Seattle re-signes MVP Shaun Alexander to an 8-year $62 Million deal.Packers re-sign RB Ahman Green to a 1-year deal.
If you guys have any big free agent news post it here.
thats interesting..i figured they'd go only a 2 year contract due to the possible lockout after next season..

[TexasRed6x]

Raiders cut QB Kerry Collins, Jets sign QB Chad Pennington to a new deal and release Pro Bowl Center Kevin Mawae. I hope that Houston can sign Mawae to strengthen our offensive line. If we don't sign him I don't know who we will take in the draft.

[jtk1519]

I guess Mr. Alexander must really want to stay in Seattle. He could have signed a one year deal and just waited until the cap was gone. With another season even remotely like this past, he could command HUGE $$$ on an open, capless market.

I heard rumors that Chicago wants to go after him as well as the Eagles.
BTW I am know as a Sports Guru on this board but very little people notice my talent.

[dragons08]

I heard rumors that Chicago wants to go after him as well as the Eagles.
thats what i heard, i have a 'friend' to the Chicago Bears on myspace, and they send you the latest rumors about the bears and what not..they said if the CBA is passed, they could possibly take a run at Brees, due to the fact he had his shoulder surgery and can come cheaper due to that

[TexasRed6x]

Hey D08 ESPN sportscenter just confirmed that the FA is indeed on Thursday at 12:01 AM ET

[dragons08]

how does one, move forward in that buisness? i kind of been thinking about being a sports reporter type thing..(not writer b/c i cant spell or write properly)..i like talking about sports and i like talking in general..i can be Dick Vitale "ohhh NICE PLAY NICE PLAY NICE PLAY" (as he's about to jump into the cameron crazies)..plus he said "illinois is the team to watch out for this March" (said last night) :D

Yeah its really fun and its additcting IMO and I always run around school telling my friends scores,trades,signings and all other things and those people tell me "how the hell do you know all this stuff" and I just tell them that " I just watch it constantly and research it constantly on the internet".

i watch sportscenter every morning before school, so i get my sports knowledge loaded..i used to read the sports section as well, but sleep is more important, reading hte sports section can wait till after school

Yeah I usually watch it in the mornings and then look on the internet to see what happened during the day when I get home from school as well as read the sports page.

[Daniel Agnew]

I would like to see the Cowboys make a run for Drew Brees, if they don't get him hopefully Detroit will.

[TexasRed6x]

Rams cut WR Issac Bruce

[TexasRed6x]

Redskins and LB Lavar Arrington agree on a contract buyout making him a free agent.

[hoo2ers]

I would like to see the Cowboys make a run for Drew Brees, if they don't get him hopefully Detroit will.

You may be right Daniel. Jerry Jones is due to make some kind of deal. He has been kinda quite for a while and the Cowboys may make a deal. JJ likes his team in the $potlight.

[yankee]

Rams cut WR Issac Bruce
its sad to see someone like a HOfer like bruce to be cut because of some stupid salary cap issues. i hope he finds a team to pick him up.

[TexasRed6x]

Well he could end up staying if the team wants him to due to free agency being extended to Thursday.

[dragons08]

Well he could end up staying if the team wants him to due to free agency being extended to Thursday.
i think their going to allow teams to 'recall' their cuts, if the CBA is passed before hte deadline (so i hear on espnradio last night)

[TexasRed6x]

Rams sign DT LaRoi Glover, who was released by the Cowboys last week, to a 3-year deal.

[TexasRed6x]

Dolphins release LB Junior Seau.

[Reaganrattler07]

Redskins and LB Lavar Arrington agree on a contract buyout making him a free agent.

Freed up some much needed cap.

[SVite]

Rams sign DT LaRoi Glover, who was released by the Cowboys last week, to a 3-year deal.

I guess the play of Brady James made Glover expendable with Cowboys

[Daniel Agnew]

You may be right Daniel. Jerry Jones is due to make some kind of deal. He has been kinda quite for a while and the Cowboys may make a deal. JJ likes his team in the $potlight.


I agree & the Cowboys will have a young QB who is proven this time.

[RP-3]

I guess the play of Brady James made Glover expendable with Cowboys


Brady James is a LB and Glover is a DT...but the play of the young DTs did make him expendable.

[TexasRed6x]

Eagles sign LB Shawn Barber, who had recently been with the Chiefs, to a one year deal.

[dragons08]

rumor has it deadline is pushed back till 10 ET time..

drove by the 'meeting' place, you couldnt tell, that the NFL was there..they're keeping it pretty hidden as to where exactly in this mamothh hotel they are

[dragons08]

consider it passed!! Owners approve CBA

[SeguinMatadors]

consider it passed!! Owners approve CBA

What are the terms?

[TexasRed6x]

What are the terms?
Free Agency will start Friday.

