[STAN JONES]

Kruger had a bigger impact in the last five games of the season plus the playoffs than Avril has had in his entire career.

Yo @Regular_P . Why don't you change the title of this thread, and make this the official Free agency thread.

The NFL Tempering(edit: er' "Tampering") period starts at Midnight tonight. We should use this thread to drop all the fukkery that is going to go on leading up to Tuesday..

You will hear a number of free-agent names, read a number of lists ranking them, see the various experts dissect and pluck and analyze. There is one name above them all. One guy who could change everything for a Super Bowl contender in need of a game changer.

That name is Steven Jackson.

Jackson is the great free-agent sleeper. He has eight consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, ranking him with Hall of Fame names like Thurman Thomas. He has more yards as a Ram than Eric dikkerson or Marshall Faulk.

Jackson is 29 (turns 30 in July) and has just one or two more good years left. But he could be to some contender what Corey Dillon was to New England during its Super Bowl XXXIX run. Except he's better than Dillon.

Imagine Jackson replacing guard, er, running back Michael Turner in Atlanta. He would be a nice change of pace for that explosive passing offense.

New England has 87 running backs but none as good as Jackson.

Jackson would be a nice fit with the Falcons(If the money is right of course). Belichick was big on Jackson coming out the draft. And as we know Dimitroff was head of college scouting during that time.

That sounds about right. He was pathetic this year. A human pancake on running plays and gets one meaningless sack every couple games. If someone really gives him $10 mil/year, he'll be released in one or two years, tops.

Look at those defensive numbers though. FIVE of their fukking starters had negative ratings.

The situation with RFA Victor Cruz should be followed. He will likely get tendered at a 1. But apparently teams are interested..

Coach Tom Coughlin recently admitted to frustration at the New York Giants' inability to find common ground in contract talks with restricted-free-agent wide receiver Victor Cruz.

If the Giants truly are more focused on extending receiver Hakeem Nicks' contract, will that expose their flank for another team to take a run at Cruz?

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport hears there is already "a ton of interest" on Cruz, with "plenty of teams just waiting for their opening" once free agency kicks off

Cruz is sure to draw the first-round tender from the Giants. The question is if the traditionally slow restricted free-agent market will bear fruit for an impact slot receiver.

"There is enough interest in Cruz to make me think this could be the year someone bites on an RFA," Rapoport adds.

Now no doubt Raps source is Cruz's agent, doing what agents do(negotiate in the media). But still, you think anyone will give up a 1 for Cruz(along with a fat contract)?

 

[Mr swag]

that shyt is like the bottom ten

 

[G.O.A.T]

I don't think anyone would trade a first for Cruz. But the Rams aren't bringing Amendola back, they could trade that 22nd pick for him

I'm interested to see where Reggie lands. Lions, Chargers, Jets, Bengals, Colts would be some possible landing spots.
