Free Agent Signings around the League

[OhExaulted1]

This makes me sad shocked and in disbelief all at the same time.

We're 7 hours into FA. Come down off the ledge.

 

[MUFC7]

They are going to lose those young players as come next year...they are going to cost big $$

Probably and that's why I'm happy the way BB is operating. Sometimes frustrating but a good team is built through the draft and value FA signings like Seattle showed

All on rookie deals

I guess they are putting most of their chips on the table for this upcoming season? Hopefully Manning has one more choke job in him.

 

[FourierSeries]

Hate to brake it to you...but they probably doing nothing of the sorts. Don't jump off a bridge when he doesn't come here

I won't jump off a bridge. After all it's football. We may get heated about it sometimes but it is just entertainment.

However, the way other teams have been upgrading (especially Denver) and with players at our positions of need being scooped up, even the addition of Revis may not be enough for the Pats to keep up with them.

I've been a Patriot Fan for 20 years its just Denver getting stronger is what's bothering me this time.
Both teams are looking at 3 more years from their Hall of fame quaterback tops.

You're among friends. Introduce yourself and, if you feel like it, tell us why you're here tonight.

The way I see it, Denver is putting all their chips on the table this year. If they fail to hoist the Lombardi in Arizona, then I expect them to enter rebuild mode, regardless of how much Manning have have left in the tank.. Also, they have a lot of guys to lock up come next year.

Too bad games aren't won and lost on day 1 in FA.

Becasue other teams sign players...it will not push BB or the team to try and get in a arms race to "stick it to the other team" in FA.

LOL, you must not follow this closely every year apparently? You wouldn't be "sad and shocked" or be "in disbelief". This is how it's done.

Big names don't equal championships. If you'd like to play the game, look at all the big names who signed today and then look again next February and take a look at who ended up where. The results will probably surprise you and will make your life easier when we do this again next year

They practically stole Ward if Ware signs for under 6 million they stole him as well.
That's not putting all your chips in thats amazing Gming hell we pay a over the hill Soppoga close to 3.

I wanted to see exotic Vietnam... the crown jewel of Southeast Asia. I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture... and kill them. I wanted to be the first kid on my block to get a confirmed kill!

This is more whining than I hear from my 6 and 8 year old kids. It sounds very much like "he got a brand new toy in Free Agency, and I didn't! It's not fair!"

Grow up, and stop wallowing in self-pity.

So long as they are NOT better than Seattle - and they are NOT - let them have at it. I am up for seeing another PM beat down. Manning is who is he is and unless his D can win it for him - it might - he sure will not.

Of course, I would rather see us play Seattle, but I don't have enough information to know what our team will look like.

 

[Patriot Missile]

Cheer up Charlie.

Look at this way. Getting Wilfork,Mayo,Vollmer and Kelly back along with a possible gem in Armstead is almost like getting 4 free agents. All that really matters now is a good draft and getting a top rated cb through free agency.

 

[ATippett56]

You've left off 1 player of note: Cleveland OC Alex Mack. True, he's been designated with the transition tag, giving the Browns the right to match any offer. But he hasn't signed the tag, and is able to test offers in free agency. I think that if Cleveland hadn't used the transition tag on Mack , he would be long gone by now.

Just as a hypothetical, if the Pats re-signed Talib and signed Mack, would anyone be complaining? Of all the players signed today, the only one I would personally have taken over Mack as an external FA addition to the team would have been Lamarr Houston.

Obviously, it's a long shot. But again, there's still plenty of ways left to add value to the team.

[Claremonster]

Don't know much about Costa, but would he even be an upgrade over Wendall?

He shouldn't costalot...

 

[BradyFTW!]

Anyone care to recount who the movers and shakers were in day one of FA last year?
