2014 NFL Free Agents (2 Viewers)

[Sabertooth]

I'd love to see Green Bay sign a player.

 

[Insein]

Say what you will about Shefty, but he is killing it today.

This is his Super Bowl.

 

[Insein]

Have the Chiefs lost 3 offensive linemen?

Yes. Albert, Asamoha, and Schwartz.

They and the Panthers have taken big hits on their lines.

Danny Watkins is available.

Did you actually think they would on day 1?

Or should with most of these contracts?

They did resign Shields which was a bit of a surprise to me.

@AdamSchefter: Filed to ESPN: Denver has emerged as the favorite to land former Dallas DE DeMarcus Ware, per league sources.

DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller. Interesting.

Add in DRC and Broncos defense just got scary.

Not sure what's so funny. With the additions of Ware and Ward plus re-signing of DRC and a healthy Derek Wolfe back(potentially), Denver's defense would look rock solid on paper for sure

Add in a healthy Vickerson, Moore, Von, and Moore.

TJ ward would've been nice at a reasonable price. I get not overpaying and rewarding your own but at some point relatively soon Thompson needs to add talent to this defense.

 

[saintfool]

Steve Smith to Baltimore when he is released? Fits that team's personality if nothing else.

It looks good but it may not all mesh, remember how badly it blew up on the Eagles a few years ago. I personally like what they did even though I can't stand the Broncos

Agree on Ward as I said earlier. Surprised his deal was as reasonable as it was. Tt would have.likely had to go a tiny bit higher to get him.

TT wont act much in the early.parts. ever.

 

[Sabertooth]

Don't worry. McCarthy's going to get that cleaned up.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

So far, SF: gains Gabbert, Bethea and Martin.... loses Whitner and Rogers.

Wow, the $$$ are flying.

 

[Workhorse]

That's a crazy overpay for Talib.

 

[GroveDiesel]

How the heck does Denver have all that money?

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

With Don Brown on his way to SD, Indy seems to be leaving itself hanging with Trent, Bradshaw and Ballard. One of those guys has proved he can stay healthy and he averages 3.0 ypc.

 

[GroveDiesel]

And Talib to Denver is kind if hilarious after NE and Talib accused Welker and Denver of intentionally injuring Talib.

going all in on some rings with Manning - I imagine these contracts are light on cap hit early on. We'll probably see many of these guys be cut next year or the following.

Not overly impressed with DRC at this stage of his career. Even less so Ware.

However, it's starting to look pretty 'scary' with the addition of Talib though....

There's definitely some irony in this signing.

And/or backloaded for the post Manning seasons.

I don't see all these big name guys doing that. They are looking for paydays. They aren't going to sign contracts that are back loaded when they know they will never see those years. I am not aware of Denver's cap though so they were probably in really good shape. I hope this blows up on them though.

They do when the guarantee is enough.

I'm sure they gave them the guaranteed money they wanted. 26M guaranteed for Talib is a ton - but spread over 6 years? Little over 4 mil of that hits this year.

 

[ratbast]

Cant cut 26m guaranteed.

 

[sho nuff]

Denver going all out.

Will be blowing it up in coming years?

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Same money Gerhart got. Solid insurance for Mathews.

Donald Brown - RB - Chargers
Chargers agreed to terms with RB Donald Brown, formerly of the Colts, on a three-year, $10.5 million contract.
The deal includes $4 million guaranteed. With the Chargers already having Danny Woodhead and Ryan Mathews, this one is a definite head scratcher. Mathews is coming off a breakout year, while Woodhead is due just $1.75 million after another strong season. It's worth noting that Bolts GM Tom Telesco is the Colts' former VP of football operations. He clearly has a soft spot for "Dammit Donald," who seemed like a lost cause until picking up the pieces for Trent Richardson last season. He'll likely serve as a deluxe Ronnie Brown, catching passes and picking up blitzes, though he's never been a terribly effective pass protector.

[msudaisy26]

Ahh, I didn't see the guaranteed. Do they have enough money left to go after Ware still?

 

[ratbast]

OK now can the Pats please sign a corner or at least a DL/DE? I know they usually wait but i want to wake up happy!

 

[msudaisy26]

I understand why Donald Brown signed the deal, but what is San Diego thinking?

 

[Kraft...]

Local Boston sports radio will be blowing up in the AM.

 

[Insein]

Denver going all out.

They can sign Tebow to QB during the rebuilding years.

 

[lbouchard]

Sucks to see Talib go, but when Denver overpays that much, not much they can do. Talib's pretty happy though, that's gonna be like 1.5 million a game.

 

[Kev4029]

Ahh, I didn't see the guaranteed. Do they have enough money left to go after Ware still?

They had somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 million in cap space to start the day, I think.

 

[mr roboto]

I hate it when teams 'build' like Denver is now. Just seems cheap.

 

[ratbast]

Isn't Mathews a possible cut?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Did Talib ever accuse Welker of that? IIRC, Belichick was the one whining about it, not Talib.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Only due $1.9 mil. Imagine Donald will play Ronnie Brown role. And will be an upgrade if/when Mathews goes down.

 

[msudaisy26]

I agree. I also don't like them. I really hope this turns into the Eagles of a couple years ago. I doubt it will though Manning will lead them to at least 10 wins even if the defense sucks

 

[Matty2D]

I understand why Donald Brown signed the deal, but what is San Diego thinking?

Isn't Mathews a possible cut?

Definitely not. He is in the final year of his rookie year and had a great season when given full opportunity down the stretch last year.

 

[domvin]

I understand why Donald Brown signed the deal, but what is San Diego thinking?

Isn't Mathews a possible cut?

I think mathews has one year left on his deal. Gives sd some leverage going into next offseason with woody and brown. Mathews is as good as goneETA. GONE next offseason

 

[Steed]

So when is the wr market gonna open up?

Really? I know they are both former first rounders but before this signing I was higher going into 2014 on Mathews than I ever was on Brown
