Wow.

$18 mil/yr after starting just 7 games? Not bad for a local kid from Kalispell, MT.

Prices are getting ridiculous. Surely the bottom has to fall out sometime?

1. Loser

2. False, 22.1 > 18 mil per year although 18 mil per is crazy high. I think the Saints got him in the Forum Mock for half that. That is saying something

22.1 may be > 18 but Flacco >>>>>>>>>Osweiler

Yeah I'd take Flacco at that price over Osweiler any day of the week. Will be curious to see what the guarantees are going to be.

Texans replacing Brooks with Allen

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet  44s45 seconds ago

#Texans expect to sign OL Jeff Allen, more offensive help with a lot of holes to fill.

yep, grew up here and played his high school ball at Flathead before going to Arizona State where he met Elway's kid. If not for that connection, he'd have probably never been drafted, let alone gotten to where he is now.

The #Rams are closing in on a deal to keep DE William Hayes, source said. That's a key piece.

Haha what are all these Flacco haters going to say now about over paying him.  Economics 101

Oh come on now. Flacco was carried by the entire team during our Super Bowl run. He only threw for 11TDs with zero INTS. Get over yourself. Dude's a scrub.

We need more alpha males on this team.

This seems too sad on the opening of FA. Even for Ravens standards:

Money for Brock Osweiler is a bit staggering, but that's what it took to land him on four-year, $72 million deal, $37 million guaranteed

[MTRavensFan]

NFLN reporting that Brock "got his feelings hurt" being benched wk. 17, felt he had earned the starting job going into the playoffs, and "clearly did not want to be in Denver."

I'm willing to bet Elway promised to start him going into the season, never expecting Peyton to come back, much less come back taking a pay cut. Then they benched him for the playoff run, and now they're using the excuse "well he hasn't proven himself for top-tier money" to justify letting him go.

Once again, Elway lying through his teeth. Welp, karma's a you-know-what, John. Hope you're happy with Krapernick.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will officially be a free agent, and it seems the #Jets have kept things at arm's length. He'll be a free agent.

Wonder how much he is going to get paid considering how much Osweiler got...

I literally laughed when I read this. Didn't he commit like 3 turnovers in that game? As for Kaepernick, SF apparently "reiterates" that he isn't open for trade. So it looks like RG3 it is...

[52520Andrew]

Ivory getting paid a ton as well

Aaron Wilson ‏@AaronWilson_NFL  17s18 seconds agoView translation

Chris Ivory Jaguars deal: $32M, $10M gted, $5M bonus, salaries $2M, $4.5M, $5.5M, $6.75M

Wonder if he got 8 mil per, like it was reported he's looking to get?
