2015 NFL Off Season & Free Agency (Other Teams)

[ratedr]

From 49ers GM:

 

@MaioccoCSN: GM Trent Baalke strongly denies the 49ers are shopping Colin Kaepernick.

 

 

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora

Reached out to several QB-needy teams. Have yet to hear from one who has had talks with 49ers about Kaepernick for those asking

 

So this means they are shopping him lol. Every time they deny, it means the opposite lol. Plus La Canfora is full of it lol.

La Canfora is the Mike Carey of NFL Reporters. Whatever he says, you can be sure the opposite is true.

 

And Trent "Jim Harbaugh is our coach" Baalke denying it...yep, Kaep is definitely on the block.

And people were saying Flacco was overpaid???  GEEZ...  Suh in Miami...  Yes, the Phins do it again...  Severely overpay to get a player...  Ridiculous.

[The Mom Gene]

I'm having a hard time thinking of successful free agent signings when a team "broke the bank" on 1 player; can anyone think of one?

 

I mean, 6-years for $114 million? Geez, Miami...

 

Ndamukong Suh is not worth that much! Not to mention, this is the same franchise (albeit under a different GM) that overpaid for the likes of Mike Wallace, Brian Hartline and Darnell Ellerbe. Yeah; how did that turnout?

 

Teams are built through the draft! How some teams still try to build through free agency amazes me...

yup...THAT  ----^

[The Mom Gene]

Well we know where Kaep would go if he had a choice lol

 

I would love to see them trade him....  LOLOL...  Now after posting that pic...  Wouldn't that be hysterical?

[ludy51]

Wait. Wasn't FA supposed to start Tuesday? Because it feels like it already has

[Sizzlebshu]

Bears signed McPhee

40 mil with 16 guaranteed. Good signing for Chicago and they didn't break the bank

[The Mom Gene]

Bears signed McPhee

Unlike Miami...  Seriously though....  I still cannot believe that they gave Suh $114M

[Gordo52]

Wow!! Patrick Willis may be retiring

[redlobster]

what will Mcphee mean for a comp pick? 4th?

[redlobster]

Poor Torrey Smith (not financially though), leaving a solid organization like Baltimore with a top notch qb for a dysfunctional place like SF where he might or might not be catching baseball throws from Kapernik.

[redrum52]

Willis and Justin Smith set to retire

[52520Andrew]

Parnell got 5 years 32 mil with the Jags, big get for them at RT

 

Clarence Hill ‏@clarencehilljr  1h1 hour ago

Former Cowboys OT Jermey Parnell to Jax for five years at roughly $6.5 per year, per source. Big man got paid. He is a backup no more.

[berad]

Is Willis retiring because of his injuries, contract disputes, or the weirdness surrounding the 49ers organization?

[52520Andrew]

Guess we will find out, certainly big news though

[The Mom Gene]

The weirdness of the Niners is causing all kinds of dust up.

Hey but atleast he'll be making bank though, cause that's all that matters right? The money? Not playing for a stable team that can be contenders for many more years?

I understand it's a buisness, but you mean to tell me players would rather go to unstable or crappy teams just to make more money, instead of playing for a contender that has a shot at the SB almost every season? Makes me wonder how many of these players are really that smart...

[JO_75]

Man, go to bed, wake up and all hell breaks loose in the NFL. 

[JO_75]

Derek Carr is going to get some o-line help in Oakland. The Raiders reach agreement with C Rodney Hudson on a five year $44.5M contract.

[PolishRifle]

Boy... that escalated, quickly. I mean, the 49ers really got out of hand, fast...

 

In other news, Brian Hoyer will join Ryan Fitzpatrick (who's returning) and Ryan Mallett in Houston, as all 3 will compete for the starting Texans QB job.

 

O'Brien is waiting for Hackenberg in next years draft.

[JO_75]

The League is beginning investigations into any violations regarding the reported agreements made with players. Remember, this was a NEGOTIATING period only. Teams have took it upon themselves to agree with deals with players when they aren't supposed to.

Per Schefter.

Insane money, considering he got a larger contract than Alex Mack

The nfl wanted this when they set up this 3 day window for "legal tampering" , i think its exciting.

[JO_75]

Jaguars sign DT Jared Odrick to a deal worth $27M. The Jaguars have already signed Julius Thomas and RT Jeremy Parnell.

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

All the desperate teams are throwing the "Big Bucks" around and it's not even Tuesday yet. The Dolphins do this every year and they've won what? Stupid teams spend stupid money and run up the price for the rest of the league. Then again I root for a team that just get's it done, and yeah, it hurts some time, until the playoffs come! There ain't no "I" in team but there is a "ME"! Just sayin'!

He's won a chip and his name is l ready in the Ravens records books for his shirt career here. Time for him to secure his financial future. Can't be mad at him.

[allblackraven]

My boy Steve Paea going to DC:

 

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000477444/article/stephen-paea-says-hes-headed-for-redskins

 

No details on contract yet but with Phee signing, good opportunity for Bears to draft Shelton and start moving to 3-4.

Securing his financial future? Really? The guy will be making millions, and baring some freak horrible injury, that's MORE than enough to secure his financial future. Most people in this world would be just fine getting by with a million or two let alone a couple million. I'm not mad at him, I just find in ridiculous how players feel they need all this money and would rather choose that sometimes over winning. Heck if I played in the league winning would be more important than my paycheck, cause at the end of the day, wins speak more than how much money you make. I could make hundreds of millions to play on a team but if keep losing and not getting anywhere I would be ticked off and could care less that I'm making 100 million dollars. Don't players play to get to the Super Bowl anymore, or is a SB win second to money now? I know he has already won a ring, but how about pushing for more rings?