[TexasRed6x]

Rams sign WR Issac Bruce to a 3 year deal.

[TexasRed6x]

Giants sign CB Sam Madison, who played with the Dolphins last year, to a 4 year deal.

[Reaganrattler07]

Rams sign WR Issac Bruce to a 3 year deal.

Didn't they just release him?

[TexasRed6x]

Didn't they just release him?
Yeah. I guess they released him to clear some cap space and then signed him to a restructured contract.

[TexasRed6x]

Raiders officially cut Kerry Collins after releasing him and then pulling him back. I think the Raiders are almost ready to pull the trigger on the trade for Daunte Culpepper after releasing Collins.

[Reaganrattler07]

Yeah. I guess they released him to clear some cap space and then signed him to a restructured contract.

Yeah, probably...

[Reaganrattler07]

Raiders officially cut Kerry Collins after releasing him and then pulling him back. I think the Raiders are almost ready to pull the trigger on the trade for Daunte Culpepper after releasing Collins.

I don't blame'em....I'd rather have Culpepper....

[TexasRed6x]

I don't blame'em....I'd rather have Culpepper....
I agree. Culpepper is way better than Collins not only is he younger than him, he has been to the Pro Bowl on many occasions and knows how to put up big numbers in a season.

[Reaganrattler07]

I agree. Culpepper is way better than Collins not only is he younger than him, he has been to the Pro Bowl on many occasions and knows how to put up big numbers in a season.

But Collins has a ring doesn't he? But Collins I think is kinda past his prime. Plus, you got the Culpepper-Moss.

[TexasRed6x]

But Collins has a ring doesn't he? But Collins I think is kinda past his prime. Plus, you got the Culpepper-Moss.
Yeah he does. That's the only thing that Collins has on Culpepper. Plus that combination of Culpepper-Moss is deadly in the air.

[Reaganrattler07]

Yeah he does. That's the only thing that Collins has on Culpepper. Plus that combination of Culpepper-Moss is deadly in the air.

Yeah, and in some circumstances, I'd take the guy with the ring. But he is past his prime. Although I don't think Culpepper-Moss are what they were. I think they'll be pretty good but not the same deadly threat they were in Minnesota.

[TexasRed6x]

Yeah, and in some circumstances, I'd take the guy with the ring. But he is past his prime. Although I don't think Culpepper-Moss are what they were. I think they'll be pretty good but not the same deadly threat they were in Minnesota.
Yeah and I think that Culpepper has suffered without Moss their being his go to guy in Minnesota when he left for Oakland. Burleson and Marcus Robinson didn't do so well as the replacements for Moss so I think that Culpepper should get his game back if he goes to Oakland to be with Moss.

[Reaganrattler07]

Yeah and I think that Culpepper has suffered without Moss their being his go to guy in Minnesota when he left for Oakland. Burleson and Marcus Robinson didn't do so well as the replacements for Moss so I think that Culpepper should get his game back if he goes to Oakland to be with Moss.

He's also got a pretty good guy in Porter and the potential of a pretty good running game.

[TexasRed6x]

He's also got a pretty good guy in Porter and the potential of a pretty good running game.
Yeah. Porter came on at the end of last season and LaMont Jordan was a huge surprise last season.

[Reaganrattler07]

Yeah. Porter came on at the end of last season and LaMont Jordan was a huge surprise last season.

Although I'm still mad at Norv Turner for what he did New Year's eve......grrrr....."I haven't been able to run all game so when i'm on the goal line, i'm gonna run all four downs!"

[TexasRed6x]

Buccaneers release QB Brian Griese.

Guess Chris Simms is the future.....

[TexasRed6x]

Guess Chris Simms is the future.....
He was pretty impressive last year leading them to the playoffs. Cadillac Willams really helped his offense as well as Joey Galloway who had a huge year last season.

Post No 1200.

[Reaganrattler07]

He was pretty impressive last year leading them to the playoffs. Cadillac Willams really helped his offense as well as Joey Galloway who had a huge year last season.

Post No 1200.

Congrats on 1200.

I think Reggie Bush will be a little similar to Cadillac. Everyone thought Cadillac was too small, but he started out good and then just wasn't too good after like Week 5. Joey Galloway was pretty good.

[TexasRed6x]

Congrats on 1200.

I think Reggie Bush will be a little similar to Cadillac. Everyone thought Cadillac was too small, but he started out good and then just wasn't too good after like Week 5. Joey Galloway was pretty good.
Thanks Reagan. Hope to be up there with you soon. I agree with you on the fact that Bush may be similar to Cadillac but with a little bit more speed and agility. Cadillac was getting off to a good start at the beginning of the season but that injury really slowed him down and he struggled with it the rest of the season and he is looking to bounce back next season. Galloway came out of nowhere last season surprising us all with 83 receptions for 1,287 yards and 10 TD's last season and is looking to improve those numbers next season. I think that the Bucs will be one of the sleeper teams next season with Cadillac and Galloway heading a good offense.

