The #Patriots deal for DE Chris Long is 1-year, about $2M, source said. When he said he only cared about winning, he meant it.

 

Also, Trawick is a Raider and Chris Givens signed with Eagles.

Wow. Never knew the guy was so versitale.

Rams never should've cut him. Better than anyone they have on the roster

New player I've never heard of?

[GrimCoconut]

I hate the Patriots and their moves. I can't wait for Brady to retire and that franchise burn. Yeah, I admit it: I'm salty.

Yeah if they can retire and the bandwagoners go find a new team to bandwagon off of, that'd be great.

[JO_75]

Vikings beef up their offensive line, literally. Signed OT Andre Smith to a one year deal.

he's good LT and not sure it's worth it but it is surely one of the most needed position in football.....

If he can stay healthy, I think it is a good deal...

He is a proven LT for 10.5 mil but KO started LT with only 5 game but paid 12mil per year....

Good player, no question but injuries are definitely a concern. Hasn't played full season yet.

[allblackraven]

Ah, that's more like it - there's a security blanket for Denver:

 

 

 

Jason La Canfora Verified account ‏@JasonLaCanfora

Russell Okung's deal with Denver is essentially 2 contracts in one. He gets $5M guaranteed for 2016 w/chance to make up to $8M in incentives

Then Denver has a window after the season to opt to pick up an option for a 4yr deal (2017-2020) worth $12M/year w/$20.5M guaranteed...

[52520Andrew]

#Jaguars signed LT Kelvin Beachum to a 1-yr, $4.5M deal… with a 4-year option worth $40M, source said. Creative with Beachum off an ACL

Interesting, exactly the same type of deal as Denver and Okung.

Seahawks O-linemen seem to be getting a ton of money this year. No clue why that is

Yeah can't believe the deal Sweezy got. Never been even an average guard and yet getting 6.5 mil per year.

He had a great second half of the season in pass blocking terms

Maybe he did terrible in the first half of the year and did good enough in the second half to get that. 

[ludy51]

Yeah. It states from weeks 11 to 13 he was the 4th ranked pass blocking RG. Not that that's nearly enough to justify a 6.5 mil contract but still

[JO_75]

- The 49ers have signed former Jaguar Guard Zane Beadles to a 3-year $11.75M deal.

- The Denver Broncos have now put Ryan Clady on the Trade Block.

- The Jets & Fitzpatrick remain at a standstill. They have offered "backup money" and will not increase their offer.
