Safeties are going. Mitchell or Byrd? That is the question.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

safeties getting paid today, wow.

and mitchell for 5mill would be overpaying. he's had 1 good season, and i like him, but not like that.

Jacksonville traded QB Blaine Gabbert to SF for a 6th round pick, per sources.

We got Kerrigan and Jarvis Jenkins(i think) Jacksonville got a 6th round pick. Gotta give Shanny/Allen a win on that one[/quote]

Calling Johnny Football to Jaxville.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Wow, safeties getting snapped up at a ridiculous pace. I hope we get one of the three good ones still available.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

TJ Ward to Denver

Linval to Minnesota

Well, poop.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Ward only went for 5.5 million a year

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Yeah, I saw that.

Whitner 7M/year
Bethea 6.5M/year
Jenkins 5.5M/year
Ward 5.5M/Year

Is the market for Byrd down to 8m/year?

Mitchell and Clemons still on the market.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Byrd on his way to New Orleans for a visit. Don't know how they can afford him and Graham.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread

Ward is the best of 4 signed and got 1.5 less than Whitner, the Browns are dumb for not resigning Ward ibstead of Whitner.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Yup. That what it seems like to me.

IF Byrd is out there for 8M/Y, I think hard about that one.

I think we have to seriously consider that.

Either way, we need a safety. Byrd or Mitchell by the end of the night would make me happy.

They also missed on JJ Watt. But they did win the trade that day, they just made a draft mistake.

Either way Gabbert has been terrible, surprised they got anything.

I sign him easily on that one.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Byrd apparently rejected a 10M/year deal from Buffalo.

[url=http://pro32.ap.org/article/ap-sources-bills-talks-byrd-reach-standstill]AP Sources: Bills talks with Byrd reach standstill | Pro32: Head to Head[/url]

[quote]People familiar with the situation told The Associated Press talks have stalled and no further discussions are scheduled after the Bills made a lucrative, multiyear offer to Byrd. Without revealing the full value and length of the offer, one person said Byrd would have been paid about $30 million over the contract's first three seasons.[/quote]

It is unclear how much of that was guaranteed but apparently it was a significant chunk (18M?). I think, regardless of where he ends up, he is not going to match that now.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Maybe he wants out of Buffalo. For 4yr/32 mil I would definitely bring him in, but if he's rejecting 10/yr from Buf I don't see us in the running.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

So Jared Allen is visiting the Broncos. Rich get richer?

F*CK. Mitchell signed with the Steelers.

Link? If so, damn. I wouldn't have overpaid for him but this safety market is drying up fast. I don't want to end up with leftovers.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Not a lot of safeties left on the market who can step in and start. Pretty much Byrd and ...

Cuts both ways I guess.

How is it that we didn't land either Linval Joseph or Arthur Jones?

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Thomas DeCoud is available and would be a nice pick up

[quote=Lotus;1062828]How is it that we didn't land either Linval Joseph or Arthur Jones?[/quote]

I guess this is what the anti-Redskins method of free agency feels like. Weird to see us letting all the top talent go to other teams.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;1062829]Thomas DeCoud is available and would be a nice pick up[/quote]

Idk how good he is, but I have a hard time trusting a safety from a team with major defensive issues like the Falcons had last year.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

[quote=Lotus;1062828]How is it that we didn't land either Linval Joseph or Arthur Jones?[/quote]Do you sense that they are much stingier with contracts to defensive players than offensive ones? Just a feeling.

Not so sure about that:

True enough. At the same time, just b/c he's from Cal, doesn't mean he's a good pick-up either.

It doesn't sound like he will be in all that high demand. Plenty of time to kick the tires on him and see if still has skills.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

It's looking like Merriweather

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Chris Clemons is still available?
