Free Agency Rumors Thread

[Alexander]

They are trying to trade him for 2 1st round picks...

I do not think that is the case from some things I have read.

Lovie said they were going to use man as their base.

He'll do what most teams do....run a lot of different looks. It still boils down to matchups and execution.

I do think it was the case from some things I have heard.

I guess it depends who we have "heard" these things from.

Not that we are insiders or anything.

Free agency for Cowboys fans isnt fun. Like going to the mall and your friends go on a shopping spree while you leave with 2-day old churro.

Wait, you say "heard", I say "read". Sounds like you got some sources.

Staying out of FA is not such a bad thing.....mostly.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

A serious question.

With the FAs out there right now...Who is the one or two big ticket names that you would want.

I really don't see a name out there this year that I would want for the money they would have to pay.

Just not a big crop of Top notch FAs this year that interest me.

Ok...I heard it while I read it out loud.

Your turn to be snarky.

There is a bright side of a lack of money burning a hole in a certain Jones' pocket that is true. The last time we had that we ended up signing players like Dan Connor and Lawrence Vickers.

Andre Roberts's deal with Skins will end up 4yrs around $16M, with half of that guaranteed. Very nice haul for him

I guess the Commanders did not learn their lesson with Josh Morgan. Why teams sign #2 WRs to big money and expect them to turn into #1s is beyond me.

Are they already allowed to nogociate w/ FAs?

Those were killer signings!

That was the original going price.....Teams laughed. Waiting for him to be cut because they know the Bucs are against the clock. Teams know they don't want to lose their 3rd round pick to the Jets if he is still on the roster.

Cromartie at FS or corner. I don't think he'd cost that much either.

NFL Media's @MikeSilver also notes Alex Mack could be a target for the Bucs, who have Jeff Tedford -- Mack's college coach -- on staff.

Browns show "significant interest" in Darrelle Revis, according to @RapSheet: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000332844/article/browns-show-significant-interest-in-darrelle-revis?campaign=Twitter_atl…

Two things I will be glad for once free agency starts:

1) No more talk about getting Jairus Byrd or some other good player for "the right price"
2) No more posts about how there is still the option to get $20 million by restructuring more contracts
