2009 NFL Offseason Transactions

[NE_PATS_FAN_54]

I'm gonna try to do this again. Throughout the offseason, I will update this any time an nfl transaction is made. I hope to make this the official transaction page for this site. Regarding signings, I will try to add most signings, but I will not add all of the signings that occur before the free agency period begins. I will try to add whatever I can. Coaching changes, I will try my best to keep track of all of the changes, but since this year is supposed to be a very busy year in coaching changes, I cant say for certain I will get all of them. If there are any signings, trades,etc. that i miss, please post to let me know.

What about Seahawks HC Holmgren retired?

 

[WhoaDirty]

This is awesome, thanks for keeping the updates. Question though: Would it not be easier for everyone if you edit the original post with the updates (incl. a date) rather than adding a post to the thread? That way one doesn't have to wade through the entire thread to see everything.

I wondered this aswell!

 

[mgteich]

THIS IS AWESOME!
I would suggest bolding a new entry for a week if dates are too much trouble.
Also, I would suggest 2 threads, one for players and one for coaches and front office.

i would, and prefer to, do it that way but this site does not allow me to edit posts after a couple of hours. you lose to ability to edit a post after a couple of hours on this site, ive asked in the past and have been told that it can not be changed.

but what i will do is just post the individual updates, and then once a week, post a full updated version of the transactions.

thanks for the suggestions. i would bold them, but i think theres already a little too much bolding action going on in the thread and im trying to limit the bolding. and because the coaching changes and player changes come at different times usually, i think it makes sense to just have it one thread. but that is an interesting option.
