DeAngelo Free Agency Thread

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/26/deangelo-williams-to-meet-with-panthers-tuesday-wants-to-re-sign/

The two best parts of this article:

“I honestly and truly want to stay a Carolina Panther and they’re doing their part of keep me a Carolina Panther,” Williams said Monday need via Steve Reed of the Gaston Gazette. “So I’m very excited about that. Carolina gets the first stab at me.”

and

“[Offensive coordinator Rob] Chudzinski said he has a big role for me and Jonathan to play this year and I’m pretty excited about that,” Williams said. “They even have packages where they will put me and Jonathan in at the same time, so it’s going to be pretty cool.”

The thing about them both being on the field at the same time has been something I've been hoping to see for a couple years now...

Just now on SC, was asked where he thought DLo will end up, and I thought he was gonna give the "Panthers want him back, and he wants to be back..." response...

Instead, he says there will be a full court press on DLo as soon as the negotiation period starts by Denver and Miami. Made no mention of us.

I really hope he just Schefted, uhhhh, I mean shafted us and wanted to sensationalize the negotiating opening up... If not, then I am not going to be happy. This b*tch better not know what he's talking about.

I hope this is more accurate. Sounds like from the beginning that the coaching staff was told DLo would be a part of things by the way Riv and Chud have talked about him. I really hope we hold onto all of these guys, then add Jospeh and maybe Weddle, Heap, Amobi, and a possibly a WR.

That would be a dream scenario for me.

Well...considering Deangelo is meeting with our staff as reported by PFT and he has said on multiple occassions he wants to be back and JSTEW has said on multiple occassions he wants him back...I think we work out a deal.

Normally I wouldn't be on the bandwagon to resign a running back to a second deal when we already have a guy the caliber of Jonathan Stewart but having a solid running game is going to be critical to Newton's development.

Actually He said the same thing last night on his Facebook feed... So actually PFT has it right... Read the threads b4 making yourselves look silly.

It makes sense for him to stay here, he has had and will have even more success. Him carrying the load with JS offsetting is only going to greatly extend his career.

It's DeAngelo's words quoted by Steve Reed...not conjecture by Floridiot. Therein lies the difference.

don't click on pft. don't link to pft. don't quote pft.

Just go to rotoworld and do this

Free agent DeAngelo Williams has told friends that he would be interested in playing for the Giants if they don't retain free agent Ahmad Bradshaw.

Williams is going to give the Panthers the first crack at re-signing him, but he'll have plenty of suitors. Bradshaw recently said there's a 75 percent chance he'll be back with the Giants, but other reports have that closer to 50-50. Williams' landing spot -- which we should know withing a few days -- is the most significant fantasy story of the free agency period.

is that so hard?

Best news this morning so far. I want to keep my Madden team in tact, lol. Now let's keep our core together lol.

In all seriousness though I hope we're able to keep the studs we have in place, I want us to have as many offensive and defensive options available as reasonably possible.

I'd love to get Joseph and Amobi, and I'd be happy to get Weddle. Not Heap though. He's too old and his production has dropped a little in recent years. Shockey's a year younger, with roughly the same amount of games missed and productivity.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
