Free Agency 2010

[Boltergeist]

You'll be fine with a good RB draft pick. Look how we turned out.

I didn't want Taylor as the be all, end all ... more as part of a tandem with a high pick. A bridge guy while the rookie gets it together.

Too bad for the Bears, GB & Minny are still better teams. LOL

Rumor has it Peppers to the Bears is going smoothly and a deal could happen later today. Looks like Chicago continues to go for broke for the 2nd year in a row.

It's gettin physical up there.

Taylor is a great choice for them.

La Canfora just said the Bears deals are receiving the final strokes of the pen and that there should be press conferences held for the deals later today.

Lol @ a Peppers news conference.

Now rumors are that Greg Olsen is on the block for a 2nd rounder (that nobody will bite on). I wonder if someone will offer a 3rd for him?

We could use him!

After the Bears,Seahawks, and Redskins get done there will be no more good FAs this year.

Olsen is a possession tight end. Fox is still our coach and wants blocking TE's.

However it does bring up an interesting point. For years we have joked that possession recievers are wasted here because #1) Fox wants to run and #2) Jake only looks for Smitty and Moose.

Now one of those factors is gone and we all saw how Moore was spreading the love around to Barnbridge and Jarrett.

Well I hope it works out. I would love for them to upgrade and have many weapons around Moore though.

Filed to ESPN: Seattle is strongly considering signing Broncos restricted free-agent WR Brandon Marshall. A huge move.

If Seattle signs Brandon Marshall to the offer sheet, Broncos would have seven days to match -- or get back the draft's sixth overall pick.

Wow Denver get the 6th? Who do you think get with that?

[pantherfan81]

Oh boy -- Brandon Marshall expected to be in Seattle on Saturday to visit the Seahawks and see if they can hammer out an offer sheet.

Damn he's going to a crappy team.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that free agent Julius Peppers will receive $40 million in the first three years of his deal with Chicago.

The $40 million is expected to be guaranteed, ensuring that Peppers will have received roughly $60 million between the 2008 and 2012 seasons, including his back-to-back franchise tags from the Panthers. Peppers' deal with the Bears is imminent and figures to be finalized within the next hour.
