NFL.com is reporting OT Branden Albert from Chiefs to Dolphins.

That was done half a second after free agency opened...Dolphins signed him for 5yrs/$46M

Adding whitener losing ward? That's no big improvement for the browns. Dansby has been playing better than Jackson. But for how much longer? Not impressed

Raiders saffold making more than veldeheer? Wow.

Trading young guys for old guys rarely works.

Jets are initial front runners to land Michael Vick.

Whitner:  $7 million per year

Ward:  $5.5 million per year

Huge win for Arizona. Tough for them losing dansby.

 

True that. At least for them, Veldheer filled a bigger need.

Holy... when you put it that way that deal looks even worse.

 

Linval Joseph to Minnesota.

Giants officially sign RB Rashad Jennings....and their backfield of subpar backs grows !

Jets are initial front runners to land Michael Vick.

If they were to land him it wouldn't be a bad signing. Vick would be a very good security option in case Geno Smith is injured and/or fails to improve upon his unimpressive rookie season.

Vick would have no problem beating out Geno for the starting job...if not YOU KNOW after 1 or 2 losses the Vick chants would ensue...causing the "Tebow Effect".

Run DMC back to Oakland.  1 year, $4M

I would like to agree with you, but Rex has been very reluctant to bench starters. He left Sanchez and Geno in for nearly all of the 2012 and 2013 seasons despite their crappy play.

Wonder who the Ravens will go after?

They are currently assessing Alex Mack, Julian Edelman, and Owen Daniels.

Id honestly hate signing any of them

 

1. Would be overpaid

2. Sucks - product of Brady

3. Reportedly cut for failing physical so definitely not

This tweet sums that up:

Why do the #Ravens get great deals for great players? Because people want to play for them. Bum teams pay extra....hence today's frenzy

[ravensdan]

Whitner got over $7 a year? Seriously? Browns are really dumb, they overpaid older players.

And cut Jackson?

Now they are about to pay revis 4 million more than the next corner? Makes no sense for a team so far away from competing. Good way to waste all that money.

Tampa on the other hand... I predict will win the south before they are even done. Off to a good start.

[Purple_ICE 81]

Ryan Mundy the next safety off the board...goes to Bears on a 2 year contract.

[JO_75]

Deals are flying in faster than CJ2K's 40 time here.... now can I update my Madden roster before the next signing.

People said that about Pierre Garcon while he was in Indy and he just finished up a 113 catch, 1,346+ yard, 5 TD season with the Redskins.

There are significant differences between Garcon and Edelman though.

Uhhh... hahaha

[Purple_ICE 81]

Jairus Byrd would get the tiniest contract with the Saints they have no cap room.

[MissK528]

Ryan Mundy agreed to terms of a 2 year contract with the Bears.

O-linemen and safeties...FLYING off the board

FS Jairus Byrd flying to New Orleans to visit with the Saints.

Doesn't make much sense. He now wants to play for free, considering their cap room?

[MissK528]

Also, not sure it was mentioned, but I think not...

 

Darren Sproles will likely be cut by the Saints.
