Free Agency Chatter...

How some of these GMs and whatnot can justify $5M per on a player like Carter is simply amazing to me.

Jesus, call me glad he won't be back. Did they actually watch film on the guy or did they just see his INT stat line and assume he was good?

 

[dallen]

Well, thank god we didn't resign him them. Have a nice life Bruce

Comp picks looking mighty good, or does performance have something to do with it?

 

[Cotton]

Buhbye, Brucey.

It's based more on contract value and playing time.

It's crazy that a guy I wouldn't even want starting on my defense is getting 5 mil a year.

You mean, like Parnell?

Money is the biggest factor I think. But they do look at Pro Bowls/All Pro nods and also playing time.

Overall, it is secretive how exactly they figure it out. I bet there is a way we get screwed.

I guess Dallas figures it is dumb to try to sign a good veteran like Freeney to plug a hole for a year.

There is also a chance the Colts let Mathis go since they got Cole. I'd take the pair of them but we are too veteran adverse to bother.

How is Freeney a good veteran? He's about done. No thanks.

We are entertaining the idea of signing Spencer. I don't see the difference.

The general point is we have real issues plugging in veterans. Nobody is saying insert "progess stoppers".

But sorry, even old ass Freeney is better than anybody we have right now.

Please. You like to bitch about Mincey, but think Freeney would be a good veteran to sign? He had a way better season than Freeney did.

And I'm not talking about not signing a progress stopper. I'm talking about not wasting money on a player that is D.O.N.E.

Hey, call me desperate but that is how I would be behaving if I ran the damn team. I'd sign as many "done" vets as I could to try to address the pass rush problem. The Patriots annually have a parade of older guys coming in. Some work out, some don't.

 

[boozeman]

Yeah, this strategy of playing a waiting game with the DL in this period is really paying off.

It's also interesting that a guy like Carter is getting as much as Murray's been offered.

 

[VA Cowboy]

Don't care for over the hill Freeney. But Sheard is one of the younger 2nd tier FA's I liked.
