2012 NFL Free Agency Thread

[kam.]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that every player takes a Physical on his first visit and it gets passed around the league.

According to ESPN, Calvin Johnson broke the bank: seven years, $132 million, $60 million guaranteed. Wow

Calvin Johnsn's contract is the richest deal ever handed out in the NFL exceeding the $120M deal given to Larry Fitzgerald

1) Good for Calvin. Definitely big bux he deserved -- and i'm guessing other players on the team had restructured their contracts to make sure he could get the deal he needed.


2) Not sure about the physical thing. I assumed you took the physical once you reached an agreement on a deal. Maybe this is something with the new CBA, idk. I'll definitely have to look around and figure that out.

His deal actually opens up alot of cap for us i guess. And we already had 9 million in cap space.

maybe it's a back-loaded deal where the first year is much less than what he was already making? idk -- I'm not even sure how much he was making per year before the extension

Under new deal, Calvin Johnson's average weekly in-season paycheck is $1,109,243.70.

Damn lol.

Know why the Jags are interested in Laurent Robinson now.

Worked heavily with Jerry Sullivan the Jaguars WR coach last offseason/during the lockout. It factored bigtime in him having the year he did. I bet they fell he can get way better under Sullivan supervision fulltime.

Wow, he gets beat like a drum.

The Bucs have definitely "won" free agency.. Freeman now has a nice WR and with the Nicks signing, his offensive line is going to be pretty good, too.

Looks at eagles..

I guess people are saying Hakeem Nicks could get more money than Calvin next year.

Looks like A.J. Green will never get extended then when his Rookie deal runs out... Mike Brown is not going to pay 200 Million to keep him.

 

[.infamous]

I guess next year the cap is gonna be raised a lot with new tv deals

The Bucs were already bad last year so they have nowhere to go but up.. These two signings aren't going to disappoint. Don't care for the Wright addition though, not impressed with him.

After what Pierre and VJax got..D Bowe is gonna kill us

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Here you go Dustin lol:

No wonder Brown is stashing all the money.. But these prices are just outrageous, may as well start looking for our replacement.
