The Free Agency Thread

[Amy]

Marty signed for 3 years/18 mil. Really?? We couldn't match that? We've got the 5th most cap space in the NFL and let Logan and Marty walk for well under market deals?

I like the moves we have made, but, still....

Maybe that means we're making a monster deal for Hightower!

I might be crazy, but I think I'd rather that the Pats had resigned Logan Ryan at 3 years/$30 million than signing Stephan Gilmore at 5/65, with 40 guaranteed. Gillmore is a better CB, yes, but Logan knows the system, and we could use that extra 35 to try and extend Butler, sign Hightower and keep Marty Bennett.

We have lots of cap space this year, but the Titans deal to Ryan came in cheaper than I expected and I'd rather have seen us bring him back.

I think you are right. Ryan also has a tendency to play full seasons. I don't get this one.

Ealy is a quality player. Hate to see him go. I'm not sure what's up with the Panthers sudden waive of nostalgia. I'm expecting a Muhsin Muhammad announcement any second now. The Mike Adams signing is ok, but you know your defensive backfield is in trouble when you're signing dudes from the Colts.

I just saw the Patriots - in addition to moves to bring in WR Brandin Cooks and CB Stephon Gilmore - have traded a second rounder for CAR DE Kony Ealy.

I think if you were able to watch SB XLI - absent scores and Peyton Manning lovefest highlights - you could have made the argument Ealy should have been given consideration as the SB MVP over Von Miller.

Methinks TB & BB know their partnership is in its waning years, yet the Pats are making moves which indicate the Pats intend to continue to win for a long time.

Impressive.

Tuesday's moves:

Atlanta signed WR Andre Roberts.

Arizona signed LB Jarvis Jones.

Chicago resigned K Connor Barth.

Cincinatti signed OT Andre Smith.

Dallas signed G Jonathan Cooper.

Green Bay signed CB Davon House.

LA Rams K Greg Zuerlin.

Minnesota signed DL Datone Jones.

New England signed RB Rex Burkhead.

New Orleans signed LB Alex Okafor. They also met with CB Malcolm Butler, which may be a prequel to a head scratching trade that has me mystified.

Seattle signed RB Eddie Lacy.



WR Percy Harvin announced his retirement.

The Rams signed Buffalo's backup center to an offer sheet for twice what Buffalo was likely to want to offer him. Oops. Fortunately Nick Manhole is a free agent.
