Deangelo Williams? restricted FA??

Is Deangelo Williams a restricted or Unrestricted FA this year? I really don't want to see the guy leave and with whats been going on the past year I can't see him staying here. I also am starting to wonder about his durability because that's two years back to back he went to IR. I wonder if his trade value has dropped because of his injuries.

Also I love how people think Goodson can replace Williams or Stewart after running for 2 100 yard games. Sure its a great accomplishment and I am very happy for the guy but he is not as good as Williams or Stewart.

DeAngelo signed a five-year, $14.5 million contract back in 2006. The deal included $5 million guaranteed with another $3 million available through incentives. The remainder of the deal plays out as follows:

2009 - $645,000

2010 - $725,000

2011 - Free Agent

This is a highly combustible contract situation, but one that is absolutely reason to be even more bullish on DeAngelo's prospects for the upcoming seasons. We don't see him even mentioning anything about his contract situation until the 2009-2010 offseason. He will put his head down and prepare like no other for this year, and with the carries he's given, he will make the most out of it.

No new CBA = RFA

New CBA = UFA

This. Same rules as the 2010 uncapped year.

But there is a catch. Restricted Tenders have to be handed out by the end of Feb. and signed by June. However if no CBA is worked out by then, agents will probably instruct their clients not to sign their tenders in a wait and see mode. Then if a new CBA is reached, say in the late summer or fall, it could be retroactive backwards making some of those tenders mute, letting those players become unrestricted.

Thus we could have two free agency periods next offseason: early March and the days after the new CBA is signed.

I don't think Deangelo wants out as bad as many think. I have a friend who is members of the double trouble and have actually met the duo of running backs last Halloween. He told me Deangelo and Stewart were willing to take a pay cut to be able to play together and seemed pretty close friends. Now they could just be saying that for publicity but I just cant see him leaving like peppers did. We already cut the vets this year and the CBA will be in place so there shouldn't be a scare for any big contracts past 2011.

while i don't think either back is money motivated...this seems a little far fetched.

carolina to williams..."hey d, can we pay you less than what we paid you under your rookie contract?"

d..."will i still be splitting carries with stewart?"

carolina..."of course."

d..."WHERE DO I SIGN!"

thats why I said they might be saying it for publicity. Dlo and J stew have there own web site where I believe you have to pay and they invite people to come to parties they have. I seen some pics of the parties from my friend. They seem very friendly people and it might not be as far fetched as it seems. Having two great running backs on a team is rare and has put up success in past teams with 2 great rbs. It takes the load off of the #1 rb and can help him play longer while still putting up 1,000 yards a season. Not to mention it will get them publicity where they can make money from endorsements.

Also if Dlo has a bad game it can be over looked because we know JStew has a pretty good chance of coming in and having a good game. The odds that both have a bad game are rare but has happend and when it does it doesn't just make them look bad it makes people think something is wrong with our O-line because two all star running backs have a bad game.

    • It’s one thing if we’re converting the salaries of a Turk Wharton or Tommy Tremble.  This is Derrick Brown.  He’ll end up with a whole new contract in a couple years anyway.  And he’ll earn it too.
    • My general thoughts on the roster as it stands right now:  - Most interesting positions to watch: TE, NT, WR.  - If we add a TE I feel like it'll be a bigger name FA or Kenyon Sadiq in the 1st round. I don't expect us to take a TE that early with our need at tackle, though, so it's likely one of the top FA TEs or we ride with Tremble/Sanders/Evans again. Signing a mid-level FA or drafting another mid-round TE isn't going to help us at this point. We have three of those guys already.  - I don't buy the 1st/2nd round WR hype. I do think we will sign someone to play the slot because XL is... not good. John Metchie, Juan Jennings and Calvin Austin would make sense if the money does.  - NT could be interesting because I don't get the sense that they view Bobby Brown as a true starter. This could be a position we look to add a veteran starter at or possibly take one early in the draft.  - Devin Lloyd was a huge addition, but we need another starter beside him. I fully expect us to go after one in the 2nd round. Jacob Rodriguez makes a ton of sense here.  - The Luke Fortner signing gives us a veteran fallback at center this season. I don't expect he'll end up being our long-term starter, but it's likely he will at least begin the year atop the depth chart. Even if we draft a center it's unlikely that player ends up being a day-one starter. But I think right now we're likely targeting a center in the 3rd-4th round as that seems to be where the value is.  - We have no punter on the roster. Interested to see if we sign a veteran or go the draft/UDFA route.  - The OT situation is pretty bleak. I now fully expect us to take a tackle at #19, but even after the Stone Forsythe signing we also need better depth there. Brady Christensen would be an idea re-signing; I also like Jamaree Salyer from the Chargers as a younger option that still has room to develop.  - Guard depth is also lacking. Again, having a versatile backup like Brady Christensen would go a long way toward having some security for our entire OL, but even if he comes back we should add another veteran backup, IMO.  - I assume Lathan Ransom would be the starting FS if we played today, but we know Evero loves him some Nick Scott so I won't be surprised if/when we re-sign him. He's basically the defensive version of David Moore, unfortunately. Ideally we'd look to add a true FS, but I don't get the sense that is a big priority at the moment.  - Nickel corner is a need and I fully expect us to sign someone in the next few days to upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade. Long-term, I won't be shocked if we go CB earlier in the draft than people might expect given Mike Jackson's contract expires after this year.  - I wouldn't be shocked to see us sign a RB. Sean Tucker or Brian Robinson could be interesting. We know what Chuba can do, but Jonathon Brooks has to be considered a question mark at this point.
    • Considering the Raiders and Crosby’s disagreements about his health late last year and the Ravens’ history of being an extremely well run organization I lean towards the Ravens not being in the wrong here
