Well the clock struck midnight on Thursday February 26th and the meat market; I mean 2009 NFL free agency period had begun. With hundreds of hot prospects out there who do you want, and can you afford them? They all come with a lot of risks and possible baggage. Why would they leave their current [...]

Silent Night, Pioli Night
Written by Adam Best | February 27, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)
Well, I stayed up and battled a cold for two hours to see if we’d hear even a peep about the Chiefs, and I didn’t hear a mouse fart. Well, besides this Brian Waters mess. Should have known that Scott Pioli’s first night of free agency would be a silent night. As long as we [...]

Troubled Waters: Chiefs Pro Bowl Guard Wants Out
Written by Adam Best | February 27, 2009 | Comments Off | Arrowhead Addict (Chiefs)
Great, free agency kicks off and the only Chiefs news is that our second best player wants a one-way ticket out of the Plaza of the Plains. Just wonderful.
This is what I think happened. I think Brian Waters tried to pull a little power play and test out the new management, and the new management [...]
Excuse Me, Are You A Thug?
Written by John White | February 27, 2009 | Comments Off | FanSided
The 40-yard dash. The agility tests. The weight lifting. The Wonderlic.
The NFL holds its scouting combine every year in Indianapolis. Each draft-eligible player is studied and prodded like cattle.
Add to that a Thug Test.
Achievement Metrics claims it can forecast whether college prospects are at greater risk for future off-field problems by dissecting their speech patterns [...]

Written by AZScott | February 26, 2009 | Comments Off | Raising Zona (Cardinals)
We are less than a hour until the NFL feeding frenzy officially can start. Your Arizona Cardinals have money available under the cap but need to take care of their own. Really, take care of their own.

Rex Grossman Would Like To Play For Dallas Cowboys, But He Prefers Detroit Lions
Written by thelandryhat | February 26, 2009 | Comments Off | The Landry Hat (Cowboys)
I found Rex Grossman’s comments hilarious at this site, discussing his future in the NFL. He basically says that he’d love to play in Detroit, but he also likes Dallas. However, he admits that he couldn’t compete for the starting job against Tony Romo.
Wow, Rex, you’ve got a lot of confidence in yourself. That’s humble [...]
Open Season
Written by DJ | February 26, 2009 | Comments Off | LombardiAve (Packers)
Free agency kicks off in a matter of hours, meaning that chaos is about to ensue. Will Albert Haynesworth get the largest contract in history? What about the Packers? What will they do?
Only time will tell. Hopefully I’ll be able to make some sense of this mess tomorrow.
Pay The Man
Written by AZScott | February 26, 2009 | Comments Off | Raising Zona (Cardinals)
Recession. Forget about it, just pay the man! As of 10pm this evening, Kurt Warner will officially be a free agent. The Arizona Cardinals don’t want to pay Warner the extra $4 million he is asking for. The Cardinals want to give him $10 million per year. Warner is believed to be asking for $14 [...]

Written by Dan Zinski | February 26, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
With the beginning of the free agency period just hours away, Chip Scoggins of the Star-Trib reports that the Vikings are taking a long, hard look at UFA wide receiver Nate Washington, who has become a hot commodity the last couple of days (despite the market being flooded with wide-outs). Washington caught 40 balls for [...]
Phins Spending Leaves Little
Written by Brian Miller | February 26, 2009 | Comments Off | Phin Phanatic (Dolphins)
The Miami Dolphins have spent money like they were Barack Obama handing out bailout allotments. 42 million to Vernon Carey, 20 million to Yeremiah Bell, 15 million to Channing Crowder, and of course 27.5 million to Gibril Wilson. Place all the guaranteed money and the first year amounts into the balance due column and what [...]

Who Has the Most Cap Space?
Written by Scott | February 26, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)
Free agency kicks off in a few short hours. NFL Network’s information guru Adam Schefter has released his latest cap numbers and the Eagles are in great shape. How great? Third best in the league with $48 million. Only the Bucs and Chiefs have more to spend.
The Panthers are listed as having the least with [...]
