2013 Free agents (1 Viewer)

[Chazzhawk]

Here are a list (I think not sure how accurate please correct if it is wrong) Of the free agents coming up this off season. I am bored so I just want to play a game and see where everyone thinks certain guys are going. I am only going to put down the free agents for fantasy purposes. No kickers or defenses.

Joe Flacco - Ravens - They were trying to get a deal done this last off season and I think I remember hearing they were close. I think they will franchise him if they don't come to a deal.

Alex Smith - Cardinals - They are wasting Larry Fitzgerald and a good defense, Alex Smith is more proven then Kolb was so I think this will be a good move, I also have a feeling they will win another game or two and be out of the running for a top pick quarterback.

Reggie Bush - Packers - I think the Packers draft a back but they still will be looking to win now, he would fit their system perfect on a 2 year deal.

Rashard Mendenhall - Jets - Mendenhall wants a big contract, Pittsburgh can't give it too him and I don't think anyone wants to take that big of a gamble on a running back that hasn't shown much this year. We all know the Jets will pay him.

Peyton Hillis - Rams - He will be very cheap and they will want some type of goal line back for Richardson/Pead. He will be easy to cut if he still sucks

Felix Jones - Panthers - After they release DeAngelo Williams this off season they will be looking to get a cheap version of him, and keep Tolbert at fullback.

DeAngelo Williams - Cardinals - I think this is a busy off season for the Cardinals. They have a playoff caliber defense, a decent receiving core. I except them to make a move on Alex Smith as well this season after he is let go by the 49er's.

Shonn Greene - Cowboys - Murray is fragile and is more of a home run hitter, I believe Jerry Jones thinks that if they had a decent running game all year they would be in the playoffs right now.

Danny Woodhead - Patriots - They love Woodhead and he is the best pass protecting and no huddle back they have.

Greg Jennings - Vikings - They are looking for another weapon next to Harvin and I think Jennings will have a grudge against the Packers and want to play them twice a year.

Mike Wallace - Panthers - They will be looking for a big play guy for Cam, he fits the bill.

Dwayne Bowe - Seahawks - They will be the only team that will give him the long deal he wants.

Wes Welker - Patriots - Tom Brady gets what Tom Brady wants, it will only be a 2 year deal but he will be back.

Danny Amendola - Rams - Bradford loves him and they will tag him if they have too.

Heath Miller - Steelers - They love him and he is one of the best overall tight ends in the NFL. They will do what it takes to get him back.

Jared Cook - Falcons - He wants to go to a team that will use the tight end in the right way, if Gonzo retires he will be the guy there.

Fred Davis - Jets - Keller will move on and the Jets will pay him to take his spot

Dustin Keller - Bucs - Clark has been decent but he is 33, to compete in the NFC south you need offensive fire power. Keller is a decent blocker and a good pass catcher.

Delanie Walker - Seahawks - He would fit perfect there, he is a great blocker for a run first team and you know the Seahawks want to give Wilson more toys in the passing game.

I think SJax is better fit for GB than Bush is.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Bowe will completely change the prospects for some team.

It would be awesome if he came to the Saints (they wanted to draft originally instead of Meachem), I just don't know the cap situation for any teams.

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

The Rams have the cap space, need and fit for Bowe. I'm betting he goes there.

Betting jennings is a re-sign. Even though he believes he's gone I don't believe it.

Disagree about Cook. I think Tony G comes back. I see Cook going to the Packers.

Some of these are really out of left field, ARZ isn't going to spend on Deangelo when they have Ryan Williams and Beanie

 

[Chazzhawk]

I am no Miss Cleo, was hoping some homers would chime in with some info. Really though Arizona won't look for a back because of Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams.

 

[Chazzhawk]

Some of these are really out of left field, ARZ isn't going to spend on Deangelo when they have Ryan Williams and Beanie

Here are the stats for those 2 this year.Ryan Williams = 58 carries 164 yards for a nice 2.8ypc 7 catches 44 yards and 2 lost fumbles and 11 missed games this year plus 16 missed last year.Beanie Wells = 61 carries for 146 for another eye popping 2.4 ypc 1 catch for 24 yards and 2 touchdowns and at least 8 missed games this season. Add that up and you get 119 carries for 310 yards 2 touchdowns, 8 catches for 68 yards and 2 fumbles. So basically you can take 4 average games for any back in the league to get what they have done in 12 games. Don't blame the line either because Stephens-Howling had a few decent games for them.Edit: Add Howling stats92 carries for 313 yards 3.4 still horribel but a mile better than the 2 above. 4 touchdowns and 14 catches for 104 yards.