Lol, I hope to see you up here with us. Yeah, Bush will be faster and more agile. And will most likely line up in the slot quite a bit. I think the Bucs being good is predetermined they'll be a sleeper to go deeper than they did. Man....free agency starts in a little under an hour.....I can't wait.

I can't wait either. Man just seeing those big names going across the espn ticker just make me really excited. I wonder where Edgerrin James will end up as well as Jamal Lewis and T.O. and I wonder if the rumored Daunte Culpepper trade to the Raiders will happen.

It might happen. Free agency is unpredictable.

Plus the Redskins need a WR to help Santanna Moss carry the load.

[Reaganrattler07]

Definately. They also need someone to replace Arrington. I wonder if anything's happened lately....

The Panthers signed RB DeShaun Foster to a 3 year deal to kick off free agency.

The Buccaneers sign FB Mike Alstott to a 1 year deal.

[TexasRed6x]

The Bengals release DE Dwane Clemons.

[Reaganrattler07]

The Buccaneers sign FB Mike Alstott to a 1 year deal.

I think he should just retire....

[Reaganrattler07]

Givens signs with the Browns

EDIT: Cancel this out, turns out it's untrue.

[TexasRed6x]

Vikings sign WR Koren Robinson

[Reaganrattler07]

Browns are going after a few O-Lineman.....Bently and a guy outta Atlanta I think.

The Texans should be doing that....

I don't think the Texans can lure a good free agent to their team since they don't have the winning reputation yet.

[Reaganrattler07]

I don't think the Texans can lure a good free agent to their team since they don't have the winning reputation yet.

True......

John Clayton just reported that the Skins are going after Archuleta(sp) S, Carter DE, Randle-el WR, AND Brandon Lloyd....

[TexasRed6x]

True......

John Clayton just reported that the Skins are going after Archuleta(sp) S, Carter DE, Randle-el WR, AND Brandon Lloyd....
WOW. Let's just hope they can lure at least one of these guys. Maybe two.
Reagan, I like the Redskins. I am a cowboys fan but just because of DeMarcus Ware, Marcus Spears, Julius Jones, and Jason Witten. Those are my favorite Cowboy players, but I like the Redskins better. I like Clinton Portis, Chris Cooley, Santanna Moss, Mark Brunell, Jason Campbell, LaVar Arrinton(when he was there but is now gone), Chris Samuels, Marcus Washinton, Sean Taylor, Shawn Springs, and Carlos Rogers. Those are my favorite redskin players.

[TexasRed6x]

Browns are going after a few O-Lineman.....Bently and a guy outta Atlanta I think.

The Texans should be doing that....
The Browns sign Bently and that guy from Atlanta OT Kevin Shaffer.

[Reaganrattler07]

Lol, Portis is my favorite....ya gotta love the guy. I think "The Danny" has sent his plane to go pick up all these guys and bring them to Washington. I hear the Lloyd deal is almost complete and may be executed tomorrow. Archuletta(sp) and Carter I think we can get....I'm just not sure about Randle-El.....

Off the field, I think Bledsoe is a pretty decent guy. He's into history (like I am).

[TexasRed6x]

Here are the top 10 free agents (on offense and defense as of right now) and their old teams as well as their new teams.

Offense
1.Shaun Alexander RB (SEA)-Signed with Seattle 8-yr $62 mil
2.Steve Hutchinson G (SEA)
3.Drew Brees QB (SD)

7.Jon Runyan OT (PHI)
8.Reggie Wayne WR (IND)-Signed with Indy 6-yr $40 mil

10.Julian Peterson LB (SF)
Well Bently is off the market

[Reaganrattler07]

The Browns sign Bently and that guy from Atlanta OT Kevin Shaffer.

Yeah, there you go. But really, the Texans should've gone after them. I think the Texans have much more potential than the Browns....

[TexasRed6x]

Lol, Portis is my favorite....ya gotta love the guy. I think "The Danny" has sent his plane to go pick up all these guys and bring them to Washington. I hear the Lloyd deal is almost complete and may be executed tomorrow. Archuletta(sp) and Carter I think we can get....I'm just not sure about Randle-El.....

Off the field, I think Bledsoe is a pretty decent guy. He's into history (like I am).
I love Portis. I selected him in my keeper draft and will keep him for next season with Steve Smith and Cadillac Willams. If the deal for Lloyd is complete, the Skins have found their second starting WR. I would get rid of Patten when Lloyd comes to the Skins.

