NFL Free Agency 2010 OooOh yeAhh official thread[views:7661][posts:73]________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 10:54am - xmikex ""] Notes: 1. The big rumor is that the Rams and possibly Browns are interested in trading for Donovan McNabb. The Rams would reportedly be giving up the 33rd overall pick. I don't see why Philly would consider this at all considering that they've built their entire passing game around the deep ball, and an arm like McNabb's is hardly common. Kevin Kolb sucks, and Mike Vick is still a gamble. 2. If the Patriots are interested in a running back in free agency I'd J on my B's if they picked up Thomas Jones. Otherwise Chester Taylor is the only other free agent back I'd really be interested in, that is assuming that the Redskins don't cut Clinton Portis. 3. The Patriots need a tight end. The marquee free agent for the tight end market is Ben Watson, giving you an idea of how bad this year's market is. If the Pats are willing to part with one of those 2nd round picks they could maybe land Greg Olson, or Tony Scheffler. Predictions: - Patriots nation will get their balls in a knot again over the prospect of signing 35 year old Jason Taylor. Some other team will over-bid for him again and I'll be the only one happy about it. - The Pats will re-sign Bodden and maybe pick up a guy like Nick Harper to add some more veteran presence to the secondary. |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 11:10am - arilliusbm ""] It's baseball season. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 11:29am - xmikex ""] 1. Rusty hit the nail on the head about Peppers. It's foolish to think that Peppers can transition to a 3-4 OLB just because. It's Adalius Thomas all over again plus a way bigger price tag. 2. Adam Schefter is convinced that the Rams are going Sam Bradford with that first overall pick. I don't see any team outside the top 5 switching spots with them for multiple picks. It's too expensive. I don't think they want Suh considering they've whiffed on several defensive linemen with high picks. McCoy, or any top 5 offensive lineman, is probably the spot they need to fill the most. |

| _________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 8:45pm - Dankill ""] Pats should really look at Derrick Mason and/or Kevin Walter to beef up the receiving corps. If they could get guys like that at a reasonable price, it would be a better off season then Joey fucking Galoway. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 8:45pm - ArilliusBM ""] I think Mr. Kraft & Co. have a trick up their sleeve. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 10:02pm - xmikex ""] I'm going to pretend I didn't hear Derek Mason. To say that dudes hands are made of stone would be an insult to stone. Baltimore could have been a serious contender last season if that guy wasn't made of dust and wood pulp. It'll be Joey Porter all over again. Kevin Walter is a decent option, although he has a tendency to disappear in games. I realize the guy played opposite Andre Johnson, but that's also kind of the point. I know he has good hands, I just haven't seen enough of him to know what kind of playmaker he is. |

I think that ship sailed for good this time. People have been talking about them trading to get back Deion Branch. I can't see it costing much to get him from the Seahawks. Also, Kyle Vanden Boche or is he too old? |
| _________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 10:27pm - RustyPS ""] the WR I want them going after is Steve Breaston...cheap and an immediate upgrade over Aiken |
| ________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 10:34pm - xmikex ""] If the Seahawks release Branch then I'd be about taking him in free agency. Right now he's too expensive and not worth anything over a 5th rounder. I don't think anyone is too big on coughing up draft picks right now. The Peppers battle seems to be between Washington and Chicago right now. For the record the Redskins defensive line would be: Julius Peppers, Corenlius Griffin, Albert Haynesworth, and Brian Orakpro... which would be devastating on any other team besides the Redskins. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 10:41pm - xmikex ""] 2 pieces of breaking news Antonio Cromartie is apparently headed to the Jets. He and Kerry Rhodes will team up to make the pussiest secondary in the AFC. Have fun faggots. tony massarotti is on NESN right now talking about a lot of nothing. He's narrowed potential Patriots free agent pickups down to not Brandon Marshall and not Julius Peppers. Thanks a lot, blowhard. |

