2015 Offseason/Regular Season Cuts, Trades, Free Agent Moves/Firings

I wanted to see Philben do well in Miami, and at least make the team competitive within their division. I won't root against them because of Suh, but I'm surely not going to root for them.

I just hate to see what this will do their salary cap.

Go figure. Guess it's because he's the prototypical N/S runner that Chip likes.

@AdamSchefter: Free-agent RB Frank Gore has told people he will sign this week with the Philadelphia Eagles, league sources told me and @caplannfl.

Tom Brady's leg just twinged.

... and there went the Vikings' bargaining power.  

 You forgot on paper. 

Didn't the Dolphins just go on a spending spree two years ago and got them nowhere?

@RapSheet: QB Mark Sanchez is heading back to the #Eagles, source said.

 

@MikeGarafolo: Mark Sanchez back to the Eagles on a 2-year deal worth $9m with $5.5m guaranteed, per source.

Also reports of Birds looking at Tramon to pair up with their newest free agent Maxwell.

Pelicans, Auks, Cormorants?

Way to go, Chip.

@mortreport: The Eagles' wild ride will continue: Jeremy Maclin plans to reunite with Andy Reid in Kansas City once free agent market opens Tuesday.

 

@mortreport: The Chiefs will have to clear salary cap space to get the deal done with Maclin. Most logical savings would be with Dwayne Bowe's contract.

Percy Harvin will be released tomorrow and supposedly the Packers and Patriots have interest. I believe the Patriots would, BB loves a good slot receiver and isn't afraid of the head cases, but this is not the Packers style. Attitude aside their MO is to groom young receivers to take over key roles, not bring in vet receivers off the street with no experience in the offense. I'm very skeptical of that rumor unless they're looking at him strictly as a returner maybe. Sounds fishy, but it might be an outside the box move that takes the offense to another level.

You don't believe the rumors???? But, they were so right about Cobb.

Wait, next? They don't give the trophy in the off season? What a sham.

Geese.

Are they African or Eurpoean swallows?

LOL, love it when you misspell words. One of the handful of folks who rarely do so.

Damn!  And I'm normally so careful. 

That having been said, I'm surprised you spelled "rumors" without the second U. 

It still looks weird to me without the "u" and I've lived in the States for 26 years.

The question Chip may be asking is if a team wants Marcus Mariota, or Nick Foles and picks.

Man...and we bitch about the money spent to keep Flynn.

@RapSheet: The #Patriots are keeping S Devin McCourty after a hard push from the #Jaguars, the #Eagles and the #Giants.

Some serious coin. Can they keep Revis?

@RapSheet: #Patriots S Devin McCourty will sign a 5-year, $47.5M contract, source said. Wow. And... turned down more elsewhere.

NE and GB interested in Harvin?  It barely made sense BEFORE resigning Cobb.  Now it makes less than no sense.  It makes negative sense.

How can NE afford anybody? As far as the Packers I can see them signing Harvin, I am not sure  though he would work for the NFL minimum.

You would have to think the Harvin move would be to improve special teams (returns) but that just does not seem like a GB move to me.  They usually steer clear of guys like that even though he's has a history of playing very well against them.

according to Jason Braddock tweet, the 49ers have put Kaepernick on the trade block. 

 

That franchise has the leadership of the Vikings. Wow! Maybe he goes to the Eagles. 

The Niners are supposedly going after Torrey Smith.  Not that I think Kaepernick is some great QB but who is going to throw the ball??

Well, as of right now:

@AlbertBreer: Crazy thing is even after the McCourty deal, the world champs only have one guy who's highest paid at his position -- and it's the kicker.

BB has been a leading proponent of the dictum "Better to release them 2 years too early than 2 years too late." Can't remember when Pats have had most expensive player at a given position. That and Brady's discount all add up.

@CharlesRobinson: If Colin Kaepernick is on the trading block, #49ers would take a $9,863,012 cap hit on the remainder of his signing bonus. This seems wild.

Seems pretty far fetched, but nothing will surprise me with those 2 egos. York & Baalke

@JasonLaCanfora: Rodney Hudson is going to Oakland. $44.5M on a 5 year deal. Someone taking the Raiders' money.

 

@JasonLaCanfora: Hudson turned down $6m a year from KC during the season. Chiefs hoped to keep him. One of top OL on market.

Wow. $9 mil/yr for a center. This comment is an understatement!

@JasonLaCanfora: Other OL will be pretty pumped seeing the Hudson deal. Should see more dominos fall for offensive linemen today.

wow. who? crazy season is upon us.  unreal.

What's that going to do to Bulaga's price?

       
       

McCarthy won't let harvin within 3 feet of his locker room

if you can believe anything out of SF, they're refuting the trade Squidward rumors.

from PFT:

After KBME radio in Houston reported the 49ers have put Kaepernick on the trade block, 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke issued a statement denying it.

“Colin is our quarterback and we are excited to have him,” Baalke said. “He is not going anywhere. The media reports suggesting otherwise are without merit and, quite frankly, ridiculous.”

The Hudson deal is just out of whack with the market.  Reggie must be desperate to spend $$ when he's got no homegrown guys to sign. 

Doubt its for 9 million per year. How much is guaranteed and how much is the "Monopoly Money" factor? Some of these numbers for players who aren't QB's mean squat. It lets the agent brag and puts a big bulls-eye on the players back where he either has to renegotiate or be axed. Then again it is the Raiders................

Sounds like the Hudson deal is really front-loaded, which is fine. He's one of the better young centers in the league and further guts a division opponent. KC's really strong O-line from a couple of years ago is completely gone now.

@AdamSchefter: Chiefs' deal with Jeremy Maclin will be worth $11 million per season, per source.

Lotta cushion for crazy.

@dkaplanSBJ: NFL expects total revs to top 12 billion, up 1 bil from '14, as local revenues gaining steam 4 1st time since '08

Damn it! Pernell McPhee to da Bears, 5 years/$40 million. Good signing.