[TexasRed6x]

Yeah, there you go. But really, the Texans should've gone after them. I think the Texans have much more potential than the Browns....
Yeah that is true. The Browns do have a good RB in Droughns but I give the edge to the Texans with Davis and possibly next year with Bush(if they select him). In the WR spot, I give the Texans the edge over the Browns because Andre Johnson has had more experience that Braylon Edwards since Edwards is only coming into his second season. At QB, I have to give the edge to the Texans because Carr is younger than Dilfer and has a better team built around him.

[Reaganrattler07]

I love Portis. I selected him in my keeper draft and will keep him for next season with Steve Smith and Cadillac Willams. If the deal for Lloyd is complete, the Skins have found their second starting WR. I would get rid of Patten when Lloyd comes to the Skins.

And if Randle-el comes, then James Thrash may be released.

Recievers Washington doesn't need: Jimmy Farris, Antonio Brown, TAYLOR JACOBS (grrrr). Patten or James Thrash will be kept for #4.

[Reaganrattler07]

At QB, I have to give the edge to the Texans because Carr is younger than Dilfer and has a better team built around him.

Yeah, I still think Carr is better than what people give him. Andre Johnson is pretty good but they may need a reciever or two to help him. Davis and Bush would make a devastating backfield. But none of this can go without an o-line.

I also think McNair is also a little like The Danny in terms of spending money....

[TexasRed6x]

And if Randle-el comes, then James Thrash may be released.

Recievers Washington doesn't need: Jimmy Farris, Antonio Brown, TAYLOR JACOBS (grrrr). Patten or James Thrash will be kept for #4.
Yeah I agree that Taylor Jacobs needs to go. He was only selected by the Skins because Spurrier was the coach and he liked Jacobs because he played for him while he was with Florida.

[Reaganrattler07]

Yeah I agree that Taylor Jacobs needs to go. He was only selected by the Skins because Spurrier was the coach and he liked Jacobs because he played for him while he was with Florida.

Florida Recievers = BUST

I swear, Jacobs is THE WIMPIEST guy. He left the Seattle playoff game cause of a headache!!!!! "well, migraines in my family history so i told coach, i can't play"

Yeah, that projects over....

When will Gibbs and Snyder realize that it is time to let this guy go? And besides what is he on the depth chart? 4th or 5th?

[Reaganrattler07]

When will Gibbs and Snyder realize that it is time to let this guy go? And besides what is he on the depth chart? 4th or 5th?

He was forced to move up to 2 or 3....i think they may just let him go after this year.

I found a good site talking about Washington's cap situation. And how they're gonna be able to pay for all this. http://redskins.scout.com/2/507127.html

Yeah Let's just hope that he is gone after this season.

[Reaganrattler07]

Yeah Let's just hope that he is gone after this season.

I hope so.....the only thing wrong with him is mentally. He's got the body(height and everything), speed, and he supposedly can make great catches. He just has no killer instinct.

[TexasRed6x]

Yeah and he is not getting any playing time whatsoever and he is a hell of a talent.

[Reaganrattler07]

Yeah and he is not getting any playing time whatsoever and he is a hell of a talent.

He got plenty of playing time....he just didn't get anything done.

Lol, there were a bunch of rumors on www.extremeskins.com

I also remember during the season and watching him and going "Wow...I want that guy". Then I ehard he was a RFA and my hopes got up a little. And then I heard all the news surrounding and kinda got excited. And now I'm really excited about it....

Let's see how he does in his first season as a skin.

[Reaganrattler07]

Let's see how he does in his first season as a skin.

If Moss has a repeat season, and Lloyd becomes a little consistent....watch out. Washington also lost it's TE today (Royal) which isn't that big of a loss. They may be interested in Dan Campbell from Dallas.

Yeah Royal went to the Bills right? Cooley should be the Tight End instead of the fullback. I think that they will have a good combination with Moss and Lloyd as the WR's and I think that both will have a good season if they stay healthy and are consistent.

I agree, and thats maybe what Saunders will do. Move Cooley to TE, Sellars to Fullback, Moss and Lloyd and of course Clinton in the backfield.....and hopefully Jason Campbell at Quarterback.

[TexasRed6x]

Yeah I wonder what they will do with Campbell. They have to start him sometime. They didn't take him 17th overall for nothing.

[Reaganrattler07]

Yeah I wonder what they will do with Campbell. They have to start him sometime. They didn't take him 17th overall for nothing.

No they didn't. And I really like Brunell but I don't think he can repeat. You could see he wore down at the end of the year and the knee injury he sustained in the game against New York really messed him up. I didn't watch a lot of preseason last year but I heard Campbell played pretty well, and Gibbs said at the end of this previous season that "if he was forced to play, he probably would've done good". I can see Campbell playing a lot in preseason and then Gibbs/Saunders will determine at the start of the season I'm assuming.

