Either way the Dolphins are screwed... and they're not my team. Not like 49ers have been any better this off season. Seriously. I've seen every team in the NFC Worst add players to get better, but it seems as if the 49ers are going for addition by subtraction. http://www.csnbayarea.com/07/30/11/Harbaugh-49ers-working-hard-at-free-agen/landing_maiocco_v3.html?blockID=544791&feedID=5936 I'm glad they're talking to the the agents of all these players, but umm... can they sign somebody? Reading this made me literally lol 49ERS FREE AGENCY Additions: K David Akers (Eagles). Subtractions: C David Baas (Giants), CB Nate Clements (released), LB Takeo Spikes (Chargers), QB David Carr (released), C Eric Heitmann (released/failed physical), K Joe Nedney (released-failed physical/announced retirement). Re-signings: QB Alex Smith (UFA), DE Ray McDonald (UFA), C/G Tony Wragge (UFA), DB C.J. Spillman (EFA). Unsigned free agents: NT Aubrayo Franklin, S Dashon Goldson, OLB Manny Lawson, OT Barry Sims, RB Brian Westbrook, DE Demetric Evans, CB Will James, QB Troy Smith, K Jeff Reed. Well, I guess it could be worse. We could be the Bucs paying $3m + /year to a punter who isnt even good Really can't believe they're basically gonna not fill that void at CB though. I'm not particularly keen on overpaying Cromartie or Carlos Rodgers to be the top dog when they're really better suited to the second position | ||

Seriously our top WRs going into training camp are Josh Morgan and Ted Ginn Jr. That's a 6th rd draft pick and a return specialist who was traded for a 5th rd draft pick. Don't even get me started on our secondary. Anyways of our unsigned FAs I think we need to bring back Goldson, Lawson, Sims, Evans, and maybe Will James? (I have no idea who he is, but we need the depth). Oh yeah, bring back Clements at a reduced price pretty pretty please. Go out and bring in a TO or maybe even Randy Moss because they will be dirt cheap (I'm not for bringing in a overpaid #2 receiver, they usually never pan out, I'd rather have a veteran stopgap at this point), get some depth on the DLine, OLine and please sign ONE above-average CB. GOD DAMN IT PLEASE!!! | ||

There's so much need out there - Detroit, especially, could use a D-back. Detroit's policy: If we can cover for more than 2 seconds one of our D-line will be on your QB | ||

I would take my chances on Reggie Bush in a heartbeat over Marion Barber. This coming from a life-long Cowboys fan and Bush doubter. Meh; Bush is actually rather terrible. As a long-time Saints fan, he was more trouble than he was worth. He had 1 good game in recent memory and I think that was the game against the Arizona Cardinals 2 years ago in the Saint's super bowl season. What happened to Ronnie Brown? Is he gone? (Sorry haven't been really keeping up with that kind of stuff). I'm really just happy for the Saints because we got Mark Ingram. Hopefully he won't be nearly as disappointing as Bush was (I have faith; Bama is an SEC school.) And in other news, I appreciate the efforts the Texans are making to improve their secondary. I just hope that our offense can start off the year like they did last year. | ||

GOD DAMN IT PLEASE!!! I like Josh Morgan a lot even though I thnk there's a lot better #2s out there, but DB is much more of a concern. Like you said, Shawntee Spencer is coming in at the #1 and he is average at best. I dont want him as aything more thank a nickel back | ||

I just hope that our offense can start off the year like they did last year. The only trouble Bush was was his contract. He wasn't worth the money we were giving him, but you're absolutely daft if you think he somehow detracted from the team. He was the leading running back in all receiving categories besides touchdowns (which brees uses TEs for on short yardage anyhow) ever since he was drafted. This wasn't worth such a high price and draft pick (especially when in the same draft we got Colston, Evans, and Harper, lol), but he has long been an important and useful part of our offense. If he wasn't, we wouldn't have instantly signed sproles to act as a worse, but more affordable, replacement for him. | ||

Coming into the league, no one believed he would be a 25 carry, between the tackles HB; that's not what he was in college. They may have expected a bit more from the running game, but that's irrelevant considering his contributions in other areas of the game. His stats may not have reflected his importance, but he was probably the greatest "decoy" in the game. Other guys got open because Reggie was on the field, and a safety had to give him attention. If a LB was covering him, the LB got burned 9/10 times. Reggie Bush is largely responsible for the variety that Sean Payton was able to add to the offense. All that said, he wasn't worth $16M or whatever he was scheduled to get paid. He's more of a $5M guy like he is in Miami. | ||

I agree with just about all of that (there were a lot of people who felt like he was going to be able to carry the rock 30+ times a game though, I certainly thought he'd be better between the tackles). As you say, the Saints were screwed with his huge cap number; 5 mil is far more palatable. I might turn him into a slot WR and put him into motion every play, especially if I ran a lot of obnoxious wildcat plays. | ||

The Jets weren't particularly interested in resigning him without a discount and the pursuit of Nnamdi Asomugha meant that the Jets weren't going to spend money until that was resolved. Plaxico does replace Edwards but he is definitely older, though the production loss is probably marginal? I don't think much of Edwards, so we'll see. | ||

That all being said, I will can take solace in the fact the Eagles have 2 years tops to make said run. I cannot believe they can keep all those names under the cap for more than 2 years ( maybe even 1 year depending on success). | ||

I really HATE saying this as a Cowboys fan, but the Eagles have put themselves into NFC Superbowl contender (front-runner?) status. While I have no clue about what scheme they will be running (new D Coordinator), the amount of talent just on that side of the ball is simply sickening and would be capable of making a bland, vanilla defense look innovative. That all being said, I will can take solace in the fact the Eagles have 2 years tops to make said run. I cannot believe they can keep all those names under the cap for more than 2 years ( maybe even 1 year depending on success). In my opinion, a bomb free agency season does not necessarily equate to success. Football is a weird game; individual stars are usually a product of team chemistry and schemes as much as individual success. The last time I remember a team went on a free agency binge like this was snyder's redskins back in 2002? 2003? And that didn't work out so well. | ||
