****Official NFL Free Agency Thread****

[SoonerofAlabama]

Big week ahead for a lot of players. On average, teams will be signing 40+ players in about a week.

Cameron Kenney and a few Sooners might get their shots on an NFL team and a few Sooners have to sign with their teams. ( D. Murray, J. Nelson, Q. Carter, J. Beal)

I will just start with some NFL News I just received:

Ravens set to cut Derrick Mason, Willis McGahee, Kelly Gregg (Former Sooner), and have informed Todd Heap they will release him.

[oudavid1]

Come on Titans......!

[SoonerofAlabama]

Matt Hasselbeck will not return to Seahawks, Seahawks get Tarvaris Jackson from the Vikings.

[bigfatjerk]

Cam Kenney to the Chargers
Adrian Taylor to the Texans
Erik Mensik to the Cards
Mossis Madu to the Bucs

[Herr Scholz]

Matt Hasselbeck will not return to Seahawks, Seahawks get Tarvaris Jackson from the Vikings.

Heard a rumor Hasselbeck will go to Tennessee to play and mentor Jake Locker. Possibly Donovan McNabb to Minnesota. Miami going after VY and DeAngelo Williams.

[Herr Scholz]

Cowboys cutting Mark Columbo, Leonard Davis, Marion Barber and Roy Williams.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Charles Johnson sticking with the Panthers.

[Ruf/Nek7]

Cowboys cutting Mark Columbo, Leonard Davis, Marion Barber and Roy Williams.

Trimming the fat! I approve of every one of those being dropped.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Redskins resign Santana Moss. Probably won't go after Santonio Holmes now.

[Herr Scholz]

Redskins resign Santana Moss. Probably won't go after Santonio Holmes now.

Read that Holmes was the one Rex Ryan wanted to keep in NY. Bralon Edwards is gone. Maybe the Jets go after Randy Moss?

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Chase Beeler signs with the 49ers.

[Herr Scholz]

Orton on the way out of Denver (possibly to Seattle). Welcome to the Tebow Bronco era. Or maybe Brady Quinn beats him out there. Gross.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Orton on the way out of Denver (possibly to Seattle). Welcome to the Tebow Bronco era. Or maybe Brady Quinn beats him out there. Gross.

Tarvaris Jackson went to Seattle.

[bigfatjerk]

Tarvaris Jackson went to Seattle.

Have they actually seen him play? Because um that guy isn't going to be the starting QB for long.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Have they actually seen him play? Because um that guy isn't going to be the starting QB for long.

Hey, he did win a division title with the Vikes before Favre showed up.

[SoonerofAlabama]

49ers re-sign Alex Smith. All the QB stuff is happening first.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Cowboys and Bucs in a "dogfight" for Doug Free

[SoonerofAlabama]

Cowboys and Bucs in a "dogfight" for Doug Free

You mean this guy? No way. :D

[SoonerofAlabama]

Giants set to cut veterans Shaun O'Hara, Rich Seubert and Shawn Andrews.

Takeo Spikes going to the Chargers.

Rams sign Quintin Mikell.

And looks like Seattle is also getting Matt Leinart from the Texans.

[Herr Scholz]

And looks like Seattle is also getting Matt Leinart from the Texans.

Shocker.

[soonerinabilene]

Mcnabb to the vikes... Great fit imo if they can keep rice.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Matt Hasselbeck to Titans.

Santonio Holmes sticks with Jets.

[RedStripe]

Mcnabb to the vikes... Great fit imo if they can keep rice.

The Vikings traded for McNabb.

The Minnesota Vikings will send a sixth-round draft choice in 2012 and possibly a sixth-round draft choice in 2013 (depending upon performance incentives) to the Washington Redskins for QB Donovan McNabb. McNabb still has to agree to a reduced contract before a trade can be completed.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Santonio Holmes sticks with Jets.
For $50M...$24M Guaranteed!!! Vincent Jackson is gonna get PAID!!!!

Kellen Clemens leaves the Jets for the Redskins

David Baas, Center, leaves 49ers for Giants

Eric Weddle re-inks with the Chargers

[OULenexaman]

Hey, he did win a division title with the Vikes before Favre showed up. By doing what??.....making hand offs.

[SoonerofAlabama]

DeAngelo Williams gets a new contract with the Panthers. Tom Coughlin (Head Coach) gets a year extra with New York.

[bigfatjerk]

By doing what??.....making hand offs.

Just cause Seattle has a RB that made one AD like run, doesn't mean they have AD.

[SoonerofAlabama]

By doing what??.....making hand offs.

