I really think this is the most possible signing for our backfield.
Don't think I would want Hillis because he seems to have attitude problems plus he would want big $$
and Micheal Bush would be nice, but he knows he could get starter money elsewhere, and would warrant that even if he came here
Looks like Wayne and Manning wont be a packaged deal...
Wayne re-signed with Indy for 3 years

Ink's 3 year deal with Dallas
Understanding ebb and flow of frenzied free-agent period
Here's a good article that explains why we don't get caught up in the first 24 hours of Free Agency, and I really do think that Pioli believes in this method.
It basically states that Teams overspend in the first few days of Free Agency. If you sign someone within this time period, the agents know they hold the cards, and you need to be prepared to pay a handsome price tag. It is usually a bunch of high risk contracts (mainly because there is a-lot of money involved in these contracts, and if they don't work out, you're strapped)
The second tier of Free agents is what Pioli likes to go for. Lower risk regarding to money(contracts are not as large) but most of the prospects are capable of over achieving compared to the contracts they sign.
We have seen from teams like Washington, Philly, and Dallas, that making that big splash in the first 24hrs doesn't exactly always work out...
I'm not worried we haven't made a big splash, although I would like to see us nab Winston...Guys like Tolbert are in that second tier who we will see signs within the next few days
Excellent article. I highly recommend reading it.
"Dream team?" :lol:Quote:
This is a fun time of the year, but do not overreact to a team's big-ticket signings, or lack thereof. Remember, the last free-agent period gave birth to a nickname that haunted a certain franchise all season. Be patient, analytical and most of all objective with all the moves to come.
This isn't really big news, but the Bears have signed WR/KR/PR Eric Weems to a 3 yr deal. (source) He was a very good special teams player with the the Ravens.
Former Chiefs wunderkind Phil Emery is making some noise in the Windy City!
according to nfl.com the CHIEFS are interested in Winston [yea], Hillis, Tolbert, Carlson...which we knew, but NOT interested in Grubbs, or Jamaal Jackson. so it looks as though we are not going after a center or guard. That would mean [if we get Winston] Decastro would probably be our pick....or maybe Powe if he is there...or maybe someone else....on second thought i guess this news doesn't really help much.
Chargers add Jarret Johnson (OLB) to their fold.

Well, well!! Carr to the Cowboys isn't a done deal. He's left without a contract.
Brandon Carr Leaving Dallas Without A Contract - Arrowhead Pride
Edit: Aww damn. That was via Nick Wright over twitter, now I have to say that I doubt that Carr has left.
Then this comes along!
"The Cowboys are close to a deal with Brandon Carr. Stay tuned.Twitter / Charean Willliams (Star-Telegram)
Carr's contract is expected to be bigger than the five-year, $50 million deal that Cortland Finnegan signed with the Rams."
Whoa.
