Eagles, Jets, Jags, Texans, and Patriots want to win....hence, they are spending money.Bengals, Buccs, and Lions want a top draft pick...AGAIN. They dont want people to think they suck so bad, try to make the big FA moves that can help you....THE DRAFT NEVER EVER HELPS YOU WIN NOW!The fact that these teams did not do a single thing, not one single thing, to help their teams in free agency shows how they are as a franchise.FACT: If good players dont want to come to your team, you need to overpay to get them, because they will never choose a crap team over a good team.

:shrug: I said the exact same thing about the Packers before last year. Winning free agency has nothing to do with winning games.

What about the good franchises like the Packers and Steelers that typically ignore free agency and build through the draft?

Or teams like the Redskins or Cowboys whom are regular spenders in FA and have a combined 4 playoff wins in 15 years to show for it.

I didnt say what the result would be, I said it shows how bad a team wants to win. If you guys want to critisize what I say, at least read what I say. lol
 
Bob Glauber

RT @EdBouchette: jets expected to make big pitch for Plaxico. He's unlikely to re-sign w/giants sources say so it's Jets vs #steelers again

 
Peyton Manning - QB - Colts

Colts signed QB Peyton Manning to a five-year, $90 million contract extension.

It's not yet known how much guaranteed money Manning is getting, but the deal's average annual value matches that of the four-year extension Tom Brady signed last September. Manning was set to play this season under the franchise tag, but the Colts and owner Jim Isray made it known all along that locking up the greatest player in franchise history to a new long-term deal was their top priority. Manning is coming off his second neck operation in as many years, but has never missed a game during his 13-year career, and is a reasonably good bet to play out the life of the deal, which will end when he's 40.

Can we get an abbreviated list of fantasy relevant free agents who have yet to sign?

Examples:

Ahmad Bradshaw

Marion Barber

Braylon Edwards

Malcolm Floyd

OP posted a fairly complete list of FAs. That post needs to be updated, but when up to date, it lists the players who have signed and those who havent'? Not hard to pick out the relevent ones depending on your league size and rules?

You can put the miners in that group. They are my vote for worst FA signing period so far.

Jim Nantz just congratulated Peyton and the Colts for reaching agreement on a new deal. He did this during the CBS golf broadcast.

One year deal for Ruud. Lmao. Not a good player.
Click to expand...
That's so cold! After 6 years of tackling 8 yards past the LOS! Give the playa his due. So, do you think Mason Foster is going to be able to hold down Ruud's old job? Potentially 4 rooks/2nd year guys on the line.

Maybe you should re-read what you put up because I see nothing about wanting to win, and what team out there doesn't want to win. That has to be one of the preposterous statements I've read on these boards outside of a LHUCKS post. Your implying that if a team isn't active in the first few days then they don't want to win. I do see the part where you say, "THE DRAFT NEVER EVER HELPS YOU WIN NOW"That notion is BS, because quite a few teams like the Packers win the SB now and build primarily through the draft. While others that build through FA can't buy a playoff win if they wanted to.
 
Adam Schefter reports Plaxico Burress will sign with the N.Y. Jets. Confirmed. 1-year deal for $3,017,000, fully guaranteed. Plax is a Jet.

I think Moss would play VERY inspired with Peyton Manning. Hope he lands there.

I agree that Moss would probably put up nice numbers with the Colts. Although I wonder if Peyton would be able to put up with his taking plays off. Seems like that would drive Peyton crazy & he wouldn't react well to it.

Because of who Peyton is (and I agree with everything you just said) I'm assuming Moss would actually give 100% for a change.

Time will time if Plax is ready to contribute right away, but when he is on his game he gives them essentially what Edwards did with less speed and better hands. If they can get Cromartie back i'll be satisfied with the offseason so far. Going into I was worried about taking a step back by losing Holmes, Cro, etc.. and having to replace them with lesser options. Asomugha mania clearly changed expectations but if at the end they keep the core intact I'll feel pretty good about the Jets going into the year. The division will be tough, but I still feel that it is all about Sanchez. If he continues to make strides in his 3rd year there is no limit to where this team can go. If he takes a step back or even just plays as poorly at times this season as he did at times last season then they will be lucky to make it back to where they were. The Jets need him to be as good for the majority of the regular season as he has been in the playoffs. If that happens they are as gooda as anyone.
