NFL Free Agent Acquisitions...YAYs or NAYs

Aside from the Favre retiring thread, I don't really see a lot about The National Football League of F-Chat...I guess I'm asking what you guys thought of the free agent acquisitions of this pre-season.

Here's where I have it...and I'm only going to do the winners...obviously Tommy Kelly and things of that nature are a little unbelievable. Whatever.

Winners: OAK - Javon Walker - 6 yr./55M w/16M guaranteed (He's Javon Walker)
- Gibril Wilson - 6 yr./39M w/about 16M guaranteed (I am bias on this, I really think Wilson is a great S)
- Drew Carter - 1 yr./2M (strong, 6'3" and decent-enough hands. can go over the middle, looked good in SD)
- Nnamdi Asomugha - Franchise year for at least 9.8M (one of the top 3 man to man CB's in the NFL)
- Justin Fargas - 3 yr./12M w/6M guaranteed (not LaMont Jordan, but is a starter)
- DeAngelo Hall - apparently the Falcons and Raiders are almost done with this one for a 2nd round pick (no numbers yet)

CLE - Derek Anderson - 3 yr./26M w/14.5M guaranteed (good looking QB, obviously great season last year...K2/Braylon/Jurevicius/Stallworth?)
Donte Stallworth - 7 yr./35M w/10M guaranteed (highest yac almost every year, from Philly to Foxborough...Cleveland could be good)
Corey Williams - 6 yr./38M w/16.3M guaranteed (a high-priced DT, played decent in GB)
Jamal Lewis also got a conditional 3 yr./12-13M w/5-6M guaranteed

JAC - Drayton Florence - 6 yr./36.1M w/12M guaranteed (good CB to help Mathis, solidifies the secondary w/Thompson & Sensabaugh)
Jerry Porter - 6 yr./30M w/10M guaranteed (smaller in comparison to Jones/Williams/Wilford, but is a vet)
Cleo Lemon - 3 yr./8.1M w/2.95M guaranteed/4M incentives (good 2nd string QB, similar to Garrard in QB-type)

MIA - Yeremiah Bell - 1 yr./1.4M (post-ACL injury, but in 2006, he started 11 of 16 games in which he played and recorded 65 tackles,
two sacks, two fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles)
Josh McCown - 2 yr./6.25M (decent back-up with experience starting...no starter, though)
Ernest Wilford - 4 yr./13M w/6M signing bonus (6'4"/220, can make NFL catches, no alligator arms, strong as a horse)
Reggie Torbor - 4-yr./14M (Liked him with Kiwanuka/Strahan and the gang...decent LB)

NO - Randall Gay - 4 yr./17.6M (small, but quick enough to handle the slot, very physical CB)
Devery Henderson - 1 yr./2M (quick AND fast, not ideal height-wise, but can catch anything when he's on)
Dan Morgan - 1 yr./1.48M (again, an Achilles-injury victim, but was alright for Carolina and will be good on the weak side for NO)
Jonathan Vilma - NO gives NYJ a 4th round pick...no numbers yet. (great LB, you know if you watch football)

NYJ - Jesse Chapman - 1 yr./?M (looked good last year, but I don't know if he's a reason not to draft McFadden)
Alan Faneca - 4 yr./32M w/ 23M guaranteed (big contract, great guard, hopefully Thomas Jones has a good season)
Bubba Franks - 1 yr./1.65M (good veteran TE, who can block as well as he can receive)
Calvin Pace - 6 yr./42M w/20-22M guaranteed (big money. DE/LB freak who plays the 3-4 well. 182 tackles/14 sacks in 67 games)
Damien Woody - 5 yr./25M w/11M guaranteed (former 1st rounder, ProBowl w/the Pats, a bit of a gamble)

SF - Isaac Bruce - 2 yr./6M (the only one left to play in L.A. All kidding aside, Bruce is still a great WR and has the two years left in him)
DeShaun Foster - 2 yr./1.8M (was overrated, now he's underrated and he'll get good yds. as a backup to Gore)
Bryant Johnson - 1 yr./?M (quick and fast, can one-hand if he needs to, should work well with Mike Martz)
Allen Rossum - 1 yr./870K (replaces Lewis as a KR/PR, takes 'em to the house)
Dontarrious Thomas - 2 yr./?M (decent LB with MIN, improves the position depth, and the Niner's are short-handed as of now)
Justin Smith - 6 yr./45M w/20M guaranteed (questionable...never got to be an every-down lineman in CIN)

TEN - Alge Crumpler - 2 yr./5M w/1M guaranteed (30 years old, one of the best TE's in the NFL)
Jevon Kearse - 2 yr./6M w/1.3M guaranteed (the freak...yes, i will give up Travis Laboy for Jevon Kearse)
Justin McCareins - 1 yr./1M (decent WR in NY. adds depth)


other notables imo were: ATL - Michael Turner - 6 yr./34.5M w/15M guaranteed (he's a starter anywhere but San Diego, I'm from around Dekalb so I'm
happy he got his deal)

PHI - Asante Samuel - 6 yr./57.14M w/20M guaranteed (one of the best CB's in the NFL. Lito Sheppard and Asante?!?)
CIN - Antwan Odom - 5 yr./29.5M w/11.5 guaranteed (great DT in TEN, Haynesworth will miss him, but oh well.)
MIN - Bernard Berrian - 6 yr./42M w/16M guaranteed (I'm a Bears fan, so I won't say anything. Berrian is an excellent
receiver, but to be the 4th highest-paid WR in the league? Sorry.)



my team resigned Briggs, got Brandon Lloyd from Washington and got Marty Booker ... again.
they let Moose and Berrian go, who cares about Ayanbadejo.

so anyways, this is what happens when you get board.

 

I don't think they'll be looking to do anything for Carr except have him be a number two...and that's one hell of a lot better than their current backup, Jared Lorenzen. Please tell me someone has seen this beast: 6'4"/285+ lbs. Sloppy.

 

Tommy Kelly, Gibril Wilson, and DeAngelo Hall...

but the Faneca deal and the Woody deal are decent checks

 

last year they were a titans loss away from being the wildcard...

as I said in the original thread post, their offense combined with Stallworth is going to be formidable.

 

both aren't even 2nd stringer's at this point in time...

give sage a few seasons and he might show something...not right now, though.

 

I actually like Jackson, he just needs to grow up. I couldn't tell you how many times I saw him throwing off of his back foot and things of that nature during the course of his starts.

he plays too much like steamin' willie beaman for me to like him.
