When do we get to start signing our own guys?
 
Assuming the vote goes through tomorrow, at what point can we start signing guys like Harper, Nicks, etc? Will it be tomorrow or closer to Saturaday?

Friday is what the NFL N is reporting.

Crap, I figured we would get a few days to sign our guys before FA started, and FA is reported to start Saturday if everything goes as planned. This is killing me.

From what little I read they were pretty humble. Mainly watching that corner in which name I wont try to spell.

No need to at all. They'll spend 10 mill a season and he can only take out one offensive weapon. Drew has about 4 or 5 weapons on every play.

But it would be really bad news for Atlanta, since they basically only have Roddy White.

AGREED :doh: Oakland couldn't win with him.

:bng::bng::bng:

Still, I don't want him in the division.

I'd be much more worried about Tampa adding 3 or 4 high quality free-agents at positions of need with the same money required to sign N.A.

Yeah, cause Brees could always throw to the other side or underneath to Reggie...

Or Ingram, or Ivory, or PT, or Graham, or Moore, or Henderson, or Meachem, or AA, or Evans, or D.Thomas, or Reggies replacement.

Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer confirms that NFL teams will be able to bring in players for free agent visits beginning Tuesday.

As we've stated many times, free agents can't sign on the dotted line until Friday night. They can show up to facilities for physicals, however, so by Friday we'll have a good idea as to the clubs interested in them. Free agent visits are confirmation that there is mutual interest between player and team. They're much stronger indicators than speculation and newspaper reports.

Julio "Down-by-the-school-yard" Jones may have something to say 'bout that...
