Around the NFL Free Agency Thread 2013

Captain Checkdown is a cleveland Brown. Wow his career is down the toilet.

Cleveland's O-line will actually be the best one he's ever had...solid line.

They wanted to bring in competition for their 30-year old sophomore QB. Should be interesting to see if JC can actually challenge him. It's possible, Weeden is not a clear #1.

Micheal Huff signs with Baltimore Ravens.
I am glad he did not sign with Dallas.

John Mara is like a child upset with how the game was going (Redskins/Cowboys getting better with cap help due to uncapped year), so he got the rules changed (the CBA amendment) to gain an advantage. When the Skins and cowboys had broken no rules themselves.

It's pretty cut and dried. John Mara cheated by unfairly handicapping two division rivals, and reinforced illegal collusion to boot. Collusion to nullify an uncapped year that the NFL and NFLPA had negotiated under the previous CBA in good faith. I should stop being funny and call it what it is. John Mara is slime.

Say what you want but there were others involved ,like it or not.

Why? Huff has been a huge bust for the Raiders. If anything, he'd make Dallas worse. Which is good for us.

By "say what you want" do you mean anything other than "Yes those are the facts and I admit on this issue that John Mara is a slimeball."? If not what do you mean?

Yes, Demaurice Smith is another slimeball. He sold out the players, by excusing NFL collusion, to keep his job. Do you dispute this?

In eight years in the NFL Michael Huff has zero touchdowns and 11 ints. Why people think he's the second coming of Ed Reed or Champ Bailey I have no ideal.

I don't think Fred Davis will be here next season. Shame. We're going to the Super Bowl.

The fact that he's weighing all these offers tells me he feels disrespected by the money we're offering him. I expect him to not sign back with us. We sign Winfield, giving us the flexibility and freedom to draft a TE with our 2nd rounder.

If he is able to be a day one starter and put up solid numbers immediately. I could live with it.

Otherwise, I agree.