You forgot Blount - I think he's better than Greene and Mendenhall which is funny because I was thinking the Cowboys or Jets would make the most sense for Blount. As you said Murray is somewhat fragile and he's been lackluster running the ball despite his good game yesterday against a dead Philly team. I suspect he goes back to his natural fit as a 3rd down back in 2013, making someone like Blount a perfect fit for 1st and 2nd downs. The Jets could keep Powell as the 3rd down back, although Blount has improved in pass protection and catching this year.

And as someone else mentioned, he's not technically a free agent, but StL will finally grant SJax his freedom.

I like the list, though.

DeAngelo will dominate in ATL next year.

Good call I did forgot Blount, which is sad since I have him handcuffed and stashed on a dynasty team.

 

[Kiddnets]

Woody Johnson loves big names - Bush wont command a big contract - add in Sparano OC and totally see him signed by the Jets next year.

 

[sho nuff]

I think SJax is better fit for GB than Bush is.

While he did it with Benson...not sure I see TT again going to an older FA back.As to the OP...why would Jennings hold a grudge against GB?

 

[Shutout]

Lots to dream and salivate on that list...I like it.

I think when its said and doen though, you might see somethingh like the Jets make a legit push for Flacco

and the colts making a big push for Jennings or Bowe or wallace.

Especially the idea about the colts. If they do get into the playoffs this year, they might very well be saying "why not us? Why not now? and go after another weapon in FA and use the draft for defense.

Flacco to the Jets just kinda sounds like a Jets move. You're in the big city of New York so you go looking for a BIG splash and if the ravens don't win the SuperBowl or happen to get knocked out of the playoffs by the Steelers again or soemthing, maybe, just maybe, they let him walk.

 

[FF Ninja]

What are the chances Chris Johnson gets cut? He's due $10 million. It would wreck their cap with the bonus getting accelerated, but $10 million is a lot of real money to pay him.

9/1/2011: Signed a six-year, $55.26 million contract. The deal contains $30 million guaranteed, including a $20 million signing bonus. 2012: $8 million, 2013: $10 million, 2014-2015: $8 million, 2016: $7 million (+ $2 million roster bonus), 2017: Free Agent

 

[ConnSKINS26]

It's crazy to see someone say that Murray's best fit is as a 3rd down back. Other than the injuries, he's proven to be a pretty good bellcow, and the cowboys love him.

Sounds like wishful thinking on your part. He's been lackluster as a runner. A cheap free agent could do better on 1st and 2nd downs. Plus, Murray won't hold up for 16 games as a bell cow. But he's a good pass catcher, so he'll still have a role.

I'm not sure where on earth you got this from. He averaged 5.5 YPC last season behind a below average OL, and in limited action this season behind an atrocious OL he has averaged 4.2 YPC. He's not Shonne Greene. He's pretty damn talented but has had injury issues.

I think he is too fragile to take a full work load week in and week out,(I think he can carry the ball 25 times in some weeks but not in back to back weeks, I think 250 touches is what you need to limit him to in a year) but he is more than just a 3rd down guy. You need to pair him with a Blount or Greene type and give him 12 to 18 touches a game to keep him rested. Think of Charles and Thomas Jones with the Chiefs.

Except that this year Charles has proven that he can have success with 20 carry games. You have to consider this is a Jerry Jones run team, this team isn't going to regularly run the ball 25+ times a game. Dallas loves Murray and when hes healthy he is going to see 15-20 carries. He had 23 carries his first week back from missing 6 weeks. "A cheap free agent could do better on 1st and 2nd downs"? ridiculous

 

[Boston]

Welker may stay with the Pats but he's not signing a two year deal...the guy is a big time player and if he hits the open market a team will step-up with a hefty deal...my guess is the Pats franchise him again and things get ugly...

 

[EBF]

Is DeAngelo actually a free agent? I think he's signed for a while longer, though there have been some rumors that they might look to cut him.

I would expect NYJ to retain Shonn Greene if Rex Ryan isn't fired. He is not an ideal option, but they don't have anyone better at the moment.

I think Mendenhall will be starting somewhere next year. He'll be a nice bargain for somebody, given that he's a proven starter who probably still has 2-3 seasons of his peak left.

I didn't say Charles couldn't do it, I am saying Murray can't do it. My example is when Thomas Jones and Charles shared a backfield a few years ago.

