Zealots RFA/UFAs (1 Viewer)

[mlbnfl]

Hey Tick,

Dont really have a question, just thought Id show my list and hear any opinion youd like to give on it.

As of now, ive got it like this:

RFA

1. Onterrio Smith RB FA

2. Charles Rogers WR FA

3. Chris Baker TE NYJ

4. Demorrio Williams LB ATL

5. Lito Sheppard CB PHI

6. Ko Simpson S BUF

7. Stuart Schweigert S OAK

UFA

1. Drew Henson QB FA

2. Kris Wilson TE KCC

3. Courtney Anderson TE OAK

4. Lawrence Tynes PK KCC

5. Dewayne White DE TBB

6. Daniel Bullocks S DET

QB - Vick, Eli, Kitna, Brooks, Henson

RB - Reggie Bush, Ronnie Brown, Kevin Jones, Willis, THenry, Chris Brown, Onterrio

WR - Steve Smith, Reggie Wayne, Roy Williams, Braylon, Mike Williams, Mike Jenkins, Sinorice Moss, Charles Rogers

TE - McMichael, Heath Miller, Chris Baker, Courtney Anderson, Kris Wilson

K - Kaeding, Tynes

DL - Robert Mathis, Will Smith, Trent Cole, Mark Anderson, Mathias Kiwanuka, Jevon Kearse, Dewayne White

LB - Briggs, Ware, Witherspoon, Al Wilson, Chris Draft, Michael Boley, DQwell Jackson, Manny Lawson, Demorrio Williams

DB - Adrian Wilson, Ken Hamlin, Sean Taylor, Deangelo Hall, Oshiomogho Atogwe, Antoine Bethea, Lito Sheppard, Daniel Bullocks, Stuart Schweigert, Ko Simpson

Considering taking Baker off as I am weak at TE and Pennington seemed to look at him a lot in their playoff game, but he was very inconsistent.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I don't know what it means to franchise a RFA.

Sorry. We can place a franchise tag on one of our RFAs that basically allows us to assign them a new contract without losing them to another team via free agency.

Sorry to do this, but...I'm only going to answer Zealots questions here. Maybe someone else will answer, or perhaps the Coach's Corner thread might be a good place for it.

For what it's worth, I think you made the right choices. Even if you are weak at TE, which is questionable, you can get one with at least upside for future in your rookie draft. Baker is enigma...when you start him NADA, when you bench him...TD.

Did it real quick, but this is more along what I would do. Granted I did quickly...some of the guys you had listed (lelie & R. White) are better prospects than the DE's you didn't have listed. Good luck!

I'd protect more of your offensive players and fewer of your IDPs and PKs.I'd protect :LemonCTaylor Lelie RWhite I'd stop protecting four from this list:FeeleyBironasCarneyJenkinsColemanReddingFoxSpikesHallI'd probably pick Feeley, Carney, Jenkins, and Hall to make FAs.

I'd swap Kearse and Dewayne White, but otherwise I like your picks. That's a good looking team, and quite young. I wonder if you could trade McMichael plus one of your young DEs for an upgrade at TE.

I'm thinking that I could afford to lose another LB and/or DB...your thoughts? Thanks!

 

[Slinger]

Hey Bossman, Ty Law isn't worth protecting. I'd have him as a UFA. I would also try to trade Matt Cassel to the Tom Brady owner.

Edit to add: I would also put Teddy B. as a RFA or UFA.

Thanks Slinger.Good point with Ty Law. I'd rather lose him than one of the rookies.Bruschi is a tough one. He's old but doesn't show signs of slowing down. I was leaning more towards Greenwood or Mitchell. As far as Cassle goes, I'm the Brady owner and I can't justify keeping him on my 40 man roster with Alex Smith and Grossman worth starting if Brady does go down.

