Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

We need to give up the 1st rounder and try and make a run at this punk.

No thanks Vinny

Where Julius Peppers, Darren Sproles, NFL free agents will sign - Don Banks - SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/don_banks/03/03/free.agents/index.html?xid=si_nfl)

Julius Peppers, defensive end

Where he will sign: Washington -- The Redskins are poised to come after the ex-Panthers franchise player with their go-to combination of Daniel Snyder's private jet and a Brink's truck, which seems to work every time. Washington has been signing the biggest available fish in free agency for so long now we really can't remember when the Redskins weren't the market setters.




Darren Sproles, running back

Where he will sign: Washington -- The Chargers came to the conclusion that as a situational back, Sproles wasn't worth the $7 million-plus price tag he was in line for if they tendered him as a restricted free agent. But Mike Shanahan covets him from his days competing against San Diego in the AFC West, and the Redskins have been known to overpay for skill players in free agency (Antwaan Randle El and Brandon Lloyd come to mind).

My dog could have written this article.

^^ That's the truth ^^

No thanks Vinny

lol. I'd rather have Marshall than over paying for a underachieving 30 year old DE that doesn't care about football.

Not agreeing with it, just passing along the predictions. I'd prefer Dansby and Chester Taylor.

SI writers typically are crap...no breaking news there.

Ok I have a question for anyone who may know the answer.

What will happen next year with all of the tendered players? You can only recieve the tender once correct? So all of these guys who do not sign long term deals will become UFAs at the end of the 2010 season. Is this correct?

Face it we're the Real Madrid of the NFL. Read over this and tell me if this sounds familiar.

Except that Real Madrid is more successful than we are. :)

The Rams are reportedly "seriously considering" placing the lowest possible tender on restricted free agent FS O.J. Atogwe.

The tender is called "right of first refusal," and would allow St. Louis to match any offer sheet Atogwe receives, but give the team no draft pick in return.

The Skins have coveted this guy for years,with no compensation to sign him, its a NO BRAINER he is the best FA FS.

I haven't done much research on him but if he truly is the best FA FS, why wouldn't they want some compensation?
