NFL Free Agency '10: At the 12 Hour Pole
by Rafael Vela on Mar 5, 2010 1:04 PM CST
Email
PrintThe latest:
-- 2:55 CT: Adam Schefter just tweeted the Cards are "close" to trading WR Anquan Boldin, with Baltimore the suspeced favorite. The Chiefs are also interested, a move that would unite Boldin with his old sideline sparring partner Todd Haley.
This comes not long after claims the Seahawks will sign Brandon Marshall to an offer sheet.
-- Julius Peppers' signing with the Bears is "imminent," according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The Bears have also signed RB Chester Taylor to a multi-year deal.
-- The big spenders thus far are in the NFC North. The Bears are giving OC Mike Martz a backfield toy and DC Rod Marinelli has a DE perfectly suited for his Tampa-2 scheme.
The Lions, meanwhile, have upgraded themselves. They signed former Titans DE Kyle Vanden bosch and traded with Cleveland for DT Corey Williams. They now expect to get one of the McCoy/Suh DT duo with the 2nd pick. They've created a readymade D-line for Jim Schwartz's pressure 4-3. With the CB class sliding a bit, I would not be surprised to see them grab one of this year's best atop the 2nd to help their awful secondary.
On the offensive side, they snagged WR Nate Burleson to ride shotgun to Calvin Johnson. Detroit still has a ways to go, but they just took a giant step towards respectability in the last 12 hours.
Look at the Divisional Tells
-- The Giants are going hard after a free safety. This could affect the Cowboys, who are also looking for a FS at the 27th spot. If New York loses out on Antrel Rolle, a guy like Earl Thomas becomes more appealing to them.
-- Philadelphia, to nobody's surprise, is looking for a pass rushing end. They made Peppers and offer and had a visit scheduled with Aaron Kampman. If they don't get one here, look for them to target DEs like Brandon Graham high in the draft.
If the Eagles get a vet on the edge? Add them to the Thomas sweepstakes. Macho Harris was a frequent target this year. Patrick Crayton tore him up at the end of the season.
-- The Redskins are going OT early. If they succeed, quarterback, receiver or even D-line all rise up on their top-5 wish list.
The Cowboys? They're happy to wait out the early wave of UFA signings, more commonly known as the "silly money" period. When the top 10-15 or so, the younger, marquee unrestricted guys settle, we should see teams move down to the RFAs. You may see the Cowboys enter this arena, probably in a week or so.
More updates as they become available.
Tonight, a look at centers. Tomorrow: Mock 3.0

The Lions should have a pretty good defensive line next year.
I think Burleson would be a great #2.

Raf, what would be better, the gints overpaying for rolle and giving dallas a better chance at a safety or
seeing if they take Thomas?
Ignore the Mainstream Media, EMBRACE THE HATE!!!!
Overpaying Rolle
Thomas is a prospect, not a given. He might be better than hyped. Rolle will never be much better than we have already seen. He wants big time money for average play. He couldn’t hang as a CB, he’s nothing special as a Safety. Didn’t the Gmen just draft a first round Safety?
Yes they did
KP was picked in the first in 2008.
Went on IR after week 2 last year and his status for the start of the season is unclear. Given the poor play of the other safeties it is no suppose the Giants targeted Rolle and may go safety in the first two rounds of the draft as well.

yeah i expect (and hope)
for the giants getting mad and overpaying Rolle his 8 million, and see them a year after knockin’ his heads
let Earl Thomas play for the team he likes, and not against
Big name FAs going fast.
After the dust settles there will still be some good 2ND tier FAs left at a good price IMO. Dallas might find someone that can help them next year as a starter, if not as at least as a backup.

Jerry can’t sign them all, but it does feel like he’s missing out. I’m interested in the WRs does Jerry acknowledge a mistake and burn a 2nd and 3rd for Marshall? Bolden could be had for that 2nd.
Next year, Marshall > every WR in this draft
I'm equally suprised and mortified that...
everyone totally is ignoring the fact that Marshall is a complete assclown.
Plus, I’ll take the bet that dez bryant ends up being as good as Marshall without the drama.

