every opportunity to win the starting job vacated by Braylon Edwards, thus kicking Jerricho Cotchery to his customary No. 3 gig. While we're skeptical about how effective Plax will be, he couldn't have landed in a much better place for fantasy value. Edwards recorded a respectable 102 targets while running opposite Santonio Holmes last year.

 

[PEYMAN18]

Lions sign Tulloch to a one year 3.5 Million deal.

Our LB core isn't looking so dreadful anymore.

Raiders re-signed FS Michael Huff.

The Cowboys strike out on one of their rumored targets. Huff is coming off a career year, racking up 95 tackles, a career-high four sacks, four QB hurries, three INTs, three forced fumbles, and seven passes defensed while showing well in coverage. We'll see if that highly motivated production will continue now that he's landed his long-term deal.

Eagles signed G Evan Mathis, formerly of the Bengals.

The Eagles aren't done just yet. Mathis is an underrated veteran that has started 22 career games. His signing gives the Eagles depth on the interior and allows them to use Todd Herremans at right tackle if Winston Justice (knee) isn't ready.

Plaxico puts uniform # in contract ($3,017,000). Last guy I remember doing this was Clemens. Signed for $22,000,022 in '06.
