Funny stuff you guys on scabs etc. 87 was an interesting yar with a few crossing the line and all the scab players. Different circumstances and since this could go on for a while we got some news today about the 4-3 defense and thought is would make for some good topics. Let's go to the next post on the 4-3 Defense, I'm anxious to know your thoughts. I'll post the defense in a few as I have to send my pics to the IT guys as the system I post in has been acting up lately.

Other teams would have to surrender those two levels of picks in the upcoming draft if they signed the restricted free agent who stands to make $3.168 million next season with the Broncos. Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall, who began and ended last season in coach Josh McDaniels' dog house, received a first-round qualifying offer - which would make it easier to facilitate a trade. Marshall would get a 14.7 percent raise next season to $2.521 million if he's still in Denver. Quarterback Kyle Orton ($2.261 million) and guard Kris Kuper ($2.521 million) also received first-round tender offers, and tight end Tony Scheffler ($1.759 million) was given a second-round tender.

RFAs have received qualifying offers from their old clubs and are free to negotiate with any club until a deadline which occurs approximately a week prior to the NFL Draft (for 2010 the deadline was April 15), at which time their rights revert to their original club. If a player accepts an offer from a new club, the old club will have the right to match the offer and retain the player. If the old club elects not to match the offer, it may receive draft-choice compensation depending on the level of the qualifying offer made to the player. Unrestricted free agents Unrestricted free agents are players who have completed six or more accrued seasons of service and whose contracts have expired. They are free to sign with any franchise. The restricted free agent is the one who could require a first and a third... Like last year Orton was offered such amount that it made him worth a second, Doom was a first I think, Kuper a second too, anyway that's a bit old to remember the exact amounts tendered to them and subsequent picks required to get them, but that's how it works. sndvl, I just got where your confusion came from, restricted and unrestricted free agents, not franchised players:

He lead the Nation with 15.5 sacks last year playing with a partially torn miniscus. I like what I've read about Bowers although it seems he's excelled due to sheer athlectic ablity vs. technique.

That means bloggers are still out there, they just need something to talk about to show up, not like some of us stupid daily bloggers who post whether we have something to say or not, LOL.
