[D-Unit]

If anyone can find a list of UFAs, that would be very helpful.

[Jakey]

Steelers are in pretty good shape tbh. Its the unrestricted FA's that scare me.

And good work btw!

[Scotty D]

No Lions???

[tjsunstein]

Some pretty solid role players for us up there. Nick Collins and Johnny Jolly need to be brought back. Definitely going to be an interesting offseason in GB. The rest I believe can be replaced.

The Broncos and Chargers have some signing to do.

[Draft King]

The Falcons are coming for a corner, watch out. We'll apparently tender Dahl and Clabo, and then re-sign Norwood.

[phlysac]

All of the FA lists are dependent upon the CBA.

Alot of FA will be RFA's without a new CBA.

[falloutboy14]

A team that's willing to spend the money could make a fairly good defense from the players here. But there's virtually no offensive talent on the market this off-season. Assuming there's no new CBA.

[SuperMcgee]

I pray that George Wilson is back. He's done everything possible to stay with this team, converting from wide receiver, sticking it out on special teams while transitioning to defense, and doing no less than playing himself into a starting role this season.

Keith Ellison I wouldn't mind as a top backup. The rest were injury replacement signings and Youboty, who sucks, is always injured, and has been passed by 14 other guys that we drafted since him.

[Caddy]

The Buccaneers are going to have an interesting off-season with Left Tackle Donald Penn off contract as well as defensive leader Barrett Ruud.

[vikes_28]

I hope the Vikings keep Ray Edwards.

[Stranger]

I think Karlos Dansby is going to get alot of money this offseason. It's unlikely that the Cards will franchise him for a third consecutive season and he is a very good linebacker that can fit in either a 3-4 or a 4-3.

Despite the horrible defensive showing last week Dansby had a hand in all three of the Packer turnovers.

[Splat]

Chiefs: quarterback Brodie Croyle, linebacker Derrick Johnson, linebacker Corey Mays, center Rudy Niswanger, tackle Ryan O'Callaghan, safety Jarrad Page.

I could see the Chiefs giving a one year tender to all of those guys, I would like to see long term deals for Page and DJ but I think both will have to settle for one year.

[djp]

A team like New England that runs multiple fronts could really use a player like Dansby, although their last linebacker that could play 2-3 positions didn't end up the way they hoped.

All in all, great class on D (as of now b4 resignings), awful class on offense.

Anyone notice how the premium offensive positions are always thin? You just can't find a stud QB or LT in free agency very often at all.

and vikes, I hope we sign Edwards if it's for fair value. At least 2-3 positions need to be addressed before we commit money to Edwards. He was good this year, but you can't tell me we can't draft a guy in the 2nd or 3rd to match that production (or perhaps exceed it?) for 1/5th of the price.

[cvv84]

That list is just guys who are going to be restricted free agents. You can guarantee that almost everyone on that list will be back. We still have people like Pickett, Clifton, and Tauscher that are unrestricted.

[crossroads]

Half of these players are actually members of the Lions.

I would like the Chiefs to make a run at Pickett if GB let's him walk.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Re-sign Avant and Weaver please.

alge crumpler

I'm pretty sure if Casey Hampton hits FA that one of the upstart 3-4 teams will break the bank on him.

[nofalcons10]

I'm pretty sure if Casey Hampton hits FA that one of the upstart 3-4 teams will break the bank on him.

he's 32 now and getting up there in age. he'll be 33 this year.

i heard that the chargers may actually release jamal williams as well.

[Hines]

Resign Colon, Hampton, and Clark. Maybe Jeff Reed.

[MasterShake]

I'm pretty sure if Casey Hampton hits FA that one of the upstart 3-4 teams will break the bank on him.

Is Casey Hampton as good as he used to be?

Aubrayo Franklin had a huge year at NT for the 49ers...I think we may franchise him since a DT franchise is still fairly cheap.

[Splat]

Is Casey Hampton as good as he used to be?

No he isn't but with so many teams moving to a 3-4 and NT's being so hard to find he would still be in high demand.

[vidae]

I wouldn't mind us taking a stab at him if we draft a developmental guy at NT.

[Hines]

Casey Hampton had one of his best seasons as a pro this season.

[Jakey]

Yeah i'll second that...Casey played lights out every time i saw him. I've got a feeling he'll be in Dallas or Miami if we dont resign him.

[Hines]

Naw Jakey, he'll be in Pittsburgh.

