Finally! Real Football talk again! I can allow myself to follow football again!
-
of our own UFA, i dont know if there is anyone really worth mentioning than Tony McDaniel, MqQuistan and maybe even Procter, that would be it i guess,Quentin Moses as a darkhorse eventually, so we can basically just pay attention to the other FA from other teams
-
I could see them making a surprise attempt to keep Tony McDaniel here but otherwise I think the only guy they'd make an offer to stay for would be McQuistan. But then, maybe not. Who knows.
-
question is, what exact would be "afternoon", 3 p.m., 4 p.m. and so on

I'm trusting what Glazer says before Schefter. He broke the original story this morning. His timeline suggests everything starts tomorrow, all negotiations between players and teams, trades, etc. Things aren't official until Friday at 6pm ET.

not to pee on the Corn Flakes, but after what happened last Thursday, lets wait to see what happens before going nuts. The players could do what supposedly the league did to them last Thursday. Vote to agree a package that the league is not going to accept straight away and make the league look bad. Hate to say it, but after what has happend so far, need to temper the enthusiasm just a bit.

Mike Freeman of CBS is reporting that several deals are already "done" and agents had been informed which of their clients were to be cut, as of last night.
Hopefully we begin to hear some news sooner rather than later :hi5:

Not sure, apparently tied to this blog on the Forbes website:

retweeted by SI's Jim Trotter is how I heard about it. That's a big story if it comes to fruition.
Edit: His name is Michael Ozanian, and he's an executive editor for Forbes... fairly credibleVendigo likes this. -
The flood gates have opened, and there is no turning back.
-
I thought I read teams could negotiate with UDFAs today as well (in addition to one's own FAs).
-
schefter reported a done deal already yesterday though
-
true dat, since there was a discussion somewhere in here, who breaks the news first
-
on NFLN they just said that there will be no opt out clause in the new CBA, 10 years of Labor peace ahead......
-
i hope its DA BILLS
-
Re-working Paul Soliai's deal so we dont have to franchise him at 12.5M is a pretty big priority as well. If we can trim that number from 12.5 to even 8M thats more money we can use to get Sidney Rice and Ahmad Bradshaw here lol!
-
If the Bills move, the people in Western NY will have nothing to live for. A good amount of people show up to the games on Friday night and tailgate until game-time. Then, they will usually head back to the tailgate at halftime. :lol:
I actually enjoy the rivalry with the Bills. It wouldnt be the same without them.
