Overflow Thread: Free Agency

Free agency starts at 11:00 PM CST.
Updates will be put into this post.
*Providence Journal - Fred Taylor will choose the Patriots over the Bills mostly due to Pats' success
After visiting both the Patriots and Bills over the past few days, it is believed that free agent running back Fred Taylor will sign with New England.
*Report: Ravens offer Ray Lewis $24 million over 3 years. It had been previously speculated that the Ravens were still in play for Bart Scott but an $8 million/year investment in Ray Lewis (if he chooses to sign) would place a price tag of over $20 million in just two linebackers.
*DeAngelo Hall re-signs with the Washington Redskins. Per Pro Football Talk, it's a 6 year, $54 million deal with $22.5 million guaranteed.
*Redskins contact Chris Canty says Sporting News. Canty has been discussed around here as a 3-4 defensive end option. However, if the Redskins are getting involved early I don't see the Chiefs ponying up that kind of money.
**Not free agency related but the Chiefs hired a new coach. On Monday. Per the Post-Journal:
Nick Sirianni has landed a job as the offensive quality control coach with the National Football League team. Sirianni, 27, interviewed with new Chiefs' head coach Todd Haley last Saturday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, was hired on Monday, is preparing to move to Missouri this weekend and will start his new job next week.
*Broncos grab a pair of tailbacks via FOX Sports:
The Broncos have acquired two up two of them by agreeing to multiyear contracts with Correll Buckhalter (Philadelphia) and J.J. Arrington (Arizona) at the midnight opening of the signing period, FOXSports.com has learned. The deals will become official when both pass physical exams.
ESPN's John Clayton reports that the deal between the Broncos and the two running backs is NOT done. Instead the Broncos will host both players today.
*FOX Sports reports Tony Richardson signs a 1 year deal with the Jets.
*John Clayton of ESPN says Haynesworth's cell phone "blew up" when free agency opened. So, despite certain reports otherwise, he appears to have plenty of suitors. Clayton says offers are coming in at $16 million per year and between $30-40 million guaranteed.
*John Clayton of ESPN repots that CB Ronald Bartell, one of the top free agent corners available, will visit with the Saints today.
*Panthers beat reporter from the Rock Hill Herald says he is "convinced" Julius Peppers will not be in Carolina uniform next season. The rumor goes that he'll be dealt sometime before the trade deadline.
*T.J. Houshmandzadeh says (via ESPN) he's be interested in playing for Philladelphia, New York, Seattle and Minnesota. The Bengals will reportedly make a hard attempt to sign him.
Houshmandzadeh expects to know who's in the running tonight.
*Tampa Tribune says the Bucs are "in the mix" for Houshmandzadeh as well.
*FOX Sports reports that Ravens C Jason Brown and LB Bart Scott will visit with the Rams. If true, then these players won't sign tonight. ESPN's John Clayton says Brown is seeking $8 million per year after turning down the Ravens $6 million per year proposal. Clayton also says Bart Scott will visit with the Jets on Friday.
*Jonathan Vilma has received an offer from the Saints that's being faxed over right now according to John Clayton. The St. Petersburg Times is reporting that the Bucs are trying to set up a visit with Vilma.
*Trade would have to "satisfy" Matt Cassel:
"Matt is in no big hurry to be traded," the source said, adding that the $14.65 million salary Cassel will receive as a result of being franchised by the Pats is more than enough to keep the QB satisfied. "If a situation works out for him that he feels secure, fine. If not, he'll stay with the Patriots. … The deal is going to have to satisfy three parties: the Patriots, the team that trades for him and Matt."
*The Houston Texans "covet" DE Antonio Smith (a 3-4 DE) according to the Houston Chronicle.
*The Broncos will be in touch with Michael Clayton's agent today according to the Denver Post.

Hey buddy,
No need for sexual-orientation slurs. I have no problem with, “first”, but I don’t think you really mean “That was gay!” so let’s refrain from saying things like this.
I was really hoping to land J.J.
Thought our AZ connections would be enough to bring him in.

