2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

Figured since today is the official start of free agency (4pm EST), let's start a fresh thread

We can put all general NFL free agency news here

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I read that we just signed Peyton Manning and now we won't have to do the costly deal with the Rams for RGIII!

:laughing-


But it is a terribly costly deal, none the less!

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I thought it was noon est? No?

N o 4et

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

Will there be a seperate thread for Redskins only free-agency moves?

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

And Giantone can gloat....Schefter reporting Terrell Thomas has agreed to return to the Giants.

Also, hearing Carl Nicks and the Saints are very close

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

Man, the top FAs are just not going to make it to 4pm.

Any news on Colston, heard him and the Saints were close to a deal.

First of all, welcome to the board and welcome to the team. I'm assuming you're the actual Robert Griffin III right? RIGHT?!!!!!

And yes, there is a separate thread

Damnit. Idc about Carl Nicks but I was hoping TT would make it into FA. Carr really is the only suitable cornerback I want on the market now.

Thanks. I found the other thread. I wanted to bookmark it.

Just heard locally that dallas has interest in Carlos Rogers and Aaron Ross

Seriously though, welcome to the board.

I don't like the idea of Rogers signing with Dallas. I hope some team blows him away with a crazy offer, and hopefully that team isn't Dallas.

Yeah, no one should like the idea of the best CB on the market going to Dallas.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I would like Rodgers back. He was always a good DB, he just couldn't catch a cold to save his life. Now it looks like maybe he got over that a little.

Initially they wanted Finn, but apparently he's being targeted by SD pretty heavily, also w the capcrap that happened yesterday they can't really go sign the best option. I'd hope Los goes there actually

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

Only thing I don't like is his age, but I'd give him a 4 or 5 year deal that would include an out route for us after 3.

But I thought Rogers was horrible? Funny how things change in this forum.

The forum didnt change.
Rogers did.

The Pats put a second round tender on Hoyer (From Mike Reiss on Twitter).

In the interest of protecting my opinion, feel free to go back and peruse my posts to find where I said he was horrible. Horrible at catching, sure, but that was before he got his eyes checked. Now that he has his eyes checked and it's no longer a problem, it ain't no biggie. Now the biggest issue with him is that he's already 30 years old, and I don't want to sign a 30 year old to a long term deal (yes I'm an ageist.) But a 5 year deal would give him the sense of security he wants, he's obviously familiar with us, and it would solve our starting cornerback issue for the next 3 years imo.

Now how are we going to solve our quarterback problem this offseason? :laughing-

Some of us defended Rogers in terms of his play.

It doesn't matter - he won't come back to Washington.

I wasn't referring to you, many said it that he was horrible. They should have kept him and never signed Hall. I would love to have him back and dumping Hall.

Yep. Point rendered moot.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

Let Rogers go to Dallas! It will give me more of a reason to hate them.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I always thought that Rogers and Hall complimented each other well. I just hated it that he couldn't hold on to those INTs.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;897064]But I thought Rogers was horrible? Funny how things change in this forum.[/quote]

I thought he was a damn good cover corner, just couldn't catch a ball until he got to San Fran. I think the relationship between him and the organization is to far gone.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I am interested in Winston (the Tackle) from the Texans though! Kyle should have a good idea what he he is like...

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

Both Carlos and Carr have to come at the right price. Corners tend to be overpaid though cause of the value of the position. Both good corners but in my opinion aren't worth the contract that the market might dictate.

Player_HTTR mentioned it in the Redskins FA Tracker thread (which is fine, since he was considered for the Redskins), but Colston is returning to the Saints (5 year deal)

I'd say bummer but I wasn't too big on Colston anyways. I think it makes sense for both him and the Saints.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

I'll take the Lenscrafters version of Carlos.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker
 

Heard John Clayton this morning saying that the Redskins will come out of the gates quick in Free Agency and be very active.

Also went on to say that some of the projected Free Agents that may be targeted by Washington will also be targeted by Tampa Bay. The Bucs have TONS of cap room and there may be some bidding wars going on.

The question is...will Tampa Bay spend that money and will players want to go to play for a new/unproven coach.