Marshall is a Stud/Jackass
Dude doesn’t know how to maintain composure at all…Everyone by now has heard the report about how he palmed the dudes face that shot and killed D Williams a couple years ago…That is sad, obviously the guy that show was already messed up in the head, but this is just another case of Marshall showing he does not know how to check his ego at the door…What good will numbers be when he is suspended due to insubordination every other game!?
I agree too
But very few WRs are dominant rookies. Marshall and Bolden put up numbers every year. Long term Bryant could be better than either, but I don’t expect 100 catches out of the gate.
marshall didn't put up dominant rookie numbers
he had 300 yards

i just hope we dont stick
To the vets like we have been, because we are reluctant to give the young guys chances.
Ie patrick crayton was starting ahead of miles.
Ie roy still on the field at the end of the year.
Ie anthony henry started in front of Jenkins.
Ie barber could hardly walk, but we continue to underutilize choice.
Ie we would have no clue how good free is unless columbo goes down.
Ie stand pat with ken hamlin.
That is clearly this biggest hole in our defense. If we think that him “lining up guys” is an asset we must have some pretty dumb players. These guys have been playing their whole lives, and are professionals. They don’t need a baby sitter. I don’t want to hear how much better the defense was with him when we had a 7th round 3rd year corner replacing him.
The guy hasn’t made a play since 2007(exaggerating). And he always acts like he is a chihuahua on the field, always tryin to start fights and stuff. The more I think about it the more I can’t stand that big meloned SOB!

Otogwe
To go along with his 19 career picks he also has 14 forced fumbles too…Not bad for a 5 year career. Would be nice to at least kick the tires on him and see, since it’s only a First Refusal, no compensation. If all goes well, sign for 2 year deal and still see about getting someone in 2nd or 3rd round to groom for future like Burnett.
He would be a great addition
I think you can’t have enough defensive backs.
By getting O.J., you can now use picks on a CB that has all the tools but needs a year or three to develop. This enables huge value IMO.
Ich bin ein Berliner--JFK
CB/S
Get OJ and draft a guy that can play both positions, maybe a little bit more athletic/serviceable Alan Ball type to groom
speaking of Alan Ball
I think he did a good job for us last year. with that pt under his belt, he could be a plus for us this year.

he was good but
he doesn’t come up with any more INTs than Ken Hamlin at this point

with tons of tools. I think it’s a matter of time.
I would feel great about things if Jerry cut Hamlin tomorrow.

true
he’s been a utility player in his career w/ the Cowboys, often the last safety and corner on the depth chart.
by AustonianAggie on Mar 5, 2010 3:43 PM CST up reply actions
I'm assuming he has injury problems that arne't public knowledge?
Because he was a good safety, and they didn’t try to keep him at all.

Seattle's New Offensive Coordinator...
… is Jeremy Bates.
Bates was Mike Shanahan’s OC two years ago in Denver when Cutler and Marshall racked up HUGE STATS.
Makes sense.
Is playing smart too much to ask?
Rolle?
After all the questions about Hamlin, why aren’t the boys going after Rolle? If he can play Corner & Safety I would imagine he’s a decent man coverage guy. I could be way off as well thogh

Rolle wants 8M per year. He ain’t worth it.

I was wondering what was holding the boys down on going after him, but that explains all. Thank you sir.

Who Will Sign Spears?
I am curious to see if Spears goes quickly. Any rumors about who might be courting him?
(Also, “i.e.” doesn’t mean “for example”. “i.e.” – id est- means “in other words.”.
“e.g.” exempli grati means “for example.”)
They would have to compensate Dallas.
He’s got a second round tender.
John McClain: Welcome to the party, pal!
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Mar 5, 2010 2:12 PM CST up reply actions
Actualy, it's now been confirmed as a first round compensation after we put a 1st and 3rd on Austin...some crazy
free agency rule…Spears is a win/win for us, we get a high draft pick for him if another team picks him up, or we get a solid DE on the cheap. The organization knows what it’s doing…
Boy people butcher that
Most people just use i.e. all the time and neglect e.g. entirely.
Does your name mean “for example tuna?”
No kidding. Why stick with what something means when you can make up something else and say it means that.
Wonder how many of those weenies are doctors.

