2011 NFL Free Agency Rumors: Braylon Edwards Will Reportedly Visit 49ers

Thus far Floyd has played the entirety of his seven year NFL career with the San Diego Chargers, stretching the field with his blistering speed while pulling in career high numbers over the last two years. Since 2009, the 29-year-old has compiled 82 receptions for 1493 yards and seven touchdowns.

There are a few things that never change, lockout or no. And one of them is that Al Davis is going to be active on the free-agent market. The other is that John Clayton sees everything. Which brings us to the collision of those two certainties:

So he was serious. According to a report from Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, Tiki Barber worked out with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday. It was revealed in March that Barber had filed for reinstatement into the NFL, much to the surprise of, well, everybody.

For the 49ers part, that wouldn’t be a bad move, if it’s on a short-term deal. He could be motivated to play well and get back on the open market in 2012 while giving the 49ers a boost in 2011. It won’t take much improvement to win the NFC West next season so I’d be in favor of that move.

I’m sure the 49ers fans at Niners Nation will be buzzing about this.

Said Pappa: “Al Davis didn’t just give Kamerion Wimbley $29 million to lose Zach Miller to Tom Cable.”

Miller is coming off a third straight solid year in which he has established himself as one of the league’s best tight ends. Last year, he earned his first Pro Bowl selection after 60 passes for 685 yards and scoring five touchdowns.

For hours now, they’ve reportedly been trying to find a way to fit Cromartie under the salary cap. According to John Clayton, this now means “calling around” to try and find a willing trade partner. No word on what they might be offering, but assume it’s one of their other really good cornerbacks. No, don’t assume that.

Cromartie has made it to Sunday to become one of the most highly sought free agents left in the great derby of 2011. The Jets appear to have the inside track, but the Eagles didn’t appear to have any type of track whatsoever in the race for Nnamdi, and look what happened there. Just look at it.

Clearly the Cardinals’ players are on board with the move as well, which always helps chemistry.

They’ve released QB Mark Brunell and QB Kevin O’Connell. Follow-up reports suggest that those moves were made to create the cap space in the chance that they can get Asomugha.

Teams have to be under the salary cap by the start of the league year, which could come on Aug. 4 so they have some time but it appears they’re preparing for a big signing.

The Jets head coach is Rex Ryan and the Cowboys defensive coordinator is Rob Ryan and both guys are trying to haul in Asomugha.

So it comes down to the Jets and Cowboys. Both teams have been cutting quite a bit of cap room suggesting they’re making room for a big signing. Asomugha could be looking at a deal that pays him in the $12-14 million range so they’ll need some salary cap room to make it happen.

The Jets were reportedly working through the night in negotiations with Asomugha and it’s unclear where they stand on that.

So is the rest of the football world. Asomugha’s deal could be in the $12-14 million range and it will require the Jets to restructure at least a couple of existing contracts on the team.

News on Franklin’s free agency future has been virtually non-existent, which is rather surprising given the fact that he is one of the more high-profile options on the free agent market. When nothing is being said on Twitter about a player, it makes you wonder what is going on. Even a little speculation would be better than nothing.

There are going to be a number of teams connected to Bushrod. He’s one of the top offensive tackles available and it’s hard to come by solid offensive tackles so he’ll be in demand.

Any deal he agrees to can’t become official until Friday night when players are permitted to sign with teams.

Any deal Edwards reached with another team won’t be official until Friday night when players are permitted to sign. Even then, he won’t get to training camp until Aug. 4 at the earliest, according to the rules in the new labor agreement.

Asomugha is the most coveted free agent on the market and he’ll be signing a major deal someplace. The Jets reportedly are serious about their interest in him and have even contacted several players about restructuring their contract to fit Asomugha. They don’t need to be under the salary cap until the start of the league year, believed to be Aug. 4, so New York would have some time to move things around if they could get him.

So will it be the Texans? Or the 49ers or Jets? Time will tell in the Asomugha sweepstakes.

Floyd had emerged as a starter for the Chargers over the last two seasons. Injury limited him to just 11 games in 2010, but he did finish with career highs in touchdowns (6), yards per reception (19.4) and yards per game (65.2). His career high in receiving yard (776) came in 2009.

Turf Show Times, our Rams blog, questions whether Floyd could turn into a No. 1 wide receiver. It’s a valid question to ask of a receiver entering his seventh year in the league and has only entered the spotlight the last two seasons.

Silver and Black Pride, our Raiders blog, is tempering its excitement over this possible acquisition, though:

But whatever happens, the Raiders’ secondary will still suffer a setback with the loss of Asomugha.

He has since deleted that tweet, but later sent this one out.

The Turf Show Times had this to say about the 6-foot-4 fifth-year receiver:

The latest in the NFL free agency rumors?

So that has them looking at Moss. It seems like the type of move the Jets would make so I wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen.

We know the Jets are getting “serious” with their Asomugha talks. Now NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi reports that the 49ers are “in it strong” as well. Per multiple reports, the Texans are believed to be making a push as well but, according to Lombardi, the top two contenders are the Jets and 49ers.