I failed to consider that you might be the Brady owner. And I agree with you in that you shouldn't have Cassel on your 40-man roster, especially with those other QB's that you mentioned.Bruschi ranked 47th among LB's in Zealots if you look at the entire NFL season. Even if you don't count the 2005 season (he only played 9 games) his numbers have been on the decline: Link

If you think he'll be among your Top 4 LB's in 2007 I'd keep him. If not I'd have him as either my RFA or UFA.

Move Mungro to UFA and make one of your Safeties or J. Hanson a RFA. Safeties to consider as RFA is M. Brown (injury prone) or Harrision (old), which they might fetch z-bucks too. Of course, Ty Law is your other guy. Good luck!

[Tick]

sheesh, you would think a championship zealot team like that would get more respect around here...

I've got a champion team with a lot of dead weight as well... you have a polarized team, with great starters but mediocre depth IMO. It's not suprising - 12 team leagues with 53-man rosters means it's never all that likely for one team to be strong all the way through.As an example, my champion team has the following WRs:HoltBoldinDJacksonBurressFour great WRs. Behind them, I have:CaldwellMike WilliamsJason AvantYuck - Caldwell has come on this season, but that's crap for depth. I've been trying to get deeper there for three years now and just haven't managed it.

 

[Biabreakable]

Nothing I hate more than having to make cuts. I love hoarding and players I cut ushualy get some interest from other owners. I picked up some Zbucks off of RFAs last year. Thats not all bad. But I would prefer to keep the depth in most cases or trade depth in consolodation moves. But getting owners to trade for depth players is not ushualy a very easy sell. I am using 52 roster slots right now so 7RFA and 5UFA will need to be left unprotected.

I think these are my safest choices but if anyone thinks I should sub a free agent listed here for someone on my protected roster of 40 I welcome those suggestions. Switching out a RFA for a UFA is also somthing I am looking at. For example maybe I would get more of a bid on Spencer or Akers than I will for Fitzpatrick or Givens but I'm not sure about that.

I think I still need to drop 2 more players from my list. Not liking that at all. 1 would be a RFA the other a UFA.

TIA for any opinions. Like I said this is my most dreaded time of the year although I think previous years may have been worse than this go round. I will try to go through other peoples lists and give my

1st of all I don't think you should leave Sam Hurd, Marcell Shipp and Andre Carter unprotected. They should be RFA at minimum or part of your top 40. Miami has a new coach, we don't know what he will do yet and Hurd is a promising young player who could move up the depth chart. Shipp is a free agent and you never know.. he might sign with a team in need of a Rb and get a shot to play again. Andre Carter rebounded well especially late in the season with some high tackle games as well as 4 of his 6 sacks in the last 5 weeks. It might be a sign of things to come with him healthy in Washington now.I don't see any reason to protect these guys:

Ekuban, Ebenezer DEN DE

Jenkins, Cullen GBP DE

Williams, Jamar CHI LB

Fox, Keyaron KCC LB

I would make them UFA I doubt anyone tries to sign them. You have plenty of other Dlinemen still after cutting these 2. I dont think too much of Fox, Keyaron KCC LB I think he could be a UFA as well. Williams, Jamar CHI LB is not part of the Bears Lber rotation yet. He is a backup MLB. Honestly I dont know much about him but do you see him getting a shot to play if Briggs leaves?

Overall I think your protecting too many IDPs and leaving too many players on offense open to be bid on. I think when making tough choices like this its best to make your RFAs guys you think are most likely to be bid on and feel safer with UFAs that you can live without. I dont think any team needs to carry more than 4 Dlinemen during the offseason.

I also think your protecting too many defensive backs. I would probobly make Bethea, Antoine IND S a UFA or RFA and take Griffith, Justin ATL RB off the free agent list all together. Never know he might be the big Rb the new coach will use. That guy has a lot of talent imo. It is more important to protect RBs and WRs than IDPs who are easier to replace.

