HoosierCat Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Jets offically cut C Mawae.And the Raiders have axed QB Kerry Collins. Rumor mill has him headed to Balti for a reunion with Fassel. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Get ready to add about 20 Redskins to the list Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 espn just said that the NFL has pushed the start of FA back -- again -- by 72 hours to Thursday. Didn't say if the deadline for getting under the cap (currently 11:30 EST, about 12 mins. from now) had been pushed back as well.What a circus... Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 God...Can they just grow up and stop being babies and make a f**king deal! Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 I hear ya...espn says they pushed back the cut deadline, too. Again. Now teams have to be under the cap by 9 p.m. Wednesday.In other news, the Rams released WR Issac Bruce. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Here is what will happen...Wednesday they will delay the deadline till 10:30 pm. Then they will delay the start of FA until Sunday at 12:01 and the deadline to be under the cap at 9 p.m.THen the process will repeat itself over and over again...I am like a gypsy or something I can see into the future Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 Cool. While you've got the crystal ball on, can ya pick up the winning lottery numbers? Scratch the Issac Bruce release. The Rams have now un-released him pending the new Wednesday deadline, when they may release him again... Quote
Stripes Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Posted March 6, 2006 Maybe we should just throw all the players in the league into a large pot and pick them all out at random... Salaries are of no importance. Quote

ArmyBengal Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Even "if" the Bengals were interested, you know doggone well they aren't going to make ANY moves until the CBA is resolved. Oh well, he would have been more than an upgrade...WHODEY !!! Quote

Oh well, he would have been more than an upgrade...WHODEY !!! Given the deadlock we've seen in this issue, that would spell doom on any chances of the Bengals signing any mid-upper tier free agents. What a shock that would be. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 Just to update, Bruce has now officially been released by the Rams. However, word is Kerry Collins has not yet been officially cut pending the CBA...Also the Broncos have reportedly signed Courtney Brown for 3 years (and no I for one wasn't interested in him) so chalk him off the potential FA list. Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 The CBA is a complete mess. They should have finished this last year, but perhaps they will learn from this and make something "permanent" until changed this time. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Vikings | Team pulled tag because of recalculationFri, 10 Mar 2006 15:16:45 -0800ESPN.com's John Clayton reports the Minnesota Vikings removed the transition designation on CB Brian Williams after a recalculation of the one-year tender based on changes in the new collective bargaining agreement. The tenders for this year increased considerably from what teams expected ($5.89 million for a franchised cornerback and $4.77 million for a transitioned cornerback). It's not clear exactly what Williams' tender would have been under the new agreement. He would have made significantly more than the one-year tender of $4.77 million he was initially offered. After getting those new numbers, the Vikings decided he was too expensive and pulled the tender, making him a free agent.Would cost...but how many solid 4-year vet corners come open on the FA market?

I wouldn't give the guy a s**tload of money after one good season. Make him proove himself next year worthy of a fat contract. That prob. won't be the case sense he is a FA,and some team will give him a s**tload of money, I just hope it aint us. Quote
HoosierCat Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I think he is a solid football player but hasnt he only had one good year?He's had a bit more than one good season. C'mon, we're talking about a guy playing for a team whose defensed has sucked donkey cajones forever who's racked up 11 picks, 25 passes defensed, 6 forced fumbles, and some 200 tackles in the last three years. And in four years he has missed just 2 games. Compare that to our best CB, O'Neal. His last three years are 15 picks, 19 passes defensed, 1 forced fumble and about 140 tackles, and he's missed 8 games.A team could do worse than dropping a boatload of coin on this guy. Quote
Whur CHad At? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Hey we have a new potential back up canidate!Griese dumped by Bucshttp://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2363286 Quote
schweinhart Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Chances of the Bengals signing Griese have to be pretty close to 0. He should fetch a hefty sum. But how much depends on all that is happening with Brees, Culpepper, Brooks, McCown and Ramsey. There's 2 definite starters and 3 potential ones for teams, which could drive Griese's price down some but not likely near enough for the Bengals to get their 50%-off special for the has been or never was they're probably trying to get as a backup QB.

Whur CHad At? Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Griese is likely to Re-Sign with the Bucs Quote
