I thought that a few parts of his article were very interesting.

Thomas want's how much for a signing bonus?
If Thomas is seeking that much coin there is no way the Pats will even look in his direction, IMO.
I thought that this was an interesting read. The personnel people that Prisco spoke with seem to feel that this is a weak Free agent class. I doubt highly that the Pats will break the bank for any of them if that's true.
Thoughts?

...when one NFC personnel director was asked for his take on the looming free-agency period, he asked that his name not be used if he were to give his honest assessment. I agreed, and here's what he said.
"It will be crap players getting big money."
That's what happens when there is a perfect storm for those free agents on the market. One part of the storm has teams flush with cap room. The other has teams desperate to fill needs. Combine the two together and you get outrageous sums of money being thrown around to players who shouldn't be getting it.
With a couple days before the start of free-agency, word is trickling in about some of the deals that may have already been worked out.
There's talk San Diego Chargers guard Kris Dielman already has a deal with a team that will pay him a $12 million signing bonus. Same for Bengals guard Eric Steinbach.
We've heard that Ravens linebacker Adalius Thomas is seeking a signing bonus in the $17 million to $18 million range.
Did every owner suddenly morph into that little free-spending dude in Washington who asks all to call him Mr. Snyder?
Funny money, indeed.
