Free Agency Open Thread

PrintAt midnight, the 2009 season is considered officially over and the 2010 season has started. With that comes the expiration of all contracts with only a year left and the blitz to sign free agents. I'll be up all night with anyone that cares to join me.
What we know for sure right now is that the Jaguars have resigned every free agent except Clint Ingram and Reggie Hayward. Hayward has decided to test the market and will almost definitely be in a different uniform unless no team takes a chance on him and the Jags bring him back in, which is doubtful at best.
As for Clint Ingram, he has been tendered with an original draft round tender, which means that if another team tries to sign him the Jaguars will have two options. They can match the offer from the prospective team or they could allow him to go and receive a 3rd round draft pick from the signing team.

I'll
Be here off and on. Ha. I really don’t know what to expect. I think everyone can agree the Jags aren’t going to sign Julius Peppers, but I have a feeling they could make a few additions.

I don't think it's going to be anything exciting regarding the Jaguars
But I still want to see the crazy stuff as it happens.
Like Jake Delhomme getting released.

I agree
Delhomme is the worst QB in the league.

Well the first move is made
Filed to ESPN: Chargers traded cornerback Antonio Cromartie to Jets for a 2011 third-round pick that could turn to a second.
Now I get why Lito Sheppard was cut…

Pretty much worst case scenario for us
I was hoping that they’d get a pick or two in this year’s to help them trade up and get Spiller.

That's my point
The Chargers have a big need at RB and might want to consider trading up for Spiller. But unfortunately they have a pick that is dependent on Cromartie’s play, which I believe means that they can’t trade that pick.
No new chips in play.

It's a 2011 pick
so it really has little to do with this years draft. If they want to trade a future pick, they can just trade their own picks away.
I thought the jaguars
was gonnna make a move for Matt Roth, but Cleveland gave him second round tender…I think it was know secret that he was on Gene Smith radar…with bad blood between The Browns and the Jaguars (see Don Carey) it’s comical that the Browns put a second round tender (knowing that the Jags don’t have a 2nd)…Gene prolly shaking his head right now…

I don't think so. Football isn't like baseball. Not to mention if FA rules stay the way they do, teams can easily be competitive with good drafting

I don't think it really changes much, to be honest
It’s not like the Jaguars ever tried to get in a bidding war in the past. They’ll continue to sign Considine-type free agents, while Snyder and Jones continue to spend money on Haynesworth-type free agents

The numbers have gotten so high that the Eagles have dropped out of the running.

Bye, Lovie
The Bears are without this year’s first and second round picks (Jay Cutler and the late Gaines Adams). They need major help to stay competitive with the rest of the NFC North, but no premium picks.
Lovie’s gone after this year.
Ignore the hype; look at the results.
I don't think
Chi should sign Chestor Taylor. They should stick to their guns in the draft and what they already have on their roster. Forte is a good player, and RB Khalil Bell can turn into a good player behind him.

They have the cash but not the picks
As adamant as I normally am about the draft Jerry Angelo screwed the pooch. The Jay Cutler and Gaines Adams trades have really screwed up their draft (no 1st or 2nd).
With no 1st or 2nd, no cap, and a gm and coaches job on the line I say let them go buck wild.
Ignore the hype; look at the results.
Dallas was in the same boat last year with no picks in the first day of drafting....
but they still put out a competitive team without picking until the bottom of the 3rd.
i guess what I am saying is....
desperation is a stinky cologne… and with two playoff teams in division, did he have a choice??
We see it every year
and fortunately for Dallas, despite the Al Davis wannabe running them, they have a pretty solid overall roster. None of the 2009 draft picks were difference makers; they really relied on veterans. The Bears don’t have the luxury the Cowboys did last year because their roster is nowhere nearly as talented, and their best players are older guys.
Ignore the hype; look at the results.
Apparently Jim Schwartz of the Lions is at Kyle Vanden Bosch's house

Welcome back to the AFC South, maybe
Can you believe in 2004 he was a 1st rounder (27th overall), and his contract was 5 years $6 million? Or is the Wikipedia incorrect?

It’s insane how fast the 1st round contracts inflated in recent years

Karrem Osgood?
many sources, even his twitter, confirm he is going east to meet with a team, and mutliple sources say hes coming to jacksonville to meet. What a great signing he would be as he’s been a consistant special teams guy, and we’ll see what he can do at WR. in fact his special teams has been so good hes in the top50 chargers players ever according to one site
Charles Grant:
saints released him so hes also a free agent DE, that could be a bargan for gene smith, hes averaged about 6 or 7 sacks a year, but on this team, anythings better

I don't think
they are comfortable right. I just think that Sorgi is so bad now, he’s not even a viable backup. They may still be looking for someone. I doubt it will be a vet long in the tooth.
Well...
What about Tebow? I think he’d benefit from a few years behind Peyton… I could see them taking Tebow in the second. Heck, they’d be the only team besides New Orleans and New England where people won’t complain if he doesn’t start sometime in the first year…
This, of course, is a joking post. But… still, it could happen.

have to feel bad for Jim Sorgi though, I mean the guy lived in Manning’s shadow for his whole career and now was cut. I feel bad for him about as bad as my body can for a POS Colt

we don’t have a dire need for DT’s meaning if anything, we will go younger there.

Oh my Giants gave
this contract to Antrell Role:
The New York Giants and free-agent safety Antrel Rolle have agreed to a five-year, $37 million contract, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Rolle will become the highest-paid safety in league history and his new contract includes a $15 million signing bonus.
Ph; my: By the way. Arizona lost Kurt Warner;< and within 1 day Dandby; Rolle; and Boldin… I think their run is over for a while….

by Zoltan from Budapest on Mar 5, 2010 10:55 PM EST reply actions
Damn
How did Rolle get that much money? He is like the 4th best safety in the league.
Cardinals will be able to get back into the playoffs with a solid draft. Dansby was getting to be ineffective, Rolle wasn’t a superstar, and Boldin was always injured.

It's crazy
Teams spend because they can this year. That contract with Rolle will push the price up for any safety in the future, especially considering he would barely make my top-5 list for safeties, if even that
by alwaysforgiven821 on Mar 6, 2010 12:02 AM EST up reply actions
It's not just this year
Albert Haynesworth $100+ million last year
In 2007 the Steelers extended Troy Polamalu to a 4 year contract worth over $30 million. Later in 2007 Bob Sanders signed a 5 year $37.5 million contract ($20 million guaranteed).
Not to sound to tight-waddish, but I would not pay over $7 million/year (on average) for a safety.
Ignore the hype; look at the results.
