PrintFree agency is upon us. Trades and cuts are happening fast and furious and there ought to be more than a few midnight signings this year. There's a couple of things I want to cover really quick to make sure people know the basics about compensation when it comes to tags and the dates of free agency.
Here is what players can expect to receive in return for signing their RFA tender
| Player with FOUR Accrued Seasons | |
|---|---|
| Tender amount | Compensation required |
| $3,168,000* | First- and third-round draft picks |
| $2,521,000* | First-round draft pick |
| $1,759,000* | Second-round draft pick |
| $1,176,000* | Determined by RFA's original draft status |
|
*or 110% of player’s 2009 Paragraph 5 Salary, whichever is greater
|
| Player with THREE Accrued Seasons | |
|---|---|
| Tender amount | Compensation required |
| $3,043,000* | First- and third-round draft picks |
| $2,396,000* | First-round draft pick |
| $1,684,000* | Second-round draft pick |
| $1,101,000* | Determined by RFA's original draft status |
Teams have until midnight tonight to announce RFA tenders. Teams then have until April 15th to acquire a restricted free agent. If a team makes a move for an RFA then the original team has until April 21 to match the offer.
What I'm going to do with this post is actually list the RFAs for each team and what tender they've received, as well as any UFAs and cut players that might be of interest.

Great Post!
This is the perfect resource for everyone to reference.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
Can’t believe the Redskins just cleaned house like that. I wonder if they’ll cut more than that even
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
Got to clear out dead weight to spend on the big names
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
Peppers
Who do they go after if Peppers goes to Chicago?

What is the deal with Kirk Morrison?
What would we have to give up? I wouldn’t mind getting him one bit.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
3rd round tender for Morrison
I haven’t seen enough of his play to know if he’s worth it or not
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
He's good
Probably the 3rd best player on that D behind Seymour and Asomugha. I would quickly give up a 3rd for him… not one hesitation on that. Doesn’t sound like he wants to leave though.
Check out his statline on tackles:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7254/career;ylt=AhpHewXeBwfey.vhCDNA3f.uLYF
The guy gets to the ball in a hurry. It’d be like having Willis and Mini-Willis as our ILB’s.
Here’s some highlights:

Here is a more in-depth look at his character on Inside the NFL too:

Doesn't miss a game either

I'll have to pull out the Game Rewind and watch some Raiders games
I was thinking today how cool it would be if college football had something like the NFL Game Rewind. You could have each conference set it up and split the revenue through their schools. I’d pay to be able to watch every game from the MWC or WAC and at the end of the season I’d be paying to watch games on players I’m looking at for draft stuff.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
He plays hard but is limited physically. I believe he is the guy Frank Gore floored in the training camp scrimmage last fall.
great coverage LB
but I think the FO will roll with TKO
I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice.
That would be nice. ESPN Gameplan is kind of like that though.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
That's the one you pay for during the regular season right?
It doesn’t really let you go back at the end of the season and watch?
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.

Man,
The time it must have taken putting this post together… with all the links and such (rec’d).
So many good/impact players up there that it’s kind of fruitless to just throw out names, but that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
Anthony Hargrove I heard got a 3d rd tender and may be worth the cost; Gathier from Baltimore I think could be worth the 1st rd tender they put on him (if we see our selves going OL w/ one of our first two picks); and A. Randle El could be a nice slot-receiver pick-up and would compliment VD and Crabs nicely.
There are more guys than those three I’d like to see in a Niners uniform, but those three in particular would be equitable choices and cure some of our deficiencies we would otherwise try to figure out through the draft.
Chris Cohan- YOU'RE FIRED!

I like Carr over Hill
We really never seen Carr with an OK Oline… if he signs and beats out Smith that would be great. An experienced QB, who is athletic, can throw with velocity and from what I remember was accurate when he did have time. I say sign him!!
Joe and Steve were under the same system for years... don't expect Smith to be super so soon.
We... don't have an OK Oline.