These are people I expect to be free agents, I am pretty sure DeAngelo will be cut. I think the Jets clean house and bring in new coaches, get a new starting quarterback (either free agent or high draft pick) and let a lot of the veterans walk or get cut (Greene, Bart Scott, Holmes, Keller)I think Mendenhall will be looking for a 1 year deal unless he gets big money, if running backs aren't drafted high (like top 10) they really only get one pay day, he will be looking for his.

Regardless, the rest of my post is still relevant. If the point of this thread is to discuss potential off season moves, no I do not think that the cowboys will bring in a RB and relegate Murray to the a 3rd down role.If the point is baseless wishful thinking or projecting what you would do if you were Jerry Jones, sure continue to debate what big free agent RBs the cowboys will bring in to be the bell cow.

I don't think they will either, I think they will bring in a back free agent or draft to help carry the load with him. I could see a 60/40 split.

4.2 ypc in that offense is nothing to write home about. He does break a nice long run to the outside from time to time (seemingly on busted plays), but if you watch the games it seems like he's regularly getting no gain.

Is DeAngelo actually a free agent? I think he's signed for a while longer, though there have been some rumors that they might look to cut him.

DeAngelo is not a free agent. Just very likely to get cut.I lump Greene and Mendenhall together. They'll both be doing good to be splitting carries. For reference, see Michael Bush this offseason. I think Bush is actually marginally better than both of those guys and the best he could do was land a job as the lesser part of a RBBC.

 

[FF Ninja]

That is hilarious to you? Blount hasn't lost his talent. His coach just hates him. There are some ignorant fools on this board...Blount's rookie ypc = 5.0Martin's rookie ypc = 4.7I think Blount will find a home in free agency. From all accounts he's gotten his act together.

 

[Texas989]

What about Chris ivory? Hell be a restricted free agent but they're backfield is real crowded don't see them bringing him back. He's a big back and has pretty good speed.

 

[UKColt]

I think the Colts will make a big play for Jennings or Bowe. Possibly Wallace, but Hilton/Avery are the speed guys for us at the minute so would be surprised if we got another one. Arians did work with him in Pittsburgh though, so it's a possibility. Have Hilton and Wallace in the same team would be pretty terrifying.

Colts have an absolute ton of cap room to work with as well, so I expect them to very active in FA, primarily on the defensive side of the ball.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Greg Jennings - Vikings - They are looking for another weapon next to Harvin and I think Jennings will have a grudge against the Packers and want to play them twice a year.Mike Wallace - Panthers - They will be looking for a big play guy for Cam, he fits the bill.Dwayne Bowe - Seahawks - They will be the only team that will give him the long deal he wants.

Lions could use any of these to line up opposite Calvin. Dimwit Young will be gone & Broyles will be coming off another injury. Everyone else they have at WR they got off the scrapheap or just sucks.

I live in Michigan and hear a lot about the Lions. They just don't have the cap room to make a play for any of these guys, Stafford, Burelson, and someone else redid their deals just to get Calvin signed long term and to bring back Tulloch. I could however see them drafting another receiver in the draft. Plus their defense is just awful and needs major work. I expect to see a big cut or 2 by them this off season in an attempt to get some help on the defensive side of the ball.

As a Vikings fan I would rather have Wallace out of these 3 choices. With Wallace going long and Harvin and Rudolph working the middle all while the Defense is concentrating on Peterson makes for a very scary offense.

Greg Jennings - Miami

You got the Joe Philbin/Green Bay connection, and the desperate need for Tannehill to have a go to guy.

They really need to draft all back 7 defense but you may be right about them slipping in yet another WR.

 

[Godsbrother]

Rashard Mendenhall - Jets - Mendenhall wants a big contract, Pittsburgh can't give it too him and I don't think anyone wants to take that big of a gamble on a running back that hasn't shown much this year. We all know the Jets will pay him.Mike Wallace - Panthers - They will be looking for a big play guy for Cam, he fits the bill.Heath Miller - Steelers - They love him and he is one of the best overall tight ends in the NFL. They will do what it takes to get him back.

I don't think Mendenhall is getting a big contract from anyone but I do agree he won't be back with the Steelers.At one time I thought the Steelers would franchise Wallace if they couldn't sign him to an extension but his performance this season has been underwhelming to say the least. He'll hit the FA market and go to the highest bidder and it will be interesting to see how well he pans out.Agree 100% about Miller -- he isn't going anywhere. The Steelers will franchise him before they let him walk.

