Baltimore Ravens Free Agents

There is word that the ravens plan to release some fairly big name players that could help allot of NFL team. Names like Heap, McGahee, and Mason. All three are guys who will have an impact elsewhere. Mason had a strong second half of the season, I guess the expect Anquan Boldin to step up. Mason I think will end up in either Cincinnati, or possibly New York with the Jets. Both good fits, McGahee is kind of tricky there are a few suitors but with his injury proneness It is hard to tell who will want to step up and pay him. Ive heard from a few sources that the Miami Dolphins could be a strong possibility.
Now Todd Heap is the most interesting of all these guys. The past few season fans have been waiting for him to break out and it just really never happend. But Ive predicted he would finally have a break out year this year, but it looks like it will be else where. With Heap there will be allot of interest across the league, but don't be surprised if he stays in the division!

Let Free Agency Begin

Finally the NFL lockout is over and the NFL season is set to open. No more labor stoppage talk, no more focusing on the Billions of dollars the NFL generates or how it is divided.
So now with Free Agency set to begin, and camps ready to open, signings and trades are going to begin to pop off in an astounding way. Players are already behind, so teams will won't to sign players as quickly as possibly in order to get players into camp. I believe first and foremost though teams must get the Rookie draft picks signed and into camp, there really going to struggle early.
So the next few days we will do our best to keep our readers updated as signings and trades happen and a few times a day we will be posting a run down on all the moves and rumors that we get through our contacts. So stay tuned, the next 5-7 days promise's to be some of the most exciting day's in NFL Preseason history.

NFL Free Agency Teams to Set Market Value

News that NFL owner's and players have agreed to a 3 day grace period at the start of Free Agency, for teams to have first go at there own players. What that means is with in the first 3 days of free agency the market value will be set. Will teams allow inflated contracts in order to resign guys?
Hopefully NFL owners have some sort of mutual agreement in place that they won't over pay guys. Now allot of players will test the free agency waters no doubt, but once a defensive lineman gets a $60 million dollar deal the chips are in place for the rest of them. Let's hope that GM's aren't spending money like it is last years free agent class.
This class will set a market price from here on out, atleast till then end of the new 10 year CBA agreement. So let's hope they start off right so there not in a hole year 1 of the new agreement.

NFL Lockout agreement


So what will happen after the new CBA is signed and the NFL proceeds with business? Well I will tell you, it will be one of the most exciting times the NFL has ever had. There is a good possibility that when an agreement is made there could be as many as 500 free agents, talk about a signing freenzy!! It will be complete and utter chaos for management, and great TV for us fans. The way it is now players at the 4 year mark become restricted free agents, well there is allot of talk about year 5&6 now too.
The entire power could swing in the NFL. There are a few teams who have had horrible 3-5 year runs that are on the brink that could become front runners, like Detroit, the Rams, Oakland, Cleveland, just too name a few. Some experts are saying in order for teams to try and resign there guys there maybe a 3 day grace period after the lockout ends were only a players team can talk too them.
All I know is that this would be better than March Madness, and sports center would be as busy as they ever have been I don't think Chris Mortenson can keep up.