Julius Peppers to Chicago
I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice.
We know. :-)
just waiting for the “official” word. I’ve got a front page story ready to roll as soon as it’s official
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
It's official: 6 years, $91.5 million
the link: http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/news/story?id=4969071
I love how they say in the article:
The 6-foot-7 Peppers brings uncanny athletic ability but questionable consistency, along with the 81 sacks he collected in eight seasons with Carolina — 10½ last year.
In other words, the Bears are paying not for the sacks he’s going to get, but for the sacks he got in the past for the Panthers.
Jason Hill is turning the corner!
My take?
This is a replay of last season’s offseason for the Bears: lots of assets (money/draft picks) out the door, and very little improvement on the field. When he first came into the league, I loved Peppers—a basketball guy, a North Carolina guy (Go ‘Heels!), an absolute beast, a ridiculous athlete—but the more I look at the way the last couple of seasons have gone the more I think he’s just a guy who’s in it for himself.
Jason Hill is turning the corner!
I don't agree with the original round tender
Anyone who signs either Brooks or Baas will have to give up a 2nd round pick, but because Baas was drafted in the 2nd round and Brooks in the 3rd, the 49ers only have to pay 1.226 million to Baas while paying 1.759 million to Brooks. In addition, that means teams only have to make an original round tender on a first round pick to get 1st round compensation. Veteran players should be paid for what they’ve done on the field, not for where they were originally drafted.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.
I tend to agree
but it’s the way it’s set up and it makes business sense.
Also the tenders don’t preclude a long term deal getting done—they just give the team more time.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
There's an easy fix
Just change it so original round tenders can only be used on players drafted in rounds 3-7.
Don't trust this guy. He lies.

I liked Cromartie
People (Drew) forgets that he had 10 INTs in 2007 which was the last time the Chargers had a pass rush. People also forget how hard it is to cover a receiver when the QB has all day to throw. I think he will be pretty good with the Jets, the QB will be forced to throw before he is ready, and I think Cro benefits from it.
I thought the Niners should have at least tried...
But im not too dissapointed that they didnt. The guy has some serious character issues. I dont think he would have fit into Coach Sing’s TEAM philosophy.
How does he have issues, he was comfortable with Phillips coaching style and they went with a style that doesn't work for anyone on their team.
He would have been perfect for the Niners and better than all of our CB’s.

http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/jets/cash_for_kiddies_CCy0WKcGJc6usqimWaO7cK
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
Generally people spend the first half of their life making mistakes and the 2nd half paying for them.
in this case I would expect Chromartie to understand he needs to be very productive to make the money he is gonna want to have in his pocket, you can’t dodge CS. I don’t think this is a reason to pass on him, he was young and knuckleheaded obviously, but he is still a better CB than we have on our roster.
If Goldson wants to be paid more than Rolle, offer him up in the deal for E Berry please.
I'm not convinced that he's better than anyone we have on our roster
I think Clements is still a great CB. Bly did very well for us, I like Spencer and I like Brown.
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
THat's debateable, he has more speed and size and better coverage ability. No one on our roster has had 10 int's in one season.
He had a bad year lst year and may have had more INT’s than our CB’s.
Equation= 1,2,2,3,3 is a lot better than 1,1,2,3 in a deep draft, especially when your 1 nets you E berry.

When asked about the QB situation at the combine, McDaniels was saying that they believed Tom was getting better and was going in to work every day to get better.

