Around the NFL Free Agency Thread 2013

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet.
Pranksters Record Two NFL GMs Discussing Free Agency Over The Phone (http://deadspin.com/pranksters-record-two-nfl-gms-discussing-free-agency-ov-452366184?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow)

Its still a lot to give up for a player. Just because this ''isn't a good year for first rounders'' doesn't mean there are no players you could have gotten at other positions in the first or stockpile picks. Or perhaps they could have made another reach and gotten a 2nd round guy in the first again (Bruce Irvin example).

Rich Eisen pointed out that the last 3 WR trades involving first rounders have been awful (Peerless Price, Roy Williams, Deion Branch). Add to that that Percy Harvin has yet to play a full season in the NFL, suffers from migraines, wants Calvin Johnson money, and couldn't even get along with Leslie Frazier, and IMO you have a trade that has more bust than boom.

Also Ed Reed to San Fran; you heard it here first.

Seeing as how Bruce Irvin had a better season than a lot of the other first round guys, I guess it was not a reach after all and maybe the Seahawks just had a better scouting report on him than anyone else. I'm sure they don't regret drafting him over Nick Perry, Ingram, McClellin, or Coples who were pass rushers who were supposed to be drafted higher than him. They obviously made the right choice in reference to Irvin.

What I am saying is if you are going to trade a 1st round pick, this is the year to do it. It is not easy to trade down and stockpile picks. Otherwise everyone would have 10 picks every year. I guess we will have to see with Percy Harvin. He was an MVP candidate at one time this year but the injuries are an obvious concern. But I believe it will work out for the Seahawks more than it will for the Vikings.

LOL!

Or ESPN

OR CNN

LOL!

That made me laugh. CB59 you are such a insider; SS don't ever come back.

Everyone is an insider apparently.

Well, if they turn the Harvin Trade into V. Cruz and two draft picks, I think Minnesota did okay for itself in dumping an oft-injured malcontent.

If the giants lose cruz they r screwed

:laughing-


Poor Buddy. Stuck with that shitty Fitzpatrick and he knows it. Dude sounds like one of the good ole boys at the local watering hole.

At least Fitzpatrick knows he's on notice now, but I think he already knew that after last season.

Willie Colon released.

No thanks. Colon is damaged goods. Colon can't stay healthy. Colon is shot.

I'm saying it will happen not could happen. Definitive statement to speculation.

Heres another Victor Cruz to Minnesota


Rams and Vikings after Cruz reportedly.

Think about this...us trading all of those picks in the RGIII deal to the Rams just might enable them to steal the Giants' best offensive weapon...helping us. Beautiful.


I'd LOVE for Mara to lose his best offensive player. :D

Cruz>Nicks and they're already paying Nicks huge dollars...Cruz is going to want to, and deserved to be paid more. Eli's contract is going to be like a cap penalty for Mara.

Same with Baltimore and Flacco...he doesn't deserve anywhere near that money, but it's tough to negotiate against him right after the SB win.

Harrison interested in the Eagles? Interesting.
