2012 Free agency chatter thread

Midswat · Mar 19, 2012

From ProFootballWeekly whispers:

• Two league observers were surprised at the Cowboys' spending on OGs Nate Livings and Mackenzy Bernadeau — for a combined $30 million, with nearly $10 million of it guaranteed. "I just don't get it," one talent evaluator said. "That's starter money. Those guys couldn't start for us." Said another evaluator: "We had a veteran (minimum salary) grade on Bernadeau, a little above it for (Livings)."

Yeah I saw that, who knows who their source for that was (if there even was one) but its concerning.

My only hope is Callahan really liked some of the things he saw and him and Garrett both felt good about their potential here.

Also, its not a sure thing both of them start.

its smart, its a lousy division and they have an excellent head coach who will only make the defense better the longer he is there..

the tebow stuff is going to be hillarious....when they trade him to jacksonville and then next year they will have a top 5 pick either sent to denver or to use on a qb.

Just think there will be Bronco's fans actually irate that the mile high miracle man is being replaced by Manning.

first time they lose or he has a bad game, definitely

Cr122 · Mar 19, 2012

Would you give up a fourth round pick for Tebow?

Or maybe a third?

I think his value is higher. I think one of these desperate teams would trade a 1st.

I wouldn’t. He can’t throw a straight pass (hyperbolt).

Fickle fans usually do without looking at the big picture.

But as of right now without Manning even throwing one pass for the organization there are delusional fans that believe Tebow is the long term solution in Denver and want no part of Manning.

Maybe a 6th. Let him sit a few years and develop. But I honestly don't think Denver unloads him. He is just Manning's back up now.

If more than four teams are interested in Tebow then, yeah, it could see a first or second.

He would then have to be their starter.

It's being reported that Denver will trade Tebow. NFL Network just reported it.

Titans to host top free agent pass rusher Kam Wimbley

Posted by Evan Silva on March 19, 2012, 12:46 PM EDT

Jim Wyatt of the Nashville Tennessean reports that Wimbley is visiting the Titans on Monday.

It’s no secret that the Titans planned to make an aggressive run at Mario Williams entering free agency. The front office had to scrap those plans once owner Bud Adams forced the organization’s focus toward Peyton Manning. The Titans have lost out on Manning to the Broncos, and it’s fair to argue that Adams’ meddling cost them Williams, too.

But Wimbley would be an awfully nice consolation prize.

Middy, get on a plane to Nashville and put a stop to this.

Mr.Po · Mar 19, 2012

Tebow could go to Miami and win or lose his name alone would put butts in the seats for a rapidly declining organization.

No way would I give up a high pick for him. Maybe a couple of middle round picks (3rd - 4th) spread out over 2 years.
