[quote=Mattyk;670114]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[/quote]

100% agree, here's to our Starter staying upright nd healthy.

To add to the Mike Williams signing. ESPN had a good point about him playing better at gaurd and provides competition at RG with Thomas leaving.

This better be some type of trade, otherwise it means that Seattle would be giving up the #6 for Marshall.

Antoine Bethea-DB-Colts Mar. 5 - 3:41 pm et

Scout.com reports that the Giants, Redskins, and Cowboys are showing interest in restricted free agent FS Antoine Bethea.

The Colts gave Bethea a first-round tender, making the cost prohibitive for Washington in particular if it planned to sign him to an offer sheet. The sides could potentially work out a deal for less than the round-one compensation level, but Indianapolis certainly won't give up Bethea on the cheap.

Very surprising move if they trade for him, here's a team in Seattle that's basically starting from square one, and they're looking to make the type of move you expect from a team that's a player or two away.

Rolle is doing a physical in NY which basically means he's going to sign with the Giants.

Clark wants a lot of money...but then again it seems that Bruce Allen knows how to actually negotiate and not overpay people. I'd be cool with that.

On a related note, any rumors on Sharper, just him in general going anywhere?

Damn, that's a very good move for the ravens. That will improve their offense dramatically.

perhaps pete is trying to field a competitive team in his first year for good first impression effects at the expense of future stability?

idk but the hawks have had a huge need at wr for awhile, so over reaching may be understandable.

every new coach gets one or two shinny new toys to play with.

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

I know they'll have to sign Boldin to a big money contract but in terms of the picks they gave up that isnt bad at all.

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

If the Skins are looking at Jason Babin as DE/OLB, could it be that Shanny/Allen are looking to part ways with Andre Carter? Possibly via trade to 4-3 teams such as Saints or Panthers? To me, they are kinda of the same mold, 4-3 DE that would be undersized DEs in the 3-4 but possible OLB?

When did Seattle put Vinny in charge?

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

Signing Clifton or Pashos could be a good thing or a very bed thing IMO. If these are guys brought in to compete w/ and help groom young studs we draft for LT/RT then Shanny/Allen just made brilliant our MO. If they are the "answers" for our oline problems I expect us to draft in the top 5 again next year. Clifton is older and starting to break down, and we literally have NOTHING for LT talent aside from who we sign/draft.

Defensively is looks like the FO is flailing about a bit w/o much direction. Moving Zoe and Jarmon to LB doesn't net us anything...it just moves around the areas of need. In fact you could say we've already got 5 LBs who are strong potential players in the 3-4: London, Rocky, Blades at ILB and Orakpo and Wilson at OLB. Jarmon and Zoe will require plenty of adjustment time, so they're not starters, and then we still have to fill holes on the DL.

I'm happy Daniels is staying but he's not an every down guy to be counted on. We still don't have a natural NT on the roster so for all practical purposes we have 1 and 1/2 starters on the DL between Al and Phillip.
