2006 NFL Free Agency Period and Season
 

So - how are those of you interested in football feeling about the free agency moves so far?



I'm thinking that I'm now going to be a New Orleans fan....:p

I'll be a fan of whatever team T.O. goes to


im serious too

It looks like you may be rooting for Dallas; they're the favorite right now to sign him. It looks like Jones is going to offer him the money he wants.

My team (the Giants) signed Sam Madison; I'm a little concerned as to whether he's worth the cash, but he has to be better than Will Allen.

Philly had LaCharles Bentley, or so they though but Cleveland got him instead. That would have been huge. Howard could be a good signing for them but they gave him a ton of money which might not have been smart due to being injured a lot.

Dont hate on Will Allen... well... ok so he wasnt that great nevermind lol

I am sooooooooooo glad the 'Aints picked up a new quarterback. I was thinking that Brooks was sleeping with someone to keep that job. I apologize, he should have left years ago.

Maybe, I'll go to a game or 2. :D :confused:

While you in NO are happy, some of us in San Diego are :rolleyes: at this decision. Philip Rivers better be the isht or else.

Look at all the big moves the Bears made! I am listing them here:

I've sort of joked that I hope the Chargers either (A1) lose every game this season and/or (B2) finish last in the division (yes, I'm bitter) - I think the "higher-ups" have really dropped the ball on this one, and I hope Brees has an even better season this year than the past two. :p

Well, the expectations with him and Will Peterson were pretty high. The Giants were supposed to be set at corner for the next few years, but that didn't work out as planned.

I am now a Cowboys fan

Terrell Eldorado Owens
 

Has gone to Dallas. It actually figures because Jerry Jones is a showy, maverick owner. I wonder how long the honeymoon could last once Too (sic) blows up on Drew Bledsoe.

I'd actually thought that Terrell Eldorado would end up in the Atl, despite previous issues with Falcons coaches who were with the Niners back when Too was there. Michael Vick needs a prime-time receiver.

I can't wait til Bill Parcells puts T.O. in his place.

Re: Terrell Eldorado Owens
 

Apparently, the incident when the Niners were playing Dallas (T.O. celebrating on the star on Dallas' field) put T.O. in Jerry's mind permanently. I'm interested to see how he and Parcells get along, although Bill has a good history with guys with selfish reps (Terry Glenn, Keyshawn Johnson).

I'm with you though on the Bledsoe thing - I wonder how long it will take before the two of them have words.

I'll give it a week.....a month MAX!!!

I'm still rooting for my Giants :D

Some Philly fans are hoping for TO to become the next Wendel Davis of Michael Irvin for those in the know.:o

Vinatieri signs with the Colts. This is crazy on a number of levels.

Would the pats get Vanderjagt as a replacement? That would be funny.

Re: Re: Terrell Eldorado Owens
 

Bledsoe is a smart QB who can still throw the football damn well. They will do fine. And hes a slow white guy, so TO won't have to worry about him trying to run alot. From what I hear in Dallas.....Parcelss and TO are already scheduled to have meetings this week and next week to discuss behavior and what Ole Tuna expects out of TO. I think they will get along good, surely TO isn't dumb enough to think that Parcells will take any of his shit.

Apparently they were talking with Paul Edinger's agent yesterday. The big question now is, what are they doing to do with their $20 million under the cap. I assume part of it would be an extension for Seymour, but there's a question of whether they'd make a big free agent signing.

I'm kinda sad about this.

I honestly didn't think he'd leave. He has endorsement deals here in New England, and I just assumed the Pats would offer him a comparable salary. I guess either something happened, or he wanted to go indoors for the rest of his career.

So the NFL Draft is this weekend - who do you think your team will get?

With the Giants picking up Arrington this past week, I think they're going to go for a CB in the first round. Maybe the guy from Virginia Tech (Jimmy Anderson) if he falls their way. After that, they need to beef up the WR spot and OL, and maybe pick up another linebacker later in the draft.

The Eagles are rumored to go with the d-line. Possible move up to get Ngata. some think they will draft a wr first round but I don't see it.

Ksigkid, what do you think of the arrington signing? I think its a good move for the Giants personally and the money isn't all that bad unless he reaches all of his performance bonus money.

I think it's a very good signing. Like you said, the money isn't all that bad, and he's only 27. They needed a young, athletic starting linebacker, and I think he really fits that role. All in all, I'm happy they made the move.

Brett Favre is definitely coming back for one more year.

My team will take "the best players available" and while that sounds hokey the philosophy got them Tatupu last year....

They also really needed to add to their linebacking core last year; I think that was more the reason why they added Tatupu. (Nothing against Niko Koutouvides, who went to my senior prom with one of my friends.)

It is interesting though, to realize that you can't really believe anything coming from the teams prior to the draft.

Seattle got two good pick ups. Burleson and Petterson. Adding Peterson to that fast LB corp makes them even more dangerous. And although Burleson sucked last year (injuries), he is still very speedy and dangerous. He'll definately be on my fantasy team next year.

MI don't think its hokey. Most average to decent teams draft for the best available or fill a need that they see a year or two down the road, right? Filling by need sometimes has teams reaching for players too early like the cowboys when they took Quincy Carter.

WTF Broncos?
