I fucking love Marshawn Lynch. Seahawks will have a winning season next year if they keep hold of him.

Any other big players that are FA's?

There's a good number so here's a list of the best of them at each position on the walterfootball.com site:

Top FA at Each Position

[lichtie23]

Arian Foster (Texans)
Matt Forte (Bears)
Ray Rice (Ravens)
Mario Manningham (Giants)
Peyton Hillis (Browns)
Matt Flynn (Packers)
Drew Brees (Saints)

I wouldn't mind the Giants dumping Jacobs and replacing him with another Power Back in Peyton Hillis

It's fair to say that Brees is going nowhere but Matt Flymn will be a starter next season. I was thinking Washington or Seattle as his landing spots

Looking at the O-Linemen who are upcoming Free Agents there isn't much out there.

Best are....

Carl Nicks (Saints)
Ben Grubbs (Ravens)
Jarred Gaither (Chargers)

The rest are average

[lichtie23]

Terrell Owens has signed for Indoor Football League team the Allen Wrangler's

[Whitswit]

When would we expect to see the schedule? I'm heading to the states at the end of September and hoping to see a game (or two if I get my timing right)

[lichtie23]

Think it usually comes out some time in May

EDIT: end of April Is when it's expected

I know nothing about O Line men and who is good/not good but we need some. Vincent Jackson would be perfect, big athletic receiver who can stretch the field. Failing that, Braylon Edwards is a much cheaper option that I would like to see back at the Jets.

On defense, obviously Mario Williams would be fantastic. Heard rumbles about Robert Mathis coming earlier in the season which would be a decent acquisition. Need a Safety as well because Jim Leonhard is made of glass.

[lichtie23]

Can't see Mario Williams not being a Texan next year.

Vincent Jackson is an interesting one as iv read rumours he wants out of San Diego. Dump Holmes and try for him could be a master stroke.

I also read those rumours about Mathis. Think it all depends on what the new coach in Indy wants.

Pagano is changing the D scheme to a 3-4. Wonder if he'll stand Freeney up but that D is getting old too just like Baltimore and Pittsburgh. He may want to revamp the whole D and bring in fresh faces who have actually played in that system.

[lichtie23]

Brandon Lloyd has announced he will play wherever Josh McDaniels is.

Looks like he wants to be a Patriot then

Charges dropped for Alabama CB Dre' Kirkpatrick marijuana possession.

I think Williams will test free agency, purely because the Texans are short of cap room.

Jackson and Bowe hopefully move on as they are great players in our division.

Most experts are saying that Mario will be let go by the Texans since the rookies that came in this year performed so well.
Personally i think they would be mad to let him go since he is such a good player. If the choice was between Foster and Williams, for cap reasons, I would go for Williams since Tate looked good enough to take over him.

We won't get Jackson or any other players that need a big salary anyway. We will be looking more at Braylon Edwards, Laurent Robinson and Robert Meachem, who would all be decent signings.

Well that sucks, the last time I was at Wembley I thought it looked quite good but i'll probably just stay in the centre before the game

If you are looking for a pub closer to Wembley, there is a pub called The Green Man which is about 10-15 minutes walk from the Stadium. Been there a couple of times prior to football matches and it's always been a good day.

[MTJ]

Yeah the Texans have Brooks Reed and Connor Barwin at OLB, and with Foster a free-agent too I'd imagine he'll get the franchise tag instead.

Can't see the likes of Carl Nicks or Dwayne Bowe being allowed to walk either.

Raiders and Steelers were expected to make massive cuts at this stage last season as well as a result of their cap situations, but neither did. Wonder if we'll both (more specifically my team) get round it again. I expect us to cut either Seymour or Kelly on the OL, and either Routt or Huff in the secondary. All of them make far too much money.

Love how the Buccaneers are always miles away from filling their cap. Why be so cheap when there's no reason to be?

There are also a number of pubs very near to Wembley Central tube station. Including a large Wetherspoons with a huge projector tv for the football

Gone.

Seymour or Kelly next.

I was listening to ESPN First Draft with Mel Kiper and Todd McShay. Kiper said if Barkley was to come out in this draft, he'd reckon RGIII would still be taken ahead of him.

I don't watch a lot of college football, but watch Stanford and USC games last year purely to watch Luck and Barkley. Mainly because they were the only good college players I knew about.

Is RGIII really that good? Or is this another 'Clausen as good as Bradford' moment for Kiper?

[discopants]

Apparently Belichick and 'Bama HC Nick Saban have been talking about 'Bama draft prospects at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am Championship.

4 players from 'Bama I would like to see on the Pats are: LB Courtney Upshaw, S Mark Barron, S Robert Lester and CB Dre' Kirkpatrick.
