Re: Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011

I can't imagine that either Rex Grossman or Bruce Gradkowski is one of the ten best quarterbacks with expiring contracts. There's a lot of better players out there.

[quote=DCtoAZ;784630]I really think Franchising Carlos Rogers #22 is a good move .. although he is frustrating as hell dropping balls left and right .. he is a damn good DB and the future of Rogers/Hall/Landry .. throwing in a little Kevin Barnes .. is bright .. don't let Carlos go, mark my words wherever he goes he will be a Pro Bowl DB[/quote]

Is Oak's Nhamdi off the market? Wouldn't he be worth the same money and pairing him with Hall? But speaking of brickhands Los Rogers... He has been durable and is tackle capable, I really want him to make finally have luck make up with him- top CB in college and utter shame for hands in NFL, still he is Skins player and would like him back.

[quote=skinsfaninok;784618]Yeah Barber looks done and I think [B]Choice is a solid[/B] player, can Felix carry the load? I dont think so. I heard they will pursue Michael Bush also.. This was on ESPN Dallas[/quote]

[quote=skinsfaninok;784536]I would have liked Rice[/quote]

Rice was top choice IMO. There are other FA out there for less.

[quote=CRedskinsRule;784513]Do we even have anyone who is worth considering using a franchise or transition tag on?[/quote]

No, sadly it seems we just sign FA contracts worth in the same ballpark without the talent to show for it.

LOL, he's got to be PISSSSSED! All he wanted was a contract that payed him for his worth like the other 4 players who held out last year but hey refused to do it. Now they franchise him? Is he going to get top 5 pay? If so he can't complain but if not he's got to be livid figuring he would be a FA this year and free to go anywhere else.

Re: Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011

The tags could mean nothing in 2 weeks

A.J. Smith is one vindictive bastard. The environment of unease and mistrust that he has fostered out in San Diego has got to be one of the major reasons why the Charges can't get it done. They have all the talent a team could wish for but petty stuff like this keeps biting in their collective arses.

Re: Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011

Maybe he should just pull a Haynesworth and punch someone in the face to try and get cut by the Chargers.