I think you have selected the right players to not protect as your kept 40 except that your keeping too many DBs. I think you should possibly keep Fisher or Stecker instead of Phillips or Minter or Kiel. All 3 of those defensive backs may be headed towards the bench never to return. I know those Rbs are not great options. But Rbs are harder to come by than Dbs. Just my general philosohpy in this format.As far as your RFA and UFA I think Moore should move to UFA. He won't be part of the Ravens starters or another teams if he lands another job imo. So you could move one of your Rbs up to the RFA list.I'm not as familiar with those Dbs as you are as they are not players I have rostered. I am suprised Minter is still playing at his age although in his prime he was a good safety. I will leave that up to you which Dbs you might consider not keeping or moving to the RFA list. Just throwing that out there for you to take into consideration.Shawn Barber may not be done yet. You could look at moving him to RFA in exchange for one of your currently listed RFAs instead.Man I hate having to do this. I always want to keep them all.

Yikes some tough choices. 1st of all I think you should find a way to protect Shweigert. Hard to decide who to drop for him I know. But I would keep him over Kearse or Bethea at least and probobly several other players in a pinch.I think you should try to trade some IDP depth for rookie picks or a player upgrade. I know it is hard to generate interest in borderline players for trades especialy when all owners are looking at needing to make cuts of thier own, but I think you should at least try. Moving a player even for a 4th or 5th round pick is better than nothing. You can try to package later picks and players to make somthing happen. For the most part I agree with who you are keeping. It just sucks that you have some many quality IDPs. I expect you will get some FA cash from some of those this year.I might bite the bullet and make Charles Rodgers a UFA in order to be able to match bids on Bullocks, Tynes or White as well. Rodgers is done.

Thanks!

I would keep Matt Cassel or Seneca Wallace over Marquand Manuel who I think could move to UFA. These 2 Qbs have some promise as insurance and might get a chance to start for another team down the road. I like Cassel's prospects as a NFL free agent more than Wallace's FWIW.Pretty minor suggestion. I agree with the majority of your choices otherwise.

Hey, Zealots guy here. Would love any help you guys could give me. I have a list of people I think should go on there but I have 17 guys (4 more than needed) and I'm not sure who to put on RFA or UFA. The players I can't decide between are bolded. Thanks for your help guys.

Yikes some tough choices. 1st of all I think you should find a way to protect Shweigert. Hard to decide who to drop for him I know. But I would keep him over Kearse or Bethea at least and probobly several other players in a pinch.I think you should try to trade some IDP depth for rookie picks or a player upgrade. I know it is hard to generate interest in borderline players for trades especialy when all owners are looking at needing to make cuts of thier own, but I think you should at least try. Moving a player even for a 4th or 5th round pick is better than nothing. You can try to package later picks and players to make somthing happen. For the most part I agree with who you are keeping. It just sucks that you have some many quality IDPs. I expect you will get some FA cash from some of those this year.I might bite the bullet and make Charles Rodgers a UFA in order to be able to match bids on Bullocks, Tynes or White as well. Rodgers is done.

Meh. He just added Antonio Gates. :( Good thing his team implodes in the playoffs every year.

I'd add one of these guys if you can't deal them for a late round pick.Bennett, Michael KCC RB 28.70 3 FA

Ward, Derrick NYG RB (I) 14.66 4 FA

 

[dapace2]

I wouldn't add either Bennett or Ward. They are both primary backups right now. The draft could change that.

While you don't have many DL, I would put Kelsay to FA. He is a big platoon player which will only get worse next year with hargrove on board.

In a pinch, you could put Bullocks as RFA. He's a FS and will have fewer tackle opportunites when Harper comes back to play SS.

I'd also put Volek as RFA, not UFA. Akin can move down. He'll never be a starter for your team.

Nothing I hate more than having to make cuts. I love hoarding and players I cut ushualy get some interest from other owners. I picked up some Zbucks off of RFAs last year. Thats not all bad. But I would prefer to keep the depth in most cases or trade depth in consolodation moves. But getting owners to trade for depth players is not ushualy a very easy sell.

