Mega threads kill baby deer and pollute our drinking water.
Free agency is well under way. Time for a new thread.

And Joel Corry, who is a former agent who works for CBS now, had an interesting note on the terrible RB market. More than half of the $4 million Darren McFadden got from the Raiders is in incentives that aren't likely to be earned. So basically a one-year deal for $1.75 million.

... And just to be clear, Andrew Hawkins plans to sign the offer sheet with the Browns. So the Bengals will have to mull over matching it.

This would be a fantastic signing, IMO. The Pats have seriously lacked a LB who can cover and this kid is pretty good. He's like an over-sized SS.

4 years, 16 million (8 million guaranteed)
phragle said:Demarcus Ware would be absolutely perfect. I'd need to consult a physician if they signed him.
What kind of deal do you think he'll sign?
Eck'sSneakyCheese said:
Ware would be insane... I wouldn't mind seeing Peppers too.
As far as WW, I'm not sure maybe something like 3 yrs 2-3 mil per with a little over a year guaranteed. Too low?

I'd rather they stay clear of the over 30 club on all FA signings. They have not worked out at all recently (Adrian Wilson, Robert Gallery, Leon Washington, Ochocinco, Haynesworth) these are players that get paid because of the name on the back of the jersey not because of what they can be expected to do moving forward. Paying for past performance is a death knell in FA. I realize some of those were lower cost trades but the point stays the same, the NFL is a young mans game except for QB. I wouldn't want to sign anyone over 30. Hell you could make the case that 28 is really the new 30 in the NFL and I wouldn't argue.

Ware - 10.5
Allen - 8.0

I don't even get how Ware was cut.

Don't forget Sanders. Could be the best fit, even in addition to Nicks.southshoresoxfan said:
Because.....Jerry Jones? It's a head scratcher for sure.
I'm curious as to how this WR market is developing. Starting to wonder if the Pats go after one of these guys if the market stays supressed. Decker, Jones, Nicks would look good if they are indeed moving on from Edelman
Where would you put Dobson if Nicks is on the team?SeoulSoxFan said:Don't forget Sanders. Could be the best fit, even in addition to Nicks.

29 million in dead money and 27 million in cap hit for Carr, Free, Orton, and Scandrick.

And they do this despite throwing money away at free agents time after time. If Ware signs for 4-5 million, I'm going to be really pissed.ivanvamp said:Do you get sick of winning 12+ games every year, having one of the most exciting teams in the league every year, and making at least the AFCCG just about every year?

What's the common thread in those losses? No pass rush. You think Ware would help?ivanvamp said:I agree. But you realize that in two of the three SB victories, they came within a whisker of losing them, and in their most recent two SB losses they came within a whisker of winning them, right?
