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.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