[TexasRed6x]

I hope that they give Campbell a chance and rest Brunell. I want to see what Campbell can do at the pro level.

[Reaganrattler07]

I hope that they give Campbell a chance and rest Brunell. I want to see what Campbell can do at the pro level.

Me too....there was a Washington reporter in the lockeroom when this MASSIVE man just walked by him and he was like "Who is that?" And the guy he asked leaned over and whispered "That's Jason Campbell". I also heard he shoots Lasers across the field and very accurately, too.

Well if he is good in terms of accuracy, he should start. Brunell struggled with that toward the end of the season.

[Reaganrattler07]

Randle El was supposedly had a pleasureable trip to DC. Of course, The Danny paid for dinner, awesome seats and I think Cooley and Campbell were there to sweet talk Randle El as well as Archuleta and the others.

[Reaganrattler07]

Well if he is good in terms of accuracy, he should start. Brunell struggled with that toward the end of the season.

Yeah, cause of the knee injury, Washington will never admit it but Brunell was hesitating on every one of his throws, he tried to apply little pressure on his leg.

[TexasRed6x]

No wonder why he ended up in a slump and I didn't know he had a knee injury.

Yeah, it happened after the second Cowboys game against the Giants. A lineback came in low and hit him square on the knee and hyperextended it a little bit. Even worse was it was the knee that had been reconstructed. Ramsey then got a few snaps and ended up throwing a 70-something yard TD pass to Moss (the play was all moss though, it was a pretty bad pass from Ramsey).

Yeah that play really confused the Cowboy defense. After Brunell came back from the injury he didn't have a good second half of the season. I had him on my fantasy team this year. I picked him up off of the waiver wire the first week and he was on fire. I had Aaron Brooks and Kurt Warner. Both of those QB's were injured and inconsistent and luckily for me Brunell was my only option. I managed to get to the championship game with him but I lost That was my dad's team. My fantasy team was a salary cap league and you were ranked by how many total points you had. I had Peyton Manning, Mark Brunell, LaDanian Tomlinson, Larry Johnson, Steve Smith, Hines Ward, Joe Jurevicius, Antonio Gates, Neil Rackers and the Bears defense. And I ended up winning my league with 1,999 points 1 shy of 2000 man I was so mad.

No, Brunell got injured in like game 14.

No, Brunell got injured in like game 14.
But he was healthy enough for the playoffs right?

So they claimed.....a few people wanted Ramsey to play the last game (Brunell was injured in game 15). Portis was pretty banged up too at the end of the season as well.

[TexasRed6x]

Portis had a good season after a slow start and people were asking Gibbs to start Ramsey and I guess that Brunell kinda got mad and had the season that he had last season.

[Reaganrattler07]

Portis had a good season after a slow start and people were asking Gibbs to start Ramsey and I guess that Brunell kinda got mad and had the season that he had last season.

There is nothing worse than an injured Brunell. Ramsey just.....isn't that great of a quarterback. He finds some way to f something up. Portis was getting banged up from blocking (he's an awesome blocker) as well as running into the line. It was his shoulders more than anything.

I think that the Redskins will trade Ramsey this offseason. There has been rumors that they might trade him to the Dolphins or Jets. And I also think that Portis may bust out with a 1500+ yard 10+ TD year next season after his strong play in the second half of the season.

It looks like you maybe on to something Reagan. Maybe Archuleta and Randle-El may be playing for the Redskins next year. I don't know free agency is unpredictable like I said earlier.

[Reaganrattler07]

I'm on the fence with Randle El though.....chances are he signs with the Bears. I think Archuleta may go with Washington. Apparently The Danny had four limos arranged. Gregg Williams was also present apparently.

Andre Gurode - G - Cowboys


Cowboys re-signed C/G Andre Gurode to a one-year contract.
He looks likely to compete with Al Johnson for the starting center position. He can also backup guard.


Akin Ayodele - LB - Jaguars


Free agent LB Akin Ayodele visited with the Cowboys Saturday.
He'd be a natural fit because of his size and connections to Irving, Texas.

[SVite]

Anthony Weaver - DL - Texans


Texans signed DE Anthony Weaver, formerly of the Ravens. The 25-year old reportedly will get a signing bonus over $10 million, one of the more surprising figures of the day. Weaver is a better run defender than pass rusher.

[SVite]

Adam Vinatieri - K - Patriots


The Boston Herald quotes an unnamed agent that Adam Vinatieri will sign with a team other than the Patriots this weekend.
The Packers and Cowboys are logical fits, but it's believed New England will have a chance to match any offer. We suspect they will in the end.

[SVite]

Edgerrin James - RB - Colts


Edgerrin James attended Saturday night's Suns game with newly signed Cardinals DT Kendrick Clancy.
Despite Dennis Green's claims about not wanting big-name free agents, it looks like they want Edge signed before he leaves the state. It's an intriguing match and we can't think of a team other than Baltimore that would offer similar money.