I would like to keep Pinner and Thompson as I believe in retaining hancuff Rbs. Thompson is a RB3 on his team but they will have new coaching so there may be a change in rotation there. Still I agree may have to bite the bullet and leave Thompson exposed.I recently traded Leonard Little for 2007 rookie pick 3.08 that has free'd up one roster slot for me now that I am down to 51 players. I may have let Little go too cheaply. However he is 33 years old now and I am hoping Mario Williams will improve in his second year. Improve enough for me to use him in my Dline rotation.

Because of the trade I now only have to designate one more RFA. I am still looking at moving my RFA and UFAs around.

Nate Washinton will likely be WR3 behind Holmes and Ward. But I want to see what Tomlin does 1st before I expose him. He might be able to beat Holmes out?

Im keeping Gost over Akers and Rayner because he is young and because NE is a good place for a kicker. BB gained more confidence in him as the year wore on. I know Akers is one of the best kickers in the league but for FF he has not been a high scorer for a couple years now and I am not sure if he will return to top 10 kickers again. Rayner without Favre I'm not liking either.

Fujita is the only 3 down Lber the Saints have. He played pretty well. He looks like the best Saint Lber to have moving forward until they find another Lber who can compete with him.

So I will probobly add Thompson to my RFA list and move Akers to RFA in exchange for Fitzpatrick as a UFA is the direction I am leaning.

 

[Cannon Fodder]

Hey, Zealots guy here. Would love any help you guys could give me. I have a list of people I think should go on there but I have 17 guys (4 more than needed) and I'm not sure who to put on RFA or UFA. The players I can't decide between are bolded. Thanks for your help guys.

First off, you should be down to 53 now, not 57 - boo for your commish on that one.Campbell, Jason WAS QB

I like your choices. I think I'd protect Scaife over Lemon/Morris/LJohnson, but otherwise I agree with you.

Hey, sorry. I think you misunderstood. I am at 53 but I had 4 extra people on my list that are bolded signifying who I was cosidering putting up for FA's. There are 17 bolded instead of the necassary 13. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for the help.

I would be reluctant to RFA sammy morris. He is the primary backup to brown and started a few games this season and was relatively productive.

Looks good to me. If you want to keep someone from your list, I'd let Gostkowski go to RFA. Wright is probably the guy I'd keep in his place if it were me - Droughns was uninspiring this season and Wright looked okay when given a few shots.

I'd protect Holly, Fason, Pope, Klopfenstein, and Elam. I wouldn't protect Hall, RMarshall, RMartin, SWilliams, or Osgood. I might protect Anderson or Herron over TPerry or BSmith.

Thank you - would guess you mean Rasheed Marshall -

Now which on RFA and which on UFA? Sorry - haven't been in a league like this before - and what can I expect in the bidding - is it best to use up the money - or is it needed later in the season, etc. thanks again - chuck

I counted 52 total players so those would be the RFA/UFA to designate that I edited in your post.Spend your free agent cash as needed to pursue players you think can help your depth. Saving money does not help you. Money gets replaced during the season. Owners who are stingy with thier cash do not improve thier teams in free agency.

 

[Tick]

Spend your free agent cash as needed to pursue players you think can help your depth. Saving money does not help you. Money gets replaced during the season. Owners who are stingy with thier cash do not improve thier teams in free agency.

For RFA/UFA, I always advocate putting your worst players on UFA. If you're not sure, choose the defensive guy for UFA.

I think that I would put Gado on the list before Keiaho. With lack of depth at LB and with all the competition in Houston at RB - not sure Gado is worth hanging on to. My 2 cents

Should Pool, Bell, Harper, or Gaither go on the list in place of Wilson or Johnson? Should Herron go on instead of Wright?

I'd be tempted to put Herron on instead of Wright. Wright might get the chance in Cleveland if they move Droughns back to a fullback position and Herron has to play yet behind Green and Morency. Also not sure who I would move to do it but would try and keep Wilson and Cooper. I think you're ok without Johnson.