 

[Bayhawks]

You forgot Blount - I think he's better than Greene and Mendenhall which is funny because I was thinking the Cowboys or Jets would make the most sense for Blount. As you said Murray is somewhat fragile and he's been lackluster running the ball despite his good game yesterday against a dead Philly team. I suspect he goes back to his natural fit as a 3rd down back in 2013, making someone like Blount a perfect fit for 1st and 2nd downs. The Jets could keep Powell as the 3rd down back, although Blount has improved in pass protection and catching this year.

And as someone else mentioned, he's not technically a free agent, but StL will finally grant SJax his freedom.

I like the list, though.

Didn't StL already void his contract after this year? I thought I heard/read that a while back.

Agreed he's good and needs 15 carries. I wanna stash him now so I don't have to wait till next seasons rookie/free agent draft to take him. He has the power and speed ad just runs hard. Just needs out in NO cause they're backfield is crowded.

 

[rickyg]

I'm also on board with Blount. I think he gets signed as a feature back somewhere and excels. I was able to grab him off waivers for $1 in my dynasty league 5 or 6 weeks ago as a stash for next season based on free agency. This kid has plenty left in the tank.

Yep. He says he wants to resign but we'll see if thats true, or if STL even wants him back.

Jared Cook - Falcons - He wants to go to a team that will use the tight end in the right way, if Gonzo retires he will be the guy there.

The Falcons want a TE that can block. When are we going to give up on this Cook hype? The dude is a "mismatch" who can't block and isn't that great of a WR. He is basically the same guy as Finley, just not as dumb.

Greg Jennings - MiamiYou got the Joe Philbin/Green Bay connection, and the desperate need for Tannehill to have a go to guy.

I was about to post the same thing.

Question is, will someone pay big money for an injury prone almost 30 year old receiver?

Some of these are really out of left field, ARZ isn't going to spend on Deangelo when they have Ryan Williams and Beanie

Here are the stats for those 2 this year.Ryan Williams = 58 carries 164 yards for a nice 2.8ypc 7 catches 44 yards and 2 lost fumbles and 11 missed games this year plus 16 missed last year.Beanie Wells = 61 carries for 146 for another eye popping 2.4 ypc 1 catch for 24 yards and 2 touchdowns and at least 8 missed games this season. Add that up and you get 119 carries for 310 yards 2 touchdowns, 8 catches for 68 yards and 2 fumbles. So basically you can take 4 average games for any back in the league to get what they have done in 12 games. Don't blame the line either because Stephens-Howling had a few decent games for them.Edit: Add Howling stats92 carries for 313 yards 3.4 still horribel but a mile better than the 2 above. 4 touchdowns and 14 catches for 104 yards.

don't blame the line? so what about all the plays when they are hit 4 yards behind the LOS? Can we blame the QB situation at least? The talent is there, the just spent a 2nd rounder on Williams(Ryan) and they need to focus on the O-line rather than keep addressing the same thing that isnt the issue in the first place

Although I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Ponder just yet there has been some media discussion already on Alex Smith to the Vikings.

Another question is, does Greg Jennings want to finish his career with a bottomfeeder after spending his whole career with a contender? It's not like he's Laurent Robinson who has to take the best offer he gets. Jennings can pick a better team for what would appear to be less money when in fact it may not be. For instance, Robinson will never see that $35 million, probably only the guaranteed $14 million. Doubtful he is on the team past 2013. Jennings trains with Fitzgerald and is well aware of the QB disaster in ARI that makes Fitz useless. Tannehill while far better than the Ari. QBs, is still a big question mark. Many QB's have done ok in their 1st year only to totally suck the rest of their career.

You forgot Blount - I think he's better than Greene and Mendenhall which is funny because I was thinking the Cowboys or Jets would make the most sense for Blount. As you said Murray is somewhat fragile and he's been lackluster running the ball despite his good game yesterday against a dead Philly team. I suspect he goes back to his natural fit as a 3rd down back in 2013, making someone like Blount a perfect fit for 1st and 2nd downs. The Jets could keep Powell as the 3rd down back, although Blount has improved in pass protection and catching this year.And as someone else mentioned, he's not technically a free agent, but StL will finally grant SJax his freedom.I like the list, though.

Good call I did forgot Blount, which is sad since I have him handcuffed and stashed on a dynasty team.

Blount?Dudes a cancer, he is ok but will not have much value as he couldnt even start over a rookie, just sayin. A headcase.
