MHR Free Agency Open Thread--Part 2

in 2009 Denver Broncos Off-Season
Email
PrintNot a lot going on but still lots to talk about. So possibly signing two new RBs? Very interesting opening salvo. Here's the details at this point:
- New Denver head coach Josh McDaniels must have thought running back was his team's most pressing free-agent need. The Broncos have acquired two of them by agreeing to multiyear contracts with Correll Buckhalter (Philadelphia) and J.J. Arrington (Arizona) at the midnight opening of the signing period, FOXSports.com has learned. The deals will become official when both pass physical exams.[Update: looks like they are both being brought in for visits, no completely clear take on the contracts though. My speculation is that Arrington is just visiting, while Buckhalter has a contract offer that is contingent upon passing a physical on his visit. Good luck to both of them!]
- Adam Schefter reports that"FS Renaldo Hill is scheduled to visit the Denver Broncos on Friday. Hill, an eight-year NFL veteran, spent the last three seasons with the Miami Dolphins." Can't say that this gets me all excited or anything... I will say that I am glad they are looking at some veterans to help shore up the secondary. We are darn close to an utterly inexperienced backfield, excepting Champ. GJ dug up a nice scouting report on him here
- .WR Michael Clayton and Ron Bartell are still names circulating at Dove Valley. They have calls and visits scheduled soon, respectively.

Yuck
That’s the free agent signings, uggghhh!
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum
"Duffman is thrusting in the direction of the problem" - Duffman
Appearing on ESPN early Friday, free agent T.J. Houshmandzadeh named the Giants, Seahawks, Eagles, and Vikings as teams he’d be interested in playing for.
Houshmandzadeh singled out Minnesota, noting the single teams he’d see with Adrian Peterson in the backfield. He’d supplant Sidney Rice as a starter.

I wouldnt do it
I feel the 2nd round has good potential for NT’s. And right now, that’s all Gabe is too; potential. So not really gaining anything.
In addition to G/C Jason Brown, the Rams have scheduled a free agent visit with LB Bart Scott.
Scott would play MIKE linebacker in St. Louis and allow the Rams to kick Will Witherspoon to the weak side, which is considered his strongest position. The Rams aren’t overflowing with salary cap space, but can offer Scott a more glorified role than he ever played in Baltimore.

From the Fish
Wikipedia sez (re: 2008): During training camp, Hill initially lost his job to recently signed free agent Chris Crocker. Eventually, though the secondary was exposed during the first two weeks particuarly in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, giving up pass plays of 50 or more yards. In Week 3, Hill got the free safety job once again, and it paid huge dividends as the secondary play became more solid and it also helped Miami earn its first victory of the season against the Patriots. Renaldo Hill also proved to be solid in run support, finishing with 74 tackles. He nabbed three interceptions. He is a free agent in the 2009 offseason and it has yet to be seen whether or not the Dolphins will re-sign him.

I'm okay with the age...
…as long as we develop Barrett and at least one other young safety from this draft.
AND ADD TAYLOR MAYS NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 2006
he started all 16 games for the Dolphins in 2006 and finished third on the team (behind linebackers Zach Thomas and Channing Crowder) with 83 tackles. Hill also had two interceptions, which tied him with Jason Taylor for the team lead, and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown. Hill picked off Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman during the season (both in wins by the Dolphins). He also returned a Chester Taylor fumble forced by Matt Roth 48 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of a 24-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

Buckhalter is interesting
The line out of Philly is that he will compete for a starting job. 6’0, 217. He was a 4th round choice in 2001 and has a history of knee injuries. He has relatively low miles (Career 74 gms 476att. 2155yds 4.5ypc). But with 85 receptions for 930 yds.,and a 10.9 ypc., he’s worth a flier if the knees check out.

Why bring in a guy with injury history
Torain is a better back and just as injury prone.
"Me fail english, that unpossible" - Ralph Wiggum

Honestly
we don’t know what we have in Torain. I think at this point to say he’s a better back is a complete leap of faith.

They love to throw to the backs. And Buck is definitely one of the better backs in that role.

Renaldo HIll --> according to ESPN INSIDER (5'11" 205)
Grade 61 (average starter)
Comment: Hill is an undersized safety who has good athleticism. He had been a durable player prior to 2007, when he had a season-ending injury. He is a hard-nosed player who is active and fills the alley quickly. He is an athletic player who keeps leverage with body control, technique and instincts. He uses his hands well to stay active to the pile. Hill is a smart player who is versatile to line up in the box, off the hash or as a nickel defender. He is best in combination-man or zone schemes, but may be a liability in pure man coverage. He runs well, but is an explosive athlete who can make up ground when out of position. He reacts well to break points and maintains leverage on receivers with a solid peddle and confidence in his short-area quickness. He is a competitive player who will square up in a crease, but isn’t as physical as many safeties in the league. He brings depth and versatility to the Dolphins’ secondary.