If they keep the running system he is the perfect back for it. One cut and upfield.

12:44 a.m. — Rams raiding Ravens for free agents
The St. Louis Rams may be raiding the Baltimore Ravens for two key free agents.
Linebacker Bart Scott and center Jason Brown are set to visit with the Rams, FOXSports.com has learned.

You may be right
He is near the end of his career and watching all these other all pros get a huge pay day.

uh, what...
If the Waters story is true, we traded a gigantic GM ego for a vastly larger Head Coach ego. I pray it’s not accurate.
I'll give Haley and Pioli the benefit of the doubt on this one
First, you dont just hop a plane and fly into KC and ask for a face to face when these guys are doing everything they can to help the team with combine shit and free agency shit and coaching shit
Piss on Waters. Like someone said, he’s under contract and he needs to live up to it. THE GAME ISNT ALL ABOUT YOU BRIAN!!!!!
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
I tend to agree...
Pioli and Haley owed him nothing in the form of a meeting…
Who is Brian Waters that he would come into the facility and demand some kind of special treatment briefing…like he has to approve…that is lame
I'm sorry
I won’t. I don’t know Pioli and Haley, I KNOW that Waters is a standup guy.
That doesn’t mean I’m saying I’m giving up on them or anything, but this was a mistake…and if your probowl Guard gets on a plane to have an F’ing conversation, humor him…
Culture Change
I think you are going to hear a lot of whining from players because Haley is not Herm. He isn’t going to baby these players.

side note
Man Starbucks is going to get some business tomorrow because everyone is going to be walking around like zombies. I don’t want to go to bed because I want to hear the first news from KC. Although if I wait for that I might not sleep until September!
Maybe Pioli didn't have any definitive things to say to Waters.
Things haven’t been settled on yet. So what was the meeting going to be? “Hi, I’m Brian” then “Nice to meet you Brian I’m Scott”. Nothing more to say.
The timing of this bothers me now the more I think about it
Theres more to this I believe, and it may have been financial. You have been in the League for 9 years and don’t know the eve of free agency isn’t a mad dash for the front office?
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.
"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
He is near the end a sees all these other linemen getting big pay days
He knows we have room to throw some more his way. He may be a stand up guy, but he isn’t stupid
AFC West Champs in 2009? Mayyybee.
Enjoy that.

Usually, yeah
But HOW could they not have a live show tonight??
Well
I guess what Clark said about free agency and the Chiefs not starting fast was true. Hopefully it won’t be like last year and we pick up players that fit the system and plan.
I'd have been fine tonight not signing anyone, it was expected.
But I didn’t expect the Waters bombshell
That would be way to soon
We will not know for at least a week
I guess the best part
is that guys are just VISITING with teams…. We still could get guys to come in.

Haley
If word is getting around that Haley is a punk, it might be hard to get players here. He doesn’t have the track record that the Tuna has to get away with stuff like that.
Well...
I’m sure that people know that by now… After T.O. incidents, Boldin, and Warner stuff… I mean, it wasnt unknown. But it STILL is a turn off.

I guess this is what "being methodical" means.
Sure, is boring though.
You know what
I’m done with Waters. Only once in my career has a guy walked out on us in the middle of a fire. He never got a job in the Fire Sevice again. I’m sure Waters will find another gig, but don’t tell me he is a candidate for NFL man of the year.
If he wants to quit on his team, then let him. He isnt the entire team and with him gone, we will still field a team next year. We won 6 games with him the last two years? It can’t get any worse without him.
We need a future defensive leader, his name is James Laurinaitis and he can be selected in round 1 of the upcoming Draft.

Funny Thing
I actually would have expected him to do this last year with Herm and he didn’t. Now that there is more hope he pulls this!
See
Thats where being a “Players Coach” screws up players… They then walk all over coaches… I would NEVER in my wildest dreams walk into my supervisor’s office and demand to know what the hell he’s doing about our department.

