Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

[Redskin Warrior]

Didn't know if this was already posted in this thread or not

Why isnt anyone bringing up the prospect of possibly getting Pike with our 4th rounder. Alot of people think he could possibly drop that low, and if he does, what a steal that would be. We would have a young talented backup to JC, and after 1 or 2 years with Shanahan, he could very well compete and steal the starting job away from JC.

Just saying........He would definitely be an upgrade over Cult Brennan. I just dont know why he isnt getting a little more attention on these boards, he is after all, very similar to Elway, just a bit taller, and not as much zip on the ball, but those things can be worked on. His release is almost exactly like Elways........

Again, Just throwing that out there.

Think I used enough commas? lol

Personally with Pike the only real attribute I see is his height. His accuracy is average, his arm strength is nothing to write home about, he comes exclusively from a spread offense where he put up decent numbers but average compared to other spread QB's, and on top of that he's very brittle. You think Bradford won't be able to hold up at 236 pounds wait till you see Pike at 223.

I will say though that he does seem to have a pretty good head on his shoulders but in this, the ultimate QB intangible draft ie the anti-Big Ben and Michael Vick draft, he pales in comparison to Bradford, McCoy, and Tebow .

I would much rather have Tebow if it came down to getting a mid round prospect though I also favor Robinson (Ok State), LeFevour, and Snead. Above all else though my favorite non-first round QB at this point would probably be McCoy.

I think your Pike Scouting Report is right on.

His numbers were inflated by the spread and Mardy Gillyard's playmaking abilities.

A lot of people here are not sold on Pike, but I think he'd be a great value in the 4th round.

[GusFrerotte]

Snead seems to have gone up after the combine. I thought Kafka did OK also. Crompton wouldn't be a bad pickup either. My point really is there is a lot of QB talent out there that could be developed if we pass on the big name Qbs. A lot of the second tier guys actually could go undrafted and we could pick up 2 QBs!

@bydavidwhite: If Raiders and 49ers want OT help, they should note Barry Sims is now in talks with the Redskins, per his agent.

Is this the same OT Barry Sims that is 35 years old? Sure, that makes him 2 years younger than Philip Daniels, but hardly someone to follow on twitter. I'm all for add veteran depth but this would barely be real news.

Yeah, the same one that loves to help holding penalties. I'm sorry, but there are better G's available than him.

Why havent we set up a visit with former Ravens OT Adam Terry? 6'8" 330 only 27 years old. His arms are a lil on the short side so he's more suited to play RT but last time i checked who we currently have there, its shakey AT BEST! i think he would be an immediate upgrade over Heyer and Williams. Would also let us be more flexible in the draft.

Restricted Free Agent. Drafted in the same year as Campbell.

Edit: Never mind.

Ravens | A. Terry not tendered

Adam Caplan, of Scout.com, reports Baltimore Ravens OT Adam Terry was not tendered an offer, according to a league source. Terry is now an unrestricted free agent.

Former second round pick though he "must have been released for a reason." Lol. Of course when I stop to think about it those reasons are Oher and Gaither.

My point exactly. Cant blame a team who doesnt retain a player cuz they already invested alot in their current starters. I dont think he was fit for their power running game. But in a Zone blocking scheme? when his main attribute is his athleticism for a big man. He could live up to his 2nd round pick. Which would give us some more leeway with THIS years current 2nd so we dont hafta go OL in the first, OL in the second, we could grab a NT, CB, RB, or FS.

He'd be an improvement over Heyer and has starting experience at both Tackle and Guard. I would see him starting at RT here with Okung at LT.

Im hoping he leaves Indianapolis without a contract, but i doubt that happening

Did anyone else see that the Redskins apparently made an offer to Kevin Faulk, according to his agent? Thought that was interesting.

He'll be 34 in June. Seems a little odd we'd offer him a contract. Oh well, I guess they have something in mind for him.

Yeah I thought that was interesting too.

Did he even come in for a visit?

Damn this new front office is great at keeping the lid on things.
