The NFL Free Agency thread

[tahoe]

I don't think the Rams actually want to win...

Even if things are not going the way everyone expected. I always love this day in football. It is one of the more entertaining parts of the offseason. Its more fun than the combine by a mile.

I sure hope so at this point. I would HATE to see us make a foolish trade up for one of this year's QB options. We already have a developmental guy in Mannion.

Texans expected to sign Lamar Miller.

Whats a first round tender cost? $3-4 million probably? Honestly Keenum is worth being here as a backup at worse and that's not a bad price for a decent backup QB which Keenum is. I think the Rams saw the vultures circling with the Broncos losing Brock so just did it to be safe. I don't think this would change their plans in the draft if they have one regarding QB.

I heard the Texans signed Osweiller...

So, what does this say about the way they view Mannion? A QB who was supposedly NFL ready coming out of college? Not much.

Or they saw an opportunity to CASH in big time on Keenum.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent Robert Griffin III is on the Broncos' radar, and "could be visiting Denver."

With Brock Osweiler bolting for Houston, the Broncos are suddenly in desperate need of a quarterback. RGIII and Ryan Fitzpatrick are the top names left on the open market, though Brian Hoyer could be earning his walking papers from the Texans. Going from Peyton Manning to RGIII would be about as big of a system change as possible. RGIII would be asked to caretake for a run and play action heavy offense.

Not too pleased with the way the Rams have handled Free Agency so far. I like letting Jenkins go for that price. Unsure on McLeod. He seemed to be getting better every year and might well have proved worth it in the end. Cunningham and Keenum not being dealt with appropriately. Don't seem to even be kickign any tires to see if we can grab guys on reasonable deals. Get it together, Snisher!

By the way, I just looked it up and the first round tender amount this year is $3.635M. I'll take that for a backup QB and a little peace of mind. Not like we're spending our money on anything else atm.

Let's trade Foles to Denver.

Anyway we target Weddle? Getting him would really help soften the blow of losing Rodney and JackRabbit

I don't think you can read too much into that. No matter their view on Mannion we need more than one QB. Perhaps it means they believe Mannion can compete for the starting job and Keenum is (relatively) cheap insurance. No way to make more than a WAG at this point.

Lol get fucked Denver

Just goes to show you how the QB position is premium. It also shows that we want to keep Keenum.

Keenum wasnt that bad
I like the guy's grit and he can play
Instead of this being an indictment on Mannion I think it's more about Nick Folds

Wouldn't this create a demand for Nick Folds? Keenum is the bridge QB and that hand has been shown

The fact the Super Bowl champs are interested in Keenum means he can play - which again is a good sign
