    FOR SIX TEAMS, NO NEW FREE AGENTS
    pft.com

    Since free agency opened two weeks ago, 26 teams have signed players who spent the 2006 season with other teams.

    Six teams, to date, have not signed a single free agent who played elsewhere last year.

    The Bengals, Ravens, Chargers, Giants, Bears, and Panthers are the franchises who have opted thus far to stand pat.
    Of that group, both the Giants and the Ravens have traded for new running backs.
    But none of this six-pack of teams has inked a new veteran player.

    Four other teams have signed only one new player.
    The Colts recently inked quarterback John Navarre, a third-year player who received no free-agent tender from the Cardinals.
    The Packers signed cornerback Frank Walker earlier this week.
    The Steelers signed offensive lineman Sean Mahan over the weekend.
    And the Titans recently snagged cornerback Nick Harper.

    The most active team to date has been the Bucs, with seven new players under contract.
    The Browns have signed six, and the 49ers, Raiders, and Patriots have signed five.

    Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. Mark Twain

    Re: 19% of teams signed 0 FAs.

    What if some of the guys on this page were Colts fans.
    How would this news be taken?
    ;D

    The Colts recently inked quarterback John Navarre, a third-year player who received no free-agent tender from the Cardinals.
    Instantly threads/comments would crop up that said things like:

    a.
    Peyton is retiring.
    We are gonna suck.
    b.
    Why did they waste money on that guy.
    We are gonna suck.
    c.
    He isn't a big name Free Agent.
    We are gonna suck.

    Feel free to add to this list
    ;D

    I'm not sure how the fans would be reacting, let us bring home a lombardi trophy and give us a QB who is a league mvp candidate every year and we'll talk

    Scratch the Bengals off the list (Cardinals center Alex Stepanovich). Down to five teams now.

    We should have never let Edge go to Arizona. Now, If we package our first 3 draft choices,which Dungy will screw up anyway, with Joseph Addai we can trade them for Edge and bring him back where he belongs ;D
