It's the dawn of a new day my friends, both figuratively and literally. Free agency kicked off yesterday, so let's get a little recap of what we can confirm right now:
- Sean Considine has reportedly agreed to a 2 year, $3M deal with Jacksonville.
- Correll Buckhalter has reportedly agreed to a 4 year (monetary figures unknown) deal with Denver.
- Lito Sheppard has been dealt to the Jets for a 2009 5th round draft pick and a conditional pick in 2010 (possibly as high as a 2nd).
- Stacy Andrews has been visiting with the Eagles and reportedly will sign a 4 year, $28M deal today. He meets with the press at 11:30EST.
- Finally, Brian Dawkins flew to Denver yesterday. He has reportedly agreed in principal to a deal with Denver, but nothing has been signed yet.
As far as BGN is concerned, we were highly trafficked yesterday and the Brian Dawkins thread hit almost 600 comments. That's a lot for a non game day thread. So join us today again, and we will try to keep you all in the loop on the breaking announcements. It's been an interesting twenty-four hours, to say the least. I know some of you are upset at how things are panning out so far, but like the title says, it's always darkest before the dawn. It's still early, my friends, and more activity is sure to come. Go Birds!
Feel free to use this thread to discuss free agency in general until something else breaks.
