Re: Cut, Signed, and Tagged - Free Agency News HQ

OF COURSE THIS IS HELPFUL!!!!!! Great thread man, thanks. Yes, I could go to Rotoworld and find this info but I like seeing it here for 1)it's an easy compiled list and 2)it's that much more traffic for this board.

Re: Cut, Signed, and Tagged - Free Agency News HQ

Well Done Sir....Still waiting on TO to be AXED :twisted:

As a Cowboys fan, I'm not liking that move. I don't want him in our division, lol.

Re: Cut, Signed, and Tagged - Free Agency News HQ

ya seems like our division has attracted all the top free agents the last few years,

The cowboys are letting me down, we are so poorly run, have no coaching leadership, have no on field leadership, Bill took our best coaches, Romo is scared like Eli Manning was before Shockey and Barber got moved. Gonna be a long year

I hear that. Jerry Jones said that the Cowboys would probably be quiet in free agency, so that just makes things worse. I was happy when I first heard the Ray Lewis rumors, because he would bring the heart that the team seems to lack. Oh well, nothing to do but wait and see.

Re: Cut, Signed, and Tagged - Free Agency News HQ

Haynesworth agrees to 7 year deal for 100 million with the redskins. 41 million is guaranteed with incentives the overall amount could be close to 115 million.

Re: Cut, Signed, and Tagged - Free Agency News HQ

Redskins sign Haynesworth, 7 years $100M.
Patriots close to deals with both Fred Taylor and Chris Baker.
Eugene Wilson retained by the Texans.
Bart Scott to the Jets
Check out Schefter's blog: http://blogs.nfl.com/category/adam-sche ... ncy_friday

Re: Cut, Signed, and Tagged - Free Agency News HQ

wow redskins are paying big bucks for him, i personally dont think it is worth it.

and bart scott, linebacker for the jets

Re: Cut, Signed, and Tagged - Free Agency News HQ

I've updated the list to this point :
12:28 PM EST

I can't believe the Haynesworth deal, that's insane. I'm not sure he'll be worth that. We could see the Larry Brown Factor. For those who don't recognize that name offhand, the Super Bowl *** MVP for Dallas Cowboys, who signed with the Raiders after a great performance in the Super Bowl. He then dropped down to an average game.

Re: Cut, Signed, and Tagged - Free Agency News HQ

Great thread cardmagnet, ill be getting most my info from this here thread

Re: Cut/Signs/Tags - Free Agency News HQ - Updated 2:34 PM EST

Glad to see some positive response guys, thanks.

Updated again, just news though :
Patriots working on trade - Mike Vrabel (LB) to Chiefs
Brian Dawkins (S, Eagles) visiting Denver Broncos

Re: Cut/Signs/Tags - Free Agency News HQ - Updated 10:00 PM EST

Looks like the Redskins are the big spenders this year. $181,000,000 placed in contracts with just 3 guys during the free agency period. *In a Jim Rome voice* Phe-nom-inal.

Everythings updated on the list to this point, 10 PM EST

Re: Cut/Signs/Tags - Free Agency News HQ - Updated 10:00 PM EST

Not sure you have listed this one
Jeff Saturday has resigned with the colts