[Jakey]

Lets hope so man :)

[Hines]

Lets hope so man :)

I read that he is their primary concern for the offseason. If they do not work out an agreement now, they will franchise him then keep talking. Don't be surprised to see the Steelers resigning Hampton in the next month or so. I think they'll resign him for three years and a front loaded contract.

[Jakey]

Whats our financial situation like this year? I know the last few years hs been pretty tight, so i guess i assumed it was the same this year. If we can afford it, i'll be all for that. Then it comes down to if we can afford Ryan Clark aswell.

[scottyboy]

if the Giants don't re-sign Chase Blackburn, there will be hell to pay.

This will be an uncapped year it looks like. We will be able to sign them. We have to be careful, because we have Holmes and Woodley coming up, but they have two years till free agency. I can see Holmes being done before training camp IMO.

[Jakey]

Meh homes is demi-god'like...Woodley is full on GODLY. He needs to be resigned next year :p

[zachsaints52]

aints (11): running back Mike Bell, tackle Jammal Brown, guard Jahri Evans, safety Roman Harper, receiver Lance Moore,

These are the main Saints I see us retaining. But I thought Pierre Thomas was a FA too?

[CC.SD]

Everyone can stay the hell away from Floyd and Jackson, my precious precious 17 ypc receivers. I would honestly rather keep these two than any combo of Sproles/Merriman/McNeill even though I love those guys. Bolts just spent way too long developing both of those receivers into gamebreaking weapons and throw in Gates and Rivers and you have our entire offensive identity.

Whoa Jackson is a free agent? He's gonna get paid.

[M.O.T.H.]

He's a restricted FA. At least, he will be.

[Splat]

With this whole CBA mess and players having to have 6 years in the NFL to be a URFA pickings are going to be line.

I think there will be some cap casualties that will spruce up the market, keep an eye on Champ Bailey.

[Splat]

But what if there is no cap?

Teams can hold on to players that in others years would be cut.

[Hines]

I still believe teams should spend wisely with no cap. I think this because whenever they do install the cap again, those high paid players are going to be a ***** to fit under and they'll have to cut a lot of weight in order to pay those players.

[wordofi]

Whoever does that will be regretting it with a year after signing him.

I agree. There could potentially be a lockout in 2011 and teams are already looking to save cash by not signing guys to long term deals. I mean would you rather break the bank for 1 player or sign 3-4 good players for that same cost?

[Bucs_Rule]

But what if there is no cap?

Teams can hold on to players that in others years would be cut.

Players that have a huge cap cost if they are released no longer do. Teams can get rid of players that aren't nearly worth the salary but the cap hit made it very painful to do.

[T-RICH49]

Yeah i'll second that...Casey played lights out every time i saw him. I've got a feeling he'll be in Dallas or Miami if we dont resign him.

screw that I want him in KC.God knows we desperatly need a NT

[TitleTown088]

Pickett would also be a nice option for you in the unlikely event he dosen't stay in Green bay.

What's the word with jamal brown? Is he going to be available?

[Splat]

I would love to have Pickett if he doesn't stay in GB.

[TitleTown088]

I would love to have Pickett if he doesn't stay in GB.

Too bad though, you can't have him. Ted will keep him. :D

[BlindSite]

Re-sign Avant and Weaver please.

I can't see him wanting to be a 3/4th receiver when he could play a starting role.

[Kramer]

Re-sign Avant and Weaver please.

I used to love Asante when he was in New England, but then at his press conference after he signed with Philadelphia things changed. Samuel said that he left New England because Philadelphia gave him a better chance to win a Super Bowl. Well we all know that Asante was just looking to get paid. So Asante go **** yourself and shut the **** up! Samuel is a stud on the field, but just a **** in my eyes now.

Only if they plan on switching to a more traditional, two-gapping 3-4. Ratliff is the perfect NT for their one-gap scheme.

What's the status on Jenkins in NY? I could see them looking to replace him since he's injured so much.

Truth be told, most of the 3-4 teams in the league could look to add him: Casey Hampton and Jamal Williams are both getting old. Miami, Denver, GB, and Cleveland both could use a true, dominating NT as they continue transitioning to 3-4 defenses.

[gpngc]

With no cap, it is important for us to gauge the frugality of our teams at this point.

Obvious big-spenders will be DAL, WAS, and OAK. I think we can add Arthur Blank and ATL in that mix as well.

The lack of a floor may be even more important to the competitive balance of the league than the lack of a cap. I think the Bills, Jags, and Packers will be cheap. I think the Steelers will be relatively cheap but not as bad as we might think. I can't imagine the Rooney's allowing for the team to start declining while they still have an elite QB and good pieces on defense. The Steelers were never big players in free agency anyway, but I don't think they'll be one of the bottom teams in terms of payroll.

