February 28, 200818 yr comment_32128 I thought it would be a good idea to start a FA Tracker thread with the period opening tomorrow (or actually 11pm tonight). Here is one of many Trackers: http://proxy.espn.go.com/nfl/fa?bcsi_scan_...F/1kQEAAAAGMHAB Report
February 28, 200818 yr comment_32132 12 ET tonight is a start to a period that is going to be awfully important. John Clayton says Alan Faneca won't sleep tonight and that he expects Faneca to get calls from only certain teams. Report

February 29, 200818 yr comment_32182 25 minutes. I wonder how many signings will happen overnight. I've tried staying up before and you never hear anything until the next morning. There's no reason for teams to announce it immediately since it implies tamporing. That's why I'm going to sleep. Report
February 29, 200818 yr comment_32186 The St. Petersburg Times "has it on good authority" that free agent Asante Samuel will sign with the Eagles. In the last hour, there were all kinds of unsubstantiated reports coming out of Philly that the sides have a deal in place. The Birds may wait a few more hours or (ugh) until tomorrow to announce the agreement formally. As free agency began Friday at 12:00 AM ET, the Patriots had no deal in place with Randy Moss, according to ESPN's John Clayton. The 6'4 wideout with 4.3 speed and a 40'' vertical who scored 23 TDs last season is officially open to the highest bidder. The Patriots shouldn't be out of the picture, but the 31-year-old may as well look around. The Bears, Lions, and Saints are "believed to have the strongest interest" in free agent Michael Turner, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Chicago isn't in great shape under the cap, but he'd probably like to play in his hometown. The Union-Trib suggests that Turner won't sign during the first wave of free agency with teams hesitant due to an RB-rich draft class Report
February 29, 200818 yr comment_32188 The Jets are reportedly poised to make free agent G Alan Faneca a deal averaging $8 million per season. Interestingly, the NY Daily News notes that the Jets are expected to "outbid the Rams and 49ers," neither of which we've heard linked to Faneca. Niners GM Scot McCloughan is outspokenly opposed to giving guards monster contracts. The Rams are needy there, but in poor salary cap condition. Report
