Trades & Signings Thread

[DC_fan]

Coming into the free agent period with questions on cap management the Saints resign Colston, appear to hit a hole losing Nicks before bringing in Grubbs. Finish that off with Bunkley, Lofton and Chamberlain, must say pretty stoked on what we have managed to get, obviously the big one still needs to get a long term deal organised but i think we have had a great fa period. Any one else really happy with what their team has accomplished?

The Cowboys got the CB they wanted in Carr and the fullback they needed in Vickers. Some question marks over LB Connor and the two guards.

I would rate the Cowboys signings a 6 out of 10. But ask me again after the season my rating may change.

Saints have had a great FA period. Under the radar.

Getting Grubbs to replace Nicks is great. He'll be just as good as Nicks.

Getting Bunkley is a massive upgrade.

Getting Lofton is way better than Vilma...and he'll likely be cut meaning more cap space.

No. The Vikings have done nothing.

We really seem to want to build through the draft and take our time rebuilding. Looks like were over looking for the quick fix now.

I'm happy with the Bills so far.

We addressed our pass rush with Mario Williams and Mark Anderson firming up the side.

That was our main concern and now we've created arguably when everyone is fit a top 3 D-Line in the game.

Our LB situation is iffy but we have plenty of them. Two spots are locked down with Sheppard at MLB and Barnett at WLB. Morrison is apparently moving to SLB but I'd like another LB in the draft.

Our secondary is ok, but I wouldn't be surprised to see McKelvin cut by the end of camp.

On the O-Line, We need a LT either in FA or Draft as Bell has yet to re-sign. Apart from that I think we are all good.

With regards to WR, I'd like to get a true #1 or 2 receiver to pair with Stevie...Easley was meant to be that a few years ago but he just has never been fit. David Nelson I'd like to see put on 20lbs of muscle and turn into an in-line TE similar to Gronkowski or even used like Hernandez.

Needs still include - WR, LT, RG, CB, FS, WLB, QB

Im happy with the eagles off season

We looked after our house first, locked up and re-signed some important cogs. We've also brought in a stud MLB to man the middle and got some vetern OL depth to replace guys going out. Still some moves to be made on draft day i think.

Need to keep Landri, and get McCoy on a long term extenstion, id like to see a vet safety like Bell brought in. On draft day we need to move Asante and his large contract (which will free up the coin for McCoy) and then draft:

DT, OLB, Red zone target and S (if we dont sign a vet) early.
In the later rounds, OL, OLB, RS, TE, DE projects.

Ill be stoked if we can get:
Poe @ 15,
Levonte David and Harrison Smith in the 2nd
and Joe Adams in the 3rd.

 

[Big Mick]

Rumour has it that McCoy been offered $6m per year extension.

Also Rumours about Dawkins potentially returning to the Eagles. Maybe as a 1 day retirement. Bob Sanders also trying to get on the Eagles roster.

 

[Raider_69]

Long term extension for Shady is the next step, we cant risk it getting to a point like Forte or Rice or even Djax last year. Give him security and let him be all he can be without fear

Dawk should retire an eagle.
One day deal would be awesome

Sanders - thanks but no thanks.

[Raider_69]

Tbh if we cant find a suitor, we might be better off cutting him
We're playing bump and run man, which is what Nnamdi and DRC excel at, Asante is zone.

Tough to say cutting a corner of quality that asante still is, can be the right call, but maybe we have to. Id like to think there is a team willing to do a deal

 

[abpanther]

Big Joe Adams fan Raider, he will be a good one IMO

 

[Raider_69]

hell yea, guy is good.
We have maclin and jackson on the outside, id like to give the eagles a big play threat return specialist who can double up in the slot and be a welker like headache.

I give the Broncos a 9/10 so far. They need to fix the D line and letting Bunkley go was a mistake IMO.

Still, adding Manning and Porter made FA a pleasure this year.

 

[Mhartew]

Arizona continuing their recent tradition of signing Steelers players, have signed CB William Gay on a 2 year deal.

He'll slot in right away as Ray Horton has brought in a Steeler like defense to Arizona. Not sure whether he'll start right away, probably between him and the returning Greg Toler for a CB spot. Patrick Peterson has the other one sewn up.

Only a 9?

I agree letting Bunkley go was a mistake...but let's be honest this draft is PACKED with great DT's.

This is the deepest DT draft I've seen.

You could pick up a Jerrel Worthy/Fletcher Cox in the first...then get someone like Kendell Reyes/Jared Crick in second.

Crick may even still be available in the 3rd!...just crazy depth at that position.

agreed i really like both TE pickups as well both are severely underated

 

[gronkathon]

So with the Assante situation are the Lions the only club likely to broker a deal or are there other players in the picture?

Apologies if it is a stupid question but this is the first year I have tried to really understand the draft & FA

Tebow, Bunkley, Royal, Fells and Larsen gone so far. Caldwell, Dreesen and Tamme are all good pickups.

I'm still a little worried at WR, S and DT.

 

[Big Tim]

There is talk RG3 could go as the first pick now and Luck second.

I have said before that Luck is a good QB, I have my heart set on RGIII. If the Colts make that change I will be surprised. At this stage they think they have Peyton MkII..... I hope that doesnt change.
