If the two sides do not reach an agreement on a new CBA, 2011 would be another uncapped year. The service time to become a free agent in 2011 would be five years, rather than the six years there was this year, or the four years there was in 2009 and prior. Of course, that may be a moot point as a lockout or strike would probably be more likely in the event there is not a new CBA by then.
So the bottom line is that Maroney will be an unrestricted free agent in 2011 - as will Fred Taylor, Sammy Morris, and Kevin Faulk. BJGE would be a RFA.
That should be interesting. Informative post too, thanks!

I do not believe Floyd Reese handles free agent contracts, but I could be wrong. He does handle the rookie deals though.

a compensation pick bonanza!!!!
actually, half these guys may not be here when the season starts........alexander, warren, lewis, woods,mcgowan,burgess could all be sent packing.
beyond that, you have 3 RB's who will simply be too old to consider a FA priority (taylor, faulk, morris)
on that list, only brady, moss, ghostkowski, and light would be any kind of priority

Not necessarily, unless I understand the situarion incorrectly. There could be a strike or there could be a lockout but AFAIK, barring action by the union or owners they could still play.

Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”
BB on his draft philosophy, April 2010

I know that would be a sexy pick, but I highly doubt BB uses a high 1st rounder on a RB. Maybe if the rest of the team was stacked, but as I see it now we have present and future openings on both lines, which is the safer option with high picks. We could potentially draft the next Seymour, or Light's replacement, or a Mayo-caliber OLB, all would be better uses of the pick than a RB, IMO.
Let's not forget the WR position as well, our home run hitter, deep threat, Randy Moss will be gone, and it's a great year for tall deep threat receivers.
I still believe the RB by committee wastes roster spots. I'm still hoping we get Mark Ingram, and possibly one more talented new blood in 2011. I understand that the committee does average what the single back offense does in the NFL, but I would love it if our RB's accounted for just three roster spots.
Re: Is Maroney a UFA or RFA after this season?