As for the Seahawks, for those of you who may not know, the owner of the team is Paul Allen, who is one of the wealthiest men in the entire world. He has too much money NOT to spend it on this team plus he has shown that he really wants to win (new stadium, various big-name, big $ coaching hires, etc.).

This is a team starved for a title (and attention), and already has to overcome the geography factor when pursuing free agents. To say they'll break the bank to get the guy they want is an understatement. I would not be surprised at all if the Seahawks have the highest salary number for a long time a la the New York Yankees (that is of course until we get a new CBA).

So my question is- how much do you think your franchise will spend on free agents now that we are in an MLB-like situation with no cap and no floor? In my estimation that is what's more relevant than speculating on which players will be fits for which teams at this point.

[yourfavestoner]

Elimination of the cap floor would actually help small market teams as they wouldn't have to waste tons of money on marginal players just to get above the cap floor. The cap floor was rising at such a stupid amount in recent years that small market teams were having trouble keeping up with it. These teams will now be able to devote more of their resources in keeping their own players.

The end of the salary cap is not the end of the world for the NFL. The entire purpose of the cap was to help curtail player salaries, so it's pretty much been dead for the last five years or so anyways. When's the last time you heard of a team in dire cap trouble? Washington, right before the last CBA was signed. Revenues have pushed the salary cap so high in recent years that it's pretty much been dead anyways.

The NFL won't turn into MLB for one major reason: it's the only league where young players are more valuable to your team than older veterans. The NFL doesn't have a developmental league or a farm system or anything like that. It's rookies hit the ground running, which is why draft choices are worth more than gold.

With the UFA requirement going from four years to six, teams will be able to hold onto their original draft choices into the prime of their careers, instead of losing them just as they're about to enter it. If big market teams want to sign them away, it'll usually be at the cost of a first and third rounder - more than worth it to a small market team that will be able to spend those picks on young, cheap talent.

There's an absolute overflow of football talent in America. The biggest concern the league needs to deal with in preparing for an uncapped NFL is restricting the movement of quarterbacks in the league. That's the biggest fear the small market teams should have: developing a young stud QB and losing him. Almost all other positions are replaceable, esepcially if you can get draft pick compensation for them.

He is going to be pissed if that happens, he has already said that. He would love to play here but he wants a long term deal, pretty much the same as the Asante situation. We let Asante walk because we were too cheap, we can't make that mistake again.

Haha, that was the first thing I thought about. I don't think it'll happen because of the comments he made after the 2006 playoff game and during Spygate. But I'm not ruling it out, although I think he's done.

Love me some Stevie Baggs. Has untapped potential and played in a barrage of different positions with the Riders. What a potentially underrated signing.

[The Legend]

So if the Vikings lose Chester Taylor, they can sign a free agent running back. Just wondering how its gonna work. I heard something like the last 8 playoff teams have to lose a player to gain a player at the position.

[Stranger]

I think it has more to do with salaries involved of the players lost/gained than what position they play, although I may be wrong.

There is a thread that explains most of it pretty well floating around.

He hates the Pats. Based on his actual play, I'd take him. But I don't think he'd be a good person to have in the locker room here. I just wrote something about this (sort of) in the Patriots thread though:

New England?

He has said he wants to play in a 3-4 closer to home, specifically naming the Chargers, 49ers and Cardinals as the three teams he would like to play for. With his Steelers background and Whizenhunt's desire to bring in as many ex Steelers players as possible I think the Cards is probably the most likely destination.

Peezy will not play for the Patriots if they were the only team offering him. I hope the Steelers bring him back, but I can see Arizona getting him. I'd like it.

1) we didn't sign him yet.

2) No Bengals fans care about the "character concerns" insults. It's the constant "lololol Bengals behind bars" type talk that is annoying. Not because it's false, but because people act like we're the only team that has ever had a high number of arrests. Other teams like the Vikings are up there with the Bengals for the last 10 years yet no one ever makes a big deal when they get arrested or sign a guy with prior issues like Jared Allen (in his defense though, I don't think he's been in trouble since he got to Minnesota, but not entirely sure).

1) Where did I even come close to saying you signed him? I figured I made it clear by saying "the Bengals worked out Pacman" but I guess not.


2) There are lots of teams who have players who get arrested, but the point is that character is thrown completely out of the window with Cincy. It's not always bad because moves like Chris Henry(RIP) and Benson worked out even though they were laughed at earlier. But when you look at Pacman, bring back Henry after so much ****, Bernard Scott and his troubled past, Matt Jones, the list goes on and on and on.