But it's better than a typical grammar debate (e.g., "you made a typo you're stupid")
It’s a latin abbreviation usage debate. I see really smart people (mostly attorneys) use i.e. for e.g. all the time and it has always been a pet peeve.
I couldn’t even find the post I assume he was correcting but I had to chime in. But I agree, this discussion is dorky for a DALLAS COWBOYS blog.
Hey Raf
I think you meant Calvin Johnson — not Williams (see paragraph 4, line 1).
Thanks for this update, btw…
Is playing smart too much to ask?
Little busier than usual this time of year...
"The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart."
With a 2nd round tender Spears is being dangled like a carrot.
With so many teams going 3-4 it’s a foregone conclusion that someone will give a 2nd for a veteran DE. See you and your 8 career sacks in the next life, Marcus.
When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather -- not screaming like the passengers in his car.
Your conjecture, my conjecture.
Rather than debating a matter that can’t be resolved, we’ll just see when the smoke clears. You might be right, but I think someone will bite. If they don’t make an offer we have Spears for a reasonable price for a year.

Spears will get some interest, he’s a quality player.
to make the jump to the next level, Odrick said today he needs to work on one area. "Just being more violent overall,'' Odrick said. "Play the game and play it right, violently.''
No one is.
They’ll probably end up trading him, but not for a second. I could imagine a 3-4 team desperatley needing an end, maybe trading like 5th for him, but not a second.
I think that a Dolphins team could come up with a small package.

I wouldn't take a 5th for him.
When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather -- not screaming like the passengers in his car.
Me either, that would be giving him away,.
It’s amazing how so many people are down on Spears. He does a good job as a 3-4 DE…he stops the run well, holds his position, and allows the edge rushers to do their jobs. Many teams are converting to a 3-4…giving a 2nd rounder for a sure thing is often better than tempting fate in then draft. It’s not like he would cost an arm and leg and is high character…he’s a great value.
I'm not down on him...
maybe a 5th is too low but I don’t think there is a second round pick wating for him, maybe low 3rd or a 4th and player.
John McClain: Welcome to the party, pal!
by The Immortal Iron Fist AKA AFB on Mar 5, 2010 6:47 PM CST up reply actions
A 2nd would be a high price. I agree, but it will all come down to what teams are able to do in the draft.
Spears may suddenly become very valuable. The key here is that he is at least worth something, and that the way things are falling for the Cowboys (having some depth at DE), it may create some leverage to improve other areas on the team. Wost case scenario is that you got a solid DE at a relatively low price.
It could happen, the giants way overpaid for Canty last year
Lifetime Cowboys Fan from the Swamps of Jersey
If a team with a high second rounder takes Spears
I would hope Dallas would look at Odrick in the first round. We still have our second rounder for a Safety (Burnett will be there if Nate Allen isnt) and could use the high second rounder for the O Lineman such as Pouncey, Charles Brown, Duccasse, etc.

When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather -- not screaming like the passengers in his car.
Now there is some wishful thinking

Who?
Where do we go from here? I know Jerry said 10-11 new players, & everything I’ve read you can’t turn 7 picks into 10 players, much less 11. Therefore we must go after some in the market, I’m just wondering if there has been anything saying who those candidates could be?

That Cowboys would get a first if Spears is signed b/c of Miles Austin’s first and third tender. But they offer no explanation for why that is. I certainly have no idea but t makes me feel a little better. Spears has been solid.

that`s interesting
my understanding was when you tendered a player for same rd drafted tender you got compensation equal to the rd the player was drafted EXCEPT for 1rst rd where you would get a 2nd. Doubt anyone parts with a 1rst and even a 2nd might be wishful thinking.
One way for Dallas to get more Turnovers next year
is for Newman to be more aggressive. He’s been a very safe, steady non-gambling player his whole career.
If he took some more risks, strategically, he could jump routes and get more picks.
I don't think he's going to become an aggressive CB all of a sudden.
generally veterans don’t just become aggressive over night. He’s a good CB, but has never been a ball hawk.

