2012 Free agency chatter thread

[Midswat]

John Clayton expects the Redskins to pursue Cortland Finnegan, Vincent Jackson, and Eddie Royal.

I hope they don't land Royal.

He'll be like Santana Moss - a pain in the ass for us for years.

It's pretty quiet on my end. Just not able to get a lot.... But my sources tell me we're looking at 6-8 guys. Hope to have more INSIDER INFO soon...

 

[Midswat]

I can confirm. Regardless what you guys think of Jason, he runs a tight ship. I mean, I work for a trucking and freight company and I can only get bits and pieces of insider info.

Same here. My main guy has been quiet as a mouse since the NFL handed down its bull crap injunction. I'll keep hitting re-fresh on Twitter and Facebook just in case though.

I expect us to be lapped once again in free agency. One thing that drives me nuts is watching our arch rivals load up and we just sit there.

Don't get me wrong I don't want to sign players just to sign them, but there are a lot of players in free agency that can help this team immediatley.

If we don't hit on any of these good free agents we had better nail the draft with at least three starters or expect this team in the cellar of the NFC East.

 

[VA Cowboy]

We have a built in excuse for the lapping this year though.

We got teh penalty!!!111!!!!!

Eagles won the Free Agency derby last year. How'd that work out for them, Cr122?

Yeah, but they went about it all wrong.

 

[VA Cowboy]

Yeah, but they went about it all wrong.

Two words:

the lockout.

They'll likely kick arse this year...well, at least ours.

That'll be the first thing to come out of that egomaniacs mouth.

they have beat us in the only 2 meaningful games we have played against them the last two years.

so whatever they have done wrong they have still kicked our ass.

saw chocolate lab say on the zone that ed werder said the cowboys are expecting to lose laurent robinson now because he is too expensive.

 

[Cr122]

I believe it. We'll end up going with Harris or some other inexpensive free agent.

I don't expect us to do much in free agency either. second or third tier free agents.

Just like Midswat said in another thread we'll wait until the dust settles a little then sign a few players.

I'm still holding out hope it's someone like Grubbs, Carr, maybe even Rogers. Hopefully they don't get a lot of imterest and their price goes down.

If he's too expensive, then he can go to some other team and go back to being irrelevant.

Next man up.

Paying third receivers multiple millions is not a smart allocation of resources.

Especially when they're not dynamic special teams contributors.

Yeah, because they were the only team that was affected by two words: the lockout.:Moss

I bet you said the exact same thing at this same time back in 2009, when they kicked our ass in 2008. We returned the favor in 2009.

Colston re-ups for 5 years in NO. Best fit for both sides. Colston is a huge weapon over the middle for the Saints
