2011 Post Lockout Free Agent/Trade Thread

[sliqwill]

ill be watching the Dolphins, Ricky Williams Ronnie Brown and Patrick Cobbs are all free agents, so they will probably do a complete overhaul of the backfield...they also have a not so good situation at QB since Pennington said hes taking the season off :think:

thats the team i think that will be making some interesting moves...

The Bucs have a boat load of money to spend and they have to spend it. Could get interesting.

Aso? With Talib likely to be suspended, it would make sense. I wouldn't mind the Packers signing him, but I don't think they are willing to shell out that kind of money.

I think we will go after him, but Dallas, Houston and Washington will all be after him as well.

yeah the 'must spend' makes it interesting, imagine if the Royals or Pirates had to spend what the Cubs, Yankees, or Red Sox spend :think: MLB would be more entertaining, i dont think there would be 15 game losing streaks...

Dallas is more likely to land Michael Huff, and Washington will be a loser again this year. Aso wants to go with a winner and still get paid handsomely. My guess is it will come down to the Texans, Packers, and Bucs. The Texans and Bucs have the most money to spend, and will both probably finish at least 8-8 or better, but the Packers are a proven winner with a healthy team, and a close friend of his in Charles Woodson plays there. If he is willing to take a discount, I think they are in the mix, otherwise it will come down to the Texans and Bucs.

The have to spend mentality is going to lead to some guys getting way overpaid.

Jason, you might have a market nearby for your Brad Smiths if he signs with the Bears. They are reportedly interested in picking him up.

zeeck sent me a text earlier so i googled it and espn chicago had a story about it...

i think i have 17 golds and 12 blues :scratch:

then i read something about the 3rd quarterback being required to be active instead of 'emergency' so they will have a roster hit and Smith would be great for any team to snag for his Wildcat ability and returns...

it would be difficult to kick away from Hester AND Smith though

The new rules make it a lot easier, though, devaluing the likes of both Hester and Smith.

I can't wait for the next few days. I'm going to be refreshing web pages all day long.

Yep. I'm glad I'll be working at home.

Chad Spann to the Colts, looks like Aaron and I may go head to head on some stuff if he gets put into any products :rambo: :batman:

 

[redandpewter55]

Hearing Bucs made the first offer to Aso (14.75 million per year) and have a good chance at landing Reggie Bush.

 

[redandpewter55]

Bucs sign 3rd round draft pick, Mason Foster. Barett Ruud will not be resigned and Mason Foster will be the starter.

Someone please tell Pete Carroll that you just can't sign every former USC player in the NFL and expect to win.
