You sound surprised. I mean would you let the best guard in the league hit the open market? Especiallly after you're hand cuffed by the uncapped free agency rules for playoff teams, or at least teams that got past round 1.

No, not at all surprised. Just...doggone it. He would have looked good in B&G.

I also won't be surprised if the Pats retain Nick Kaczur but I still will say, "Doggone."

I'm holding my hopes for the Nick Mangold-for-Reed Doughty trade.

Yeah, I hear you. My trade Colt Brennan for Tom Brady trade is still pending.

Just remember about these linemen being tendered by the Saints, they don't plan on keeping all of them. And Williams would sure like to have a safety he's comfortable with back there (as long as they're not keeping Sharper) so...

Anyhow, rumors of a McNabb to San Fran deal. I'm not buying it

Why not go after Peppers ... last time I checked the guy is a BEAST ... it's going to be uncapped .. Jack kent Cooke didn't have a CAP and we WON ... HTTR

Sign Peppers and Dansby .. I want to see them both in HD @ Fed Ex this fall

Mike Bell has been tendered as well. I personally would have wanted Evans.

Yes, he's been tendered but if we sign him for that much or more we can get him and don't have to give up a pick for him, since he was an undrafted player and they tendered him for the lowest tender, we don't have to give up anything for him if we want him. Yes, believe thats how this works.

I think Chris Wilson will thrive as a olb in a 3-4

1. Julius Peppers, DE, Age 30, Rating 92
2. Ben Watson, TE, Age 29, Rating 91
3. Gary Brackett, LB, Age 30, Rating 91
4. Kevin Walter, WR, Age 29, Rating 89
5. Bobbie Williams, G, Age 33, Rating 88
6. Darren Sproles, RB, Age 27, Rating 88
7. Chad Pennington, QB, Age 34, Rating 87
8. Aaron Kampman, DE, Age 30, Rating 86
9. Nate Burleson, WR, Age 29, Rating 86
10. Keith Bulluck, LB, Age 33, Rating 86

I'm going to use this thread to throw up all the "player x released" news links, which will leave it all in one place to add to the FA spreadsheets.

GTripp, if you have finished your spreadsheet, can you post the best available OL, with age, and rating? Would like to see what names are even out there on the OLine side of the field.

I know this isn't what your asking for but this has I think the top OL out there that we might be looking at

This year's class of unrestricted free agents is not considered an overwhelming one. Green Bay's Chad Clifton and Arizona's Mike Gandy appear to be the top tackles available. San Francisco's Tony Pashos played under Chris Foerster, Washington's new offensive line coach, with the 49ers and in Baltimore. While he seemed like an early favorite, 49ers head coach Mike Singletary said last week that he's hopeful Pashos will be locked up before he can hit the open market.

I'd like for us to pick up Pashos atleast. I think he was pretty good.

Does anyone know the deadline for actually placing tenders? Any reason the Skins haven't actually tendered anyone? (yes I am impatient, thanks)

They have till Thursday. Why throw it out too soon? Let all the other teams wonder what we are going to do. As far as our players I only saw a handfull I'd tender or resign. Obviously JC being the big one.

Maybe they are in talks with another team about a trade. If the other team doesn't come back with a yeah we want the player we can tender them.
