Free Agency 2010

Some early stuff...

Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Browns are looking to acquire a QB via trade (quoted in the Red Zone). Holmgren's a WCO guy. Wonder if he'd go after Bolton (or, for that matter, McNabb).

The Panthers aren't the only team to do an about face on a franchise player. The Rams last year put a non-exclusive Franchise tag on safety OJ Atogwe. This year, per the St Louis Dispatch (seen in Rotoworld) they're giving him the low tender. They'd have the right to match offers, but would get no compensation if they chose not to.

Michael Lombardi is saying the Jets are "extremely interested" in acquiring Antonio Cromartie. Having a DB tandem of Revis and Cromartie could be intriguing, but one of the Jets beat reporters (Rich Cimini) says the Chargers won't trade him to an AFC team.

Interesting prospect from PFT:

Peppers could push Harris off Bears roster

:svengo: Haha this shows how much peppers wanted to leave carolina that bad. He gave up a 14 mill. a year contract to possibly go toa bears team who was no better then panthers last year. Is that how dumb peppers and his so called agent is. If peppers is looking for a SB calibur team to get a ring quick. He better go looking for another team. Because the bears is not really a SB contender team right now just like the panthers. But good luck to peppers to where ever he goes.:grouphug::crazy:

Haha don't expect the panthers to be to envolved in the FA market. We haven't been big in the FA market for years now. Don't expect to happen this year.:rolleyes::icon_bs:

I meant in general. It's still fun to see all the hoopla that takes place. Though this year will be toned down a bit most likely.

Thanks for the links Mr. Scot! Bookmarks added to help me get my NFL fix!

I could see the Browns making a move for McNabb before Vick. It's still unknown if Vick can get back to his before prison level play which relied heavily on his mobility in the pocket. It seems he's lost a step in the few instances I saw him play last year.

Revis and Cromartie would be intriguing indeed. However I can't see the Chargers trading him in the AFC if it can be helped. The Jets might just step up and offer something they can't turn down though.

Also Lovie Smith is on the hot seat this year. The Bears have made it very clear Playoffs or get fired.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
