The official free agent tracking thread

realfreemancbs: Now, Flight Tracker shows Bud Adams plane headed to Raleigh. [via Twitter]

Maybe the meeting is happening earlier in the day than his other ones? (Manning at Duke???)

Is it possible that Bud Adams' pilot is just lost? LOL.

Well, it's that time of year again. If the Draft is our Christmas tomorrow kicks off our Thanksgiving. Should be interesting. I hope the Cards get Wimbley. I wanted him a few years back and they tried to trade for him, but he went to Oakland.

Does anyone really have any insight as to who the Cards might really be interested in? Any big names? I recall few years where we really made any impact signings other than Kurt Warner. Other teams seem to move fast while we seem to waint and as one of our former managers said you could get better value. That is one way to look at it but it also means the really good guys are off the board. Which is more important --Value or a good player? Can they be one and the same? Possible but not often.

I recall few years where we really made any impact signings other than Kurt Warner.

And Warner was not even considered an impact signing at the time.

josephperson: Panthers announce they've released P Jason Baker. Had cap figure of $2 million and was the lowest-rated punter in terms of net avg last yr.

 

[crisper57]

josephperson: Don't be surprised to see the Panthers look for a punter late in the draft. Georgia's Drew Butler could be a target. [via Twitter]

I heart Steinbach. If he's healthy, he is one of the best guards in the NFL.

Average hands & a lousy route runner. Eli made him look a lot better than he really is..and a lot of money as well!

I agree, Bob. Not going to hurt anyone over the middle either.
