shitballs.
that sucks.
I really hope he has some sort of loyalty...not that he has to its his career, but hopefully he likes it here and it works out to be the difference.
cause if not this is going to have the potential to be a real mess up front.

I still think we can bid with them.
Plus playing here with the guys on our offense has to mean something. We have a good group here.
If he hates the area, a coach, other players or whatever that could be something that tips the scales...I imagine the money will be similar from every team......I imagine other teams will kick tires on him.
If I were him I would talk to other teams also, its only going to help him.
I am curious as to how long the front office will let this play out. They all have to be in SA tomorrow and camp has to get started...I imagine this is the first pin to fall so it will hold everything else up and needs to get done asap....
Jerry's PC tomorrow is going to be bananas if this is still lingering.

The Bucs are way under the cap. However, not that this means anything, but there is no mention of this anywhere on the Bucs ESPN board.

Bucs gm mark dominick has been good at getting the players they want and keeping his players so that probably means something........But I am not sure cap space will be the difference. I cant imagine if the price is reasonable that we wouldnt match it.

Free is not going to put the Bucs over the top in that division. Period. You would think that the Bucs would go after Clabo from the Falcons and thereby weaken their rival.
I am kind of getting myself resigned to the notion that Free will be gone. This is freaking Jerry's screwup.
1.) He held onto Adams too long. Adams should have been let go at least a year earlier than what he was. That way, we could have used two years to evaluate Free, and thereby get some idea as to what kind of player Free really is as opposed to let him do it for one eyar and then worry about either losing him or overpaying him. If he proved to be the real deal after two seasons, then you franchise him. Then we wouldn't have to be holding onto Colombo because we don't know what Free is going to do.
Alwasy been Jerry's problem: holding onto players too long. And only cutting them because they have to be cut. Something like this salary cap issue had to force his hand, because more than likely he still would have held onto them if he could have.
This whole thing with the Oline is messed up and now there is a mad dash. Rackley should have been drafted in the 3rd round. I believe that Rackley could have and would have came right in and started day 1, regardless of the lockout. Murray would have likely been there in the 4th. Jerry f.ucking panicked, and decided that getting an RB was more important than fixing the Oline. If we had gotten Rackley, then releasing Davis would have been much smoother, we kick Rackley over to LG and then re-sign Kosier and slide him over to RG, because naturally, you do not want two rookies playing the same side of your Oline.

Another thing to consider is that maybe Free's agent is chumming the waters sort of speak. It copuld be like when Atogwe visited the Redskins, Atogwe's agent mentioned to the Redskins that both the Cowboys and the Broncos were interested in Atogwe. Now clearly it wasn't coincidence that both those teams happen to be the Redskins' arch rival and Shanahan's payback, respectively. Certainly the Cowboys are in the market for safety help, but I don't think Atogwe was ever on the radar. Either way, the desired effect was made, and the Redskins ended up inking Atogwe for a much larger contract than what he would have and should have commanded.
Question. Does this Jason Cole mentions that Free is either on his way or IN Tampa Bay at this very moment?

Mission accomplished.
Had to keep him, and we got him at a reasonable deal. Especially considering multiple teams were trying to sign him.

Or it could be that Jerry got fortunate and didn't get burnt this time. Either way it seems like a solid deal for both sides but could've been taken care of earlier without the risk.
