BIG Free Agent Moves Today

[WARHORSE]

Lets keep it rolling.

Update as we go.



Bears trade for Brandon Marshall.......wow. With Bates there as OC, wonder if Eddie is a target too.

[camdisco24]

Shocked when I saw that.
I also heard they will be renaming the Bears the Chicago Divas.

[wayninja]

I wouldn't call it 'big' by any stretch, but the 49'ers signed Cox to a 2 year deal

[DenBronx]

Well then there's this thread here.

S Meriweather going to visit Denver

from article:


As free agency opened, the Broncos had identified two primary needs: A proven starting safety who can help bring along the kids Rahim Moore and Quinton Carter, and, well, a quarterback.

The Broncos have reached out to Brian Dawkins about his intentions for the 2012 season, but the 16-year NFL safety and nine-time Pro Bowler has said while he's close to a decision on whether or not he will retire, he's not 100 percent sure. Dawkins, 38, is now a free agent.

When Super Mario & Meachem land tonight, the airport should immediately shutdown afterwards! Until they sign. #justsayin #BillsMafia

Broncos, Dolphins both in contact with NT Soliai

With negotiations ongoing with nose tackle Broderick Bunkley, the Denver Broncos have reached out to Miami Dolphins free agent nose tackle Paul Soliai, according to NFL Network’s Albert Breer.

Soliai represents one of the few interior impact players on the free-agent market. NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reports the Dolphins are pushing to retain him, according to a league source.

A fourth-round pick by Miami in the 2007 draft, Soliai earned his first Pro Bowl nod in 2011.

S Meriweather going to visit Denver

UGH. He should not be allowed into our facility. This guy is garbage both on the field and off. If you thought Raheem Moore and Carter were liabilities in coverage, Meriweather is on a whole new level. Saw him with Chicago last year and I gotta say, there was a reason Lovie Smith benched his ass so fast and Belichick cut him after his "pro bowl" years. Get LaRon Landry here pronto.

[CoachChaz]

No link, but overheard VJax to Tampa

[WARHORSE]

NFL Network just said the following: Vincent Jackson is going to Tampa. Piere Garcon to Washington. Josh Morgan to Washington. Mario is headed to Buffalo with Manningham for a visit.

I also do not like Brandon Merriweather and dont want him here so I hope that doesnt come to anything.

Kyle Orton is visiting Cowboys.

[Magnificent Seven]

Reports: Raiders RB Bush visiting Cards.


Multiple outlets are reporting that free-agent RB Michael Bush is visiting Arizona. He rushed for 977 yards and seven TDs last season with Oakland. If the reports are true, it's somewhat surprising given the Cards' cap constraints and their depth at the position with Beanie Wells, Ryan Williams and LaRod Stephens-Howling.

Id rather have Reggie Nelson than Merriweather.

Some reports saying Royal to Redskins... Sad because I love Eddie! Wish he could have been more productive here...

[turftoad]

So.... Garcon, Morgan and Royal to the Skins?

sounds like Eddie Royal is close to signing with the #redskins -- back with Shanahan, their WR corps looks set!

The Seattle Seahawks will not lose defensive lineman Red Bryant in free agency.

Bryant, who started all 16 games and had an excellent season in Seattle last season, has re-signed with the team, according to NFL Network.

I hope this Manning thing is not holding us back, as it appears most of the good FAs are going to other teams

This happens every year carol. Its nothing new with us. We only buy the free agents that are 33 and older. Its our little niche market.

[dogfish]

I hope this Manning thing is not holding us back, as it appears most of the good FAs are going to other teams

not true at this point. . .

now, give it another day or so, and i'll be just as concerned. . . :D

but we're talking to bunkley and soliai, which is priority el numero uno. . . and while i can't say that we'll go after any of them, guys like tracy porter, benjarvus green-ellis, mike tolbert, leron mcclain, jameel mcclain, dan connor, david hawthorne, jason jones, robert meachem, mario manningham and a number of others are all still available. . . that doesn't mean i'm dismissing your concern, at all-- it WILL become a reality very quickly if the big-head SOB drags it out much further. . .

it's not panic time quite yet, though. . . we've got a day or two. . .

wow dog i like the new level headed you. way to stay positive

[MileHighCrew]

I think there has only been 4-6 signing and not the big names. I don't think this is a fair statement at this point.