Ravens get Boldin
Boldin + 5 to Ravens for 3 and 4
Why couldn’t the 49ers throw that crappy package together?
Because the Cardinals wouldn't accept that kind of deal from the Niners
Any team demands a much higher price if they’re trading within conference and know they have to play against that player 2 a year for the next however many years. I’m sure if the Niner’s inquired about Boldin the price was at least one of the first rounders this year.
Plus, from a team building standpoint, making that trade essential stunts any growth for Josh Morgan. Plus it’s not like Boldin is a speed guy. The team essentially has 3 possession/YAC receivers and no deep threat. You throw in the cost of the contract along with the other draft pick cost and impact on our WR core and I don’t know if it would be worth it.
Well...
Sure, yes fine, that all makes complete and total sense. …but the fact is that the Cards wouldn’t have asked for a first rounder either way if the 49ers had went after him. If that was the case, the 49ers probably would have went after Brandon Marshall or Miles Austin/Vincent Jackson if they were going to give up a first round pick. The fact is that, even a 2nd round pick would have been worth Boldin (in the sense of his actual value).
I agree with the fact that we’ve got 3 possession receivers but I disagree with the grown stunting of Morgan. The kid has a nice upside, but its not going to be anything higher than a 2. If they can get in a WR who can help him on his path, why not do it? Why not bring in a guy like Boldin who can help Morgan (since they’re both YAC guys [even though YAC isn’t officially counted by the NFL, go figure]).
Rebuilding? Eh, I think we’re starting to think about winning. A couple years ago, sure, but rebuilding? No.
I disagree
The cardinals ask for a first rounder for exactly the reason you mentioned. Essentially they are saying that they don’t want Boldin to go to a division rival and thus make all the other options more rational unless the team was dead set on getting Boldin. My whole point was that the reason why the Niners couldn’t throw a package like that together is that the Niners never really had a realistic chance at obtaining Boldin in the first place.
I agree with you that we need to think about winning now and I don’t see mentioning of rebuilding anywhere in my previous post. I just think that the drop off from Boldin to Morgan (plus forcing Morgan to either play the slot where he’s not as effective or having Morgan sit on the bench all together) isn’t worth tying up that much money or draft picks into a player who has been injury prone the past couple seasons.
The other thing is, do you really see Boldin as being anything more than a 2 receiver in this league? I’m not saying he’s going to be another Peerless Price when he goes to Baltimore, but the numbers he has put up have been clearly due in part of the system he’s been in and the fact that he’s been playing across from one of the top 5 receivers in the league.
My fault
I thought you had said re-building when you had said building.
As for Boldin, I really do see him being a #1 in the correct offense. He’s got all the tools to be a #1 but could easily end up being another TJ Houshmandzadeh. That being said, I think he needs another WR on the other side of him for him to be anything decent. His numbers won’t be anywhere near as good as they were with Fitzgerald and Warner, but they shouldn’t be anything less than a #1. There was a point in time (a very small one) that you could have argued Boldin > Fitzgerald.
Because the Cardinals won't trade Boldin to a division rival
Baltimore is an AFC team, it made sense for the Cardinals to ship him there.

Makes total sense. They got something back, and traded a problem child far, far away.

The second-year head coach sent Vanden Bosch a text message just after midnight Friday while parked outside his gated community, toting a bottle of Opus One and three stuffed animals – Lions, of course – for his three young children.
Another fan said this:
with a bottle of wine and when they finished up the wine, they finished up the deal… I guess that means we have to get guys drunk to get them to sign with us. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. GO LIONS
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.

Rams are finalizing a deal with Giants DT Fred Robbhins
Robbins has a bit of an injury history but when he’s healthy he’s very, very good, averaging 45-40 tackles per season and 5-6 sacks.
So, that leaves the draft wide open. The Lions have two new defensive linemen they’ve already added via FA and the Rams have added a great one to go opposite Chris Long.
Does this mean that Suh and McCoy slide to picks 3 and 4?
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
Very possible.
Rams need a QB desperately and the Lions need a LT that doesn’t avg 10 sacks per season since he signed a new contract.
Mock, Yeah, ing, Yeah, Berry Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
CLE #7- 1500pts, #39 510 pts, #103 92pts--49ers 2 1st 2200pts
1a. traded for Berry, 1b. traded for Berry(CLE) 1c. #7 Eric Berry, 2a(Cle) Valdheer, 2b Mike Johnson OG, 3. Jacoby Ford WR, 4a(Cle) D McCourty 4b. Stephen Williams, 5. Trindion Holliday, 6. Zac Robinson 7. FB
I've heard that if the the Lions draft Okung
they’d slide Backus over to LG. I think that would solve two problems with them. Backus isn’t cutting it as a LT anymore but he’d be an upgrade at LG for them
Yes Drew K, Tim Tebow will probably get picked in the first round.
And an expensive Guard at that.
I think Okung is a no brainer, LT and QB for the future of the franchise makes the most sense for them.
Still thinking we should trade up for Berry!!
I do wonder what DET is going to do with their 2nd round pick though
Maybe a RB?