The Bengals beat any team by far in signing troubled players, especially if you just leave arrest out of the equation. Nobody has a right to get upset when they throw out a jail reference for the Bengals, the Owner brought that on himself.




You do know he played for your team as well, when he still had character concerns?

Cowboy fans also get upset at the notion their owner cares nothing about character.

No I didn't know he played for us, when was this :rolleyes:


The point is, the Bengals consistently do it, every year, and have been for sometime. Hell sometimes it even works out for them, but Pacman now has even more baggage then when we signed him as hard as that may be to believe. Jerry also may not care about character that much, but he did take Percy Harvin off of his board for something as small as smoking weed, and the arrest record for the team is as clean as anyone's the past 10 years or so, there was a list for this somewhere but I can't remember where that was located.


Besides this wasn't about the Cowboys, if you made a list of who the Bengals had signed or looked into the past 5-10 years then made a list of the trouble they had been into nobody would come close.



I don't really mind the Bengals going about business this way, because alot of these turn out to be success stories honestly and go unnoticed, but they have shown time and time again that they will give the most troubled players a shot before anyone else will if you have a little bit of talent.


and FAIL by me seeing that someone had already said they worked him out a few post above my original one :(

[senormysterioso]

The defensive end market has the potential to be pretty stacked this year, Julius Peppers obviously, but you've got KVB, maybe Aaron Kampman, Leonard Little, Derrick Burgess, Adewale Ogunleye, and then you've got guys like Elvis Dumerville, Darrel Tapp, Ray Edwards, Marcus Spears, Mark Anderson, and Johnny Jolly in restricted free agency. The fact that the market is so saturated might drive some of the price tags down.

Vikes better not let Ray Edwards get away, but maybe it's just me, but I'd love to see what he could do when he was actually the one getting the double teams and all the attention. You probably could count on one hand how many times he's been doubled team in the past 2 years honestly, and alot of players could thrive on a line with the 3 guys he plays with.


Spears I think will make someone happy if your a rebuilding team going to a 3-4 and need a solid DE for the right price, he doesn't make many players but he's starter capable and does a pretty good job. I'd be interested to see him go be a NT though in a 4-3 to see if he's any more useful, but if you don't have all the pieces for a 3-4 yet and want to save some draft picks he'd be a nice guy to go after and affordable too.

Two Bengals team sources tell Yahoo's Jason Cole that the team signed Matt Jones despite an awful workout.
"It was one of the worst workouts I have ever seen," one of the sources said. "I don't care how fast his 40 time is or was, he's a slow-twitch athlete." The other source complemented Jones' size, but said he no longer has the speed to be a deep threat. This was our analysis as well. Jones' best route is the slant, where he can use his size, but he's no longer the down-field playmaker that the Bengals need. He's no lock to make the final roster in September.

Makes you wonder what he's been doing since the Jags let him go. He was looking pretty good right before being released, but obviously he's sat on his ass in his down time. Not like he was known for having a great work ethic prior, so time off probably didn't do him any good.

He wasn't even a good quarterback in the SEC. Trying him there in the NFL would have been a disaster.

Dude just wasn't good enough to be a professional football player. Period. I guess he could have made it as a tight end if he wanted to, especially considering he's a former basketball player. But that's more of a mental thing - he's way too much of a ***** to ever be able to play tight end.

Good feeling? That is a terrible feeling to have, personally I liked the Eagles taking advantage of the Giants MLB.

[HawkeyeFan]

According to Mark Madden on WXDX-FM in Pittsburgh, the Rams are rumored to be talking to Willie Parker about signing. Evidently Willie likes the idea of playing on turf, and getting 10-15 touches per game, not being the primary ball carrier and would love to play back-up to Steven Jackson.


Also, according to Chris Steuber of Scout.com, the Rams and the Buccaneers have had exploratory trade talks. So far it's laid out like this:

Rams trade the 1st Overall Pick in the 2010 NFL draft to Tampa Bay, and the Rams receive the 3rd Overall Pick, 3rd Round Pick, and QB Josh Johnson.

[PackerLegend]

Free agency shouldn't be as exciting this year because if there is no CBA that means a ton of potential FA's will be RFA's so there wont be as many guys to sign unless you give up picks. Guess it doesn't really matter as a Packers fan because we really don't do much in free agency.

