The Official NFL Off-Season Thread - Tony Gonzalez traded to the Falcons

[dmxfury]

St. Pierre is on the Cards as well? Geez, they have everything but the ownership (which has always been their downfall).


And Ray Lewis is probably very surprised how low his value was on the market. As a fan of Pitt, I'm glad Scott is gone from there and only have Ray comeback for 1, maybe 2 productive years.

^ Pretty obvious Leinart is going to have to sit these next 2 years.

My bad, but didn't Donald Thomas get hurt pretty bad? Isn't that why we were mixing and matching guards towards the end there?

If he's back healthy, and Smiley comes back healthy, then we could have a good young O line. But I would still like an upgrade at the guards. Just incase.

The Cardinals put all their chips on the table with this one.

Quan's under contract already for another 2-3 years I believe. They technically don't have to do anything with him.

Depends how you see it. He broke his leg during the season opener and didn't even know he broke it so he keep playing in the game (1 bad MoFo). If it wasan ACL or something similar, I would consider it bad. I believe with the proper rehab, his leg will be stronger than before he broke it. Plus he's ahead ofschedule!

And since you and I know this team loves their Linemen, they will add more as the offseason goes. We need CB's, a WR and NT bad.

Posted by Mike Florio on March 4, 2009, 6:30 p.m.

Free-agent cornerback Philip Buchanon has agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions, a league source tells us.

Per the source, it's a two-year, $8.5 million contract.

Buchanon most recently played for the Buccaneers.

The one-time first-round pick of the Raiders started every game last year in Tampa.

Buchanon also has played for the Texans.

No bad. The Fins should have signed him

the Bucs are wildin right now... as of a few days ago they had $61 million in cap room

I understand about Ced, but why Coles? The Bengals let TJ go due to being confident in Caldwell/Simpson, and having Chad/Henry there already. Waste of money unless they are moving Chad, or they have zero confidence in the young guys
Shhh, let me have my peace at mind and joy

Broncos continue signing spreewith Simms, Arrington
Posted: March 4th, 2009 | Adam Schefter | Tags: ChrisSimms, Denver Broncos, J.J. Arrington

Denver started the week with a quarterback controversy and is ending it with a new quarterback. Free-agent quarterback Chris Simms has reached agreement with the Broncos on a two-year contract. He will be insurance for starting quarterback Jay Cutler, whose name emerged last week in trade talks.

Simms hasn't signed yet but soon will and he will have gone from Tampa to Tennessee to Denver.

Finally, Denver signed free agent running back J.J. Arrington to a four-year contract. The deal was signed last week, the league rejected the contract's language, but it was redone Wednesday. Arrington is a Bronco.

If so, then maybe disregard my opening statement.

I read a few interviews w/ Cunningham and Schwartz and both are vague on the defensive scheming.

It was mostly: "We'll let the players dictate the scheme we use" or something to that effect.

Shawn Springs Leaves Philly Without Contract..

---

The Eagles are looking at free agent Shawn Springs as a potential replacement for Brian Dawkins at free safety.
Springs didn't sign at his Tuesday visit, but talks may be rekindled. 2008 fourth-round pick Quintin Demps is the Birds' only free safety under contract.

[krey1231]

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles make a run at McFadden or go back to Springs. Heard Sheldon was to move to safety or be on the trading block.

Denver is paying J.J. Arrington $10 million to be a kick returner.

Matt Birk signs with Baltimore

Also agreeing to a contract Wednesday is six-time Pro Bowl C Matt Birk. Birk has played all 11 of his NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings.

"To add a player like Matt, who will also give us outstanding leadership, makes us a better team," Harbaugh said. "We're not standing pat. We're moving forward and getting better."

 

[downtown43]

The Ravens got a great deal with Birk. Apparently, his contract is 4 years $12 million.

I can't believe he would leave his hometown team for so little, there must have really been something he liked about Baltimore's staff or organization.


I was worried about the C position after we lost Jason Brown to a large contract in St Louis, but now we have great stability for the next couple years.

Nah..him and Childress have been having issues ever since Childress was hired...I think Birk had enough

Have I mentioned how much I hate I have for Brad Childress on here yet?

Safety Roy Williams wants Dallas Cowboys to act today

Roy Williams wants to know what his future holds immediately, so his agent, Jordan Woy, has asked the Dallas Cowboys to either cut or trade the strong safety by today.



The Cowboys have made Williams available for trade but the market has been slow, largely because teams believe the club will eventually release him. Williams is scheduled to count $6.6 million against the 2009 salary cap.

If the Cowboys trade or cut Williams, they will save roughly $2 million against the cap. His 2008 season was cut short by a twice-fractured right forearm that limited him to three games. He finished with nine tackles.

bout time they get rid of him...
