Sources tell ESPN.com that the Bengals and Steelers are showing interest in free agent Beanie Wells.About as good as it could get for Beanie (and FF owners) there.

Isn't BJGE there in Cincinnati?

Yes, but he probably wouldn't be if they signed Wells. (and then still likely drafted a RB)

Surely the Chachinator knows that he is.

I'd rather have Canty or Stephen Jackson...CB isn't really a position of need. All of this is wishfull thinking though based on Thompson's MO.

While you can never have enough CBs...more of a fan of drafting one 5th round or later.Can't play Williams, Shields, Nnamdi, and Hayward all at the same time very much.Only way they would try is if they had a deal for Tramon and signed Nnamdi cheap.Not really in favor of that either despite Tramon's struggles in tackling.

NOT A DONE DEAL YET.Free agent TE Martellus Bennett will visit the Bears.

Bennett tweeted he was "proud" to be joining the Bears, before clarifying it's just his preferred destination. Regardless, the smoke is billowing, and seems primed to turn to fire. The Bears are in dire need of a tight end who can actually catch passes.

NFL Network reported a done deal. Maybe they will clarify in a moment...

Very likely. Definitely possible for people to jump the gun trying to break news. Your source is probably better than mine.Just saw it is an "agreement in principle...so, "push"? LOL

The way these guys try to trump everyone in the Twitter age, you could be as right. Push is good for me...

Meh.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was just released

Ouch. That's a $10 million hit against the Bills salary cap. Retaining him would have cost them $10.5 million vs. the cap.

Quinn, Flynn, or any other guys that rhymes win "win" but will likely not make that type of effect...

So much for the Tony Moecki sleeper status - two average TEs = zero TEs for fantasy purposes.

ProFootballTalk ‏@ProFootballTalkNo surprise Bills released Ryan Fitzpatrick. They owed him $3 million tomorrow.

Jennings is on ESPN now according to Twitter...am not watching though.

Edit...apparently just saying he has destinations he wants and is enjoying time as a FA.

No real news.

True. Just another bump for all those lucky Jamaal Charles owners. One less quality target competitor. At least fasano can block a bit.

The Chiefs needed another TE and Fasano is a good blocker. I don't see him as much of a threat to Moeaki in the passing game.

Wallace reaches agreement with Phins. No deal inked just yet.

Could see him in NE if they trade Mallett.

So far in his career, Moeaki is the only threat to Moeaki in the passing game...

ProFootballTalk ‏@ProFootballTalkNo surprise Bills released Ryan Fitzpatrick. They owed him $3 million tomorrow.

The six-year, $59 million contract extension Fitzpatrick signed in October of 2011 turned out to be an expensive mistake — and a reminder that sometimes in the NFL, “six-year contracts” last less than a year and a half. If the Bills give this move a post-June 1 designation, Fitpatrick’s cap hit would be $3 million this year and $7 million in 2014.

Maybe, but he's a under-rated receiver.

Looks like the Chiefs just may have violated the Goodell edict about the legal tampering period. Two signings within a half hour.

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

IMO Fasano offers everythig Moeaki does and is a better blocker. One of those understated but solid signings that ought to give Chief's fans hope.

Nobody should paying any pick in the first two days for Mallett.

The Titans obviously had a plan by landing Andy Levitre, tight end Delanie Walker.

Walker to TN also?
