NFL Free Agency Thread

Vernon Davis is a FA? I wouldn't mind him if he came pretty cheap. Worth a shot if not a lot of $$ IMO

He did nothing for DEN last year. He should consider retiring.

Fitz will go back to the Jets

Tannenbaum is most likely the worst GM in all of professional sports.

He falls in love with big names. Always have. He destroyed the Jets' cap and he will do the same with Dolphins.

Mario Williams was a locker room cancer last year and quit on the team. Pair him up with Suh and he is a head coach's worst nightmare.

I wouldn't be surprised if a team like Cleveland throw a lot of money at him. There are too many teams with QBs that could drive up his price.

 

[Love The Drake]

we will see if Gase can reel them in

I still think Chiarelli deserved better. Had a long run of success and was the #1 seed a year before he was fired. We've seen guys get a MUCH longer leash than he got. Seemed kind of short sighted. I think he'll turn the Oilers around if they give him time.

Chiarelli got fired for trading seguin, which was stupid. And he deserved it. The kid was 19 and they expected him to be a mature 25 year old.

With that said, lets go Rangers!

Ya i have a feeling fitz will go back to the jets

I know he didn't but still if you can get him close to a vet min or around there..why not try. Look at Denvers O last year with Manning...awful. If they had a better QB he probably does a bit better

Can't wait for Tannebaum to end up in Buffalo and Rex in Miami.

Nobody on the team like Seguin in all fairness. They wanted him gone.

Every player is worth a look- especially a guy like Davis who has had a helluva career.

I just question if he can get it done anymore.

They tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to get through to the kid not because they couldn't because he didn't want them to. He didn't want to be here. It's that simple. Same with Hamilton.

That's not an excuse to not get anything for him though.

That's funny because he's been a great team player in Dallas. They treated him with the respect he deserved.
And why would he want to be in Boston when Julien had him riding the 3rd/4th lines most of the time, wasting his talent. The issue was/is that Julien is set in his ways and refused to adapt them to Seguin. He was essentially trying to put a square peg in a round hole. And when he couldn't do it, he told Chiarelli to get rid of Seguin. And Chiarelli did for an AWFUL deal.

What did I say that you disagree with?

He hated playing here and shot his way out of town. Hes been great in DAL.

Day 2 tire-kicking list:

LB - Zach Brown
WR - Jermaine Kearse
DL - Akiem Hicks
LB - Tahir Whitehead

 

[RobertWeathers]

Right. Thats a separate issue. Just because a player shoots his way out of town doesn't mean you give him away.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Kearse and Anderson should have been the main targets anyway, and they're still out there, so I'm hopeful.

Wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Boldin either.

 

[Ross12]

Is that 4-$40m Sean Smith to Oakland deal accurate? Because if so that's not really too bad.

I remember the Bruins management blaming seguin for the cup finals loss to Chicago (it was on a Behind the B episode). They felt that if he played better they would have won. Hard to pin that on a 19 year old kid. I think rask could have played a lot better to be honest with you.