Updating a previous item, FOXSports’ Alex Marvez reports that the Broncos are expected to sign both Correll Buckhalter and J.J. Arrington after they pass their physicals on Friday.
The Broncos are going to use a backfield committee under Josh McDaniels, just like he employed in New England. Neither signing is very inspiring, but this probably takes Denver out of the running for free agent Derrick Ward. Marvez calls Buckhalter, 30, “a front-runner for a starting spot.”
JJ Arrington
Interesting fella. He was arrested in June of 08 after a fist fight. However, he’s a three way threat – running, receiving and returns.
• A second-round draft pick (44th overall) in 2005 out of the University of California; has appeared in 47 career games as a running back and kick returner in his first three seasons.
• Led all Arizona running backs in 2007 with 29 catches for 241 yards, recording the first receiving touchdown of his career vs. Atlanta on 12/23.
• In 2006, became the first Cardinal since 2003 (Josh Scobey, 9/28 at StL) to return a kickoff for a TD when he took the opening kickoff 99 yards at Minnesota on 11/26. It was just the second TD on the return of an opening kickoff in franchise history (Roy Shivers, 9/25/66).
• His 220 kickoff return yards at Minnesota in 2006 were the second-most in team history (252, Josh Scobey, 9/28/03 at StL) and his 1,520 kickoff return yards marked the third-highest single-season total in team history.
• Was the nation’s top rusher in terms of yardage (2,018) and yards/carry (7.0) in his senior year at Cal.
Might be worth the look

low miles........
don’t be surprised if he thrives in Broncs running scheme…..assuming it remains the same.
JJ has never lived up to anything in Arizona, I wouldn't expect him to even make the team
Man I am pessimistic, but really those were two names I did not want to hear.

Dude
You are killing me. JJ did well in Arizona. Give the kid a chance. I think you’ll like him on returns and he will be a solid back.
I don’t want breakaway speed. I want break-some-poor-fool-as-I-bowl-you-over power getting 6 yards off a play that should have been stopped for 2 at most.

Arrington
5’9 212. Kind of a bowling ball with good hands. 29 more receptions last year – they didn’t use him much as a RB, more as a receiver out of the backfield, which fits McD’s NE MO.

Canty’s not a good fit for Redskins
February 27, 2009 1:23 AM
Posted by ESPN.com’s Matt Mosley
Canty
There are a couple of reports out there suggesting the Redskins will make a play for Dallas Cowboys defensive end Chris Canty. He’s a guy who’s been playing in a 3-4 scheme ever since he came out of the University of Virginia, and I think he’d be a poor fit for the Redskins.
This is a club that desperately needs to improve its pass rush (28th in the league in sacks). Canty is a versatile guy who can move inside in the nickel and do a nice job. He’s also decent against the run. But he’s another guy who might have six or seven sacks a game at the most.
The Redskins already have players like Canty. Andre Carter is a similar player who can stand up and block some passes from the line of scrimmage. The Redskins need players who will scare quarterbacks. Canty’s not one of those guys.
That said, he’s a great character and a guy who can help against the run. I just don’t think he’s the kind of guy you want to commit $17 million to. And that’s what he’s going to want. He’d be a much better fit with the Dolphins.

One interesting thing about Hill
Is that McD knows him well, having game planned against him twice year for the last three years. It looks like he was injured in 2007, or at any rate started only seven games, but 2008 and 2006 were reasonably good years for him.

Rotoworld Reporting the Hill Visit
Free agent S Renaldo Hill will visit the Broncos on Friday.
Denver went through its fair share of middling safeties under Mike Shanahan and Hill would be another. He became expendable in Miami when the Dolphins added Gibril Wilson. Hill started 16 games last year and made 77 stops.
Nice analysis

Looks like it was an injury for Hill in 07
From gridironfans.com, 10.21.07:
Dolphins safety Renaldo Hill was helped to the sideline after injuring his leg on a jump ball in the end zone. Randy Moss caught the touchdown pass, and as Hill came down he appeared to hyperextend his knee. He was supported by two trainers as he made his way to the sideline. We’ll update as we know more, but a serious injury would leave the Dolphins extremely thin at safety.

