Free Agency:

[bird_1972]

A 3rd and a couple of 4ths are comforting.

I hope with that we can take OL with two and BPA with the last one.

I figure 5th round onwards is just depth/ST, although we could always be pleasantly surprised.

Hopefully, this means we don't need to get one of these expensive guards that are still out there (even though we could certainly use the help).

Can't conceive we're looking at starting a 3rd or 4th round rookie at RT or OG.

Free agency will be on our daily radar right up 'til and through training camp.

Helicopters following Broncos team van as it goes to meet Manning. Too funny.

Rut Row!

New team emerges for Manning's services...

Care to guess???

Agreed.

Just worried about how much cap room we have left to sign guys that are potential starters on the line.

Perhaps there are some RT that can be drafted and can sit behind Jamaal Brown until either he gets injured or said rookie gets "up to speed" later in the season. I just don't see how we can fill that particular OL need in FA (guard perhaps, but not RT).

Yup. Thems the ones.

Yup. Thems the ones.

I had a feeling they'd throw their helmets in the ring eventually. Just didn't want to piss off Alex Smith. Makes too much sense and Peyton would be stupid to ignore their overtures.

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Wow. Hearing that Manning had a workout with the 49ers earlier this week. Dang. Keep him out of the conference.

Looks like we have the Vikings' 6th rounder (#162) and traded ours to the Saints (#166).

Do we lose a 6th for Hightower AND Brown? Anyone know?

The 6th for Brown was conditional, I believe, and he did not met the conditions. I think we sent a 6th to AZ along with Holiday for Hightower.

Saw it on ESPN at lunch. Reminded me of the OJ pursuit.

So, SF gets Manning and then trades Smith to the Browns?

 

[Burgundy Burner]

The bidding for Manning begins. Denver, Tennessee, and San Fran are the finalists.

The bidding will start at $60 mil over five years and $30 mil guaranteed.

when compared to Mario Williams' deal ANYTHING we see now looks reasonable

Smith is a FA. If I was him...

So we should have a 6th still since we got one from the Vikings for McNabb ...

You'd think it would be easier to find this stuff out. NFL.com only shows the first round. Redskins.com is useless. The unofficial sites are all conflicting.

What the hell, internet?

 

[Bulldog]

But he's restricted. So, his rights would be traded for picks?

 

[Om]

I think someone needs to be in charge of this.

Henry, you just volunteered.

Why not just go to Drafttek: http://www.drafttek.com/

They keep their site quite up-to-date.

As far as I know, the Brown pick was conditional on the % of snaps (90% or something like that) and the condition wasn't met - so the Skins should have a 6th from MIN, but not their original 6th.

Leave to a wonderful lady to do something like, you know, actual research. The men here wanted to debate it for another hour.
