Default NFL free agency

Looks like the fun has already begun.

jets trade for cromartie

peppers going to chicago

burleson signing in detroit.


Sure this is just the beginning esp with an uncapped season.

What I dont getis how teams can place tenders on their restricted freeagents why do they get to set how many or what draft picks they get for compensation.

I thought they can only place tenders on restricted free agents?
Unrestricted is exactly that: unrestricted = show me the $$.

I believe the tenders on restricted players are based on number of years in the league. Below six years, and they are worth a first rd pick, and above six years and they are worth a first and a third rd pick.

I think that is what they said yesterday.....

Now they are saying something about 4yr guys being restricted (due to no cap) next year. Apparently, you only had to have 4 yrs in the league to be allowed unrestricted status?

Stuff is confusing, for sure.

Detriot also got Williams from Green Bay and will get Suh in the draft. Maybe the lions can turn it around this year........ wait, no they won't.

Are the lions using a 3-4? Suh is too small to play NT in that scheme. Not sure about the other DT that will be taken up top also if he will fit in that defense.

I dont think detroit is too far off from being a better team. Stafford is developing now you got a guy to takesome pressure off megatron. They were in a few more games this year too so time will tell.

peppers wants a long term deal (closest thing to job security) so he signs a fat contract an gets x amount of guaranteed money. There may be a lockout in 2011 and no one knows whats going to happen after that, so its a gamble.

I read the steelers aretreating this like a capped year and going about buiness as usual. I sure do hate them but they are quite good at running an organization.