Pretty much. Didn't screw it up at least.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Robert Gallery leaves the Raiders for Seattle

[Sooner in Tampa]

Olindo Mare to the Panthers

Lance Moore re-inks with Aints

First Trade: Jabar Gaffney to the Skins for Jeremy Jarmon

[SoonerofAlabama]

Colts re-sign Vinatieri and Melvin Bullit.

[cccasooner2]

Surprised no mention of Potts to the Rams. Watch out Sam.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Josh Wilson - from the Ravens to the Redskins

Ray McDonald stays with the 49ers

Ryan Longwell re-inks with Vikings

Bruce Gradkowski goes from Da Raiders to the Bengals

Sydney Rice leaves the Vikings for the Seahags

It's Official...McNabb to the Vikings

[Herr Scholz]

VY to the Eagles as Vick's backup. Good move by Philly. They get Cromartie from Arizona plus a high draft pick for Kolb. Plus they don't have to change their offense when Vick gets hurt. I hope VY tortures Jerrah.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Saints trade Reggie Bush to the Dolphins.

[Curly Bill]

VY to the Eagles as Vick's backup. Good move by Philly. They get Cromartie from Arizona plus a high draft pick for Kolb. Plus they don't have to change their offense when Vick gets hurt. I hope VY tortures Jerrah.

I hope VY is swallowed up by a turf monster and is never heard from again.

[85sooners]

Vy is a queer bitch!

[pb4ou]

Dallas resigned Free
Kyle Orton rumored to be heading to Miami

[pb4ou]

Houston resigned Lineart

[AlbqSooner]

All that traffic to Seattle. Looks like Pete Carroll is still buying players.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Albert Haynesworth traded to the Patriots

Titans DE Jason Babin signs with the Eagles

[stoopified]

Surprised no mention of Potts to the Rams. Watch out Sam.That's funny stuff

[stoopified]

VY to the Eagles as Vick's backup. Good move by Philly. They get Cromartie from Arizona plus a high draft pick for Kolb. Plus they don't have to change their offense when Vick gets hurt. I hope VY tortures Jerrah.From the bench?

[ouleaf]

Rumors circulating at Valley Ranch that the Cowboys are interested in signing FA and Sooner Alum, Brodney Pool. Cowboys need help at safety, and Pool has played in both Rob and Rex Ryan's defenses the past two years. Could be a good fit and wouldn't cost the Cowboys a lot of money. Would have a great chance to start right away.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Kevin Kolb to Cards for Rodgers-Cromartie and 2nd round pick.

[ouleaf]

Also hearing another Sooner Alum, Remi Ayodele agreed to a 3 year deal with Vikings.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Brad Smith to Bills.

49ers release Nate Clements.

Tyron Smith signs with Cowboys.

Stephen Bowen leaves Cowboys for Redskins.

49ers sign Aldon Smith.

Daryn Colledge to Cardinals from packers.

A.J. Green signs with Bengals.

Steve Breastom goes from Cardinals to Chiefs.

Chris Johnson will holdout from training camp for new contract.

[sooneredaco]

I hope VY is swallowed up by a turf monster and is never heard from again.

[sooneredaco]

Colts re-sign Vinatieri and Melvin Bullit.

How old is Vinatieri? Seems like he should have retired a ling time ago

[SoonerofAlabama]

How old is Vinatieri? Seems like he should have retired a ling time ago

He is 38 years old. 39 in December. Kickers last a good long time in the NFL though.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Von Miller signed by Broncos

[SoonerofAlabama]

Jeremy Beal signs a four-year deal with Broncos. Quinton Carter has been signed as well I believe, and I know his new number will be #28.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Vince Young officially released from Titans, Jake Delhomme released by Browns.

[soonersponge]

Has TFRW been picked up yet?

[SoonerofAlabama]

Has TFRW been picked up yet?

No. Patriots are supposedly interested in him though.

[bigfatjerk]

TFRW wasn't officially released till earlier this afternoon.

[SoonerofAlabama]

It's official, Quinton Carter has been signed by the Broncos.

[fwsooner22]

Wow. Can you imagine if VY actually has to play and stinks it up in Philly. Those fans will eat him alive. He will cry on the field.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Ochocinco to the Pats from the Bengals. Can't believe the Bengals let him go.

[The Maestro]

Ochocinco to the Pats from the Bengals. Can't believe the Bengals let him go.

Hernandez wears 85 for the Pats. Let the battle begin!

[SoonerofAlabama]

Marcus Spears re-signed by Cowboys.

[Herr Scholz]

From the bench?

Vick tends to get dinged up the way he plays. VY will see the field. There sure is a lot of hate over here for VY btw. I personally love having Peterson on my fantasy squad even though he was a Sooner.