[SVite]

Drew Brees - QB - Chargers


Drew Brees will make his scheduled visit to Miami Sunday and should make a decision about his future by Monday.
The Saints and Dolphins are the only two candidates at this point. It's believed New Orleans can offer more money, although Miami can probably offer a better chance to win.


Daunte Culpepper - QB - Vikings


Dolphins coach Nick Saban flew to visit Daunte Culpepper Saturday.
The Vikings won't let teams do medical evaluations before trading for Culpepper, which hurts his stock. While Miami has been hesitant to give up a second-round pick, look for them to make a move if they lose out on Drew Brees.

[SVite]

Sage Rosenfels - QB - Dolphins


Sage Rosenfels has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $7 million contract with the Houston Texans.
The deal includes a $2 million signing bonus and has yet to be confirmed by the Texans. Any slight chance the Texans had of taking a quarterback at the top of the draft is gone. They are set with David Carr and Rosenfels.

Reggie Bush - RB - Player


Any slight chance the Texans had to take a quarterback at the top of the draft is gone following Sage Rosenfels' signing.
Houston has plenty of money invested in David Carr and Rosenfels. Houston will still entertain trade offers, but they will select Reggie Bush if they keep the pick.

Anthony Weaver - DL - Texans


DE Anthony Weaver's contract is for five years and $26.5 million, including a $12 million signing bonus.
The new CBA and salary cap room has created a whole new structure of player contracts. Above-average defensive starters like Weaver are practically guaranteed to receive $10 million in a signing bonus.


Robaire Smith - DL - Texans


Robaire Smith will move to defensive tackle in Houston's new defensive scheme.
Robaire Smith, Travis Johnson and Seth Payne will rotate at tackle. Gary Walker will be released.

Travis Johnson - DL - Texans


Houston's 2005 first-round pick Travis Johnson will move to defensive tackle in 2005.
It's his natural position. He will be asked to pressure the passer while his bigger teammates occupy blockers.

Jeb Putzier - TE - Broncos


The Texans are expected to bring Jeb Putzier in for a visit.
His free agency courting has been delayed because his wife just had a baby. He'd be an interesting receiving threat in Gary Kubiak's offense.

The last few years of the contract are inevitably inflated and useless, so I still want to see what Randle El earns in the first 3-4 years. It's still pretty hard to believe a wideout without a 650-yard receiving season earned $10 million guaranteed. But he will throw at least 2 td`s!Thats about 5 mil,per:D

Well, everyone thinks it may be a problem with a RB or QB but the line opens holes or opens up blocking patterns for the RB and the line protects the QB and gives him time for throws.

Mike Anderson - RB - Ravens


Ravens signed RB Mike Anderson to a four-year, $8 million contract. The deal includes a $2 million signing bonus.
Baltimore still needs to add a tailback and this contract indicates Anderson is comfortable being a backup. Whether he competes with Jamal Lewis or a rookie for carries remains to be seen. Anderson is a good fit for Baltimore's power attack and is still capable when called upon, especially in short-yardage situations.

The Lions didn't tell Jon Kitna whether he'd be their No. 1 quarterback when he visited Sunday.
He's headed to New York to meet with the Jets and it looks likely he'll end up competing for a starting job with one of the teams.



Josh McCown - QB - Cardinals


Josh McCown will visit the Lions Monday.
It appears either Jon Kitna or McCown will compete with Joey Harrington for the team's starting job in 2006.

LaVar Arrington - LB - Redskins


LaVar Arrington left New York without a contract offer from the team.
He has the Poston Brothers handling negotiations, which is sure to prolong the process. Arrington has visited the Dolphins and Giants thus far.

[SVite]

Chukky Okobi - C - Steelers


Steelers signed C Chukky Okobi to a contract extension through 2009.
He took a paycut in base salary to get a multi-million signing bonus. Okobi is the heir apparent to Pro Bowl center Jeff Hartings.

Duce Staley - RB - Steelers


Duce Staley is expected to complete his contract restructuring Monday.
He will make roughly $2.5 million, a $1 million paycut. He will probably handle short-yardage duties behind Willie Parker.

[SVite]

David Thornton - LB - Titans


Titans and former Colts LB David Thornton have agreed to a five-year contract worth roughly $22.5 million, including $8 million in bonuses.
This is a bargain compared to the Will Witherspoon and Bart Scott deals. Tennessee, like the Colts, wants speed at linebacker and Thornton qualifies as a classic overachiever. The team still needs a middle linebacker, but Thornton and Keith Bulluck make a fine outside pair.

