NFL Offseason Rumours and Updates

[shiznit]

We paid a premium because we didnt make a long term investment. Basically we want him for 1 year, MAYBE a second whilst we groom a young QB, and the cost of getting him to agree to such a deal is over paying him.

As long as we come out of these two years with a young franchise QB, it will be money well spent

I think short term deal or not... they really paid what they paid because they didn't want him to hit free agency... With the strong demand for QB's it would have been even more expensive to get into a bidding war for him.

Alex Mack had opted out of his contract with the Browns. He could re-sign but he's officially an UFA now.

 

[shiznit]

Wow.... Just popped up on my screen at work that Roddy White was cut by the Falcons.

 

[shiznit]

Wow... I didn't realise he was 34....

 

[zombie jesus]

Wow... I didn't realise he was 34....

I bet the Pats bring him in to have a look at least.

A sad day indeed but inevitable, has definitely lost a step and wasn't being utilised in Shanahan's offense. Hopefully gets a couple more years though, somewhere other than the NFC South

 

[Shorty]

The financials have been released, it's effectively a one year deal, Shorty. We can cut him in 2017, take a 4m cap hit and save ourselves about 9mil. No one in the NFC E is going anywhere in 2016 so it doesnt particularly matter

I guess it was a no choice situation.
I think the Redskins could improve, I must be like the only person in the world that rates Cousins.

Chargers cut Butler and Brown

6 mil in dead money on the butler contract or something

yay chargers

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Things heating up now with free agency looming.

Butler cut by Chargers, Foster cut by Texans, Johnson cut by Panthers, and Carr is expected to be released by the Cowboys soon.

Eagles Trade Alonso and Maxwell to the Dolphins for undisclosed Draft picks.

 

[Tom155]

Amazed Eagles got someone to take Maxwell's deal

Trading for Maxwell & apparently releasing Grimes WTH Dolphins?

+ Murray traded to the Titans apparently

Eagles cleaning house

 

[zombie jesus]

They don't want to be reminded of that nasty ex, get rid of everything!

 

[Tom155]

Colts keep Dwayne Allen, new 4 year deal.

 

[nick87]

What ever we got for those deals is an absolute bonus
Those are straight up, old school NBA salary dump trades, clearing the decks for the good of the future

Getting anything back for Maxwell and Murray given their salaries is a real win for Roseman
Eager to see the compensation, likely going to be 2 or 3 day three picks

 

[shiznit]

Malik Jackson > Jags - 15M per season

Osemele > Raiders - 11M per season

not a surprise at the size of these deals as these 2 HAVE to spend this free agency in order to get up to the minimum cap spend or face sanctions from the league.

 

[abpanther]

Man Jackson got paid!!

 

[shiznit]

Mario Williams > Dolphins - 8M per season

JPP staying with Giants on a 1yr deal

 

[abpanther]

So has FA actually officially started?

I thought it doesn't actually start till later today

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

"Legal tampering" period.

Signings can't "officially" be announced until Wednesday (their time)
