Official 2011 FA Frenzy Thread

Cliff Lee's wife was the reason the Rangers couldn't get him to stay. Not really the 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 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.

Hillis is in Cleveland

Exactly. Broncos traded Hillis for Brady Quinn who has seen no action for the Broncos since the signing. Hillis however has become one of the leagues premier running backs.


I could only imagine if we had both of them

[Silverback]

The no state tax is an option, the Rangers tried to use that as leverage in trying to get Cliff Lee to resign.

New York, not here.

Yeah reading fools me once again.

[Silverback]

That still haunts me.... The whole McDaniels stint with Denver. Peyton Hillis & Moreno could probably be one of the best running back tandems in the NFL right now.

Wait.... What? He wants to come to Texas to become an actor? LOL!!! I've heard it all.... must be the next Jamie Fox.

He meant he wants to go to NYC to become an actor.

Reading is fundamental

[papapepper]

Honestly that puts the Broncos in a nice place, two solid backs.

Not 15 backs a season like before

Well yeah, from a financial point of view, its cheaper to work in Texas. Taxes, housing, etc is cheaper here. But this dude wants to be a actor so he seems to want to go there. At least the media portrays it that way. If he wants to come here and play football then awsome but if he wants to get into movies then stay away!

I wont shed a tear if he goes to the Jets though, we need help in alot of places and that is alot of money that he wants.

I doubt it. For some reason or another it seems like EVERY player just about wishes they could play for the Dallas Cowboys at some point in their career I've noticed.


Matt Moore just signed a 2 year deal with Miami worth $5 Million. The Dolphins owner declared the "Orton" deal, dead.

The Denver Broncos just signed Willis McGahee the free agent running back out of Baltimore. Smart move financially and he'll get to see some reps with Knowshon Moreno being the lead back.

[Rick Modena]

We need that ninja here and as long as he plays for one Ryan brother he'll be happy, I'm sure Texas is the place he really wants to be too.
