Free Agency news and signings

[Dodub]

better not to force anyone? if we end up going the draft route, ok by me. not so bad adding a young CB now.

It isn't forcing it if you have extremely talented guys out there like Sean Smith and Talib. Those guys are top notch NFL CB's and they are young and only entering their prime.

 

[Dodub]

Why do you think Brown is gone next year?

I could be mistaken but I thought his contract was up after this season as well. Plus he will be 30 and looking to sign a new deal, not a great combo.

I really don't understand how we haven't signed nnamdi asomgha yet??? His style of play fits our defense perfectly no doubt he'd get his game back and dominate with us.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

I think we wind up signing him.

 

[NinerSickness]

I'm surprised I haven't heard a single word about Shaun Phillips. The dude's been very healthy & consistent, and he's only 32.

Brandon Lloyd, New England Patriots reportedly part ways - NFL.com

I don't want them to sign Heyward-Bey. I'd rather they get Sanders for a 3rd.

I'd rather we get DHB.

I also don't want to see them get DHB. I'm really surprised that he isn't more of a prized name in FA.

Hey Pozz a little OT but have their been any other rumors about the Browns and Ryan Mallett, I dunno why but that is one of the combinations that I'd like to see happen. I think Mallett would be a good fit for that offense.

 

[mem49er]

Apropos to some of the comments above, I think a LOT of GM's have either consciously or subconsciously decided to tighten the purse strings. Probably a combination of basically flat cap, finally learning that over paying doesn't get you far and maybe a little "F U" to the agents for the 3 day "tamper free" period.

Just thinking out loud, here.

Here's why the Ryan Mallett-to-the-Browns rumors are not going away

I heard on NFL Network that the 3 day "tamper free" period had actually helped the GM's because it gave them an accurate picture of each player's actual market value, before teams just set the price by jumping in with an offer you couldn't refuse thinking that other teams would also be highly interested in a player.

I think that is why there have really been no blockbuster deals this Free Agency, because that 3 day window calmed everything down instead of the usual sprint out of the gates and throw cash everywhere to get your guy.

Every time I think of B. Lloyd, I think of 2 things; this is one of them.

Spaghetti! Spaghetti! 8 MILE!!

I have no idea. I would love to have him. I haven't read of him taking any visits either.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

I found some talk of the Broncos and Cardinals possibly having some interest in Phillips.

 

[ChrisPozz]

49ers signed Craig Dahl to a 3-year contract. Blah!!!!

 

[smackdown380]

So no Woodson or Reed..... Also the timeline for Revis to be traded without the Jets paying his bonus has passed. They paid him the bonus money which makes me wonder if they will figure out a way to keep him.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Evan Silva:

Elvis Dumervil is firmly on the Ravens' radar and they hope to meet with him next week, per a league source.
