Re: Officail 2008 Free Agency Thread

As free agency began Friday at 12:00 AM ET, the Patriots had no deal in place with Randy Moss, according to ESPN's John Clayton.
The 6'4 wideout with 4.3 speed and a 40'' vertical who scored 23 TDs last season is officially open to the highest bidder. The Patriots shouldn't be out of the picture, but the 31-year-old may as well look around. Feb. 29 - 12:08 am et

Dang... Hey Randy, remember... only one team has Tom Brady at QB

Asante Samuel-DB-Patriots Feb. 29 - 12:13 am et

The St. Petersburg Times "has it on good authority" that free agent Asante Samuel will sign with the Eagles.

In the last hour, there were all kinds of unsubstantiated reports coming out of Philadelphia that the sides have a deal in place. The Birds may wait a few more hours or (ugh) until tomorrow to announce the agreement formally.

Wonder if Samuel to Eagles helps our cause for Lito anymore.

God I hope nobody else made the same mistake as me and turned to NFL live to see if any signings would come up. They're STILL talking about the game

Re: Officail 2008 Free Agency Thread

Interesting take by Florio:

In past seasons, deals have gone down not long after the launch of the signing period. We suspect that the league office has asked teams not to consummate multi-million-dollar deals in the 60 minutes or so after the signing period opens. The obvious implication in such situations is that there were discussions before discussions were technically permitted.

Re: Officail 2008 Free Agency Thread

Stil not worried about Moss, .... yet


I think its much ado about nothing, and the Pats will sign him in the am...


If he is gone, I will be stunned .. But then again I could still not be more stunned we lost the super bowl, so nothing shocks me anymore..
