Official Free Agency Thread

[Michael82]

I figured I would make a place for everyone to post their Free agency information that they have found on KFFL, RedZone or elsewhere. This is where to put the non-Bills FA stuff and even the Bills ones too.

Here's a list of some good sites to check out all day today and over the weekend....

Probably not, but for non Bills FA news, it's usually does.

What are the odds we bring in B+ or better caliber player during free agency?

20% 30% ?

I think that depends on who is grading. We haven't sniffed the postseason in a decade, yet many fans have champagne tastes. As far as one of the sexy names, that is getting showered with money by lunch time? Probably not. Players will improve our team by filling voids, or adding certain strengths to areas of weakness...I would guess about 90%.

That being said, if you are the disgruntled type, you wouldn't be happy with anybody, which would lower the chances to -3.5%.

I think there is talent on the current roster. You get professional, smart players to fill a few of the voids and do well in the draft, we might surprise people. We actually have a new coaching staff, which I like, I know you probably don't like Nix or Gailey, but we are a lot better off that we were this time last year.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Nate Burleson to Detroit. The Lions are on the move.

Re: Official Free Agency Thread

Word on the street is the Lions are the most aggressive team thus far. They have pursued several players, and are entertaining possible trade scenarios.

Another tidbit: Whitner could be a Brown or Redskin sometime within the next few days. Those are the top two teams I have been hearing over the past few hours. But I have been told nothing is imminent.

Re: Official Free Agency Thread

All I see is a bunch of players getting released.

How's that uncapped year working out ?

Re: Official Free Agency Thread

it's giving teams a chance to escape contracts without taking a cap hit. We shouldn't be surprised by this. This is a great way to purge salary, and dump unproductive vets. even more, there is the belief that any new CBA will have a lower cap limit. which means that you'll probably be best off building with a smaller salary in mind

no cap means no more min salary limit as well. I think the price for FAs will be much lower then anticipated after the initial flurry (there will be some teams that spend like drunken sailors to start, see Detroit, Chicago... ect)

probably will be more trades as well (because of the lack of a cap penalty)

Re: Official Free Agency Thread

Incognito back to the Rams a possibility??

The relationship between the St. Louis Rams and Richie Incognito did not end well. So it's surprising to hear that they might be ready for a second go-round.

But Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post Dispatch reports that Incognito was told by the Rams that they might have some interest in re-signing him when he visited Rams Park on Thursday "to pick up some things."
