2015 NFL Off Season & Free Agency (Other Teams)

[JO_75]

Well, Larry is sticking around in the desert. I don't blame him. He's been on a competitive team. They certainly have a shot.

 

Or is this is a setup to trade him? No team was going to acquire him at a $23M price tag. With the restructuring he is now trade bait.

Couldn't another team just restructure him as well?

[JO_75]

Another long time Steeler in our historic rivalry is calling it a career. I know he was in Washington to finish his career but I think we all will remember Ryan Clark as a Steeler. He announced his retirement on ESPN.

Brandon Bostick? THE Brandon Bostick? Oh my...............

 

That play by him was so good, the Vikings decided to pick him up. So that he can screw up their.... well guess if he signs there he won't have a playoff game to screw up.

I'm starting to like ProFootballTalk more and more for one reason and one reason only: the comment section. Nothing but pure entertainment there....

Browns being the Browns...... showing interest in Josh McCown.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/18/report-browns-show-interest-in-josh-mccown/

Mccown is a better QB than anyone they have there now will ever be. And the fact is there are no QBs who can be better than a low end starter available to the browns.

[JO_75]

One FA is now off the market. The Chargers have signed LT King Dunlap to a 4-year $28M deal.

The Word at the combine is they will pursue a possible trade for Sam Bradford, and McCown is the backup option if they can't get Bradford. So it seems the Hoyer era is over and his replacements are a injury prone QB and one who helped Tampa get the number one pick. Again... Browns being the Browns.

Quality QBs don't exactly grow on trees.  Are there any better options?

[JO_75]

There is a report that either has been leaked too early or maybe there isn't a deal because Lynch's agent is denying it. It is being said the Seahawks are offering Lynch a 2 year deal that pays him $12M in 2015 and $9M in 2016. 

 

BREAKING: Per CBS Sports, Marshawn Lynch will sign a two year deal that includes $12M in 1st year, $9M in 2nd year.

Doug Hendrickson, agent for Marshawn Lynch, says "there is no deal done." I continue to hear SEA has offer on table that will result in deal

[JO_75]

While Lynch is maybe getting a new deal, another RB is being let go. The Panthers have informed DeAngelo Williams that he will be released.

Giants cut Mathias Kiwanuka with a failed physical designation

[JO_75]

The Steelers doing what they do best, restructuring to put themselves in cap hell years later. They have restructured OT Marcus Gilbert's contract converting his $3.15M roster bonus and $1.15M of his salary into a signing bonus. This created $3.724M in cap room for the Steelers.

Maybe we can get Larry, then sign Q and get the band back together.

What would you guys think of bringing in James Harrison on a 1 year deal?

 

Hear me out.

He could play the role that was McPhees at a much cheaper price and in my opinion at the same production level. 

In his first game against us he was blitzing from everywhere and he was doing great. I think he could do the same for us.

 

And he could spell suggs and doom every once in a while.

Harrison seems to only be that player for Pittsburgh. Furthermore, he isn't the same type of player as McPhee, who rushed the passer from the inside and edge.

NTM the domestic violence background.

Packers cut LB A.J Hawk. Have to wonder if this means Clay stays at ILB.

Lol, agree with not bringing him in (not the drinking lye)

Awesome news, the Steelers are deciding to stay in cap hell forever! Not only did Gilbert restructure his contract but S Mike Mitchell and Center Maurkice Pouncey is also restructuring their contracts.

 

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/02/25/steelers-keep-restructuring-contracts/

 

 

Also Broncos and Peyton Manning are talking restructuring of his contract. Due $19M, any cap relief by Peyton may help secure D. Thomas on the Tag.

Roos just retired.

Former Colts DE Ricky Jean Francois lands in Washington with a three year deal. The deal has a base value of $9 million with $4M guaranteed, and with added incentives to make it a $11.25M contract.

The Raiders are releasing S Tyvon Branch. Branch, due $5.5M has only played five games combined the past two seasons due to injuries. Seems Branch will be a candidate for a one year prove it deal with some team needing a Strong Safety.
