2010 NFL Free Agency Rumors and Reports (Week 2)

[SmootSmack]

Titans still want to bring him back, but not sure where that stands right now

Smoot, if Snead had played as well in 2009 as he had in 2008 where would we be talking about him right now in the draft?

"Oh man, Tiger better watch out. Snead can really drive the ball far." Probably has a site with Chuck Norris Snead jokes. The thing is that I recently saw someone suggest that Houston Nutt was a QB killer (not unusual for an SEC coach :P) and that Snead might have either lost his starting job permanently or regressed further under Nutt. Personally the guy intrigues me more and more though I still say he's a poor mans Jay Cutler.

Which is: a JP Losman clone?

I agree.

Much higher of course, I'd imagine. It's not an excuse because everyone has to deal with off the field issues but Snead had serious personal issues this past season which I believe affected his performance on the field.

Really? What were they? I didn't hear anything about that.

I just read that the Browns will pay him $7M this season!! WTF?? WHY?? Plus the Panthers owe him $12.7M this year. So he's going to make just shy of $20M in 2010 despite being the worst starting QB in the NFL in 2009. Staggering. Just staggering.

What a fail by Cleveland. And an even bigger fail by Carolina for giving him $20M in guaranteed money right after he threw 5 picks in a playoff game. Such a waste of money.

As bad as the Archuletta and Lloyd contracts were (Lloyd's being an extension), the Delhomme extension has to be one of the worst contracts in the history of the NFL.

The signs were there during the 08 regular season that Jake was losing it and then he turned it over 6 times against Arizona. After arguably the worst performance in the history of the NFL playoffs by a QB (5 picks and a lost fumble) Carolina gives Jake a 5 year extension with 20 million guaranteed. So coming off a huge season in 08, Jake continues to turn it over (even though their sorry asses somehow beat us) and ruins their season. Looking at how Carolina finished the season with Matt Moore (I have already forgotten his name....) they were a good team outside of Delhomme. In summary they paid Jake Delhomme over 20 million to ruin their 2009 season.

GTripp did not contribute to this post, but he does approve the message.

Cool. I'd like to know. I'm an SEC guy, and I was high on Snead going into the 2009 season.

Yeah, from an intangible standpoint his record is sketchy. At Texas he couldn't beat out Colt McCoy (understandable considering how Colt turned out), but most recently at Ole Miss he decided to leave because his starting job was in trouble. I'd be interested in seeing what a coach like Shanahan thinks considering the theme for camp this year seems to be competition. Actually I'm kind of surprised that at this point the Redskins don't like Clausen. I figured that Shanahan would see a little of him in Clausen.

Maybe Shanahan does like Clausen?
