2014 Free Agency Rumors and or Speculation

[pbmax]

thats the problem, there were a lot of really good bargains today imo

Other than the CB whose average is less than Shields, who was cheap?

[mraynrand]

Not afraid of Seahawks. Not the same matchup problem as 49ers. Maybe more worrisome if Harvin is healthy.

I agree. I like the matchup, especially with the muscle the Packers have been showing in the run game.

Ya - Whitner looks pretty expensive - but I'm saying that before I know how much is guaranteed...

tyson jackson, perfect fit for our 3-4, 5 million a year

almost all the safeties except byrd

arthur jones at 6 million per season, i was expecting 8-ish

You guys know TT is a bargain hunter, hes not going to make moves on the first first day or even the first week for that matter. Also the 49ers and Seahawks are able to make more moves in FA then us because they don't have to pay their QBs top dollar yet.

I agree with your assessment of T.T. Brandon but as of yesterday cap space was as follows:

Packers: $31,052,949
49ers: $9,978,737
Seahawks: $3,153,355

According to this even though those teams aren't paying big bucks for their Q.B.'s yet we have a hell of a lot more cap space to work with than they do.

I dunno. He'd be making more than Raji for a run stuffing, 2 down, 3-4 DE. Its perhaps not outlandish. Not sure about cheap.

Am curious why Packers didn't take a sniff. John Dorsey let him go as well.

Everything I've heard is that Revis would love to be a Patriot, above any other option. Still ample time for that to happen

That's laughable.

If Revis decides he wants to be there, he can make it happen, but at the expense of some of his take home. If he thinks he can haul in the same money as a starting QB AND be on a winning team, i.e. no big holes anywhere, he's delusional. Which he might be.

All my prayers will be answered if we can sign a safety who is half as good as the great and immortal Marquand Manual! Lol!!

The Packers did not tender an offer to M.D. Jennings. That's a start.

That's called delivering a message.

Message as follows: "We would rather start 10 players on D than pay you to play."

tyson jackson, perfect fit for our 3-4, 5 million a year

I noted in another thread that he had received a Raji-like cut last year - from over ten million to 4 million. KC didn't like him enough for a 25 million contracts.

Tyson Jackson is a big defensive linemen out of LSU. The Chiefs drafted him very high in 2009 (third overall) so expectations were way too high to begin with. The truth is, he's a fine starter but certainly not a star. He can stop the run well, which is what he was asked to do as a defensive end in the Chiefs 3-4 defense, but he doesn't offer much of anything in the pass rush department. He rotated out in the Chiefs sub packages. I've wondered if he might be a better fit in a 4-3 defense but the Chiefs have been in a 3-4 since he's been in Kansas City.

That's a lot of beans for a run stopper. Have to see the contract; might be back loaded. Maybe TT just didn't like him.

Where do the Broncos get all this money from?

[Brandon494]

The Denver Broncos and cornerback Aqib Talib have reached agreement on a six-year, $57 million deal that includes $26 million guaranteed, according to sources.

tyson tries hard, raji doesn't

plus jackson has 7sacks over the last 2 years, raji had none. hell i don't even know if the slug had a pressure this year

Listened to an interview with Tyson Jackson last week
KC was trying to keep him but he wanted to see what was out there
Dude had some pass rushing skills IMO
Take him over Raji

[Joemailman]

Is Tyson Jackson a lot better than C.J. Wilson? Or Jolly if he can make it back?
