Official (not rumors) 2013 NFL Free Agency Thread

[DaBruinz]

Per LaConfora: LaRon Landry has signed with the Colts to a 4 year deal.

 

[SoCal Pmen]

Is it me or does anyone get a sense the Pats are not really interested in the free agent crop out there? Aside from Welker, Amendola and Cribbs the team has not been mentioned in any media as interested in certain players. In an age of social media and greater transparency in discussions you would think you would have heard more on who they were targeting.

Delmas visting the 49ers , Texans have reached out to Woodson and now with the Colts signing Landry who knows maybe Pats might end up being in on Reed

They better be talking to some people. Have too much cap space not to get some impact players. Just gotta have cash next season to extend Dmac and Spikes.

Derek Cox to the Chargers 3 year deal according to the union-tribune San Diego


Also not sure if this might have to do with the Redskins trying for Talib but Meriweather agreed to cut his salary to $1.2 million

good news..i guess

$5M a year on the dot for Cox, $20M/4yrs. That seems to be the market. I don't see any reason the Pats can't get two of Talib, Asomugha, Lewis, etc at that price.

We never heard anything about amendola until he was signed, I expect to see alot of this. Surprise but helpful signings.

Kinda hoping for Cason and/or Lewis, personally..

 

[JMC00]

Also a cautionary tale to the people thinking that Reed/Patriots won't happen because he has visits lined up with the Texans, 49ers & Colts.

Cox was suppose to visit the Saints tomorrow and he ended up with a 4 year deal with the Chargers.

Ya only thing is I think the Pats would probably have to get to Lewis early tomorrow as he is set to visit the Saints and he actually is from New Orleans and with the way New Orleans needs help in the secondary I just don't see him leaving there without a deal.

I mean unless they just completely low ball him.

Not saying they should wait, but as a reminder, McCourty has a five-year deal, not a four-year.

i have this weird feeling they will wait a week to get a CB and all the decent ones will be gone. Seems like this year their plan is...well...crazy

If they wait, then that's exactly what will happen. My guess is that we'll see four or five CBs all sign for $4-6M a year over the next 48 hours.

do you think the pats will sign any of those players?


So pats have what...19 M now after amendola signing? 3-4 mill for rookies so say 15 mill left. 2 Cbs for 5-6 mill each is another 12 mill leaving around 3-5 M give or take..correct? Plus they need a S

I hope they have more than that. Amendola's signing bonus is $6 million, which I hope means about a $3 to $3.5 million cap hit this year (2 million salary plus 1.2 million bonus).

Kerry Rhodes released. He had a good year last year. Could he work here?

Well, Denver just signed DRC to a one year deal, so that's one more off the list.

You may be confusing the 6 million average per year with actual cap hit. It will all depend on how the deal is set up. Just for comparison's sake, Hartline signed for 6 million aav too, but his 2013 cap hit is less than 2 million dollars.
