I'm not saying he's a bad signing. Heck, he's one of my favorite players. I'm just saying he's no reason for Lions fans to start talkin <Censored>, lol.

None have :]

Glad we got Jones. I hope we're not done, so far its been a good offseason.

Good Pickup Birds

That's a terrible pickup. The Falcons are giving a average cornerback franchise type money. 57 million for Dunta Robinson is crazy.

True. Playing against him for many games - He is such a good corner when he wants to be, problem is, he usually doesn't wanna play to his potential. It's a damn risky move to toss that money out.

Is it official or anything? I can't find an official signing anywhere lol. All I see is speculation.

 

[Pugz]

I misread, lol.

The problem is, even when he wants to be he still isn't a shutdown corner. Rarely does he want to be too, which makes it even more of a problem. I'll take a wait and see approach, maybe he'll surprise. But I doubt it, that type of money for his is insane.

 

[Mooche]

I don't think nothing is in stone about Jones. The most likely team still to snag him has to be the Lions.

 

[Mooche]

yeah but unfortunately safety was our biggest issue last season, and unfortunately, he did like, idk, play in the Pro Bowl game.

average safeties don't play in Pro Bowls, he's still young, and he is 15x better than CC Brown and Aaron Rouse combined. It's worth the money, especially since $$ isn't an issue for a team moving into a brand new stadium.

In case you don't know, the pro bowl every year is becoming more of a <Censored>ing joke than past ones. And uh, pretty much kindly putting your point out, it's a joke.


He is an average safety at best. Even if he is dang good - does he deserve to be the highest paid safety in the league? No way in hell. Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed Etc. are all like 312040290x better players. It's simply a joke signing for the money they dished out to him. I don't even know how you can sit there and defend it.

Sometimes you gotta spend a little more money to get more production and he's just an imrovement for us not a final solution..

The Jaguars have reached an agreement with free agent Aaron Kampman, a source tells beat writer Michael C. Wright.
Kampman fills the Jags' No. 1 priority this offseason -- landing a premier pass rusher. He's coming off a torn ACL and was ineffective in the Packers' 3-4 set last season, but the two-time Pro Bowler will be an immediate upgrade at defensive end opposite Derrick Harvey. The length and terms of the deal are not yet available. Mar. 7 - 8:29 am et

<Censored>. As a Colts fan, was hoping that this would not go through dammit. They got a good pickup as they needed a rush end to compliment Harvey.

 

[Mooche]

The Chiefs have reportedly scheduled a visit with free agent Thomas Jones on Monday.
This has been in the works for days. Coach Todd Haley had made it known that he wants a complement to Jamaal Charles, and Jones rumors started to surface on Thursday. The Chiefs would be a worst-case scenario for Jones' 2010 fantasy value, as his touches will be limited behind Charles. Mar. 6 - 7:20 pm et

Maybe Jones for sure heading to the Lions is not set in stone...

Seattle is stupid if they use the sixth pick for Brandon Marshall.

CB Marlin Jackson (former Colts, first round pick) visits with the Baltimore Ravens.

Can't wait for the super bowl

 

[elcheato]

The Cleveland Browns have signed former New Orleans Saints linebacker Scott Fujita, The Plain Dealer has learned from a source today.

Fujita, 30, was an unrestricted free agent. He started at outside linebacker the last four seasons, including last season, when the Saints won the Super Bowl. The Saints did not believe he would leave them because of his strong ties to the New Orleans community.

Fujita could be a candidate to move to the inside in the Browns 3-4 defense. Terms of the contract were not immediately known.

 

[Blake]

Damn, I thought he'd want to stay a Saint.

Oh well, the Browns just got a Ruud-esque player.

 

[elcheato]

No idea why he would want to come here, probably offered him a lot more money.

I hope so, more money the Saints could spend to upgrade his spot!
