DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum *Official* First-Round Signings Thread...

I put something like this up last year and it seemed to work out well. Now remember, this is just to post the articles about the guys signing and to update the list. I'd say let's keep discussion to a minimum. Browns signings will probably get their own separate posts.

Since I don't know how to post so that there are tabs and spaces, I'd say let's put the teams with signings in bold and italics so they can be easily seen. And make sure before you add someone, you post the article snippet with the link talking about the contract length, etc.

This thread sure is tearing up the boards...

it's like DE JAVU? someone made this exact same thread....and this is almost exactly the same kind of replies it got..
was the last one deleted?

*cricket sound*

We need that tumbleweed smiley again.

This threads a real great one. It should be saved by refs to view for years to come.

Because I love you guys I'll give you my prediction for last picks to sign...

19 Tennessee: Griffin, Michael FS - Drafted as a S, but the team immediately moved him to CB. CB's make way more scratch

15 Pittsburgh: Timmons, Lawrence OLB - Rosenhaus guy

8 Atlanta (from Houston): Anderson, Jamaal DE - The number 8 pick last year was Whitner, and if I remember he got a huge contract

4 Tampa Bay: Adams, Gaines DE - It's a screwed up slot because of Philip Rivers, Ced Benson

No, the refs deleted all the comments that had nothing to do with first round signings. Nothing's happening now, but it'll be a nice thread to have when the signings start pouring in...which may not be for a while!

I am predicting a signing or two to go down today.

The refs deleted all the nonsense posts and will most likely do so again soon, or at least when the contracts start getting signed.

I saw on ESPN that the Browns Phil Savage doesn't expect Wright/Thomas/Quinn to be in camp on time.

I don't have a link obviously but I wonder if anyone else saw it.

And I don't believe Savage said that about them being in camp on time. He just said he doesn't believe they'll be in rookie orientation on time. I'd rather they didn't miss anything, but if they're going to miss something, I'd rather it be that.

I dont want them to miss anything at all.. but its Friday, and the business day is close to being over...

lets hope someone is working the 3rd shift.. lol

Man, I sure liked it a lot better with Kamerion last year.

I saw something somewhere that Purcell expects to sign soon.

no wright though? no thomas? quinn i could care less.. lol

Quick Reply

Personally I wish the NFL would fine holdouts 100K for every day past the start of TC
and agents getting fined 500K

or

The NFL comes up with a rookie contract that can be adjusted the 2nd yr
If they try holding out past the start of TC [2nd yr] then the rookie contract
remains in effect.

I HATE HOLDOUTS. It hurts the sport and the teams.

In an open market like the NFL, you can't penalize guy for not agreeing to terms. Plus the NFLPA would walk out before they let the league do that to them.

yea.. and some guys might not make enough to cover that hefty fee.. lol

Wow 1014 views and only 20 replies

DO you have any idea how much money 500k is?

You are going to fine someone 500,000 dollars because they cant agree on a contract? If I were the Browns I would offer the minimum contract because they have to sign because they get fined 500,000 dollars every time they don't sign...

Think before you speak.

That was a guy speaking with the heart while the mind was on break.

man.. nobody is signing crap!!

wow 6 more days to camp and only 1 player..... and hes a 7th rounder... signed thats ridiculous there better be somebody signed today

Somebody sign.....please.....anybody.

this post would sink to the bottom if we didnt say something.. lol

Steelers sign first rounder Timmons

Timmons signs

HACK

You can start working on the Browns list now that you are done, Steel,

Grats Hack. I look for Quinn to be next.

!5 pick money should be fair IMO also.

Finally, something to actually report in this thread! Ref, maybe you can get rid of all the superfluous stuff (except Hack's link about Timmons). Hopefully they'll start pouring in now.
