Insider has us and the Bengals for a possible home for Antonio Bryant and recently there is intrest for Kevin Mawae from the Titans. What do you guys think of this?

Plummer apparently wanted to do his crap his own merry way. Shanahan definitely doesn't like folks who don't stick to his framework.

we should sign bryant and trade moss for whatever we can get for him

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

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;671546]yes and no. i think it would be beneficial to bring him in as the #3 QB to help Bradford and Campbell learn the offense. He's familiar with the offense and would fill the same role Todd Collins filled when we brought Al Saunders.... except, you know, Todd actually could still play. Of course, i'd rather have Sage if he were cut by the Vikings.[/quote]

Having spoken to Plummer multiple times I would tell you that unless something has changed in the past year a) he has no intention of ever playing football again b) he has no intention of ever doing anything for Shanahan

If Bryant signs in DC, keep Moss.

I don't think we could get a warm six pack for Moss.

I hate to agree with a Cowboys fan but sandtrap is right.

Moss in the slot would be lethal. If they sign Bryant, we are completely set with pass catchers.

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

whether we get Bryant or not, i think Moss is moving to the slot.

Does Tampa still own his rights or did they settle that?

Either way I agree, chances of him coming back seem slim to none.

Moss to the slot would be ideal

Tampa had his rights until the end of this past season. He's technically free to sign anywhere now

Why all the hate for Moss? The guy still has class speed. And Bryant is big and can make tough catches in traffic and over the middle while Moss stretches the field.

A good veteran combo to bring up the young ones too.

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

Derek Anderson's officially available now

Giants signed Jim Sorgi. He's going to spill all of Peyton's secrets to Eli

Yeah but Eli has to have an IQ greater than a Krispy Kreme to understand it.

Lets hope for Eli's sake that Sorgi brings lots of crayons to draw pictures for Eli.

For some reason people think he is garbage even though he was the only pass catcher who had to be accounted for on every play and we couldn't run any pattern that couldn't be completed with a 3 step drop.

Someone actually said that Randal Fail was better....

People create a bias and cannot be convinced otherwise, no matter what.

I dont understand it either...only product receiver we have (25 catchs is not considered productive)...but yeah people treat him like he Roy Williams or something

Hate to agree with a cowgurl but why are we the only people who know Eli is overrated.

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

Jarvis Green signed with Denver, no word yet on Jammal Williams, Larry Foote, Willie Parker.

Any news on if the skins have interest in anderson or if they have interest in lilja?

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

Antonio Bryant has talent. I'd like to see him as a skin.

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

Insider has nothing on Anderson and the Skins being interested as of right now

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

I can understand the idea of adding Bryan to the corp; although I believe it would only stunt Thomas & Kelly's developments.. But once again, Thomas & Kelly weren't Shanahan's picks..

Like some people already said; moving Moss to slot would be an ideal move.. Basically, Shanahan can use Moss just like he used Eddie Royal..

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

Says that Panthers and Cardinals interested in Anderson possibly

Deion was talented too.

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

That's some B. Lloyd level catches right there!

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

If he fits in our budget then why not. Then we can use Moss in punt returns & not worry about injuries.

He is a talented receiver and I'm hoping the brother is now ok up top. He's been known to have problems in that area.

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

Call me hypocrite, but maybe they should take a look at Greg Ellis for even more OLB depth.

One year contract, 3rd down only. Guy has a lot of miles on him and is long in the tooth.

The only times Ellis spoke to the media in Dallas was to moan and complain about his role. But when on the field he was an above average producer.

Eh, Ellis hasn't been the same since he tore his achilles, bad knees, and he'll be 35 years old this summer. I'll pass on dude.

brodney pool is now a FA

FS from the Browns, decent stats last year but don't know a lot about him

Jets have a visit scheduled

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

Browns let Pool go because he's had multiple concussions and his long-term prospects are kind of bleak

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

smootsmack why haven't the skins pounced on lilja for a signing yet?

Ahh, appreciate the info; was wondering if he'd gotten injured last year or didn't start until 6 games in, but got sidetracked from looking into it.

Guess they're not interested. I don't know really

Bengals might not let Bryant get out of Cincy
