2012 NFL Free Agency Thread

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I thought he signed a week ago

Nope. Never went through with it.

Also, #Bills are close to signing #Patriots free agent DE Mark Anderson, per @alexmarvez. Anderson visiting team today. Great, quiet pickup.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Bills are running shit.

That D-Line is gonna be nasty as fuck

 

[RipCity32]

Kevin Smith got re-signed. Will probably be injured by week 3.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Broderick Bunkley to the Saints, 5 year deal.

 

[VC15]

Haven't followed this year's FA too closely. Who are the "off-season superbowl champions" so far?

 

[bosoxlover12]

Anderson is good, but he didn't even start in our 4-3. He was good in our 3-4 that we ran late in the year.

He'll be solid off the bench though, but I don't expect him to start

The Jaguars reportedly have interest in free agent WRs Lee Evans and Legedu Naanee.
Evans is visiting team headquarters on Wednesday. Signing Evans or Naanee would presumably allow GM Gene Smith to focus on other positions early in next month's draft. Evans is purely a downfield threat at this stage while Naanee is more effective near the line of scrimmage.

Welp, SMH.

Knew about Evans, hes in town Today.. Didn't know about Naanee.. Guess hes solid depth.

@AdamSchefter: Mark Anderson's four-year deal with Buffalo is worth $27.5 million, including $8 million guaranteed.

Lol, way much higher than BB would have given

 

[Rice18]

Nearly 6.9 per year ?

Turrible.

 

[kam.]

Pretty sure there was incentives that made it that high.

 

[RManske2]

I'm wondering if Bunkley is now trying to find a way to get out of his contract with the Saints with the news that came down today...

If he agreed and signed to it, he cant.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'm pretty sure he knew what was coming.

In other news, Peter Carmichael will reportedly take over the HC job this year.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Bengals agree to terms with RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis on a 3-yr deal. Not crazy about the signing, would have preferred Michael Bush but it didn't happen. At least Green-Ellis has not turned the ball over in a span of four NFL seasons, which covers 53 games played and 510 rushing attempts.

 

[bestkeptsecret13]

Mark Anderson cannot start. He's a great 3rd DE that can get after the QB, but he gets abused against the run.

#Bears[font="HelveticaNeue] have agreed to terms with RB Michael Bush on a 4-year contract. Total value $14 million. Deal includes $7 million guaranteed.[/font][/b][/color][/quote][font="HelveticaNeue][/font]

[quote][color="#ff0000"]#Bears[font="HelveticaNeue] deal with Michael Bush should expedite Marion Barber's release. Cutting Barber will save Chicago $1.7 million vs. cap.[/font][/color]

I guess i can welcome in Andre Caldwell, since it looks like he will be getting that Eddie Royal role.
