Yeah, I've been checking that out. I think I read in that site that the Cowpokes are nowhere near a new deal with Ware and negotiations for an extension may go into the summer. I wonder if this will affect them in signing Lewis.

Oh lord. It will certainly be annoying to read Florio pat himself on the back in some poorly disguised self-deprecating way while bragging about PFT's traffic.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

15 minutes into free agency...time enough for the Danny to sign 3 or 4 players. WTF is taking so long?

Florio is looking at himself in the mirror and smirking.

"Dockery could be a huge help. He's remained close to former first-round pick Chris Samuels and the two would be the team's top linemen."

Snyder said one of the things he learned from Gibbs was patience. Give it another 5 minutes.

Aaaaaaaaahhhh, John Clayton and his death face are on ESPN HD!!!

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

We just gave 6 years, $54M for D'Angelo Hall. Holy Shit.

$22.5 guaranteed, $30M in the first three years. What an overpayment.

Clayton reports Haynesworth is getting more calls than even HE expected. Everyone is willing to go 15-16 mil a year.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

Chris Canty then Willis and Dock. Thats a nice crop of free agents. With those guys on board you won't hear any objections from me about non-line picks come draft day.

Better get him. Guys got a 75 rating from Scout.com and thats not easy to get. Of course Haynesworth is a 92 but guys gonna cost us $15 mil a year.

[B]Alert:[/B] None

[B]Comment: [/B]Canty has great size and natural strength to hold the point versus the run or push the pocket rushing the passer. He is long-limbed, which enables him to lock out and shed effectively. He has improved his hand use to separate to ball carriers and has become a more active defender in his third season. He is an instinctive player reacting well as plays unfold. He feels pad pressure well and constrains running lanes by pressing back into blockers. Canty had his best season of his pro career and has improved his pass rush package, but needs to continue to expand his initial moves and counters. He is a good football player who plays with a great motor and should continue to get better as his career progresses. His outstanding size makes him a fit in both a 3-4 or 4-3 defensive schemes and his versatility gives him added value. Canty will be a high-value free agent and likely re-signed by the Cowboys.

Why are we putting Canty and big Al in the same sentence. Canty is a younger version of Phillip Daniels... in fact Canty's production is closer to Evans than it is to haynesworth. I'm lost on the excitement over this guy.

Well, we just signed Hall to a big deal, so the team won't have the money for AH. I know they are not the same, but the team is looking to add a d-lineman free agent.

Hall Re-Signs With Skins
Friday, February 27, 2009
Posted By Mike Florio 12:20 AM
A league source tells ProFootballTalk.com that cornerback DeAngelo Hall has agreed to terms to remain with the Redskins.

Per the source, it's a six-year, $54 million contract, with $22.5 million in guaranteed money.

It's the second big contract in less than a year for Hall, who was traded last March to the Raiders and inked a long-term deal.

The Raiders eventually cut him, paying out $8 million for only eight games.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

I love how theESPN ticker says John Clayton breaks the news about D.Hall five minutes after it's posted on this board.

Canty's over 300 pounds and even played a little nose tackle for the Cowboys. He's easily capable of moving inside if need be. Besides with guys like Canty you don't look at sacks. A lot of pass rush problems came from guys like Romo who can step up in the pocket and in the end not have to throw over anyone. Haynesworth 8.5 sacks is an annominly and more of an exception then the rule.

Plz every1 r kn0 the journa1ist read da ExSkins.

Edit: funny side note there are as of now 3 open DeAngelo Hall threads dedicated specifically to his signing.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

I just caught the Hall signing deal 6 year/54 mil. All though I'm glad to have him, they overpaid for his services IMO.

Springs is going bye bye, I would have to guess.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

Com'on Canty!

Where is Schneed to enlighten us on the cap implications of Hall's deal...

And can we cut Springs now... i know i'm a jerk LOL

Could be worse. Could've been 7 years/$70mil.:lol:

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

So a big deal for Hall means no Haynesworth? I kinda hope so. Bring on Canty, we get a good player and the satisfaction of taking a good player away from the Cowpukes.

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

DeAngelo Hall signed for 6 years, 54 million

Re: 2009 Free Agent Signings
 

as of right now i'd guess this is the breakdown:
[code]
year 1 2 3 4 5 6
SB 3.75 3.75 3.75 3.75 3.75 0.00
salary 2.50 3.25 4.23 5.50 7.14 9.28
[/code]

which pays him 32.5mill in the first 3 years (report said 30mill+). and matches my pre-signing thoughts of 6.25mill for 2009 (NOT 4mill).
