Official 2011 FA Frenzy Thread

[Silverback]

I told Matt this earlier, but I'll say it again.

NOT a fan of the Asomugha move. Cap is $120 million. Asomugha wants $16 mill/yr. You shouldn't be paying one player 10+% of your budget. Especially when it's not a need position. Absolutely it's an upgrade. But they need to shore up the DL, FS, and SS position. Now. Signing him won't allow good players at the need positions.

I disagree, I think they can and will make room for him, and still be able to pick up some of filler guys who have played for Ryan.

I don't think he's going to get anywhere close to 16 million, no one has that kind of room, on a team he wants to play for.

I think he's backed himself into a corner with only the Cowboys and Jets looking at him now, and he's gonna have to settle for less money.

Speaking of the rangers, do you think the reason chuck greenburg was booted was due to michael yoing and that drama that went on in the offseason?

I thought one of the main reasons that he got booted cause he went behind Nolan Ryans back after he said that they were out of Cliff Lee race. But I dont know if that is true or not.

Lost in all of this is there still isn't a real safety playing for the Cowboys.

That's why I said they need to address their needs now. Not later.


Matt - if you're going to fill those spots, why not fill them with the beat you can get? They don't exactly have a choice in the matter. They HAVE to pick up players for the positions I mentioned. They currently couldn't play an NFL game because they don't have ANYONE in those positions. Sign what you need. If there is still room for Nnamdi, then go after him

What about the theory that these free agents might actually see the Cowboys are good with Nhamdi's addition, and lower their price at a chance for a ring?

I'd say the odds of that are between slim and none.

They may still be able to renegotiate other contracts to make room if need be.

Romo being one

They are already talking to Romo, Austin, and Ware about restructuring. That was solely to fill the holes they have. DL, FS, and SS.

[idrivea4banger]

I read Romo has agreed to restructure his contract. He was injured last year so wouldn't that be a given he'd get paid less anyways??

Have faith in Jesus Jones!!


Marcus Stroud is out there, and he will be cheap I bet.

UPDATE: The Jets have redone the contracts of LB Bart Scott, RB LaDainian Tomlinson, LB Calvin Pace, G Brandone Moore as well as QB Mark Brunnell to set the stage for Asomugha, according to NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi.

Less money for Nnamdi: Cowboys reached agreement with Marcus Spears on a 5-year, $19.2 million deal

why? Is he honestly worth a new deal?

I think that is too much, but that is my opinion.

I think he has never lived up to his hype. I wonder how much is guaranteed.

[Silverback]

"the last time that Jones went out and paid a boatload of money for a corner coming over from the Bay Area--Deion Sanders in 1995--it immediately yielded a Super Bowl triumph."

I'm just sayin...

ESPN radio is reporting Todd Archer tweeted that Rob Ryan and Jerry are doing fist pumps on the sideline with phone in hand. Take it for what its worth....
