2013 NFL Free Agency Thread

[Totally_Red]

I would love both. Alexander is a beast on ST's, and a solid backup SILB as well, dont want him starting, but solid backup. Although there are more touchbacks now Cribbs will still be running it out of the endzone about 40 to 50 times at 28 yards a clip, it would also put Petersons mind fully on making the next step in his CB development instead of still returning punts.

Totally agree! Special teams is going to very important for the Cardinals to be competitive in the NFC West. Josh Cribbs has been a pro-bowl caliber special-teamer and is loved by Browns fans. He is the consummate professional and I hope we sign him.

What about SS Bernard Pollard... Just released by Balt?

Welker and Pats broke off talks yesterday.

Remember this, Pats fans: BRADY loves Welker. He values him A LOT. So if Welker gets lowballed and leaves, the guy who gave back is unhappy

On day Bengals lost Manny Lawson, Cincinnati free-agent LB Rey Maualuga is visiting the Arizona Cardinals.

StL is not in a rush to sign LT Jake Long, it will do all the due diligence on his health.

Ian Rapoport@RapSheet

Chiefs are trying to trade Matt Cassel, I'm told. No surprise. Interested parties? Look at Vikings, Cardinals, Bucs. Otherwise he'll be cut


Send them Peterson and a 2nd, Keim. Get it done!!!

Steelers deal with LB Larry Foote was 3 yr/$5.5 mill, $2.5 mill guaranteed.

We did this last year and it worked pretty well. This is the thread for all non-Cardinal related free agency news. That way, the board doesn't get cluttered with "_____ signs with ______" threads.

The games get going at 1 pm today, but I'm going to start posting insider info/rumors on this thread until then.

Interesting take by one of the big time Gurus on one of our QB's:

Brian Hoyer, Arizona Cardinals

We're back to where we started in Arizona. A restricted free agent, Hoyer may stick where he is. I was surprised that he was released by New England. He was getting a lot of preseason reps and I thought he performed well. He has skill, a good arm and he's a solid decision-maker. The Cardinals threw him into the season with very little practice time, but in his second showing I thought he was pretty good considering his limited reps in the Cards' system. Hoyer could be a guy who could surprise as a QB solution in 2013.

Jason La Canfora@JasonLaCanfora

Very slow market for older WRs, many GMs unsure if $8M/year will be there for Jennings, Welker. More here:

 

[john h]

He's better than Stanton or Hoyer, just to show you how screwed the Cards are!

If we do not pick up one of these FA QB's then it makes it more likely we take a QB in first round IMHO>

 

[crisper57]

Ian Rapoport@RapSheet

I expect the CB market to pick up today… Antoine Cason, DRC (Denver), Keenan Lewis all may be visiting places today. Sean Smith, too.

Michael Silver@MikeSilver

Pats fans: "Our QB took less so our leaders can decide how not to spend money on THEIR terms. And Brady's favorite WR sucks anyway so...."



When Silver gets bored, he starts to stir the pot.

Crisper has 5,507 posts and Im pretty sure that 5,000 of them have come during the NFL FA periods over the years.

Only 4,000. The rest come up in P and R around Budget Season.

Well, that was fun. The only player that would induce me to watch the Arizona Cardinals in 2013 is off the market.

I guess it's a good thing there's a driving range within walking distance of my house.
