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

The difference between GB and NO.

 

"Saints kick the can down the road with Junior Galette

@RapSheet: Free agent shocker: Frank Gore reconsiders potential/pending deal with the #Eagles, I’m told. 

 

@AdamSchefter: Frank Gore has gotten cold feet on  signing with Philadelphia, as @RapSheet reported. Eagles now in market for other RBs. Indy wants Gore.

Wow. His agent is screwed if this deal falls apart. Teams won't want to deal with him.

At the moment of truth, The Packers front office decided that neither Chris Meyers nor Scott Wells was worth the contract's they were seeking in FA
Both wanted large, long-term deals and both got large, long-terms deals from other teams

Both centers, Chris Meyers and Scott Wells, were released this week after the fluff in their FA deals came due

 

How ironical; the extra money that caused them to take those deals- is the same extra money that got them cut. Just proves what my grandpa always said:

 

"never eat anything bigger than your head"

More good news for Coach Mumbles.

@dkurtenbach: 49ers FB Bruce Miller arrested for spousal battery. http://t.co/w1kTUnQX3c http://t.co/uxNxkZayzY

Why does it feel like their season is over?

Yeah, not signing Wells was a very wise move.

 

Of course, to set the record straight, think it has to be noted that to replace Wells TT signed a truly washed up Jeff Saturday for $3.5M and Saturday was so terrible he did not even last the 2012 season.

49ers will pick a QB with the 1st overall pick in the 2016 draft for new head coach Mike Shannahan. Mark it down.

Tears being shed in certain precincts of x4.

@RapSheet: After a hard push from #Seahawks (and #Raiders and #Broncos) TE Julius Thomas plans to sign with the #Jaguars tomorrow. Huge get.

 

@CharlesRobinson: #Raiders made a hard push for Julius Thomas today. With him off the board, Jermaine Gresham moves back up as a priority.

$9mm / yr is what is being reported. 

Now it's coming out that the 49ers may wind up cutting NaVorro Bowman, too (due to lingering health concerns, supposedly). He didn't play last year since he was still recovering from that horrible injury in the NFCCG, but they really need him back healthy next year to fill in for the loss of Willis. If he isn't on their roster next year, I'll have to adjust my prediction for the 2015 Santa Clara 49ers to 2-14.

Guess we know one of the teams picking an ILB in round before GB.

They need a lot more than just ILB.  Wow that team is imploding.  It is fun to watch.

 

After the Packers won the super bowl I vowed to never question anything TT does.  He has put together a team that will compete at least for another 4 years.  You never see the Packers make knee jerk moves like the rest of the NFL.  Steady as she goes.  We are truly lucky to be Packer fans,

They have Wilhoite and Borland already, so they're not desperate even on teh off chance Bowman isn't back.

@RapSheet: Even with a $16M cap number, it appears #Ravens & DT Haloti Ngata are status quo with his contract. Likely to remain unchanged at this point.

Seattle signs CB Williams.

 

No Bob, not Tramon, but former Eagle and Raven Cary Williams. At 6-1, 190, fits their mold as a bigger corner. 

@RavensInsider: Cary Williams' three-year Seahawks deal is $18 million, gets $7 million 2015, $5 million in 2016 and $6 million in 2017, according to source.

With all the **** that went down in Santa Clara yesterday plus the Packers signing Cobb, all my co-worker could do was flip me off .

I'm going to cry when TT retires.

From Andrew Brandt:

@adbrandt: Teams let agents leak inflated numbers to (1) help close deals and (2) sell to fans that they're spending big (even if a mirage).

Cary Williams to SEA? Not surprised.  

 

His Eagles nickname was "Sconces" because he skipped out of an OTA to decorate his new home. He's all about football...

 

"I don't want to sound like it's disrespect. I love my job," Williams said. "I just had to make sure my sconces, my wood was picked out, my fireplace … it was a whole bunch of stuff that was going on.

 

I guess House is headed to the Jags for 6,25 million a year.  Seems like a lot of money for him.

@AdamSchefter: Let's try this again: Frank Gore plans to sign with Indy, per source; deal expected to be similar to Philly offer: 3-years, $12M, $7.5M gtd.

Andre Johnson also visiting Indy today.

@AdamSchefter: And as @LanceZierlein also reported, Andre Johnson and Frank Gore scheduled to fly together from Miami to Indy on @JimIrsay's plane. 

Add Vince Wilfork for a mega-U reunion.

Murray removes "Cowboys" from Twitter bio

Lucas Oil Stadium...coke or Pepsi venue?

Uhm... I'm guessing oil.

Indianapolis Frackers?

@RapSheet: The #Saints have called around, open to shopping many of their players, source say. One notable player included: TE Jimmy Graham. For real.

 

@RapSheet: Jimmy Graham signed a 4-year, $40M deal last year. Has a $5M roster bonus due in 2 days. Clock is ticking for a #Saints deal.

cue 1... 2... 3...

Oh well.

@JayGlazer: Saints and Seattle have now agreed on trade sending jimmy graham and a 4 to Seattle for max Unger and a 1st.

That's nucking futs.  

The Saints are paying hard for going "all in"...

@WesHod: John Schneider sure isn't opposed to parting with those first-round picks #Wowza

Boy that sure sees like the Seahags are going all in...maybe they think they have a tight window too?

@bruce_arthur: Seattle's leading receiver last season: Doug Baldwin, 66 catches, 825 yards, 3 TDs. Jimmy Graham, injury-plagued: 85/889/10

Oh my.

@RavensInsider: Haloti Ngata traded to Detroit Lions, according to a source.

UNREAL!

God dammit...Lions getting Haloti and now Seattle getting Jimmy Graham. Ugh

Crazy, That tight window might be the realization once Russell Favre is paid, a lot of players can't be re-signed

 

Bears repeating...

 

That TT has a 20 mil dollar QB, retained Bulaga AND Cobb, entered FA 34 mil under the cap and produced a top 4 team is very impressive.

Can't say it any better

@TJLang70: Crazy trades going on right now!

Filed to ESPN: Rams close to trading QB Sam Bradford to Philadelphia for Nick Foles and draft-pick compensation, per sources.

JEEZUS!! It doesn't stop!

The most amazing thing about SanFran Sissy is how quick they're falling apart. Just a couple of years ago, they were pretty much on top o' the world, and probably having decent revenue from merchandise sales, Kaperdick and Hairball had TV commercials and publicity, and all looked rosy. 

Honestly, they have to try to be that bad. Makes no sense at all.

Have fun paying for that new stadium!

What offseason?

@AndrewSiciliano: By the way, for what it's worth, the Saints met with Jameis Winston at the combine. The Saints now have two first-round picks. That is all.
