[Phicinfan]

Dolphins HAVE signed or agreed to with Albert Wilson Wr formerly of KC

Adam Schefter of ESPN reporting that Cousins will sign with Minnesota - Great, great move by Minny

 

[Remote Controller]

Update on latest and greatest:
1) Chiefs agree to terms with Sammy Watkins Wr - hmmm...not sure how this will effect Kelce and Hill.

Albert Wilson plus 5 inches. A perfect compliment to Hill and Kelce, not to mention Mahomes.

KC offence is looking very good. Mahomes will shoot up the FF draft boards.

Officially, Agent is saying they have only agreed to meet with Minny, but per Schefter and Monger - deal is 3 years fully guaranteed for $84 Million....Yikes

Still need help on O-line

Wow..less money than Jimmy G and Matt Stafford....really wanted to stay with the Saints I guess. Good for him!

I expected 22-23 $M listening to New Orleans talk radio but at least he didn't break the bank. It should leave us some room to play in the FA market. I do dread the first 2 years after Brees is gone though when his $$ will still be hitting our cap numbers.

Looks like it works out to 2yrs @ $31mil with $6mil "Dead $$" after that in "Cap Charge". Peanuts. Great move by Saints

$28mil/yr. I had expected a bit more

I appreciate the two sides working it out.

Redskins agreed to terms with WR Paul Richardson on a five-year, $40 million contract.

 

[Walter34]

wow, that is a lot for him. I thought he would be a good signing but not at that price.

ESPN Saints reporter Mike Triplett reports "at least one other team" was willing to give Drew Brees $60 million guaranteed over two years in free agency.

Brees re-upped with the Saints for two years, $50 million, "just" $27 million of which is guaranteed. Brees took a discount to remain with the franchise he's been with since 2006. Money aside, even if the $60 million team was the loaded Vikings, Brees probably made the right decision remaining in the setup that's made him a future Hall-of-Famer.

Thank you sir.

It helped that the better WR's already made deals leaving him the best available.

The Broncos have exercised Demaryius Thomas' $4 million option bonus.

It locks Thomas into $12.5 million between salary and bonuses in 2018.

Wonder if that means they will drop Sanders - by all reports they could not afford both

If so then I think they have made a mistake.

Eagles released TE Brent Celek.

Talks between Graham and the Saints have reportedly stalled.

Eagles released TE Brent Celek.

Just met him, My son's HS was the same HS he went to, and they had a big celebration for him and his brother, "retired" their lockers...and he had autograph session and all. This is sad.