Remember this?
2005 – Anthony Henry, Jason Ferguson and Marco Rivera, to start Free Agent period, with bonuses totaling $29 million
In five years, will Julius Peppers still be on the Bears roster? I guess all FAs tend to have short shelf lives compared to Drafted players who stick
Peppers is the top FA
I don’t recall Henry, Ferguson or Rivera being the top guy in the free agent class. Peppers plays 4-3 DE. He’s a perfect fit for the Bears.
By the way, 5 years is forever to an NFL player, especially one on his second or third contract. How many Cowboys were on the team 5 years ago?
I would like to thank the Eagles Organization
I would like to thank the Eagles organization for dropping Will Witherspoon. He was the only stability that you guys had on your line. Now you have the the patch work linebackers of the NFC. Hats off to a well run organization.

Well here's a blurb about Dallas
Antoine Bethea
A first-round tender makes it challenging for any restricted free agent draw interest from another NFL team, but that hasn’t been the case so far for Indianapolis Colts safety Antoine Bethea.
An NFL source has told Scout.com that three NFC East clubs—the New York Giants, Washington Redskins, and the Dallas Cowboys, have been showing interest in the highly reliable and durable defender despite the tender. And two teams in the AFC East—the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets—have been mulling over the possibility of signing the two-time Pro Bowl nominee to an offer sheet.
to make the jump to the next level, Odrick said today he needs to work on one area. "Just being more violent overall,'' Odrick said. "Play the game and play it right, violently.''
Sounds like a bidding war waiting to happen
Plus the Colts have 7 days to match any offers…
"The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart."
I really don't want to give up our first rounder for Antoine Bethea.
He’s good, but I don’t want to give up a first rounder for him. I don’t like that idea at all.
Ready for some baseball.
The Rams put a low tender on him I believe.
I saw on the ticker on NFL Network a little bit ago that they just have the right of first refusal without any draft pick compensation. So basically all we would have to do is outbid them and he’s ours.
Ready for some baseball.
money
a poison pill would go down smooth with Atogwe…
Guarantee he’s the highest paid player on the team and guarantee the full contract if he plays 4 games in the state of Missouri.
That would just open pandora’s box with Miles.
I don’t think we’ll see any poison pills this year because the owners have an ahem agreement not to. Why else would Jerry risk it with Miles?
Ich bin ein Berliner--JFK
That is not how Jerry does business
He has a lot of power in the league in part because he doesn’t go around pissing off other owners.
2009 BTB Fantasy Champ... Deal with it
you're right
Jerry has too much class to do that.
I’m just dreaming outloud.
Ich bin ein Berliner--JFK
I like Dansby.....
Overall we are good with Brooking and James (for this year). and we have POSSIBLY good linebackers to develop BUT with Dansby you have that big play abillity. He can one big answer in helping us get turnovers. He is in his prime, he started as a rookie, and in 5 seasons has 25 1/2 sacks, 10 INTERCEPYIONS, 12 FORCED FUMBLES, and 9 RECOVERED FUMBLES!!! That is awesome. This guy is perfect for us.
We have to give our draftees a shot
I think that one of them is going to be great.
Even in an uncapped year money matters and I think that money should go to OL, DL, and S. We don’t need to chase shiny things.
Ich bin ein Berliner--JFK
Jason Williams will be worked into the line up this season. Hopefully he’ll be starting next to Bradie in 2011.
to make the jump to the next level, Odrick said today he needs to work on one area. "Just being more violent overall,'' Odrick said. "Play the game and play it right, violently.''
I have high hopes for him
I watched a ton of his tape after we drafted him. He’s got that burst through the ballcarrier that I love. I know Wade’s scheme takes a while to get, but once he does watch out.
Hodge could be a player as well. I see him as a nickel LB with some actual coverage skills. Could be an important player for us this year.
Ich bin ein Berliner--JFK
Yeah but
He’s going to get a whopper of a contract, sounds like Miami will land him.
