Thats my mentality on that right now, because ultimately I see him going back to New England.

mostly, I just want to know if they sign or not. and mainly, because I'm just an impatient fan. While I would like both Fred and Talib, neither is a future cornerstone (though I think both have some possibility to be one IF things go right).

Probably could do this all for 5 million and then concentrate on the draft.

So let me get this straight, you would rather have Pac Man jones over D Hall? Lol
They don't even compare to one another . PAC MAN is a clown and a fake gangster off of the field not to mention he's not even a good Corner on the field. Smh

[Meks]

if Talib stays in N.E. I wonder the likelihood, if no interest from other teams, we bring hall back for cheap.

tweeted Shef to try and get an answer on his opinion of this also...

Pac Man coming off a solid season, he is better in coverage than Hall these days. I think a 1 year deal would be good value. Let him and Josh Wilson play and challege each other for possible extention with the Skins. At the sametime draft a CB with one of our 1st 3 picks...I like that better than pushing alot of contracts down the line on top of a 30+ million contract for Talib.

Skins shouldnt follow our U.S. economy's trend of moving massive amounts of debt down the road and spending on top of it compounding the issue...

I would say he will get anywhere from a 3-5 yr deal with an average of 5mil/yr.

Gaurentees in a range that goes from 8-11 mil depending on length

[That Guy]

winfield, cason, talib still out there (among others). I'd still like fred back too. and i'd love vollmer, but i assume we probably won't want to push that much debt to grab 3 players.

[skinsy]

Per ESPN, Keller signs with the Dolphins on a 1 year.
Dustin Keller, former New York Jets tight end, signs with Miami Dolphins - ESPN New York

Now both the good TE and DB markets are set. Keller could only get a year due to injury concerns, so maybe everyone is offering Freddy a one or two year as well?

Im think more in the 6-7 mil a year range. 5 for 30, 4 for 24...if he goes for a 3 for 15 id be shocked unless the entire amount is guarenteeed.

[MTK]

3 yrs $17M for Talib.

I'm totally stealing that from someone but it sounds like a good guess.

[Alvin Walton]

New England has retained Kyle Arrington.
Wonder how that affects their Talib negotiations.

Pac Man is a true wanna be gangster. I really hope we don't sign him. I'm ok with guys with shady character cause no one is perfect. But Pac Man was responsible for a man losing his ability to walk. No thanks.

For that money we could have had one of the CB's who have already been taken. Toler signed for 3/$15 mil., for example.

While Talib has undeniable talent, he has decidedly mediocre numbers and is a legendary miscreant besides. I pray that we don't squander so much of our cap on him when we could have had a good performing/good character guy for the same or less.
