[quote=redsk1;668997]Lets hope we don't spend another $150 million like last offseason. It's pretty obvious that this team should be rebuilt mainly thru the draft. I think a low profile free agency period is what this team needs.[/quote]


They definitely need to rebuild through the draft but would you be happy with a 5-11, 6-10 or 7-9 season next year? I think those win totals are a decent improvement if you are cutting a lot of veterans, building solely through the draft, and filling holes with vet minimum deals.

That doesn't jive with me if ticket prices are what they are and concession prices are what they are. I have a problem with a team profiting by hundreds of millions but refuses to spend some money on quality players.

Give me some free agents that fit what we want to do and fix the offensive line through the draft and FA. I believe that would make us competitive. Arguably, we were "competitive" last year, we just had no one who could lead us to a win.

[quote=Ruhskins;669003]Well there goes Sproles...I know this is business, but a bit of a dick move by SD if you ask me.

[URL="http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/mar/04/sproles-ready-free-agency/"]Chargers will keep Sproles - SignOnSanDiego.com[/URL][/quote]They probably had a free agent target in mind, but for whatever reason, came to the realization that they would not get him. They're a top eight team, so non-tendering Sproles would have given them much more financial flexibility in free-agency.

This is a pretty big move, in that it pretty much designates the Chargers as a free-agency non-player.

I'd like to wake up and hear that Campbell has been traded, and that washington is looking for a RB in Free Agency.

Heaven would be hearing that either Portis or Carlos Rogers had been released, but i doubt that would happen

Well Rogers was tendered, so he's not getting released, and no one is going to give us a 1st and 3rd for Campbell, so you may be disappointed. I would also love to wake up to the news that Portis is gone.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;669048]Rolle's been cut. Wonder if we sign him before midnight.[/quote]Don't know the Cardinals' cap situation, but I'd imagine the paperwork won't actually go through until after midnight, when the cap evaporates. Still, I believe once a team has declared that they are releasing a player, it is no longer tampering to negotiate with his agent.

Marlin Jackson did not get a tender and will be a FA according to [URL="http://twitter.com/Adam_Schefter"]Schefter[/URL].

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

Jamal Williams is cut by San Diego. He's a guy I'm going to have a tough time putting a grade on for the free agency sheets. Could be anywhere between an 80 and an 87. I'll have to look at his production from the last three years.

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

Phillip Buchanon released by Detroit, which is interesting. He has started to fulfill his potential since 2007. That would be a guy to look at picking up in free agency.

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

With Rock AND Betts now gone, I think it's now reasonable that the team might go after a player in free agency at the RB position.

Westbrook monopoly? That'd be my choice. Kevin Faulk as well.

You don't think they were counting on Sproles. Man that really was a kick in the groin for SD to tender him. Still glad to see most of these names being released.

Fleece Mccrapniels for Peyton Hillis and oh maybe, Eddie Royal.
Bring Terrell Davis out of retirement.
Championship.

j/k about the last two parts.

Door's not totally closed on Sproles, but very very unlikely of course. Rumors of Tomlinson now. Not sure what to make of that. But here's a name to consider...Justin Fargas

Last year I stayed up till 1 am and then went to bed and got up at 6 am and found out we had signed Haynesworth. This year I ain't stayin up for shit, I gotta get up at 4 am tomorrow so I'll get on tomorrow morning and find out who went where.

shucks... I was kinda hoping we would be able to pick up Sproles. No I'm in the no catagory....

I really hope we end up with Antrel Rolle and then Dunta Robinson so we can move Carlos for a pick. Hopefully Santa delivers the goods

Rolle is a FA.....the Cards released him.

I know that.....hence the reason i said i hope we end up with him. He has caused more turnovers than most of our defenders plus he averages over 30 yards a return on those turnovers. Plus we could move Landry back to SS.

There was suppose to be a youtube video here but apparently i cant do it yet.

Hopefully Rolle will sign here, and it would be cool to have Rolle playing the spot where his childhood friend ST played. Rolle would help LL get back to playing well in his natural position kind of like Taylor. I wish we could get rid of Rogers and sign Robinson.
