Patrick Willis, Justin Smith retiring from 49ers | ProFootballTalk

I didn't realize he had been in the league 8 years. Seems like about half that. Been great since day one. Guys drafted same year as Willis: (first rounders) Brady Quinn, LaRon Landry, A. Peterson, J. Thomas, B. Merriweather, B. Grubbs, D. Revis; (other rounds) Jacoby Jones, Ryan Harris, Doug Free, Kevin Kolb, Eric Weddle, Tanard Jackson.

If true, huge loss for SF.

Yeah i guess that was it...sure thats a surprise, but once again PFT implying too much bs. Especially with the Kaep rumor flying since last night...good job florio got everybody again.

^^ Agreed. Not sure how I feel about it. I was never sold on Kap or Foles as being anything other than mediocre starters. Kap has many of the same issues RGIII has. Foles, even in his phenomenal year, just didn't convince me he was special.

If it happens, CK will be re-upping the option attack in a big way. Essentially, inside/outside zone runs and package plays galore. It will probably all work as planned and I will hate the Eagles even more.

McPhee can play but has little experience as a starter. Yet he gets $8 mil./year.

Go shopping on the UFA market and pay the inflated price. It's just that simple.

I used to defend "market price" UFA shopping, but the truth is you almost always pay a premium for any good player who makes it to FA. Unless you're doing everything else right - draft, develop, and retention - UFA "market values" will kill your depth.

No Parnell in DC.....

Jaguars to add Jermey Parnell with 5-year, $32M deal

NBC Washington reports the Falcons have emerged as the "frontrunner" to sign free agent OLB Brian Orakpo.

New Falcons coach Dan Quinn may be eyeing Orakpo to play the "Leo" pass rusher role in his 4-3 under defense. Atlanta is also targeting Brooks Reed, whose strengths are versus the run and in pass coverage. The Falcons will have to hold off the Cardinals, Colts, and Redskins to land 28-year-old Orakpo.

ATL will be a good fit for RAK.
I can't wait to see what type of deal he gets.

No Iupati. No Branch.

Guess we're doing most of our roster reworking through the draft eh?

Or we are just waiting for prices to go down. The first wave free agents are getting mad money.

I do want a legit FS in FA.

only position i would pay good money if a sideline to sideline player is avail.

I really want a good FS.

sucks we didnt pull the trigger on some good 5 mil per FS last offseason .... when it was a glaring need and there was 2-3 good choices (not byrd, too expensive)
