Free Agency Rumors Thread

Since RB's come cheap I'd say Sproles. I know defense is a need but Sproles could be used like Bush. Sure we have Dunbar but fumbles and injuries make him as big a question mark as he is a threat. Other than that…draft for me.

Sproles was not a FA.
He was going to be but the saints found out there were some interested teams so they kept him in order to get a trade for him.
Word is that he was just traded to the Eagles but I don't know what they gave up for him.

I'll never understand why teams pay huge amounts for #2 WRs. It never seems to work out.

Goes all the way back to Alvin Harper and the Bucs.

Welp wille young is gone, who else are we looking at?

 

[chagus]

Thanks, yeah I saw the trade to the Eagles news. Sucks, but oh well. Hope the Melton talks go well.

Clemens is off the market, as well as Pat Sims. A couple guys that were mentioned a lot around here.

We are just doing what we want in free agency, pay no attention to things like that.

The Eagles have been playing it smart. Jackson is WR and WRs don't need top be paid over the top money. Tops the Eagles salary and they got him to perform since 2008. Simply time to move on. The eagles got 6 seasons without totally breaking open the saved cap space this season. Like I said smart.

End result will hurt Chippy Boy's offense. It will be hard to replace Jackson's production with an unknown quantity. We just pulled even, or dang near ahead of the Iggles with there little move to save some cap space.

Na.. I hate the egals and their fans more than anybody. But it was a smart move to spend the money on positions that can dramatically help. And this kid has problems.

I heard the rumor is true about DeMarcus Ware. He is divorcing his wife and has been found on the slopes in Denver with a new partner.

Oh my gawd this is getting OLD!
Not the criticism- the same old sarcastic nonsense.

It's not even clever!

No argument.
When I first started seeing your posts- I didn't think much of you.
No offense.
Since- well a couple months since you really stepped up your game and you're a poster I look forward to reading now.

Very nice.

Sounds a lot like what we're doing.

hey C, Im a busy guy and don't know everything. But I learn a lot on here and guess right a lot more than 51% of the time. They say experience is a key ingredient to decision making.

In my opinion we are having a more than solid offseason. Not flashy at all. I think you are correct.

How is it possible that we are done in free agency?

Right now this defense is not improved at all from last year.

Melton replaced Hatch, but Mincey and McClain are jags.

I disagree. We are improved. But how much is the question. It's short-sighted to say we only replaced Hatch with Melton and Ware with Mincey. And, McClain may be a jag, but he's an improvement over Hayden at the 1. Now, Hayden provides some depth at 1.

Bass and Crawford both return from injury as does Lee. We're also another year into the new defense.

So far this is the DL:
Selvie/Mincey
Melton/Bass
McClain/Hayden
Crawford
Already this is better than what we were trying to field at the end of last season. So, yes, there is improvement.

At LB:
Carter/Wilbur
Lee
Holloman/Durant

Now, I am still not satisfied with what we have, but to say we haven't improved is ridiculous. I don't think we need to throw money at every remaining FA left. We do need to still draft heavily on the defensive end. Imagine if we can add Donald, Barr, or Jernigan along with Crichton, Jeffcoat, or Martin. Then, we're not looking too bad.

Plus, there's still the second wave of FA after the draft. I would expect us to look at filling any remaining holes then. I'm not proclaiming us a Super Bowl caliber defense just yet. But we will be better.

Who out there right now changes your outlook on this defense? We are getting close to the bottom of the free agent barrel. You'll probably see a couple more Mincey/McClain type signings. Right now you just have to hope they come away with a respectable draft, and can keep their stars healthy this year.
