Whoa, not all that surprising I guess but still.

Packers fans wanted off-season moves. They got them today. Going to sign TE Jimmy Graham. Going to release WR Jordy Nelson. Wonder how Aaron Rodgers feels.

McCown's a one year deal but it seems like he's not ready to step aside yet. Teddy's waited to recover and prove himself healthy. what happens if McCown plays well again? does he have the assurance that he's retiring or whatever to Teddy?

Teddy and McCarron are now looking at Buffalo differently...

Malcolm Butler signs a 5-year/$61M deal with $30M+ guaranteed. Wow

 
John Brown to the Ravens(1/$5) could be pretty sneaky. He was pretty good up until this year. He's an upgrade from Mike Wallace in my opinion, and there are a lot of targets available there.

Flacco can throw a long ball as well...

 
Ravens agreed to terms with WR Ryan Grant, formerly of the Redskins, on a four-year, $29 million contract.

The deal contains $14.5 million guaranteed, including a $10 million signing bonus. This is a real head-scratcher and reeks of desperation from GM Ozzie Newsome, who promised to overhaul the receiving corps, only to whiff on every other big name available. Grant, entering his age-28 year, came into 2017 with 39 career catches for 412 yards and two scores before "breaking out" for a 45-573-4 line last season. He's the new default No. 1 receiver in Baltimore.

I always though this guy was OK in Washington....that looks like a lot of money......

 
Cards got Glennon to back up Bradford. Pretty nice insurance policy there. Cardinals should be much improved at QB from last year post-Palmer.

 
Sounds like Dion Lewis lands with the Titans.  Super complementary players there.  Henry outweighs him by 50 pounds.

Hope Bradford stays healthy for FF.  Will make Fitz a great 5-6th round value again this year.....................

Ravens then give a 4/$29 to Ryan Grant. Grant was a mediocre #4 WR in Washington.

Maybe its time to take Grandpa Ozzie's keys away?.

Odd signing...nice depth guy who has had some moments but that is a decent payday for him...just feels like Baltimore can't truly figure out that side of the ball...

These mid to lower end WRs are getting paid.  Richardson, Wilson and Grant all seem like over pays. 

Goodwin at 20 million for 3 years seems like a bargain now.

The free agent dollars seem more and more crazy every year.  Le'Veon has to be sitting there watching this thinking, "well, if they can't pay me someone else sure can."

Moncrief, Cole, Dede, Lee... Not horrible but not a number one guy among them. Good thing they have a great defense and RB.

Wonder if these mean they won't draft a QB this year. But that's really not a great duo.

Didn’t Bradford set the league record for completion percentage two years ago? Seems like a low risk/high upside signing to me.... Glennon, eh, not so much.

 
This one is even more baffling than the coin thrown at Paul Richardson and Marquise Lee:

Ryan Grant to Ravens for 4 years/$29 million, including $14.5 million guaranteed and a $10 million signing bonus.

Might have made more sense if it was the ex-Packer RB Ryan Grant.

$20M on a one year deal to a guy who is rarely healthy doesn't seem like a lot of upside to me. 

If he stays healthy and plays great he basically earns his money for this year but the Cards are left either paying him even more on a longer deal or losing him after the season. If he gets injured like he seemingly always does, then they vastly overpaid.

The only way it makes sense is if they think they have a legit shot at a Super Bowl this year and know that it's a 1 year window before Fitzgerald retires and they have to do a total teardown and rebuild of the team.

Arizona seemed like a good landing spot for Nick Foles since he has ties there.  They probably figured, why trade something of value for Foles.  I'd venture to guess that they are using Sammy Sleeves as a one-year stop gap.  Then sign Foles next year.

With y/c equal to Brock osweiler.

I guess it's a fine one year signing but like I said, not a great duo (not horrible but easily the worst in the division, by a lot).

Obviously they weren't going to have one of the better QBs in the division, but this seems like the worst their 3 options, possibly only done to appease their HOF receiver.

Carlos Hyde to Cleveland 3yrs/15mil.... Le’veon can go screw.

Interesting signing...nice bang for the buck...can't picture him wanting to go there if Barkley was on his way...would not be surprised to see the Niners focus in on McKinnon...they must not of had too much interest in bringing Hyde back as they have cap space and this is not a big deal...

Jeremy Hill intrigues me...he had a rough go the past few years in Cincy but is still young...would like to see him get a Blount type of opportunity....