I never said
comment has to be positive, and i am not trying to be the negativity police; however there is a lot more negative comments then positive ones and it is highly annoying. The fact that you say it is Risky to have two 32 years old running the show is an ignorant comment. Any first time head coach of GM is a RISK regardless of their age. They would both not be in their respective positions if Pat Bowlen did not think they could get the job done. Also if we have learned anything over the last 2 month is Pat Bowlen has taken back the control of his Team. Mcdaniels and Xanders report Directly to Bowlen. Bowlen is making all the FINAL decisions. Since Bowlen makes the Final decisions you logic that Mcxanders can do any long term damange has no basis.
I never said people were not entitled to their opinions and I never attacked you. It is in fact the opposite. You attacked me by telling me to cool it and calling me a Douchebag. Now you have your opinion but it is obvious that you did not put much thought behind it since it is obvious that Bowlen now holds all the power.
Now if you were offended in any way for that I am sorry because that was not my goal. This is a blog and everyone should be able to state their mind

Spelling does indeed matter. Like it or not, everyone who reads your comments assesses your intelligence based on your spelling, punctuation, and clarity.
Most of us are willing to overlook the occasional spelling mistake; however, an eight word post with no punctuation and a spelling error does not bode well for you my friend. Also, when spelling errors are a regular occurrence, as in your case, readers simply assume you are lazy and simpleminded.

Houston is the only team that’s been connected to Smith thus far. The Cardinals are letting him walk because they have Calais Campbell ready to start.

Also, am I the only one who LOVES our running back signings so far? Aarington will be a good change of pace guy / return kickoffs (averaged over 25 yds last year). He has tons of upside and I think Bobby Turner can coach him up. Buckhalter is just a stud and if you look at his Y/P/C, he is a really productive back that was stuck behind Westbrook.

In addition to the Saints, the Broncos expressed immediate interest in free agent CB Ronald Bartell when the market opened Friday.
Bartell could schedule a flight to Denver after he heads to New Orleans. The Saints appear to be the early leaders to get him. Bartell would continue to play in a dome there as opposed to the thin air at Mile High Stadium.

Has everyone forgotten about Powell
the kid we drafted last year? He’s still around, right?
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
yea,
But IMHO he doesnt have the size to play NT. I think he could develop into a stud 3-4 end though. But not sure about NT
me too
Just not sure how he could carry it on his frame. He’s built a lot like Marcus Thomas. Worth a shot though
didnt know that
then he would be great. He’s more of a tie up blockers DT, so I think his style would translate to NT perfectly if he could get some more beef on him.
Snippet about Ronald Fields
RON FIELDS, San Francisco — Excellent power player and if a team wants to run a 3-4, he is the perfect player. He will make a ton of money in the market.

Ray Lewis
The Baltimore Sun believes that Denver could be a more likely destination for free agent Ray Lewis than the Jets or Cowboys.
Lewis had a strong relationship with new Broncos DC Mike Nolan when the two were in Baltimore. Denver is also letting incumbent MLB Nate Webster go. Lewis is thought to have turned down a three-year, $25M offer from the Ravens.
I would be down
for Lewis to come in to denver! i think he still has a few years in him and he is a leader on the field
I could live with it...
I would still like to see an ILB drafted. So if Ray could be around to bring up the draft pick and possibly Spencer Larson, it might be a good thing.
then why would
he wanna play for the cowboys? or the jets? or re sign with the ravens? they all run 3 4s
I haven't heard it
The only MLB I can think of that said they don’t like the 3-4 is Vilma. Thats why he left the Jets
Lol great point is great.

Ray Lewis
Broncos
This is the team that has stayed under the radar with Lewis. But there are strong signs Denver could make a run at him.
New Broncos defensive coordinator Nolan had a great relationship with Lewis when he was the Ravens’ defensive coordinator. They would meet every week to discuss game-planning.
Besides, Denver is not expected to re-sign middle linebacker Nate Webster. It has been estimated the Broncos have more than $30 million in salary-cap room.
This could be a more viable destination than the Cowboys or the Jets.
-Baltimore Sun
I honestly just don't see it
Besides, does everyone remember how mediocre Lewis was before Ngata got there and after Siragusa had left? We don’t have that kind of space eating big man to occupy blockers. Signing him would seem to indicate to me that the team is targeting Raji in the draft.

Dude
This would be a nightmare scenario for me. Building a new defense around a guy whose last great season will probably be last year, in his final big contract season, and supplanting him with the draft’s most overrated prospect (imo, obviously) in Raji. I think we should take his name off the board entirely, but I doubt that would happen.

I'm BACK!!!
And alone….. so alone…. I’m going back to bed.
I like the signings of Buckhalter and Arrington. Bartell would be awesome.Who is this SAF and why is he not Sanders?
From rotoworld: “Free agent CB Bryant McFadden is "leaning toward” signing with the Lions, according to SI.com’s Peter King." Why would you want to go to the Lions?
OK, I've started having dreams about the draft. Is that bad? A couple of weeks ago, I dreamed that we traded down to the #18 pick and drafted Chris Wells. (Zappa was pissed off.) Then last night I dreamed that we passed on Knowshon Moreno to get Maualuga, and Knowshon went to the Chargers. (Zappa was pissed off again.) Is it worse that I'm dreaming about the draft, or that I'm dreaming about Zappa?