Equation= 1,2,2,3,3 is a lot better than 1,1,2,3 in a deep draft, especially when your 1 nets you E berry.
the chargers also have holes at NT and rush OLB, the two most important positions in a 3-4, and may see their defense as more in need of help than their offense. They may think they’ll more likely find a good RB deep in the draft than good pass rushers/d-linemen.
Would you take Matthews over Cody or Kindle if they are all equal needs?

49ers meeting with Justin Fargas
For some ridiculous reason.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
Actually
when I saw that the raiders released Fargas I thought he would be a great compliment to Gore.. a tough runner behind Gore, they would beat up the DL throughout the game. I think he’d be a great guy to have.
Joe and Steve were under the same system for years... don't expect Smith to be super so soon.
What??
I dont think that at all. Fargas is washed up. Sorry but I dont want the Raiders scraps. I am hoping with everything I have that he is not signed. As bad bad as Coffee did last year, I would much rather have him than Fart-gas. He has only had one decent season out of 7. No thanks on Huggy Bear.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
I don't think he will sign and I wonder why there is interest, however he did manage to arry the ball fo ran avg of 3.8ypc.
Meh is the best response to this, IMO.
Do you think that our teams inquiry or what have you, regarding fargas, means anything in regards to drafting Spiller, as in the may pass on him?
If Goldson wants to be paid more than Rolle, offer him up in the deal for E Berry please.
I think Meh pretty much sums it up
He’s in the area, was a starter last year, not a huge amount of tread on him. Couldn’t hurt to take a look-see

They could. I hope not but I am not holding my breath on Spiller or Berry. I’d like to get both…or either or… but I just get this feeling that we’re going to be unhappy on draft day based on the moves FO has been maing in free agency. Seems like they are set on mediocrity. I was almost sure we would have done something on our secondary in free agency… well, so much for that. I’m not going to set my hopes high for the draft just to be let down. If they surpise me, I’d rather it happen that way. There’s other things I’d like to happen such as getting Gaither but I am not hopeful on that either based on McCloughan’s words of wisdom in that we wont be doing much in free agency. Seems to me like they are going to count on Sing to coach up average players and be content with that.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
As far as Gaither/Bushrod/Someone
I think the Pashos move kinda forces their hand a bit.

I think both Bushrod and Gaither bear investigating
If it works to pick one of them up, and sign for a reasonable price, and if Staley can move to RT, then the line starts looking like an above average line.
They're called RUNS for a reason.
Bushrod and Gaither
Bushrod makes the most sense, but only at RT.
He was easily the Saints worst staring OL.

What about Ryan Lilja?
The Colts just released him, but he was their starting left guard last year so I would have to believe he would be an upgrade over Baas. I haven’t watched him too often and don’t know how he would fit in the 9ers system but I wanted to get some other opinions.
Ryan Lilja
6’2" 290 lbs (Read undersized) missed 2008 season on the PUP list.
“He has to work to keep his pad level down and will struggle to leverage his blocks and get much push at the line of scrimmage. He is a smart blocker who is aware in pass protection and picks up games like stunts and twists and takes good angles to get to the second level.”
As an example, on ESPN Scouts Inc. Lilja gets a 62 and Baas gets a 65.
Just saying doesn’t sound like an upgrade or a guy worth picking up.

that the starting guard on the SB champs would be rated that low, but I was curious as they rarely ran the ball. And there is no way they will ever go after an undersized lineman with Singletary at the helm.

Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
I just love how we are bringing in all these mediocre players. Washington may not be the same again and he’s getting up there in age for a RB. He’ll be 30 in two years. Fargas who could never solidify a starting spot with the Raiders even, tread on those tires is thin. David Carr who has never showed that he is starter worthy…I dont mind the pick but not thrilled either. And now Becht who has this as a stat line for the last 3 years (‘07- 5 catches, ’08 – 6 catches, andd ’09 – 7 catches)? Didn’t we just bring in Tony Curtis?
Crowded elevators smell different to midgets.
They'd use Becht as that blocking TE that we'd want
he wouldn’t be a marquee player. Fargas never met with the 49ers—Barrows debunked that. David Carr is being brought in as a backup and I can’t get too worked up over that.

