2013 NFL Free Agent Thread

[BearCat204]

Didn't see one if these created yet, but Steven Jackson will enter free agency as he declines the final option year at STL

That surprised me sorta.

 

[BearCat204]

That surprised me sorta.

Yeah me too.....thought he would just demand more money there. He will no doubt he one of the top free agents this year.

 

[005]

Plenty of teams could use a RB. Hard to project where NFL guys go.

 

[n_huffhines]

He'd fit right in in Denver!

Finally the Colts will be able to be active in free agency. With about 43.1 mil in cap space they will be very active in free agency. One report says they are going to be very aggressive in going after G Louis Vasquez from the Chargers.

Chiefs just traded for Alex Smith.

Chiefs just traded for Alex Smith.

Is that really an upgrade?

 

[005]

Yes. And a really good deal for SF for a player they didn't need.

 

[BearCat204]

Yes. And a really good deal for SF for a player they didn't need.

I would think that they would have focused on drafting a QB instead of putting money into Smith. Wait, what did KC give up for him?

 

[005]

two second rounders i think.

 

[milohimself]

Looks like a win win on the surface.

2013 and 2014 second round?

 

[n_huffhines]

Nice deal for SF...not so sure about KC. Time will tell.

 

[phowell23]

In my opinion, a horrible trade (for KC). Alex Smith is decent, but not good. Not a huge upgrade and gave up too much to get him. Then again if I really knew what I was talking about I would be sitting in a cozy NFL GM office right now.

 

[Panthro]

Any Arrested Development fans here?
When I heard this trade, my reaction was..."him???"

 

[AllOrangeVol]

Very surprised the Chiefs gave up that much for Smith even if the 2014 pick is a conditional one. The 2013 second round pick they gave up is essentially a first round pick.

Wouldn't be surprised if my Eagles release Nnamdi.

 

[BearCat204]

Wouldn't be surprised if my Eagles release Nnamdi.

No doubt, they have already asked him to take a huge pay cut. I think he will be gone along with DRC. I've been hearing that they will make a huge push to go after Revis

Alex Smith was 6-0 this season before Kaperdick took over. Thats defiantly a upgrade for KC. This isn't just about fantasy fellas. I'd love to see My Pats pick up a good RB and One standout WR.

Who exactly is there to draft?

SF's supporting cast, especially on defense was much, much better than KC's........not saying Cassel wasn't absolutely terrible.

True, not much

I believe they scored next to nothing against the 2 good defenses he played against. He really ran it up on the other opponents, though.

 

[milohimself]

Either way, it's a significant upgrade for KC at quarterback, especially considering there don't seem to be any great QB's coming down the college pipeline.

SF got good draft value and KC got a QB that could be at least of decent enough quality to win a playoff game.

 

[FalcoVol]

Ever notice how these tremendous QB and CB contracts have to be restructured or completely scrapped after only a couple years in?

I know it can be said for all positions, but you better have good value at those two positions to maintain a great roster.