[SVite]

Matt Leinart - QB - Player


The Saints didn't rule out drafting a quarterback if they sign Drew Brees.
What else are they going to say? There's no way New Orleans could invest two monster contracts at quarterback. They would probably be open to trading down and drafting D'Brickashaw Ferguson or Mario Williams.

[SVite]

Jamal Lewis - RB - Ravens


NFL Network's Adam Shefter reports that Jamal Lewis will re-sign with the Ravens for three years and close to $25 million.
The Mike Anderson era lasted 12 hours. This contract ultimately looks like a one-year contract worth $6 million. Lewis is still young enough to bounce back from his health and attitude problems.

[SVite]

Steve Hutchinson - G - Seahawks


Profootballtalk.com reports that the Vikings included a "poison pill" that will make it very difficult for the Seahawks to match his offer sheet.
Hutchinson's 2006 cap number is either $13 million or $8.5 million, depending on the source. But the Vikings deal reportedly "contains a provision that makes the entire deal guaranteed if Hutchinson at any point becomes anything other than the highest paid player on the team." With Walter Jones around, this would hypothetically guarantee Hutch's $49 million contract.

[SVite]

Damione Lewis - DL - Panthers


Panthers signed DT Damione Lewis to a two-year deal worth $6-8 million.
Carolina is loading up on defensive tackles, which makes us think Kris Jenkins may be cut. They now have Jenkins, Lewis, newly signed Maake Kemoeatu, Kindal Moorehead, and Jordan Carstens on the roster. At this point, Lewis is a reserve.

[SVite]

Dexter Jackson - DB - Bengals


Bengals signed safety Dexter Jackson to a four-year, $7.6 million contract.
The seven-year veteran has bounced around since winning the Super Bowl MVP and projects as an average starting free safety. Average would be an improvement for the Bengals. Madieau Williams should start at strong safety.

[SVite]

Antonio Bryant - WR - 49ers


49ers signed WR Antonio Bryant to a four-year, $15 million contract, including a $5 million signing bonus.
The good news? He's a No. 1 receiver. The bad news? He's on the 49ers. Alex Smith needs to improve greatly for Bryant to break 1,000 yards again.

[SVite]

Chad Brown - LB - Patriots


Patriots released LB Chad Brown.
It's the first rumbling out of Foxborough since free agency started. The move will save New England $1 million against the cap. The former Seahawk and Steeler should get a reserve job, but he was overmatched in New England's schemes.


Willie McGinest - LB - Patriots


The Patriots haven't contacted Willie McGinest since releasing him.
McGinest expects to play elsewhere in 2006, although teams have hardly been beating down his door. ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli wrote a 1,500-word favor for Willie's agent Monday to let suitors know he won't take less money to remain a Patriot.

[SVite]

Corey Bradford - WR - Lions


Lions signed WR Corey Bradford to a four-year, $7.4 million contract, including a $2 million signing bonus.
Huh? Perhaps the Lions are planning on ditching Charles Rogers, but they still have Mike Williams and Scottie Vines behind Roy Williams. Bradford will play a Kevin Johnson-like mentor role as a reserve receiver. If nothing else, this should prevent Matt Millen from drafting a first-round wideout.

[SVite]

Brian Finneran - WR - Falcons


Falcons re-signed Brian Finneran to a four-year contract.
Terms are not available, but the Falcons outbid the Eagles for his services. Finneran will remain a useful No. 3 receiver behind Roddy White and Michael Jenkins, possibly passing Jenkins if the kid doesn't improve.


Omare Lowe - DB - Falcons


Falcons signed safety Omare Lowe to a two-year contract.
Lowe was a restricted free agent. He was a solid special teams performer for Atlanta in 2005.

[SVite]

Akin Ayodele - LB - Cowboys


Cowboys signed LB Akin Ayodele to a five-year, $17.5 million contract. The deal includes a $5 million signing bonus.
Ayodele was productive in Jacksonville, but the coaching staff always hoped for more. The former third-round pick is made for the 3-4 defense because of his size. He played defensive end in college.

[SVite]

R.W. McQuarters - DB - Giants


Giants signed CB R.W. McQuarters to a three year, $6 million contract.
The deal includes a $2 million signing bonus. The eight-year veteran isn't much of a starting cornerback but the G-Men need all the secondary help they can get.

[TexasRed6x]

David Thornton - LB - Titans


Titans and former Colts LB David Thornton have agreed to a five-year contract worth roughly $22.5 million, including $8 million in bonuses.
This is a bargain compared to the Will Witherspoon and Bart Scott deals. Tennessee, like the Colts, wants speed at linebacker and Thornton qualifies as a classic overachiever. The team still needs a middle linebacker, but Thornton and Keith Bulluck make a fine outside pair.
Man my Colts are loosing good guys like crazy. First Larry Tripplett, Edgerrin James and now David Thornton. :mad: I think they will not do as well as they did last season this upcoming season.

