NFL Free Agency/Off-Season

[Donoghus]

Safeties coming off the market:

Landry to Colts for 4 years $24M ($14M guaranteed)
Goldson to Bucs for 5 years $41M ($22M guaranteed)

Goldson's a guy I like a lot. Should help that Bucs D.

Ugh, really feel like my Vikes took a step back. I believe they did the right thing by trading Harvin, but losing that talent hurts.

Yep, I like him too.

I'm really hoping the Pats will spend most of the remaining money they have on D.

I like the Harvin trade for your boys too. 

Got one heckuva return on a guy who is one heckuva headache.     

Especially if the Vikes end up with Jennings too.

....aaaaand Matt Cassell is now a FA.

....aaaaand Matt Cassell is now a FA.

I'd be shocked if he lands another starting job although I'd love for him to go to Buffalo and start.

He'll be backing someone up in '13.

Yup, looks like that someone is Ponder in Minnesota.

Patriots just signed RB/KR Leon Washington. Nice way to fill a need, speculation that this means Woodhead is gone.

I actually think it's more likely that Bolden is gone.

Well, with Welker gone, and Edelman not (yet) resigned, they definitely needed someone to return kicks.

I agree, KR was a need. KR results last season were pretty pathetic.

It was a need even  if Welker was back.

I hated seeing Welker and Mccourty back there fielding kicks/ punts.

Still don't understand why Pats haven't tried Vereen in the role.

Agreed, our kickoff returns last year were pathetic. We started off at the 20 yard line every time it seemed. Nice signing and definitely fills a need. Not done yet tho.........

No, not by a long shot.
D is a bigger need than O or special teams.

I'm looking for: Talib plus another starting quality CB (which would make Dennard #3), then some quality DL. The latter might come through the draft, which is fine. Then I'd like to see Woodhead and Edelman back, and probably Vollmer, on a reasonable deal. Otherwise I could see O Line addressed through the draft.
