I'd rather the Colts make a move on OBJ instead of Bell.  Mack isn't a bad RB (don't own him).  Ballard won't do either.

They have Mack with a cap number of $1.5mm total for 2 years! 

Obviously Bell is the better player, but that money can be spent much much much better than on Bell.

Bills just added cole Beasley too. 

Zay and foster owners... sorry

Haven't seen the contracts yet, but Beasley seems like a better addition than Brown, Bills already had a bunch of deep threats. Sucks for Foster, pretty clear they thought his last season breakout was a bit fluky.

ETA: 3/27 Brown and 4/29 Beasley. Considering what other slot WR's have been going for, that seems like a great deal for Buffalo on Beasley.

Don't think the Brown news impacts Foster much.  He'd moved into a #1/intermediate role in the last four weeks of the season.  Targets up/aDOT down.  Brown will be deep threat and Beasley underneath guy IMO.  YMMV

Yep. On Schefter's Twitter. Wonder if Mark Ingram took the Ravens' offer after all?

L. Murray is two draft classes younger than Ingram. Going by stats, skill sets seem comparable. How's Murray as a pass blocker?

Ingram is only a month older than Murray.

I think the market for inside LBs who can cover is going to go up because of recent trends.  The latest offensive trend is to put pass catching RBs out there who are difficult for LBs to cover.  Inside LBs that can stop the run and still cover the backs are going to be in big demand.

Kwon can't cover anything.  He's awful and was a big reason why guys like McCaffrey and Kamara rip the Bucs to shreds.

He is ok.

I think Cook and McKinnon better at pass pro than him but he is ok.

Murray is a decent all around RB. He does better with his 1st 5 carries usually which isnt a bad thing. He can catch the ball.

Not much wiggle with him is his main weakness.

Being tall he isnt great at short yardage due to pad level but he can fall forward pretty far so it's a mixed bag.

I started off hating him but he won me over with some good play. He is worth what the Saints paid him.

@Andy Dufresne, any read about what kind of locker-room presence L. Murray has been for Minnesota? The Saints will miss Ingram's leadership, not just his on-the-field contributions.

Murray agreed to a pay cut last season. He seems like a fine person and player. He enjoyed competing with McKinnon and did not complain about losing the job to Dalvin Cook.

Not really understanding the signing of Murray over Ingram unless it’s purely a money thing.

Seems like it's purely a money thing.  They're paying less than half as much as Ingram's rumored deal for Murray.

There is also the possibility that Ingram wanted the chance to be a feature back one last time.

Likely both. Surely looks like a better combination of skill/price for the Saints on what is surely considered their RB2. At the same time, Ingram gets paid to be true #1 with proven mediocrity behind him in Baltimore. Seems good for both teams/players. 

 
Broncos former first round pick CB Bradley Roby is signing with the Texans for 1 year and 10 million, per source.

 
Former Rams' OL Rodger Saffold intends to sign a four-year, $44 million deal that includes $22.5 million guaranteed with the Tennessee Titans, per Schefter

 
Matt Paradis 3/27, this is one of the best moves so far. Paradis is a top-3 NFL center and was the best FA OL in my opinion. Big upgrade for Panthers. Broncos are really gonna miss him, he was arguably their best offensive player.

Coming off an injury though, right?  And all of the teams closest to him either passed or wouldn't give him longer than a 1 year deal.  Might be more to this one than meets the eye.

 
Just a random observation but what has surprised me a lot about this FA period so far is the lack of trades. I expected a few deals to go down. Maybe since they can't officially go down until Wednesday tomorrow will bring a few but so far pretty surprised at lack of trade action.

Everything I heard regarding Paradis is that the Broncos wanted him to stay with the team. Just yesterday I was reading about that.

He is a guy I was hoping the Vikings may take interest in because of Kubiak, so I am not sure why I never heard anything the Broncos not wanting him back.

Update?

 
Kwon's contract looks very solid for the 49ers if the reports are accurate. Only 14M guaranteed and it's mostly this year, so the team can get out of it easily if he doesn't return to form from his knee injury. (edit: source)

Oh, and Bell signed with the Jets, in case you live under a rock. :D

As usual Ballard (Colts) will probably only sign a few lower tiered FA's.  I suppose they are looking ahead to sign any up coming FA's from their own team.  All that cash and they never seem to use much of it.  However, I would rather they make sure to be able to sign their own players and not lose too many to free agency.

I really don't understand the move by Baltimore. They've got 2 RB's on rookie deals, who both averaged over 5 yards per carry last year in Edwards and Dixon. Ingram is approaching 30 and 5 million per year isn't cheap. 

On another note, its interesting the Ravens post-Ozzie, are still bringing in Alabama guys.
