2016 Early NFL Roster moves

[Phicinfan]

Baltimore extends Qb Joe Flacco for $44 million, over four years...Yikes.
Eagles re-sign FA Qb Sam Bradford for 2 years and $36 million - really Yikes...

Atlanta has released Roddy White, which is a shame.
N.E. has released TE Scott Chandler and Wr Brandon LaFell - looks like Wr roullette again this year in N.E.

Looks like Peyton Manning does not want to retire, and may force a cut to get to FA.....

New Orleans has released Wr Marques Colston

 

[Phicinfan]

Reported that Texans will release Arian Foster - wonder if this means there will be a first round Rb taken...

 

[Phicinfan]

Panthers as expected released Charles Johnson DE

 

[Phicinfan]

more cost saving moves:
Panthers also cut Dwan Edwards DT
Houston also cuts Garrett Graham TE and rumored that Rahim Moore S will also be cut
Ravens release Daryl Smith Lb

 

[Phicinfan]

More moves coming:
Denver announces that Peyton Manning will retire, formal celebration on Monday
Miami restructures Suh's contract and releases Greg Jennings to make more cap room.

Report in Denver is it is no lock Osweiler is the next Qb, not sure if he wants to play the market or what....

 

[Phicinfan]

RGIII is officially released
Rumor of trade talks between Philly and Miami for Cb Vernon Maxwell

 

[Phicinfan]

So we know now that Philly had dealt DeMarco Murray to the Titans.
Also, Indy has signed Te Dwayne Allen for $29.4 Million over 4 years

for those questioning the Eagles decision to pay Bradford....and I was one of them....it makes a whole lot more sense now...
Rumors are flying that Denver and Jets are having a terrible time signing their Qbs, due to need in the league and lack of depth in the market. It actually may lead to a huge $$$ contract for RGIII at this rate. Jets have called Fitz' bluff and won't go as high as he wants. Osweiller supposedly has his agent pushing for delay to get the $$$ greater.

Denver went from super bowl to possibly no QB in a matter of one off season. Gotta love the NFL.

 

[Phicinfan]

Wow, Eagles are really divesting the Chip Kelly era - rumor also has the Eagles sending LB Kiko Alonso and Cb Byron Maxwell to Miami

and they have made it known that Rb Ryan Matthews can also be had...

Wow, they are really cleaning house, and cutting cap hits....this is amazing..but who the heck will run the dang ball next year??

 

[JScott]

Sproles! (Hired Guns) :hyper:

 

[Phicinfan]

As an Eagles fan, that scares me a ton.

 

[Phicinfan]

So Miami is being very, very active.

First they rework contracts for Suh and LB Misi, then they will acquire by trade Alonso and Maxwell from Philly, add to that they just reworked Cameron Wake's deal to make more roster room....with rumor of it being to sign Mario Williams DE formerly of Buf. Also just reported on ESPN they have restructured Jordan Cameron as well...

IF they can get Grimes worked out, they could be solid, but it looks like they are walking away from rb Miller and Wr Rishard Matthews.

 

[Phicinfan]

Oakland has come to agreement with Kelechi Osemele, to fix O-line issues.
