AW: NFL-Offseason 2007Hier kommt alles rein zum Thema Draft,Free Agency

Reports are that cornerback Nate Clements signed an eight-year, $80 million deal with San Francisco that includes $22 million guaranteed, and he's never been to a Pro Bowl.
Whichever golf course Terence Newman was on today, he should be extremely happy.
Newman does not become a free agent until 2008, but the Cowboys would like to re-sign him like they did Jason Witten, Roy Williams and Bradie James. Now the big question is how much will it take?
Here are the stats from NFL.com on Newman and Clements
Newman - 12 interceptions, 53 pass deflections in 64 games.
Clements - 23 interceptions, 61 pass deflections in 96 games

Tracking the comings and goings in free agency

(March 2, 2007) -- Free agency has opened with a flurry. Already, numerous teams are on the board. Take a glance at the deals, and the potential soon-to-be deals.
Friday, March 2

The Patriots are expected to sign free agent LB Adalius Thomas and TE Kyle Brady.

The Saints are scheduled to host free agents CB Ken Hamlin and LB Brian Simmons on Saturday.

The 49ers have signed CB Nate Clements to the biggest contract ever given to a defensive player -- eight years, $80 million, including $22 million guaranteed.

Browns have signed OT Eric Steinbach to seven-year contract worth $49.5 million with $17 million guaranteed.

Bills have agreed to terms with guard Derrick Dockery on seven-year deal worth $49 million with $18.5 million guaranteed.
(Note: Last year, Steve Hutchinson deal was worth $49 million for seven years with $16.5 guaranteed. Dockery (guard) matches that, and Steinbach (tackle) just beats it. Both Steinbach and Dockery got more guaranteed money than Hutchinson.)

Also, the Bills and OT Langston Walker have agreed to terms on five-year deal worth approximately $25 million.

Buccaneers have signed free-agent DE Patrick Chukwurah to five-year contract worth $5.5 million with $400,000 guaranteed.

The Falcons have signed FB Ovie Mughelli to a six-year contract worth $18 million, including $5 million guaranteed.

Chiefs Saturday.

Other news

Quarterback Jake Plummer is expected to retire. The Broncos and
Buccaneers had agreed to terms on a trade to send Plummer to Tampa Bay in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick, but the trade would be nullified by Plummer's decision to retire.

The Lions also traded DE James Hall to St. Louis for their second 2007 fifth-

Bucs trade for Plummer, sign Garcia in QB splurge

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free-agent quarterback Jeff Garcia on Saturday and obtained the rights to Jake Plummer from Denver, adding two quarterbacks to compete with Chris Simms next season

Plummer, who reportedly was thinking of retiring if he was traded, was sent to the Buccaneers for a conditional 2008 draft choice, the Broncos said.

The 37-year-old Garcia, who last year led Philadelphia to the playoffs filling in for the injured Donovan McNabb, agreed to terms a day after talking with the Oakland Raiders. The signing was reported on the Bucs' Web site.

Simms, who missed the final 13 games of last season with a ruptured spleen, is the incumbent

Es gibt Entscheidungen, die verstehe ich nicht.
Zwar nur ein 7.Runden Draftpick, aber ein Draftpick für einen Veteran.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2786760

Das mit Plummer ist lustig, denn wenn er doch spielen möchte in der kommenden Saison, dann haben die Bucs 2 Veteranen unter Vertrag.
Plummer ist somit kein Bronco mehr. Die Rechte an ihm besitzen jetzt die Bucs im Tausch für einen Draftpick.

Da siehst du mal, was Jeff Garcia als Backup wert ist. 5 Millionen Dollar/p.a..
Und er ist nach deinen Aussagen ja nur der Backup für Simms.

Na ja, 7th round picks schaffen es häufig nach dem Training Camp nicht ins Team, von daher geht das schon in Ordnung.

Da er mit Plummer und Simms harte Konkurrenz hat ist es doch noch gar nicht raus ob er Starter sein wird. Und 5 Mio. für nen möglichen Back-Up sind schon ganz schön happig... gerade wenn man bedenkt dass er 37 Jahre alt ist und in den letzten 3 Jahren 6 gute Spiele gemacht hat.

Ist aber schon krass wie die ganzen Gehälter dieses Jahr explodieren, weil die meisten Teams massig Salary-Cap-Platz haben.