That doesnt sound like that's what they were thinking, though. With so and so saying they love Johnson but, he's not ready. So, they'd probably continue to groom him, if they acquired him. Probably taking a QB in round 2 on.

I'd agree that they're keeping just about every option open. However, I'm not too sold on them going QB in round 1, especially if they acquire Johnson, who didnt show a whole lot last year, but who's skill set is intriguing enough. He's not really a "stop gap" QB. He's raw, he still needs to be brought along rather slowly. And some really do believe in his potential. Obviously, it really depends upon how much they really like Johnson.

It's all hear say right now, it may not even be correct. But if it is, If they acquire Johnson and an additional pick (3rd whatever), I dont think they would intend to take a QB until the 2nd round on.

[Hines]

If St. Louis would do that trade, I wouldn't be surprised to see them take Berry or Dez Bryant and keep Bulger for a year to let Johnson learn from him. With Bulger's innability to stay healthy, JJ should get PT anyways.

I think Detroit is happy standing pat and getting McCoy or Suh, they need one and either one would do wonders for them. As much as I think they should address LT and protect Stafford at all cost, I wouldn't pass up one of those two DT's unless the Redskins severely overpaid. Okung isn't even that great of a prospect, if Detroit wins 6-7 games next year I think they could get a better LT next year around pick 8 or 9 then taking Okung this high.


Still I just hope Stafford gets protection, I think he can be a top QB if he's not running for his life every other pass, that and playing from behind multiple scores minutes into a game.





Antrel could get rolled out of Arizona (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/21/antrel-could-get-rolled-out-of-arizona/)


I don't know why but I want him in Dallas if their isn't a bidding war for him. Him and Sensabaugh improve our coverage by quite a bit, him and Jenkins are both ball hawks who can make plays on the ball, and we wouldn't have to reach for a safety this year and could probably address a position up front for the time being.

[dan77733]

I wouldnt even try to trade for Ashomunga because if OAK is looking to trad him in an uncapped year, that means that there's also a chance that they'll release him before his bonuses kick in so why trade a drat pick and pay him all that money when you could sign him for less and keep your draft pick if he gets released.

And am I the only one who actually feels sorry for Raider fans? Every good player they have, they seem to want to get rid of. Makes no sense whatsoever.

I don't know why they would. If he wants to come in for cheap and provide a spark to our offense, then I'll be for it. I don't know if he'll want a reduced role and money, but if so, it's worth a shot since Mwelde Moore showed nothing last season.

[LonghornsLegend]

Why the hell would they want him? To vulture carries from Mendenhall?

It's not like they need a RB to garner alot of carries anyway. Mendy just needs a breather here and there, maybe you let LDT get goal line carries if he can still prove to have a nose for the end zone. He isn't going to go anywhere and be a huge difference in a team but it makes sense to me, I doubt he sees more then 10 carries a game.

Pointless trade for the Bills that will just ensure the team remains mediocre until they get a real quarterback that can lead a team. Whitner is very replaceable for the Bills at this point with George Wilson and Jairus Byrd along with Bryan Scott as a backup, but I'd rather pick up picks, offensive linemen or defensive players that can fit in a 3-4 than Campbell. Obviously Campbell is an upgrade over Fitzpatrick and Edwards, but hes not going to lead us through the playoffs ever. All this move would do is give them a stop gap at quarterback and allow them to address other needs until they find a real quarterback, but as far as I'm concerned, Fitzpatrick or a free agency quarter back can fill that role, no point in giving up players for a stop gap.

[Unbiased]

I am still a big believer of Campbell. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good if the deal were to go through.

I agree but Buffalo needs to find 2 starting tackles, like Washington. That would be a lateral move for Campbell. He needs to go to a team with a set offensive line.

What's the latest on Derrick Johnson and/or Dwayne Bowe?

can't remember where now but I read something awhile back where Pioli said they were gonna keep DJ...have'nt heard much on Bowe.and I also heard keeping Chambers is considered a priority

Wouldn't be surprised if both were gone by training camp unfortunately. I'd like to keep them both, but who knows.

I don't think Bowe is going any where the Chiefs are to thin at WR to be getting rid of their most talented one.

I could very well see DJ being traded with his lack of playing time and the Chiefs not being real interrested in working out a long term deal. (as far as I know)

If the Chiefs could get a 3rd round pick for DJ I think they would take that deal.

He could be just saying that so he doesn't look desperate. If teams know you really want to just get rid of someone its harder to get value in return.

With DJ being a RFA the Chiefs really hold the cards they can keep him on the cheap or trade him for what they feel is fair value.
