gangreenman 56,122 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thats right people, its that time!!!! Thiis is an idea that came to me earlier in the day and I posted it on the all nighter thread. This is going to be a thread for news about Free Agent signings and trades. Again, thats not opinions, thats news. My idea was to make it sort of similar to the KJ threads, except this is going to be a news thread compiled by several people (hopefully) over the course of the weekend. So, if you have news (as in, confirmed transactions or backboned rumors - multiple sources) feel free to post it here. If you have any opinions etc. about any of the news you see here, feel free to quote it and start another thread about it. ENJOY! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BroadwayJoe12 17,339 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I do like the idea of having an extra second and a 4th next year, if we fill enough holes this year we could use those extra pieces to make moves for players we want. I've heard it was a 3rd rounder with the option to become a 2nd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gangreenman 56,122 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 PATS: NO DEAL W/ MOSS As free agency began Friday at 12:00 AM ET, the Patriots had no deal in place with Randy Moss, according to ESPN's John Clayton. The 6'4 wideout with 4.3 speed and a 40'' vertical who scored 23 TDs last season is officially open to the highest bidder. The Patriots shouldn't be out of the picture, but the 31-year-old may as well look around. -Rotoworld 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gangreenman 56,122 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 SAMUEL TO PHILLY The St. Petersburg Times "has it on good authority" that free agent Asante Samuel will sign with the Eagles. In the last hour, there were all kinds of unsubstantiated reports coming out of Philly that the sides have a deal in place. The Birds may wait a few more hours or (ugh) until tomorrow to announce the agreement formally. -Rotoworld 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

victorjets 3,184 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Jets close in on Faneca The free-agent signing period opened at midnight, and the Jets were expected the strike quickly. The target: Steelers LG Alan Faneca. The Jets are poised to make Faneca an $8 million-a-year offer and, barring an upset, they will get their man. The official announcement may not happen for a day or two, but those in the know believe it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gangreenman 56,122 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 ESPN's Ed Werder reports LT Flozell Adams' six-year contract with Dallas is worth over $42 million, including $15 million guaranteed. Jerry Jones is thinking Super Bowl. Adams is highly unlikely to make it to the end of the deal (he'll be 38 in May of 2013), but if this is what it was going to take, Jones was going to make it happen. You can't fault him for that. -Rotoworld --- We all knew he signed-but these are the 1st real details Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vilma will go to New Orleans, apparently for a conditional pick in the 2009 draft. The conditional nature of the selection suggests that there are lingering concerns about Vilma's knee. -Profootballtalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KudosForND 2,255 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 SMITH TO VISIT VIKES As owner Zygi Wilf's plane heads to California to fetch receiver Bernard Berrian, the Vikes also have made arrangements for a Friday visit from Bengals defensive end Justin Smith. Smith played for Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier when Frazier worked in that same role with the Bengals. The Vikings have a need for help at defensive end because Kenechi Udeze recently was diagnosed with leukemia. Smith was Cincinnati's franchise player in 2007. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
