I disagree, Flynn has very little tape as both a college QB and as an NFL QB for teams to accurately see his true value.

Because there is such a need this off season hes going to get the money. Still a massive gamble though.

Agree. He can't truly be appropriately graded but because of the "QB need" this year we will definitely see Flynn get a lot of money.

Rams and free-agent cornerback Cortland Finnegan reached agreement on a five-year deal worth about $50 million.

Hefty enough deal.

He was a starter in his senior year in college, a year where he led the Tigers to a national championship. While he hasn't much tape in the NFL, he has the experience of sitting behind and learning from a guy people rate as the top QB in the NFL today. When he got his opportunities he took them.

People like to compare him to Kolb but its an unfair comparison because this guy showed at college level that he could handle pressure which is a big plus on his resumee that is missing from Kolbs.

Reggie Wayne stays in Indy, thats something to make Colts fans happy after a rough few weeks on top of a rough 2011 season.

Very surprised with this, considering some of the cuts they made yesterday.

Syferus · 14-03-2012, 02:14

Strange, strange decision to keep Wayne over Clark and Garcon, I'd have imagined both of those would have been more highly prized on most team's charts.

If I was a Colts fan I'd be seriously wondering what the holy hell is going on in the front office this past week, there's almost no rhyme or reason to all these cuts and re-signings now.

Clark was on a serious bit of wedge afaik. And eh, Reggie Wayne is a far superior WR than Garcon. The only thing Garcon has over him is youth.

Garcon was the superior receiver last season and for all his drops he has the potential to make spectacular plays. Wayne looks like a player about to fall off the deep end performance wise. I'd guess the Colts wanted Garcon to stay but the money he was offered by the Redskins - which had to be more than Royal or Morgan got - priced them out of the market. Wayne was the sloppy seconds in this situation. I'd still have took Clark all day over him, too.

Carlos Rodgers re-signs with the 49ers, 4 year deal however Blake Costanzo may be in his way out.

Costanzo has signed with the bears, don't understand 49ers not offering him a contract to be honest.

also this from Schefter:

Raiders free agent WR Chaz Schilens is visiting 49ers, and Rams free agent WR Brandon Lloyd also is expected to visit San Francisco.

**adrian522** · 14-03-2012, 10:40

Meachem gone to the chargers, 4 year deal. Good pickup IMO.

Royal got $12million/2years
Garcon got $42million/5years
Morgan got $12.5million/2years

Crazy money for three average WRs - but that is the Redskins - champions of free agency (and Shanahan did it with the Broncos too and they have just clear the dead cap money four years later).

I see that Tampa Bay expect to wrap up the signing of Saints guard Carl Nicks soon. Looks like they're getting some nice deals done this offseason.

**adrian522** · 14-03-2012, 12:52

Yep, all they need now is for Josh Freeman to start playing like a QB again. running out of excuses with all these signings.

Stev_o · 14-03-2012, 12:53

This makes for some interesting draft day news. Will Blackmon be gone at 4 or will he slide? If he does slide does this rule out the Bucs picking him up and the Rams get him at 6.