Just Got Caught Up On The NFL News
18 hour days at school and work, without access to the net, man that sucks; not too happy about that!!!
So it appears the 49ers are now “extremely active in free agency.
Anthony Becht visited the 49ers today ”http://blog.49ers.com/2010/03/09/free-agent-te-becht-visits-49ers/" >link . I am interested to hear why the 49ers are in negotiations with a 3rd TE shortly after signing Tony Curtis!!! The same goes for the 49ers interest in blocking TE Chris Baker link
The 49ers are also interested in restricted free agent RB Leon Washington, who received a 2nd round tender from the New York Jets. Now this kinda makes sense to me, if i am correct, Washington is a darn good return man who has a great per carry average throughout his career. It makes sense to get a proven RB, rather than go after the Best’s/Mccluster’s of the world in the 2nd round, at least it is an option. The 49ers could also work out a deal with the Jets that would give them a pick later than the 2nd round.

Raves are rumored to be interested in a trade for Gaither
High round draft choice (no specifics given). Wonder if they’d give up a conditional 2nd for him?
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Conditional second?
They have a 1st round tender on him so I think the best that could be done would be a solid second or maybe a swap of first with some other sundry picks swapped around here and there. I was actually just looking at the blackbirds as far as picks. They have amongst the most picks really, after Cincy they have the most I think (at 11) . There are essentially 3 maybe 4 teams I saw pick wise that I wanted to trade with Cincy, Balty, Miami and Buffalo. So how about a swap of 1’s and 2’s for with Balty?
The diff in the 1s is 230 and the diff of 2’s is 100 (total of 330 is equal to our #2 pick). They can’t do any trading of their 3rd or 4th rounders since they are compensatory picks so that landlocks them from moving around.
What I’d love to be able to do is this:
For Gaither swap our first and second rounders with them and try and get one (or both) of their 5th rounders. Maybe throw in a conditional 3rd or preferably 4th for next year too if we need to sweeten the pot. Sound like too much wheeling and dealing?
How silly am I being here?

Conditional 2nd
IOW, a 2nd round pick that could move into a 1st round if the player does well.
I think Baltimore will want lots more than just a swap in picks. If we give them that 2nd and swap 1st round picks that might do it.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Hmm well let's think about this then
We’d lose the second, and we’d get their first (pick 25) but we’d not get their 57…hmmm wonder if they would be interested in a QB LOL. We could lose that 49 to get Bushrod and he’s 25. Either way without going Safety in the first we’re probably out of the running for a safety that has value. That’s what’s worrying me now. Without going for Mays or Thomas or Berry in the first then we’re looking at maybe if we’re lucky getting Reshad or having Major Wright as our top choice as far as safety. This is a conundrum but I know it can be worked out. :-) And I want their 2 5’s too. :-)

If we give up our 2nd
we can always move back with one of our 1sts and acquire another 2nd
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Ok so let me get this straight in my mind at least
Options:
A. Give up a first outright (Hopefully our 17)
B. Conditional second (That means we lose a round 2 pick next year)
C. Swap first and give up second.
My idea (which you say probably won’t float):
Swap firsts (17) and seconds and a conditional 3 next year along with our two 7th rounders for Gaither and their 2 5ht rounders.
I mean if it’s conditional it’s not this year’s second because nothing to judge right now.
What pieces am I missing where am I being stupid?
I would love it if we end up in FA with Carr, Pitts, Gaither and Otagwe. Keeping Sims on a two year contract and of course the franchise of Franklin.
Questions are what draft picks or players do we have to give up to do that? Don’t have a lot of trading pieces really.

