NFL Free Agent Game/Puzzle

WSUCougar · 03-02-2005, 11:56 AM

In honor of the free agency season, here's a little group exercise to try.

The idea is to connect all 32 NFL teams using direct FA player links. More specifically, you can only connect teams by using a player who signed as a free agent with their new team directly away from the old team.

Example:

Drew Bledsoe connects the Bills to the Cowboys, but does NOT connect the Patriots to the Cowboys.

We'll start with that one to get things moving.

49’ers (used)
Bears (used)
Bengals
Bills (used)
Broncos (used)
Browns (used)
Bucs (used)
Cardinals (used)
Chargers (used)
Chiefs (used)
Colts (used)
Cowboys (used)
Dolphins
Eagles (used)
Falcons (used)
Giants (used)
Jaguars (used)
Jets (used)
Lions (used)
Packers
Panthers (used)
Patriots (used)
Raiders (used)
Rams (used)
Ravens
Redskins
Saints (used)
Seahawks (used)
Steelers (used)
Texans (used)
Titans
Vikings (used)

Drew Bledsoe connects the Bills to the Cowboys.

So someone take the Cowboys and connect them to another team...

digamma · 03-02-2005, 12:01 PM

Emmitt Smith connects the Cowboys to the Cardinals.

JeeberD · 03-02-2005, 12:02 PM

Edit: Scratch that, Jones was traded to the Bucs...

Cap Ologist · 03-02-2005, 12:07 PM

Bertrand Berry connects the Cardinals to the Broncos.

Sorry, but technically he connects the Broncos to the Cardinals, and since we already have used the Cardinals this one doesn't work.

Cap Ologist · 03-02-2005, 12:15 PM

I guess I should learn to read instructions better, huh?

rkmsuf · 03-02-2005, 12:15 PM

David Boston

Cardinals/Chargers

JAG · 03-02-2005, 12:19 PM

This could get hard at the end. Don't use Redskins or Raiders early on, try to use teams that don't sign anyone.

No worries. They were a bit vague, so I tried to clarify them.

Was Junior Seau traded to the Dolphins or was he signed as a FA?

rafini · 03-02-2005, 12:20 PM

traded

rafini · 03-02-2005, 12:22 PM

I saw Emmitt used, are we using just active players or all-time?

Not mention, didn't he sign a contract with the Cowboys so that he could retire as one?

Pumpy Tudors · 03-02-2005, 12:54 PM

rafini · 03-02-2005, 12:55 PM

As soon as I posted that it dawned on me that we should've waited to use the Texans till the end. This one won't be easy.

rafini · 03-02-2005, 12:57 PM

Greg Comella
Texans to Buccaneers

Pumpy Tudors · 03-02-2005, 12:59 PM

Discussion... We can link Ravens to Redskins with today's Casey Rabach signing...

Pyser · 03-02-2005, 02:13 PM

the ravens look like the toughest team to me. they dont sign many players.

neither have the titans, since theyve been over the cap or close since forever...

WSUCougar · 03-02-2005, 02:18 PM

The Bengals are going to be tough.

WSUCougar · 03-02-2005, 02:18 PM

We could go Antowain Smith from the Pats to the Titans.

rkmsuf · 03-02-2005, 02:19 PM

Ben Coates

Patriots to Ravens

has been put on hold.

Ben is not pleased.

WSUCougar · 03-02-2005, 02:21 PM

Let's keep that in reserve.

Pyser · 03-02-2005, 02:22 PM

well, we could use the center the redskins signed from balt today, but i think we should hold off on washington...
