[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;427585]To quote Gregg Williams: "All I ask in my defense is two things. Accountability and availability. Chris was lacking availability..."[/quote]

8 sacks isn't anything to get too excited about either, but in this market that will probably equal a nice payday for him.

Re: Latest FA news from KFFL
 

anyone know how old porter is? and i thought the jville receivers were pretty decent. i guess that means the end for Matt Jones. i guess he will be the next thread around here

Porter turns 30 in July. He's a DC native too. Jax has some overhyped underpreformers on their squad at WR. Matt Jones and Reggie Williams are both first rounders who haven't done diddly poo, and Ernest Wilford has been streaky at best.

Re: Latest FA news from KFFL
 

cleaned up some posts, removing some redundancies, anyways... bucs are looking at a lot of guys, but the browns and dolphins are actually signing players. the 49ers are signing players too, but they're not very good ones.




[SIZE=3][B]Summary of the 2008 offseason thusfar:

[/B][/SIZE]-DTs are the biggest movers, and the top available FAs are drying up fast.

-right now alge crumpler is looking like a seahawk, ben troupe may end up a buc.

-jonathan vilma is a saint (for a 4th or 3rd rounder... good move for NO)

-browns paid a lot of money to keep D Anderson (QB) - 8mill/per based on one good season. it's not a bad move though.

-the raiders signed DE Kelly to a 50mill contract (his highest season sack total - 6). ouch. this make lloyd look like a bargain.

-madieu williams (S bengals) got over 6mill/per to join the vikings, jeff faine (C browns) got over 6mill/year to join the bucs. jerry porter got 5mill/per to join the jags. -- all terrible moves (imo)

-it looks like faneca (OG steelers -> ??? (jets, 49ers, rams)) is going to get 8mill/per and samuels close to 10mill/per (CB patriots -> eagles)... neither is terrible, but i'd pass on both.

-corey williams (DT GB) was traded to the browns for a (late) 2nd round pick and signed for 6mill/per (good signing).

-marcus stroud is still available at DT (so is robertson (jets)). Lito sheppard and domique foxworth (CBs) are available for trades too.

-DT Kwame Harris (49ers) and Larry Triplett (Bills) are FAs.

-josh brown (only P/K of note) moved from the seahawks to the rams (to replace the retired jeff wilkins).

-javon walker is now a FA, no trade required.


the dolphins signings:
-reggie torbor (LB giants)
-randy starks (DT titans)
-ernest wilford (WR jags)
-josh mccown (QB raiders)
-justin smiley (OG 49ers) - somewhat high priced

not really world beaters, but solid signings that aren't too expensive.


-latest on shaun rogers - he's going to the browns for a 3rd rounder and CB leigh bodden... NOT CONFIRMED. that'd give the brown two new high caliber DTs (well, 1 full and 1 part timer ;) ).

-savage (browns) and parcells (dolphins) look to be doing the best at improving their teams right now, and it's not close.

-bucs/49ers/vikings/raiders/jags have all made at least one bad to very bad move so far.

-bucs/jags have the most common interest with the free agents we're probably looking at (WR, gregg williams depth guys)

Re: Latest FA news from KFFL
 

hope that helps... i know all the listings can make it confusing and hard to remember who signed who and what teams have done as a whole.
