Yes.

Clemons, Byrd ...

T.Jackson?

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

[quote=JoeRedskin;1062843]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.[/quote]

It has nothing to do with being from Cal, he actually had some decent seasons before last year.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

[quote=mooby;1062830]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.[/quote]

I have a feeling we'll make a push for Byrd now that most safeties have been picked up and we also haven't spent as much as I imagined. I thought Talib would be signed by now as well. Hmmmm

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

per Schefter's twitter, Mitchell gets 25M/5 years.

Another 5M/Y safety. Again, not seeing Byrd getting 9M/Y. If he doesn't get the number he likes he may head back to Buffalo. Will be interesting to see how this plays out as his options and teams options dry up.

lol ... just ribbing you. He did. I checked.

However, you have to admit, you have a tendency to be a bit biased to players from the West Coast, particularly the Cali, universities.

As to DeCoud, who knows. The fact that the Falcons, who were hurting on D, cut him loose says something I think. 2012 he's a pro bowler, 2013 he's apparently getting toasted on a regular basis. At 29, he is what he is and that's most likely a journeyman with declining skills.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Saints sign Byrd.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Bucs sign Verner.

Aaarrrrrgggghhhhh! Darn you, Tampa!

This almost certainly spells the end of Revis' time in TB. Wonder if they found someone to trade with?

Denver will talk to ware apparently. That would b nasty

6yr/58mil 28mil guarenteed for Byrd. No thanks.

Will be interesting to see where we get our starting FS and I am not counting on a guy who had been out of football for two years.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

just heard on the radio byrd's contract was 6 years 56.5 million, although i missed what team

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Saints

Well anyone new would be better than last year, but the D will look pretty much the same as last year as far as core players. I hope it really was the scheme that was the problem last year.

Johnathan Martin to the 49ers

An improved offense should also help the D.

Great pick up, a great OL just got better. Say what you will, Martin will prove it.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Get me either Cromartie or Graham, Chris Clemons , Antonio Brown and Sproles once he is released. IMO we are playing it smart by not shelling out the dough on type A free-agents.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Saints dropped out of nowhere to land Byrd. I bet Jimmy Graham is really pissed. If I were Jimmy, I'd sit out till week 6 before signing the tender. That way he accrues a season under his belt and fucks the Saints in the process. It's a business after all. Nothing personal.

Still very early in the process and their are still talented players out there. Don't worry the team won't be the same as last year.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Since the 49ers are stacked in the OL with the addition of Martin, they are going to have to make room for him. Wonder who will be released?

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Talib to Denver $57 million 6 years

$26 million guaranteed


I am sure the Redskins offer was very close to that

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Forty Niners get 2 former #1 picks for a 6th and 7th rounders, why can't the skins take those kind of chances? Especially when a T is needed.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Denver's secondary just got so much better with Ward and Talib, if they get Ware paired with Miller they could be deadly.

Yep, I saw what he did in college. Harbaugh will get the best out of him, a steal in my opinion for a 7th rounder.

Denver also gets talib. Wow they r buying that sb

It'll come back to bite them in the ass. Doesn't Manning alone make $20mil?

They are hoping he retires. They will probably be in cap hell in a couple of years but are going all in this year.

I'm glad the Skins didn't pay Talib that money. Whenever you need him most, he is always injured.

If they have to play Seattle or San Fran again in the SB, these moves won't make a difference. That offense was terrible that day.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

I like what Denver is doing. They're trying to win it now and that makes sense with Manning in the twilight.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

Denver has no choice but to go all in. Even if it F's them up for a few years it will be worth it if they get a SB win.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

I really like New Orleans grabbing Byrd because they needed an impact guy. Thought that one impact guy was worth way more to them than all the value signings in the world.

For Denver, the interesting thing is how far ahead they already were in the AFC before they signed Ward and Talib. I agree with those of you saying that this doesn't really close the gap with Seattle or SF any, but I also think it doesn't do a ton to widen the gap with the rest of the AFC. They can collect all the go-for-it veterans they want, all it does is most likely their special teams weaker. They're already the favorites in the conference, I don't see that changing.

Its gonna be interesting to see how they will be able to keep the second best WR in the league after next season, especially if they dont win the SB.

You'd actually want Gabbert and Martin? No thank you. Neither will be in the league much longer.


I'm glad we didn't pay Byrd or Talib that kind of money but I am disappointed in missing out on guys like Verner, Ward and Mitchell.

Yep, they're stacking that defense impressively. Still going after Jon Beason (good, take him from the Giants!) and DeMarcus Ware after signing Talib and Ward. Possibly losing Decker and Moreno shouldn't slow down Manning very much if at all.

They have no excuses this year. If they don't win the SB, it's a failed season.

I wouldn't mind seeing Peyton win one more, I'm a huge fan of his.

Harbaugh being a former QB will get the best out of both.

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

lol @ Gabbert

Please

Re: NFL Free Agents Signings Thread
 

If we traded two of our precious draft picks for Gabbert and Martin I'd have a royal hissy fit.
