Git r done.

whooooooooooooooo :omg:

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:

Freeman has really been breaking stuff early. We might hear some unofficial news about players today. Kolb to Arizona is probably a done deal.

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 credible

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).

Thanks, man. Pretty big story if true. Three teams on the selling block would be madness.

Would have to think there would be at least one surprise team on the list. Vikings and Jags seem like a forgone conclusion.

Schefter works for ESPN...

Going to hear a lot in the next week about players who were hurt and needed surgery the last few months.

The last 45 mins since I woke up here on the west coast have gone by in a flash. Going to be a short week :shifty:

I dunno. They both strike me as likely to relocate, but I'm not sure the owners particularly want to sell. I could actually see three surprise teams on that list, come to think of it.
