2012 Free agency chatter thread

Lee said on the post game after the loss to the giants that he and Carter were going to be together all offseason, I think he said Carter was going to get sick of him..

Carter's speed, specifically his closing speed, is going to make a lot of us happy next year.

lol

Such a clown.

@Calvin Watkins
Jason Garrett seemed to leave the door open about a return for Kevin Ogletree at WR. He mentioned him when asked to speak about the WRs.

I really don't want him back. I like some of the guys on the roster we have right now.

Yeah, no thanks.

[superpunk]

so this is a thing now

Sounds like a done deal......after the Carr deal I'm not saying 100% but at about 2:15est I started hearing there was some celebratory handshakes going on with the Connor team and the Cowboys.

Edit: these reports were from a less reputable source I don't typically use.

Just want to curb the backlash. lol

I wish I could tell you one of my solid sources says it's done but I can't. All I'm hearing from them is that Dallas was being aggressive, still working on it and the thought it was 90% something would be done today.

...

Well he knows someone, I just got an email from my guy saying, "looks good"

Not sure if looks good means they are still talking and it's going good or he believes a deal is done.

I guess we are about to sign connor, marble mouth eatman is saying it..

Nick Eatman ‏ @nickeatman
Cowboys on the verge of signing LB Dan Connor, a teammate of Sean Lee at PSU. Connor expected to be third LB and play many subpackages

ILB just went from a question mark to a strength.

still a question mark.

Its just in a better spot than yesterday. If connor stays healthy and plays the run well he is a big asset and if carter turns out to be a good player we are gold...

really?

bruce carter is who knows and Connor gets concussions from thinking, iirc?

I do like it from the comraderie standpoint.....a couple of guys who are tight and playing important positions can become go to guys in the locker room....

same thing along the offensive line.....nagy, arkin, kowalski, costa, free, smith.....are all kind of young and in the same boat and the ones that make it will have a bond and it will help the locker room....

whats awesome right now is there are no more owens, roy williams types, no more football is just something I do types like bennett and ogletree.

all these guys seem to really love the game.......that is huge for a locker room....whether or not it works on the field none of us know, but guys like connor and vickers who are all about football is a good thing...

Vickers is borderline crazy, I think.

Definitely not there.

 

[Theebs]

yeah hoof that is a good thing.

if dez gets on track we will have two certifiable nuts on offense. That can change attitudes in a hurry.

 

[cmd34]

is Connor officially a done deal?

sorry to ask but my work does something to make twitter load slow as crap here at work...

He's on the verge of signing.

 

[VA Cowboy]

At least we have someone to take up the pregame huddle void that'll be missing without Choice and Brooking.

Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter
Browns make another move along defensive line, reaching agreement with Juqua Parker on a 1-year, $3 million deal.

Not sure if you are saying that is good and being serious but I like guys who are a little crazy. You're never going to see either of these guys half ass it and they're just crazy enough to instill a little fear into the slackers who are around them.
