Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011

Thank you PFT for explaining this to me before my PEERS.

Aubrayo Franklin should get monster deal when lockout ends | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/05/13/aubrayo-franklin-should-get-monster-deal-when-lockout-ends/)


Are you guys happy now. PFT just became more helpful then ALL OF YOU combined.

Of course, you are relying on PFT so maybe your peers just knew to keep quiet :cheeky-sm

I was just going to post what Dirtbag posted; Franklin being one of our top FA priorities.

Him, Cullen Jenkins, Ryan Harris, Lyle Sendline, and Davin Joseph would look good in skin uniforms, however, we shouldn't sign all these guys, since we need to build through the draft.

I'm okay signing all of them given they are to short contracts with not a huge guaranteed amount of money and/or huge signing bonus like a Cerrato-esque FA signing would be. Allen knows how to write a contract up so I am no longer worried about that issue. If we aren't shelling out long terms and high guarantees, I say bring 'em on, the more the merrier.

Props to you for finding your own answer rather than relying on your worthless peers. ;)

Thank you Matty. I don't mean to be critical of others but this group we have right now is just worthless. Are you guys retarted? I don't mean to be unfairly critical but I honestly think that none of you got past 2nd grade. You are blights on society. Again not being critical but you guys are nothing without me.

Franklin may not be the ideal ideal cut diamond like Paul Soliai but he does count as an ideal cut. He's the type of player where he's going to remind teams that Centers are usually their worst blockers and by not double teaming him you're risking a play in the backfield.

I will not blink if this teams backs up the money truck for Franklin

Carriker-J. Jenkins
Franklin-Neild-Bryant
C. Jenkins-Daniels-Holiday

Great rotation there and our linebackers suddenly don't have to pay roaming chargers. Every last one of those guys is capable of playing 2 gap defense.

By the way does anyone realize that Cullen Jenkins got 7 sacks last year as a 3-4 end?

Ryan Harris - Brown/Harris is probably a harder decision then Young/Beck. Brown has the higher ceiling and is capable of playing LT if god forbid something happens to Trent.

Harris on the other hand is younger and has experience in this system. However Harris has been oft injured lately and only played 16 games once in 4 years. I'm hoping that part of the reason he missed so many is McDaniels bias against zone blockers but I think it had more to do with injury.

In the end Harris/Brown is a situation where you will be dead in the water if you end up with neither player. I think Gaither is the failsafe option but I think I would prefer Brown mainly because I know he's healthy again and he's also the better player.

Lyle Sendline - Guilty by association. Cardinals have one of the worst O-Lines in the league so when I see one listed I find myself skeptical. However Arizona Cardinals center Lyle Sendlein flourishes in anonymity (http://www.azcentral.com/sports/cardinals/articles/2010/08/09/20100809arizona-cardinals-center-lyle-sendlein.html). Sadly though I think this team plans on staying with Rabach on top of the fact that we already have 4 centers, 5 if you count Silverback (Cook, Kory L, Montgomery, Rabach).

Davin Joesph - Want him on this team so badly. Even more then Franklin and Jenkins combined. However when the lockout is lifted we're likely to see 2010 rules which means theres now a 95% chance Joesph gets tendered.

"Well you typed 'your stupid' which claims ownership. 'You're stupid' means you are stupid."

Whatever. your stupid.

Any thoughts on Big Al in Philly?

I'd almost be willing to give him to a division rival just to get rid of him. Hopefully it will work out as well as the McNabb deal did for us...payback in a way.

I could see Haynesworth and the Philly fans really turning on each other and getting very ugly fast, which would be very entertaining.

Akers' top 2 possible landing spots: Skins and Dallas.

Also, we may target a new punter in Maynard from the Bears, but I think people are forgetting about Bidwell when healthy.

Hmmmm...
Akers played one game for us back in 98. Two attempts 2 misses.
Two years later he's 33/29.
:doh:
He potentially has four years left on him.
I'd have more confidence in him than Gano.
