Alright, now that the superbowl is over, let's look ahead to the offseason. Who are the best free agents and where will they end up? Step right up and take your guess. Who will be the primary teams with interest in them and who will sign them?
QB
Drew Brees
Kurt Warner
Jon Kitna
Jeff Garcia
Josh McCown
RB
Edge James
Shaun Alexander
Ahman Green
Jamal Lewis
Chester Taylor
DeShaun Foster
WR
Antwaan Randle El
Reggie Wayne
Koren Robinson
Joe Jurivicious
David Givens
Antonio Bryant
**McCardell has been removed
Others not top tier, but will be a good back up. (have 'competing' chance at starting):
Sage Rosenfels, Jonathon Wells, Verron Haynes,Ron Dayne, Najeh Davenport

Here are my guesses before any news breaks. We will see how accurate I am. As time goes on I am sure I will repost more educated guesses.
QB
Very weak free agent class at QB. I think the draft will be deep at QB since most of these guys are not the future of any franchise.
Drew Brees - Jets, Dolphins, Raiders will be interested, end up signing with the Chargers again by transition tag.
Kurt Warner - Resigns with Cards. Not even sure if any other team will have interest.
Jon Kitna - May have chance to 'compete' at Dolphins, Jets, Oakland, but doubt he starts.
Jeff Garcia - Jets, Cards, Dolphins, Raiders. Ends up signing with Raiders.
Josh McCown- No chance of starting. Will sign as back up at Giants.
RB
Edge James - Seattle, Carolina, Baltimore all interested. Ends up signing with Seattle.
Shaun Alexander - every team is interested. Ends up signing with Green Bay or Carolina.
Ahman Green - teams are scared of him after injury. Atlanta signs him to incentive laden contract.
Jamal Lewis - Stays in Baltimore after losing out on Chester Taylor.
Chester Taylor - Many teams look at him as a bargain. Comes down to Baltimore and Indy. Signs with Indy.
DeShaun Foster - Panthers resign him to incentive contract.
WR
Antwaan Randle El - Steelers, Bears, and Redskins. Redskins win out.
Reggie Wayne - Chargers and Colts. Colts 'tag' him
Koren Robinson - Minnesota resigns him after interest from New Orleans and San Diego
Keenan McCardell - Chargers, San Fran, Dolphins. Ends up staying in San Diego
Joe Jurivicious - Steelers, Seahawks, Giants. Giants bring him back for another run.
David Givens - Redkins, Bears, Carolina. Bears win out on Givens after losing out on Randle El.
Antonio Bryant - New England, San Diego, Dolphins all interested. Goes to New England
Good luck to others in their guessing. So early in the off season it will be extremely interesting to watch. The wealth of RB free agents will be fun to watch.

Now, now, boyz!  Let's play nice! 
I must say... that page from that other fantasy web site was last updated on NOVEMBER 14, 2005! Yike!  Not what I'd call up-to-the-minute information.
In any event,  to "the Gridiron", Thorolf! I hope you enjoy the show and decide to become a part of it.

If you'd like to see your efforts there become a formal part of the site, give me the high-sign and let's get in touch and see what we can do. But, do NOT feel pressured, man. I know you've just arrived. I'm just throwin' it out there...

I appreciate the offer, Steg, but I actually already work with a fantasy site. 
You are welcome to use the FA list, though. It will change often as I see guys being re-signed. Actually, it changed a couple of times just yesterday.

Hmmmm... I don't know if I am following here... Do they have exclusive rights to you? You under contract with them? Do they not want to bring into the fold your quite impressive efforts here in following the free-agent statuses of players? It seems unbelievable that a web site cannot make some room for such great "pro bono" effort. Actually, getting those kinds of efforts made by the passionate little guys in our hobby some exposure is what the FantasyFootballer.com "grassroots project" is all about. I adopt an "incorporate" philosophy as opposed to a "corporate" one. That said, I am not going to formally incorporate your stuff here without some minimal coordination between us. I would need to know a) that and then b) how often you are going to maintain/update the page and, moreover, I'd want/need to be able to throw a FantasyFootballer.com logo on it. I'm not going to throw a "FEATURED" link up (that will be on EVERY page of "the Gridiron") to just "some random dude's" unendorsed stuff. Not that I overly value the attribute of "professionalism", but such a move can lead to an over-the-top unprofessional feel. Anyway, whatever... I just throw it out there... Some things stick; some don't... Surely, your link will remain on this thread. |
