Post-Lockout Thread (Free Agency, Trades, Camps Let's Talk About It)

Burress-Giants
James Jones-Vikes
B.Edwards-Cinn
Randy Moss-San Fran/SD/Ariz (I do mean all three...lol...as he's cut by that many teams again this year).
Malcolm Floyd-Minn or Ariz or St.Louis

*Lance Moore is requesting reimbursement from the Saints for the going away party he threw for Bush. Moore was a lock for 80+ receptions. Now, he's back to his same exact role as last year. 62, 750 and 6td's. Decent, but not elite. Sorry Lance.

Maybe 60 or 70 catches 6 tds and 1000 combined yards sound about right? Or is he more the return guy and Ingram a true workhorse back? Hurts PT some, but really hurts Lance Moores value IMO.

[/QUOTE]That's a GREAT signing for the Saints and for Sproles. Instead of paying Reggie Bush $11 million this year or even $10 million over two years, they get Sproles for $14 million over 4 years. He's no less of a talent in the open field than Bush, so this is a great move. Yes, it muddles up the RB position in New Orleans, but it's great for Brees and great for the offense.

Damn, this NFC just keeps getting stronger and stronger. The top teams are really making some great moves. The Falcons hit a home run with the signing of Ray Edwards. They needed to upgrade their defense and they certainly did with this addition. Nice move Falcons.

CAN'T WAIT for the season to start.

Wow, Nnamdi Asomugha has signed a five-year, $60 million deal with the Eagles. That will REALLY help the Eagles' defense. Man, some of the top teams are just getting better and better. Cromartie and Asomugha without giving up a starter? Great off-season for the Eagles.

Thoughts? Nobody saw this one coming and it will have a big impact across the league. WOW.

Pretty disappointed. Still, you know the Jets are going to make another move or two.

Mike Sims-Walker signing with the Rams. He was a major bust last season but I think he has the most upside of any St. Louis WR and the only one with No. 1 potential. He needs to stay healthy, but there's a lot of potential there and Bradford may finally have a No. 1 WR to work with.

[/QUOTE]I wouldn't project MSW to be as good as Lloyd was last season but we've seen how good MSW can be. And in my opinion, Bradford is a far more talented QB than Garrard. The questions with MSW are durability and whether he's got his ego in check. I think his friendship with Chris Johnson has led MSW to think the two of the are on equal planes as far as talent. But that ain't the case.

Jets have signed Burress. Nice one-year gamble on their part.

That could also mean James Jones is more likely to return to the Packers. The Vikings appear to be out after signing Michael Jenkins (and boy do their WRs stink other than Harvin). The Cardinals haven't pursued him aggressively yet. Unless the 49ers step in, I'm not sure anyone else will be in on Jones. The Packers are patiently waiting this out and could get him back at their price.

If Jones returns, the Jordy Nelson Love Train (which I have long believed is a bit out of control) will really have the brakes put on it. Jones would return to being the No. 3A WR with Nelson the No. 3B.

Plax to Jets. Nice. That should be fun to watch in the Big Apple.

Those damn Eagles are starting to make this Packers' fan mad!!

Now Jenkins? They've added four key starters to that defense in the last week without losing any offensive starters. They are going to be tough to beat if everyone stays healthy.

I hope Jones returns to the Pack. That could be a really deep wideout corps with him back, Cobb and even some of these undrafted free agents. They have a lot of talent there along with Finley. They need to figure out the RG position, but offensively they look solid. Grant, Starks and Green in the backfield is an improvement, too.

But you have to like what the Eagles have done so far. Solid last week.
