Emmanuel Sanders visting today

[lillloyd]

Pitt wouldst be able to keep him with a 5 mill first year cap hit.

I'm pretty sure after our own FA signings and various releases that we're about 5 million under the cap...but most of that needs to be allocated to the 2013 draft class. I'm sure we *could* do it at 5 mill with other restructures/releases etc. (NO is arguably in worse shape than we are relative to the cap, and they were able to squeeze in Keenan Lewis' signing)...it's just a matter of whether they deem Sanders important and reliable enough to do so.

It's actually a bit similar to Lewis in terms of player evaluation: Lewis had one very good year last year after 3 almost non-existent ones. Sanders had his first healthy year last year after concerns about both of his feet. Do you trust either one enough to commit significant dollars, and potentially move around existing contracts on top of that? I'm sure Pitt would love to keep both, but I don't know if in the end they are/were sure enough bets, in the context of Pitt's salary cap situation.

Is Greg Jennings still a possibility?

Sanders and Jennings would be awesome.

Packers offered him $10M per season, and presumably he's looking for more since he's in Minnesota now. I'd love to have Jennings, but not for that kind of money with his recent injury history.

 

[MrNathanDrake]

I like this move.

Pats need a fast WR.

 

[fnordcircle]

What is with people who are trying to fall all over themselves to condemn the latest FA move?

Nobody crapped their pants in excitement when we picked up any number of players who ended up doing well for us despite being cast off or passed over by teams. Like Tom ******* Brady, for instance.

Maybe Jones sucks and will be cut before there's a meaningful snap of the football in 2013. But until then why do you need to **** on a move without giving it time to see how it pans out?

It's not like anyone of you are going to cop to it if Jones ends up with 90 catches, 1k yards and 8 TDs.

If the rumor is true, Jennings will choose between GB and MiNN after a bit of bidding.

I'm going to throw a name out there.....Kenny Britt, kid is an absolute monster but is in trouble with the po lease alot. Thinking maybe a nice change of scenery and playing for a good team might get his head right. Tennessee is probably sick of him by now so I dont think he would cost that much.

 

[NEPats1]

I hope they get it done!

Pats dust of the RFA market | ProFootballTalk

As one source with knowledge of the market explained it, “The Emmanuel Sanders signing would be a steal.” The source also called Sanders “one of the best bargains on the market.”

I guess you did not watch Branch play last year.

Exactly, I am an upgrade over Branch at this point.

No.

There are divas like Moss and Ocho Cinco.

Kenny Britt isn't a diva. He's a dope.

Last year of his rookie contract, get him for a 5th you wouldnt take him? If it doesnt work out they can just let him go. I think it could work out.

They don't have a 5th rounder (or 4th or 6th) to give up for him.

I mean, how dumb do you have to be to get a DUI driving onto a military base?

Antonio Brown ?@AntonioBrown84
Guess AB the last guy standing ! #SteelersNation

That's hilariously and insanely stupid.

That said, it resembles some stories I could tell you about my late teens/early twenties.

 

[Brady2Moss]

Guess he's ours. Hope he can stay healthy if he could be Deion branch 03 it'll be a good signing. I think he can be a good number 2 but we need a number 1 still.

Not official enough for me so I'll add it here:

Dennis Farrell ESPN ?@Dennis77Farrell

Starting to hear rumblings that the New England Patriots are set to make a big trades

Stay tuned what a day.

If we believed everything tweeted, then Edelman is already gone because he started following some guys on the 49ers.

maybe a mallet trade for pick(s), followed by sanders signing an offer sheet?


who knows!

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Is Greg Jennings still a possibility?

Sanders and Jennings would be awesome.

Think. Just how much of the cap can be spent on ONE position? We just signed Jones to WR. Sanders is a possibility but both are clearly NOT possible.

Rest of the cap really needs to go to defense.
