Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

Yeah Rolle seems to be a lock for NY

We should give Ryan Clark a call

I would rather have Bethea, Clark is getting older anyways.

Well well well . . . . No big Splash for the Skins. Thank God. Bring on the draft!
:headbange

I'm sorry, but I can't read 12 pages of this before posting - someone may have already pointed this out - but as of this morning, Sproles has been tendered for a one and three - he's good, but he ain't worth that!

It was actually as of yesterday :P

Damn, that's a very good move for the ravens. That will improve their offense dramatically.

Very surprising move if they trade for him, here's a team in Seattle that's basically starting from square one, and they're looking to make the type of move you expect from a team that's a player or two away.

perhaps pete is trying to field a competitive team in his first year for good first impression effects at the expense of future stability?

idk but the hawks have had a huge need at wr for awhile, so over reaching may be understandable.

every new coach gets one or two shinny new toys to play with.

I know they'll have to sign Boldin to a big money contract but in terms of the picks they gave up that isnt bad at all.

If the Skins are looking at Jason Babin as DE/OLB, could it be that Shanny/Allen are looking to part ways with Andre Carter? Possibly via trade to 4-3 teams such as Saints or Panthers? To me, they are kinda of the same mold, 4-3 DE that would be undersized DEs in the 3-4 but possible OLB?

When did Seattle put Vinny in charge?

Signing Clifton or Pashos could be a good thing or a very bed thing IMO. If these are guys brought in to compete w/ and help groom young studs we draft for LT/RT then Shanny/Allen just made brilliant our MO. If they are the "answers" for our oline problems I expect us to draft in the top 5 again next year. Clifton is older and starting to break down, and we literally have NOTHING for LT talent aside from who we sign/draft.

Defensively is looks like the FO is flailing about a bit w/o much direction. Moving Zoe and Jarmon to LB doesn't net us anything...it just moves around the areas of need. In fact you could say we've already got 5 LBs who are strong potential players in the 3-4: London, Rocky, Blades at ILB and Orakpo and Wilson at OLB. Jarmon and Zoe will require plenty of adjustment time, so they're not starters, and then we still have to fill holes on the DL.

I'm happy Daniels is staying but he's not an every down guy to be counted on. We still don't have a natural NT on the roster so for all practical purposes we have 1 and 1/2 starters on the DL between Al and Phillip.

I know they'll have to sign Boldin to a big money contract but in terms of the picks they gave up that isnt bad at all.

4 years 28 mil not bad at all