I think I may have misunderstood what you were saying
You were saying that in addition to swapping 1st and 2nd round picks we’d give up a 3rd round pick next year that might turn into a 2nd based on performance?
If that’s what you’re saying that might work.
I thought you were just offering to swap picks and that’s it.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
I wouldn't do it at all. Do we know the extent of his injuries?
Neck and spine injuries are a red flag. Plus he will want more money than we will offer, I can guarantee that the Ravens just want to retain him at a low price. if he wants big money for a LT, than he doesn’t fit what we need, our FO is sound in Staley being our LT, even the hint at moving Staley prompted that point to be reconfirmed. our need is RT, I would pass on Gaither altogether.

Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
It's neck and spine and I am wondering about the extent. Why ignore the point about what he will demand and where he will play. That is a bigger issue.
Give up a 1st rounder and overpay for a RT? That isn’t the solution, not when we have hired a new OL coach and asst.

Trouble in Denver? Most of their high profile RFAs are not participating in the off season workouts
Marshall, Dumervil, Scheffler and Chris Kuper (OL) are not participating in off season workouts
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
i remember this
happening when high profile players want to get a deal done (extension) before the season. They see working out with the team as a risk to injury and a personal option..sometimes they even push this further…it could be trouble maybe in the sense so many players are taking this route.
I really like dumervil, in recent years he has more sacks than anybody else and has a non stop motor. I’m dreaming, but i wouldn’t mind the niners working out a sign and trade for this guy.
Dumervil is a stud
no way we get him for less than a 1st and a 3rd.
Atogwe is also planning on skipping off season workouts and probably OTAs as well for the Rams.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
Now is that (1st and 3rd)
what dumervil is tendered for?
I think he wants his $$$ for putting up monster numbers—if denver doesn’t want to pay (they are in the driver’s seat having him this year for sure) they may want something for him (pick) and to free up more cash.
Can you imagine J. Smith/ Ray McDonald/ Brooks and Dumervil rushing on 3rd and long—opposing qb’s would be crushed!
If Denver was willing to accept Lawson + our #13 + cash considerations for Dumervil sign and trade with a four year extension—that would seriously rock—i don’t think they will but stranger things have happened.
That's way too much for him. I'd rather draft Graham.

They can't step foot in the 49ers practice facilities
They’re not under contract and the team can’t risk an injury to a player that hasn’t signed his tender.
Besides, all they’re doing are conditioning exercises with the strength coach.
They can work out at home or in some other facility.
I expect Baas to sign his tender before OTAs.

by ChesapeakeBay9er on Mar 16, 2010 6:19 PM PDT up reply actions
im hoping.... similiar
to what seattle and philly just did, that a team wanting to get something in return for a player that in 2011 will be gone(UFA), will instead try to work out a sign/extension and trade.
And yes I’m interested in a Gaither or Bushrod. A young proven Oline tackle with some NFL success and upside.
Its my personal opinion, but i do not feel the niners will immedietely improve their Oline with draft picks alone next year.
When drafted, Rachal had his fair amount of hype but so far has been just o.k. Boy he had some turnstiles and whiffs last year in pass defense that made Alex play dodge the rushing bull.
I’d feel comfortable going into the draft, with, at the very least with that veteran guard having been signed from houston, taking pressure away from us having to draft someone right away and allowing us to upgrade over Baas.
Rachal didn't get much playing time until the MNF game against in AZ in 2008
and he improved mightily by the time end of the 2009 season. he’s good at guard for us. And yes we are making moves. We’ve invited veteran guard Chester Pitts for a visit and presumably will give him some sort of offer then. Pitts is a popular man, meeting with several teams.
I’m sure we’ve given an offer to Sims, but he can probably get a starting job in Washington or another team like that, so why wouldn’t he go see what they can give him? He’ll be a backup here and paid like one.
Giather and Bushrod are both RFAs and I’d love either of ’em but we have plenty of time to work out any deals with their teams.
I actually like the approach the FO is taking this offseason. The FA market is limited right now, so rather than overpay for talent that won’t help us out all that much they’re taking their time looking for depth. I think it’s a goo dmove on their part.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
How many RTs are available right now?
There aren’t many that are of starting quality that are UFA.
I really hope our FO has made a good offer to Sims, but I’m not surprised he’s looking around. If he went to a team like Washington he could probably start. If he stayed with us he’d be a backup.
Member of the legendary David Carr thread, 6 March 2010
