2009 Free Agents

Seems Hill was recently arrested for possession of pot and missed the last 4 games of the season with a pinched nerve in his neck. I think Seattle is still trying to sign him to a contract but may Tag him if an agreement isn't reached. At least that was their plan before the drug charge.

Well at least now he won't have to send his kids to a state school.

:laughing- Yeah, I guess now I can stop worrying about the poor bastard.

Does anyone know what the deal with Dwayne Robertson is. Former 4th pick in the 2003 draft, only 27. Also, the Patriots released Billy Gates OG, started several games last year, he is 27 also. Does any know anything about him?

I think his name is Bill Yates...though Bill Gates could do wonders for our salary cap concerns :)

Solid backup I think

May want to add Landon Johnson to the list of possible linebackers

According to John Clayton, the Panthers are making progress toward signing Gross which would allow them to tag Peppers and not lose their top 2 FA"s....NFL Football Teams, Scores, Stats, News, Standings, Rumors - National Football League - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/) ...scroll down to John Clayton.

HAYNESWORTH TO HIT THE MARKET
Posted by Mike Florio on February 18, 2009, 11:57 a.m.

If the Tennessee Titans manage to re-sign defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, it won’t happen until after Haynesworth has seen what other teams are willing to pay.

According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Haynesworth won’t do a deal with the Titans until after he tests the market.

Schefter says that a “host” of teams are expected to make a play for Haynesworth, one of the top free agents of the 2009 class, and that Haynesworth’s deal could average roughly $12 million per year with guaranteed money in excess of $30 million.

We still believe that the principle of caveat emptor applies here, especially in the wake of last week’s revelation that, four days after being placed on probation, Haynesworth allegedly caused an automobile accident by driving his Ferrari at a high rate of speed.

For more on the concerns teams should have about making a guy who didn’t become a force until he was playing to get paid the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL, here’s a recent thing we did for SportingNews.com.

I found this article to be pretty interesting. It's from National Football Post (although it was linked on CBS Sports), and it goes over the evaluation process for FA O-lineman, and gives a list/synopsis of the players out there.

I just heard the same thing. Kinda reminds me of when I was a little boy and wanted to join the circus.