[Herr Scholz]

Has TFRW been picked up yet?

Heard he was talking to the Bears. He'll land somewhere. Salary cap casualty.

[stoopified]

Vick tends to get dinged up the way he plays. VY will see the field. There sure is a lot of hate over here for VY btw. I personally love having Peterson on my fantasy squad even though he was a Sooner.I don't hate VY.I do however think he is highly over-hyped.I fail to understand why anybody sees him as anything other than what he is; a very average NFL qb.As for Vick getting hurt,if he does the Eagles are screwed.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

There sure is a lot of hate over here for VY btw. I personally love having Peterson on my fantasy squad even though he was a Sooner.

I don't hate VY either. He's just not an NFL quarterback, plain and simple.

FWIW, I do love Kevin Durant!!! :D

[BoulderSooner79]

Vick tends to get dinged up the way he plays. VY will see the field. There sure is a lot of hate over here for VY btw. I personally love having Peterson on my fantasy squad even though he was a Sooner.

I'll always respect VY for what he did to USC. I don't wish him ill will in the NFL, I just don't care about the NFL that much.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Eagles sign Nnamdi Asomugha to 5-year, $60 million dollar contract.

[delhalew]

Vick tends to get dinged up the way he plays. VY will see the field. There sure is a lot of hate over here for VY btw. I personally love having Peterson on my fantasy squad even though he was a Sooner.

Put VY on your squad.

[delhalew]

Heard he was talking to the Bears. He'll land somewhere. Salary cap casualty.

Yeah. That's the only reason Jerrah kicked him to the curb.

[Soonerlife07]

Im a Giants fan but the eagles might be the team to beat in the NFC this year! Asomugha+Samuel+Rodgers Cromartie...thats a pretty sick secondary right there. Cant wait for week 3!!

[SoonerofAlabama]

Yes. :D

Mike Sims-Walker leaves Jaguars for Rams.

Oh and Vince Young goes to Eagles.

Both are 1-year deals.

[Herr Scholz]

I don't hate VY.I do however think he is highly over-hyped.I fail to understand why anybody sees him as anything other than what he is; a very average NFL qb.As for Vick getting hurt,if he does the Eagles are screwed.

2 pro bowls, ROY, playoffs, turned the Titans around twice, etc. I think he's done better than any of his critics will admit. I would also submit that he didn't have the WR talent around him in Tenn. than he will in Philly.

[Herr Scholz]

Put VY on your squad.

I'm going to as a handcuff to Vick.

[Herr Scholz]

Yeah. That's the only reason Jerrah kicked him to the curb.

He only had 500 yds per season the past two seasons in Dallas but he did get in the endzone 12 times. His yards were much better under Martz who he'll reconnect with in Chicago. I don't think he's done playing well just like VY.

[Salt City Sooner]

Ochocinco to the Pats from the Bengals. Can't believe the Bengals let him go.
Chad JOHNSON was a great receiver for Cincy. Chad OCHOCINCO, nowhere near as much. I loved watching him back in the early '00's, but now, I'm in no way sorry to see him go.


Oh, & Kelly Gregg's a Chief. 1 year deal.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Plaxico Burress is now a Jet.

idiot

The merits of Vince Young as an NFL quarterback may be up for debate. The fact that he is a complete moron is not. :)

[sooneredaco]

Remember this? Ooohhh how could we forget!

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/draft/2006-03-01-young-wonderlic_x.htm

[Salt City Sooner]

Clayton's saying Cincy's close to getting a deal done w/ Donte Whitner. As mad as I am over losing Joseph, if they get both Clements & DW, I'd begrudgingly have to give Brown credit for a nice recovery.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Plus I like how they plaster Vince Young's name all over the Eagle's additions and it is like really he is the LEAST important addition they made...

[SoonerofAlabama]

Randy Moss retired.

Osi Umenyiora soon to leave the Giants.

[stoopified]

Anybody heard anything(real or rumor) about Tommie Harris or Mark Clayton?

[jk the sooner fan]

Clayton wont get signed until his knee is healthy - not sure about Harris

[Mad Dog Madsen]

Tommie Harris is getting some interest from New England. He had a workout scheduled for yesterday. ...I'm a Colts fan btw, so please don't go there Tommie!!! :(

http://www.patsfans.com/blogs/derek/2011/08/01/patriots-bring-tommie-harris-in-for-a-visit/

[ouleaf]

Randy Moss retired.



For now he is anyways...if a contending team has any injuries at WR, expect for his phone to get a few calls and bring him in for a workout.