Agree to an extent
Although I think the HC should talk with any player asking about the future of the organization.
But who knows what really went down. Maybe Waters called and said he wanted out before any confrontation with Haley. If that’s the case then, see ya.

"But what do I know, I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
I think
a mountain is being made out of molehill here. Give him a few days to cool off and I’m sure the team will talk to him. If not, he’s still under contract. He either plays, or gets traded. He will have good trade value, and then we will have the opening to add Eugene Monroe next to Brandon Albert and re-unite them.
Either way is ok with me. Waters stays, or Waters gets traded.

Hmm
Walking out on a fire…you mean the guy that answered EVERY f8cking question posed to him after all those losses last year?
The guy that was the voice of the team while we’ve been terrible? Sorry, I couldn’t disagree more, and thats what is so surprising about some of the reactions here, the guy couldn’t have been more standup the last couple years, and all that gets thrown out the window because he wanted to have meeting with his GM? Really?
Not me.
Tony G.
I am just hoping that this doesn’t lead to Tony stating that the new regime has no respect for veterans and that he wants out. There is a lot that we don’t know but Waters was the last guy I would have expected this from because he was a stand up guy all last year.
I don't see that happening...
I mean, getting rid of Waters. Haley didn’t have time to talk to him and was very blunt and honest.It seemed harsh but we only won 2 games last year. How else was anyone supposed to look at that? Waters has never had a coach talk like that before and he’s pouting now like a child. I still like Waters, he is an upstanding guy, but he needs to cry himself a river, build a bridge, and GET OVER IT!! This is football…not recess. If you can’t take critisism like that from your HC then you need to see a therapist about some unresolved emotional issues.
There's no hope with dope...
Exactly.... And I blame Herm and Dick
“Player’s Coaches” give the player the idea that they can do whatever the fuck hey want.

The more I think about it...
Lanier is right. He is trying to put himself ahead of the team. He is a pro bowl guard sure, but that doesn’t mean you start making demands because you got your feelings hurt. There has to be something that was said for Haley to say “22 players off the street could have won 2 games.” I really don’t think that is the first thing he said when they talked.
AFC West Champs in 2009? Mayyybee.
His 'demands'
Were wanting a conversation with his GM.
For sure
You just don’t go knock on one of the most important players on your team… This conversation must’ve been more confrontational than what it seems.

Aaron Curry or Eugene Monroe
If Waters works things out… GREAT! If not, we now have 2 choises for our #3 pick that aren’t an overrated Jr. QB that doesn’t even blther to thorw at the combine.

Jason Whitlock is just out to start shit...
and get K.C. in the national headlines on on ESPN and NFL network. We’ll probably hear later on that it’s completely false. Whitlock is an alright columnist but he’s not a reporter for a reason…he should stick to what he does best…open his big fat mouth and say shit that has no relevance.
There's no hope with dope...
I hope you're right
But I don’t see Whitlock sh8tting on his rep to make up a story like this.
His opinions are controversial, and I disagree with him more often than not, but I can’t remember him reporting, as news false info, ever.
As I mentioned before
This new regime is trying to change the culture of the team so there are going to be a few casualties along the way. However I am sure that Pioli is not stupid to let Waters walk away over a little dispute. All it takes is a little pat on the back and things are back to normal.
Reminds me of Jason Taylor
Isn’t this the same thing that happened with Taylor and Parcells? Do we remenber how that ended up?
Yeah

Out!
Night fellas. It was fun. Hopefully when I check this tomorrow morning (am on west coast) the plane that had Bart Scott and Jason Brown was reported to run out of fuel and make an emergency landing in KC where Pioli happened to be.
Since I'm 1 vs. 20
And I can’t keep up, I’m giving up for tonight.
I’ll leave by saying I feel like at this point I feel like Waters should have earned some trust over the years, and I’m giving HIM the benefit of the doubt, not the secretive guy we’ve known (and really don’t know) for 2 months.
Again, still love the Pioli hiring, but think this was a mistake. Its OK to think both things, gents.

That would be big for them to do so it doesn’t shy away the players that they want and/or need.
