Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread

[GTripp0012]

My free agency spreadsheet is almost done, but in the meantime, I thought I'd throw up a "best available" players cheat sheet. Available implies a UFA who does not wear a franchise tag.

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.

the only guy i would even think about is Brackett. and thats only if the skins dont get Dansbury

Glad to see Kevin Walter on the list. Perfect, affordable replacement for ARE with knowledge of the young Shanny offense.

I would like to see Walter. I would also like to see if we could get Sage from Minny for a reasonable price.

When ARE is gone, I am doing a jagrbomb.

Sounds good to me.
Knows the Kyle's offense and he's a productive player.

Darren Sproles is just what this offese needs....besides 3-4 line men. lol. But if we don't have to give up draft picks to get him then make the move asap.

I'm sorry, but I can't read 12 pages of this before posting - someone may have already pointed this out - but as of this morning, Sproles has been tendered for a one and three - he's good, but he ain't worth that!

Damn, that's a very good move for the ravens. That will improve their offense dramatically.

Hey, didn't we get a stud WR for 3rd and 4th picks! Brandon Lloyd...

To see Ozzie Newsome pull these moves year in and year out makes me want to throw up. Our previous front office was so f-ing shitty...

He's ok, i dont see exactly why we need him though

Because our runningbacks can't score unless we are at the one (and that has been elusive too). We could also use a boost in the return game.

That being said, if his market value is more than a 2 or 3 million a season, I would rather draft someone.

Is there any chance we could trade Betts to San Diego for the right to wear the powder blue jerseys?

You definitely have a point i just think RB are a dime a dozen, we could just draft one in the lower rounds, kinda tired of picking up other team's players who are looking for a big payday.

If? You think we could sign him for 1.5 or something? haha

Is 2 or 3 = 1.5? I don't know what he is worth so I threw some numbers out there. He is viewed as a part time back and we are already paying a runningback 10 million so how much should we really commit to the postion.

If Sproles is looking for Reggie Bush $? If so, pass.
