PFT so take it for what its worth.[/quote]

Glad it's from a crap source.

[quote=Dirtbag359;670088]It would be one thing if this was a random member, but from what I understand this guy might be their head honcho. Looks like all is not well in communist China...er I mean ES. There are spies among their ranks. Wouldn't be surprised to see ES threaten a DDos on PFT.

Of course if PFT really was using ES as a source then that would explain a lot.



Mysterious concept does not compute. Must upgrade from Redskins 2000 to Redskins 2010.[/quote]

i thought those quotes came from the PFT comments, so i assumed it wasnt the "real" TK, but rather some noobish wannabe troll from extremeskins.

[quote=CanadianSkin;670095]So is this what it is supposed to be like having responsible people running the team? Take their time in signing people, make smart decisions? I am kind of going through withdrawal wthout having any big names already signed and mortgaging our future already... [B]wow this is kind of a strange feeling.[/B][/quote]


It is. I keep checking the reports looking for signings. The suspense is killing me, I'm used to a ton of reports about our team. It's a good thing though, but like you said...strange.

this is a huge head-scratcher to me, especially given that its a multiyear deal. i dont see how he fits with the system, but we'll see what happens.

Maybe he drops another 100lbs and becomes our backup FB??

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;670055]what a moron. ES will quote an article from somewhere else on the web. PFT report the same information and give credit to the writer of the original article for the scoop. Then, ES members will claim Florio stole the information from ES members.

I understand that there are alot of stupid people in the world, but can people really be that dumb?[/quote]
It's probably because both TK and jsteelz have established themselves as inside sources that are pretty reliable over there.

our tempered approach to free angency is encouraging. this rumor is not. i am not going to let it bother me..... for now.

We will finally have our Franchise QB!!

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Grossman is familiar with KS, I don't really see this as a bad thing.

[quote=SirClintonPortis;670106]It's probably because both TK and jsteelz have established themselves as inside sources that are pretty reliable over there.[/quote]

So you really believe that PFT is lurking over there and actually using ES as a source? The evidence they provide in that thread is pretty weak. Such stuff as Shanahan coming here shortly after Allen was hired or Gruden bowing out of the race. Then the idea that they broke Blake Williams being a possible assistant here. This was stuff I was seeing all over the internet. Maybe they do have connections, but until they have better evidence that the media is "using them" I will find myself indifferent.

Anyway just wait till the Warpath/ES rugby game. Then we'll see who's boss.

[quote=Player_HTTR;670110]Grossman is familiar with KS, I don't really see this as a bad thing.[/quote]

Yeah he's familiar with the system so that's a good thing, hopefully he never has to see the field if he's signed

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

i can see us picking him up to replace Todd as a #3 QB to help Campbell and Bradford learn the system, but thats it.

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

When did we release Todd Collins? Man so many people were let go yesterday that I didn't take the time to realize who exactly they let go. Off the top of my head I know Betts, Cartwright, ARE, and Smoot.

PFT so take it for what its worth.[/quote]Not a bad thing. Grossman knows KS's system, has been a starter in the NFL, and isn't 38-39 yrs old. He's an upgrade over Todd Collins or Brennan.

Todd Collins' career QB rating is 76. He hasn't started a game since 2007 and only played in 3 games in the last 2 years. His 2009 QB rating was 71.6.

Colt Brennan has no NFL stats....cause he's [B]never played a freakin' down[/B] as an NFL QB. I cannot for the life of me understand the Cult of Colt. The guy for 2 years couldn't beat out a 37-38 year old QB with a weak arm and no mobility (and I don't want to hear the injury thing, that's probably what kept him on the roster for 2009 because a player can't be released while injured). Sorry for the.....:rant:

Antrel Rolle-DB-Cardinals Mar. 5 - 2:10 pm et

NFLFanhouse.com reports free agent FS Antrel Rolle is "on the verge" of completing a deal with the Giants.

Not so fast. Beat writer Armando Salguero reports the Dolphins are still talking to agent Drew Rosenhaus about Rolle even while the safety in New York. Meanwhile, Giants beat writer Ralph Viacchiano hears that the choice is down to the Giants and Cardinals. It's clear as mud that the Giants are now the favorites.

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

Looks like the Lions are grabbing headlines with Free Agency on day 1.
The Burleson deal not withstanding, they are starting to look real good up front on defense.

Signed Vanden Bosch, they acquired Corey Williams in a trade with the Browns. Now, if St Louis takes Bradford #1 next month, that means the Lions could possibly have Vanden Bosch, Williams and Suh in thier front 4. Damn that is stacked up front!

How good is Rolle? From the way I've heard him described he seems like a second tier FS.

[quote=GreekSkin;670122]Schefter reporting Chester Taylor has agreed with the Bears.[/quote]

Nice signing. I'm impressed with the Bears. Certainly working hard to shed that cheap label which they should. Ridiculous for a franchise in a market like Chicago to be considered cheap.

We should have signed Vanden Bosch. He used to be an OT. :D

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

The Bears have no choice but to spend money with no 1st or 2nd rounders. I think a lot of butts are on the line for this season there. Still wondering who is going to block for Taylor or protect Cutler.

Good point on the lack of draft picks. It's so weird how that franchise has fallen from grace recently. Very curious to see how Cutler does this year with Martz.

[quote=SolidSnake84;670140]Damn i was hoping we'd pick up Chester Taylor[/quote]

I'm glad we didn't. Yeah, he's solid but we can get a mid to late round pick plus maybe some other, cheaper options. I'm sad to see a lot of the guys go, including Betts & Rock, but at RB they really created some vacancies. don't know if they can draft 2 guys, we might have an unfa or journeyman playing #3 rb. Or Ganther might remain as #3.

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

im real curious to see what dunta is going to sign for. my interest in him has peaked as FA was getting closer thoo i cannot say i really watched or focused on his play since hes been in the league.