Smart move on his part I think. this way he doesn't have to worry about camp, and WR is a position where if he joins a team, it doesn't really take a long time to get acclamated.

[jk the sooner fan]

Wilkerson signed a one year deal with Seattle

[Salt City Sooner]

The Whitner thing fell through for Cincy; they did sign Manny Lawson though.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Eagles get another one. Ronnie Brown signs signs 1-year deal.

[Herr Scholz]

Eagles get another one. Ronnie Brown signs signs 1-year deal.

Wow, Miami is going to S.U.C.K. Their 2 RBs on the depth chart are now Lex Hilliard from Montana and Kory Sheets from Purdue. And Chad Henne was getting booed by his own fans who were chanting, "We want Orton!".

[SoonerofAlabama]

Wow, Miami is going to S.U.C.K. Their 2 RBs on the depth chart are now Lex Hilliard from Montana and Kory Sheets from Purdue. And Chad Henne was getting booed by his own fans who were chanting, "We want Orton!".

Brandon Marshall doesn't have anyone to throw him the ball, makes him worthless to them. Dolphins did get Jason Taylor back, but he is past his prime. Maybe four wins for the Dolphins this year.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Seahawks are doing a lot this off-season. Now they get Zach Miller from the Raiders.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

2 pro bowls, ROY, playoffs, turned the Titans around twice, etc. I think he's done better than any of his critics will admit. I would also submit that he didn't have the WR talent around him in Tenn. than he will in Philly.

what does not having WR talent matter when you throw the ball like a little bitch ;)

[Herr Scholz]

what does not having WR talent matter when you throw the ball like a little bitch ;)

Well played, Mauer. Well played. ;)

[SoonerofAlabama]

Titans agree to multi-year deal with Daniel Graham. Don't expect to see Bo Scaife in a Titans uniform this season.

EDIT: Bills very interested in Bo Scaife.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Tommie Harris leaves Bears for Colts.

[Ruf/Nek7]

Cowboys resign Sensabaugh so unfortunately no Brodney Pool:mad:

[Curly Bill]

Tommie Harris leaves Bears for Colts.

Good, I've never liked the Bears. Not that I'm a big Colts fan, but it doesn't bother me as much a Sooner playing for them. :D

[Salt City Sooner]

Wow, Miami is going to S.U.C.K. Their 2 RBs on the depth chart are now Lex Hilliard from Montana and Kory Sheets from Purdue. And Chad Henne was getting booed by his own fans who were chanting, "We want Orton!".
Reggie Bush? Not that he's any great shakes, but I figure he's got to be ahead of one of those other 2.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Brandon Caleb signed by the Eagles.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Rams sign Cadillac Williams to 1-year deal.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

Rams sign Cadillac Williams to 1-year deal.

Nice! I hope Cadi still has something left in the tank... I do like this signing though.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Nice! I hope Cadi still has something left in the tank... I do like this signing though.

And not only Cadillac was signed today, but also Jerious Norwood (From the Falcons) as well.

[Ruf/Nek7]

Reggie Bush? Not that he's any great shakes, but I figure he's got to be ahead of one of those other 2.

They also drafted Daniel Thomas out of K-state.

[Salt City Sooner]

They also drafted Daniel Thomas out of K-state.Yeah, I totally forgot about him, & I LIKE that kid a lot. I thought we dodged a major bullet by Snyder not using him any more than he did in our '09 meeting because he did very well that night in the times he did get the ball. Even completed a 40+ yd. pass out of the wildcat.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Chiefs agree to deal with Le'Ron McClain.

[stoopified]

I heard Mark Clayton signed with the Giants.

[SoonerofAlabama]

I heard Mark Clayton signed with the Giants.

It was Mike Clayton.

[swardboy]

I doubt the Rams let go of Clayton until they get a chance to see how well he comes back with the knee.

[SoonerNomad]

Brodney Pool is staying with the Jets.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/03/jets-keep-brodney-pool/

[badger]

Tommie Harris leaves Bears for Colts.

Here's more info: Linky (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/article.aspx?subjectid=223&articleid=20110804_223_B3_hNFLNO754949)

Good for him and for the other Sooner Bears getting the eff outta Chicago. Do you realize their streets around their Midway airport have the potholes come ABOVE the roadway? So annoying, it's like having potholes above the ground. Screw you Chicago.

That linky also includes info on MK's number switch (didn't sell, just gave it to Beck because he said it brought him injuries, lol) and AD expected to be returning to camp today after the birth of his son.

[SoonerofAlabama]

Damien Woody retires.

Kevin "Like A" Boss leaves Giants for Raiders.

Jaguars re-sign Marcedes Lewis.