[dogfish]

wow dog i like the new level headed you. way to stay positive

lol. . . thanks, steve. . . it's not a new me, though-- i just call it like i see it. . .

and if five or six of those names get signed in the next twelve hours, and we still don't have any clear indication on manning, i might start freaking out. . .

:fear:

That's different from every year how?

[Dzone]

so eddie royal just got offered 12 million ovedr 2 years by the redskins?

[Denver Native (Carol)]

That's different from every year how?

Where did I say it was different?

[Dzone]

yes unfortunately EFX will be tightwads all the way thru free agency and then sign for cheap whatever is left over ...

About the only transaction affecting the Broncos today seems the loss of Eddie Royal. 1246

Two years and $12 million, I can see why he left.

[Dzone]

perrish cox signs with 49ers

[MileHighCrew]

it is so early. Don't be down on Denver for not making the first signing, when they might be making the biggest signing

[Canmore]

perrish cox signs with 49ers

Good luck with that.

[BORDERLINE]

Redskins upgraded their WR corps in 1 day!! that's crazy. Add RG3 and Shanny has set UP his team for a full out attack on the NFC East. Let's see how that works out for him.

Then the Bears. Marshall and maybe Wayne. Cutler is gonna have weapons along with Forte. They can make some noise

[Dzone]

Orton drawing interest from both cowboys and indians. To continue his career as a back up. Too bad he cant stay with the chiefs.

Yup. Some things about Snyder will never change . . .

[Lancane]

I'm not too worried, I didn't expect Denver to be in the hunt for Mario Williams, Vincent Jackson (though I did have a slight hope about VJ) and some of the other names flying right now. And I do expect this to be a defensive heavy free agent period for Denver, and so far that looks to be the case with those we've scheduled visits with.

[Canmore]

I loved Eddie while he was here, but that is too much.

Now in hindsight. He should have accepted that trade to go to Miami last season. Who knows maybe He would have done well and still been a starter. Now He will just ride the PINE. But the Cowboys are a good place for him since Romo tends to miss games.

[WARHORSE]

Vincent Jackson is a BUCK.

Too bad for him.

[SmilinAssasSin27]

Why is that? Freeman will be a monster as soon as they learn to keep him upright.

[CoachChaz]

Cecil Lammey ‏ @cecillammey

Garcon wasnt much of anything without Manning...Royal wasnt much of anything period and Morgan cant stay healthy. Add that they'll cut Moss and they have 3 guys that have a combined 3 good seasons. Their WR corps is set alright...with mediocrity.

Im glad Snyder doesnt own Denver

[SmilinAssasSin27]

I actually like Garcon. He came on when the QB situation steadied itself during the season. He had some very nice games. Is he as good as when he was w/ PM? Maybe not. Is he as bad as his 2012 total stats indicate? Likely not.

[turftoad]

Campbell is now Cutlers backup.

[SmilinAssasSin27]

interesting...wonder if they're still after Mario. Can't have to much $$ left over.

[weazel]

Cortland Finnegan to the Rams

Because hes a BUC.:coffee:

[bcbronc]

Reggie Wayne re-ups with the Colts. If he ain't coming here, glad he's not going to influence PM's decision.

surprising, but good. I really didn't want him if Maning does come here. I'd rather get a younger guy like Meachem to go with our current WRs.

[WARHORSE]

Too bad for Reggie. He coulda been a Bronco.

[Dzone]

Reggie Wayne didnt want to uproot his family

[BroncoStud]

Why is that? Freeman will be a monster as soon as they learn to keep him upright.

Freeman sucks. No intangibles - at all.

[SmilinAssasSin27]

couldn't disagree more. but time will tell.

[BroncoStud]

Ya this year will be big for him, he's got an elite WR and appears to be getting help at OL.

Time to step up.

[Medford Bronco]

couldn't disagree more. but time will tell.

I like him better than Tebow. He is not bad and could do well when not hurt. He was good in 2010 in a much harder
division than the AFC West

[TimHippo]

Reggie Wayne re-ups with the Colts. If he ain't coming here, glad he's not going to influence PM's decision.

Ah, the Colts are making a move for Peyton Manning!

[tomjonesrocks]

Where did I say it was different?

I guess you didn't. I'm just as frustrated as I am every year during free agency--seems like things are playing out as always.

My bad.

[jhildebrand]

Word in NFL circles is Brandon Marshall was in another 'incident' that will call for league review. The twitter machine will be lighting up with this soon.