[TexasRed6x]

Redskins sign LB Andre Carter who was with the 49ers last season.

[Daniel Agnew]

I am curious to see where Brees ends up, I think Miami will be the best place for him, they are on the rise & New Orleans is turning into a graveyard.

Brees to New Orleans and Culpepper to Miami....

[jtk1519]

My Jags signed former Texas OT Mike Williams.

Drew Brees - QB - Saints


Saints signed Drew Brees to a six-year, $60 million contract, including $10 million in guarantees.
It came down to guaranteed money and the Dolphins didn't budge. We think it's a great move for a Saints franchise that doesn't have time to rebuild. Brees' signing impacts Joe Horn, Donte Stallworth, and Deuce McAllister, who should all benefit from the absence of a rookie (or Aaron Brooks) at quarterback. The offense may not run as well as San Diego's, but Brees can remain a steady fantasy option. His shoulder is expected to be ready for the season. Expect New Orleans to shop the No. 2 pick in the Draft now. Mar. 14

[SVite]

Todd Collins - QB - Redskins


QB Todd Collins has agreed to a two-year deal with the Redskins.
Somehow we think this quarterback transaction will get overlooked Tuesday. Collins will act as a tutor for Jason Campbell and be the No. 3 quarterback for the Redskins. Mar. 14

[SVite]

Daunte Culpepper - QB - Vikings


The Dolphins have agreed to send a second-round pick in exchange for Daunte Culpepper.
The deal is still pending a physical. Drew Brees' pricetag was too high or perhaps Miami preferred Culpepper all along. He's a riskier bet than Brees, but seems like a better fit for Miami's vertical offense. Minnesota is just happy to get a first-day pick. Since Culpepper's knee may prevent him from playing until training camp at the earliest, the Dolphins will probably try to keep Gus Frerotte as a backup. Miami is likely to talk contract with Culpepper soon. Mar. 14

[SVite]

Kevin Mawae - C - Jets


The Titans announced the pending acquisition of C Kevin Mawae Tuesday, formerly of the Jets.
The deal is pending a physical, so it's not quite official yet. But GM Floyd Reese talked about the signing during David Givens' presser. Mawae fills the spot left by recently departed C Justin Hartwig and should help shore up a Tennessee offensive line with a few moving parts. Mar. 14

[SVite]

Kalimba Edwards - DL - Lions


Lions re-signed DE Kalimba Edwards to a five-year, $20 million contract, including $8 million in guarantees.
Cleveland wanted him his an outside linebacker and the Raiders wanted to talk to him, but neither team would have matched a deal like this for a situational pass-rusher. Edwards has 20 career sacks in four seasons. Mar. 14

[SVite]

Jon Kitna - QB - Lions


Lions signed QB Jon Kitna to a four-year contract.
Terms aren't yet available, but we expect Kitna to challenge Joey Harrington for the team's starting job. Kitna makes way too many mental mistakes

[SVite]

David Givens - WR - Titans


Titans signed WR David Givens to a five-year, $24 million contract, with an $8 million signing bonus.
He should send Antwaan Randle El a thank you card. Givens was torn between re-signing with New England or becoming a potential No. 1 wideout in Tennessee. When Randle El moved the receiver market up, Tennessee responded with the most cash. We see Givens and Drew Bennett sharing No. 1 duties for the Titans. Mar. 14

[SVite]

Matt Schobel - TE - Eagles


Eagles signed TE Matt Schobel to a five-year contract, including a $1.8 million signing bonus.
The signing bonus is a bit surprising.

[SVite]

Mike Williams - T - Jaguars


Jaguars signed T Mike Williams, formerly of the Bills, to an undisclosed contract.
The Florida Times-Union suggested Williams would provide depth behind Khalif Barnes and Mo Williams. He could challenge for a starting job in time with Mike Tice lending a hand. Mar. 14 -

[slorch]

looks like the Saints got their man from Austin...

Drew Brees for 6 years

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kerry Collins - QB - Raiders


The Ravens have been in no hurry to sign Kerry Collins.
A Baltimore Sun write opines that the team may be waiting to see if Steve McNair becomes available.

[SVite]

Keyshawn Johnson - WR - Cowboys


The Cowboys have to decide whether to release Keyshawn Johnson before a $1 million roster bonus is due Wednesday.
"I assume I am getting my money," said Johnson. We would too. He's still productive and his salary is reasonable. Mar. 14

[SVite]

LenDale White - RB - Player


The Broncos are expected to take a running back early in the NFL Draft and could have their eye on LenDale White.
Teams like the Cardinals, Ravens, and Vikings have filled their tailback needs in free agency. White, who would seem to fit Denver's style, may last until the end of the first round when Denver selects.

Finally....I don't know what the heck took this guy....
