2007 Frenzy RFA Commentary

Preds · April 23rd, 2007, 10:58 AM

Just a place to keep our discussion on the current bidding.

I'll start off with a big WOW to the Freedom's aggressive pursuit of LT. You've already likely priced me out of the market! Impressive Matt. Good luck with the bid.

Philadelphia Freedom · April 23rd, 2007, 11:08 AM

Well so far it is the only bid. Almost like everyone is on the SAC'd schedule. Oh, well I am guessing it will pick up at some point.

I'm in somewhat of a wait and see pattern myself. Though there are a couple WR's I have an interest in. Just want to see who gets in play first I guess.

Philadelphia Freedom · April 23rd, 2007, 11:26 AM

Well 13 of the 32 players tendered were WR's. Also, over half of the tender offers appear to be for first rounders. Should be an interesting time since most teams seem to have $ to spend.

Urza's Ragers · April 23rd, 2007, 11:57 AM

WOW is right, that's 1/3 of his cap!!!!!

Preds · April 23rd, 2007, 12:07 PM

LT has proven he's worth that. Also keep in mind Frank paid him 3450 last year.

I'll wager we need to go higher to keep Frank from matching.

Nittany Dodgers · April 23rd, 2007, 03:34 PM

Two players in play! Woo hoo!

This is the excitement I've been looking forward to for months! :dammit

Nothing except lack of available cash.

Life's a gamble, I just popped my '07 cherry on Driver. Love him as a player.

Preds · April 23rd, 2007, 05:35 PM

Nice try Frank, but 2900 aint gonna net you Shaun. :p

Sounds like a man ready to let Shaun go.

Nah, I'll be matching at that number.

Preds · April 23rd, 2007, 11:16 PM

Whew! Popes jumps in the frey with a rock solid bid on Antonio. Love the bid. Wish I could partake in moving him higher. My favorite TE in the NFL.

Popes · April 24th, 2007, 12:23 AM

Yeah, I decided it was time to get in on the fun. I've been checking the site all day. This is rather addicting!

Preds, so you gonna bid on both the guys I still own and the guys I want??? Some welcome... ;)

Preds · April 24th, 2007, 09:40 AM

:yawn:

Where are all the bids?

Nittany Dodgers · April 24th, 2007, 10:00 AM

No kidding. Wake me in the 2nd round of the draft I guess.

Urza's Ragers · April 24th, 2007, 11:09 AM

Everyone must be on a wait and see status...

Kind of makes sense as some players may be impacted by what happens with the draft this weekend. Otherwise, I don't get it since folks have money to spend.

I don't get it either. I'm fairly tight against the cap, yet I'm out there bidding. Whats up with the inactivity guys?

Nittany Dodgers · April 24th, 2007, 11:37 AM

If people are waiting for the draft, then I'm definitely voting against moving the RFA period back permanently. This is usually the most exciting part of the year, and now there's nothing going on.

smsmith40 · April 24th, 2007, 11:51 AM

I think I said at the time that shifting the RFA would change the dynamic. I think it has to happen either well before the draft or do the whole off season after it.

I could care less about the draft. It's not impacting my decisions at all.

Burt the Butcher · April 24th, 2007, 12:00 PM

Watching from the sidelines here. I don't see how which rookie you might be interested in will affect whether or not to go after proven veterans? Unless it's purely a money thing, and you want to gauge how much $ you'll spend on rookies? But how many rookies are actually put on active rosters the first year. I can only think of 2 who might go to active right away, plus maybe one or two more depending on circumstances of team drafting them. Maybe you're all just waiting to see what we do in SAC'd!!

out...

Popes · April 24th, 2007, 12:05 PM

Yeah, I think there's really only two or three teams who could legitimately have a wait and see attitude due to the draft. I'm one of them and I'm not considering it. More bids coming today...

I have the 4 and 5 picks... and like I said, the draft has ZERO impact on my RFA decision making.

smsmith40 · April 24th, 2007, 12:11 PM

Preds

Depends on your situation, as you have picks at 4 and 5 in the draft I wouldn't expect that the RFA would have much of an impact, You are loaded in most positions. My guess, given that you have 3 good to great young QBs that you are going to avoid Russell and Quinn. You will pick what you believe the two best RBs not named Peterson and Lynch who are likely gone by then. You will have the luxury of sticking them on the Taxi squad and seeing if one of them develops.

Thats a great situation, I on the other hand probably need my rookie to play (fair enough given my draft postion) but don't you think tha the choice between RB and WR at the top of the draft isn't at least influenced by RFA availbility and vice versa

Valid points, however if I wanted to I could attempt to move up with those 4 and 5 picks, which then could mean the rookie draft could impact me... reality is, I let the rookies sort themselves out later and personally haven't looked into the rookie draft at all as far as my team planning is going. If I land an impact player, I'll adjust at that time.

Maybe poor planning on my end, or conversly, perhaps smart planning, as I'm not wagering my plans on the outcome of the rookie draft.