I'd love it if the grabbed him. Great option as a fast reliable #2 wideout to stretch the field. Everything I've been hearing points to the Cards re-signing Breaston and unloading Boldin cheap. |

| ________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 11:00pm - xmikex ""] Dankill said:Kyle Vanden Boche or is he too old? PFT says the Lions are going after Vanden Bosch. He only put up 3 sacks in 09, but Jeff Fischer was really insistent on a 4 man pass rush all year. Gauging his value to the Pats would be a LOT easier if I knew weather or not they were planning on using a 3-4 or a 4-3. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 4,2010 11:32pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Mike Vrabel signed an extension with the Chiefs today. |

| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 12:39am - xmikex ""] Jim Schwartz just showed up to Vanden Bosch's house. No lie. He's going to Detroit. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 9:18am - RustyPS ""] I don't believe Vincent Jackson has been tendered....can anyone confirm or deny this? |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 9:44am - SkinSandwich ""] I want to see Antrel Rolle from the Cardinals picked up by the Pats. Just sayin' bishes. Anyone in Patriots nation who does not think we need to bolster the secondary is delusional. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 9:47am - RustyPS ""] while I like Rolle, they already have 4 capable safeties....they really don't need a 5th |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 9:50am - SkinSandwich ""] Rolle now, or no vaginas. And yes, we could use Peppers if he was not made of solid fucking gold. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 9:53am - SkinSandwich ""] Who do you all think is the BEST corner on the market right now? |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 9:57am - RustyPS ""] Bodden...Robinson's more talented but his injury history makes me weary |
| _________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 10:17am - RustyPS ""] also, Al Davis continues to shock and awe the league he only gives Kirk Morrison (one of the better ILBs in the league, if he played for a good team, he'd get a shitload more pub) a 3rd round tender, then proceeds to give their FOURTH STRING CB A 1ST AND 3RD ROUND TENDER (the highest tender possible)....W.......T.........F |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 10:51am - xmikex ""] The Pats won't bid on Rolle. The safety position isn't necessarily their problem. They don't have enough corners that can effectively play man coverage, and realistically only 1 or 2 corners that can actually make a tackle 1 on 1. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 11:08am - xmikex ""] Keep an eye on Nate Vashar. The Bears might cut him, and he can tackle like a motherfucker. |

| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 2:35pm - RustyPS ""] Chester Taylor signs with the Bears Nate Burleson signs (for 5 years!!!) with the Lions Antrel Rolle close to signing with the Giants |
| _______________________________ [Mar 5,2010 2:39pm - xmikex ""] RustyPS said:Chester Taylor signs with the Bears Nate Burleson signs (for 5 years!!!) with the Lions Antrel Rolle close to signing with the Giants Hey the Lions needed a 2/3 WR and there's no way they're going to get a chance to (sensibly) draft one this year. Burleson can put up some yards when given the chance. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 2:47pm - ouchdrummer ""] boston.com just reported that we made an offer to peppers. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 2:48pm - RustyPS ""] Dunta Robinson close to signing with the Falcons ....and I don't think Peppers is leaving Chicago without a deal today |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 2:49pm - ouchdrummer ""] now.... ESPN releases that peppers is finalizing 6 year deal. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 3:01pm - RustyPS ""] according to ESPN, its official....Peppers signs for 6 years with Chicago |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 3:03pm - ouchdrummer ""] ugh. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 5,2010 4:08pm - xmikex ""] STFU about Peppers, the Pats are talking to the Cardinals about trading for ANQUAN BOLDIN The Ravens and the Chiefs are bidding too. I think the Ravens might have more collateral unless the Pats want to give up one of those 3 second round picks. Either way I'M FAPPING |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 4:31pm - RustyPS ""] I just heard that from Tom Curran on WEEI.......INSTABONER!!!!!!! The Big O and DeOssie were downplaying how good Boldin is for whatever reason, saying he's not a #1 WR who is worth $8 mill/year....I say POPPYCOCK |
| ________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 5:00pm - RustyPS ""] now they're reporting the Pats are backing out of the Boldin race....FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 5,2010 5:36pm - SkinSandwich ""] The Patriots will go 8-8 next season. I know all. |
