Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

I imagine your thoughts on Quinn are the same as they were three years ago. Maybe we could get Tim Rattay to back him up?Or maybe we could trade up for Sam Bradford, and back him up with Jevan Snead and John Skelton :tongue

The shorthand version: for one-reason or another, all other options are sub-optimal to keeping Campbell, and playing him behind a rebuilt OL. But in terms of developmental prospects, Quinn would be one of many options that could be picked up at the cost of a mid-to-late rounder. And not all of those options are equal, according to me.

I'm intrigued about the possibility of signing Larry Johnson...wonder what he has in the tank?

I wouldn't trade up for Bradford, and I don't think Skelton fits here

But I'd rather spend a 5th on Snead than trade one for Quinn.

yeah didn't word that too well

the rumors are basically over, but it took awhile for it to get to the media?

Well rumors tend to pick up again after a dead period sometimes. But I also wouldn't say they take awhile to get to the media. I mean how do you think I hear most of this stuff. It can take a while to get from the media to the public because more often than not it's not worth bringing up

Exactly

ExactlyJust clarifying.

I don't know, just figured some stuff didn't get reported, like you said. Either that or there are rumblings but they're waiting to report until there's something more solid instead of pulling a Florio.

Bears just signed Eddie Williams, that's four former Redskins that have found work this past week now
