Alex Marvez of the Sporting News reports the Broncos are interested in free agent Danny Woodhead (ACL).
With a big need along the offensive line and perhaps money set aside to pay Tony Romo, it would be somewhat surprising if the Broncos focus on running back in free agency. Woodhead will likely be relatively cheap coming off ACL surgery, however, and brings something different to the backfield than C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker. The Chargers are also interested in bringing back Woodhead, who is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehab
Told Tampa is the leading contender for DeSean Jackson. Other teams are in play, but#Bucs are the preferred destination.
CSN Chicago reports the 49ers, Jets, and Bills have all dropped out of the bidding for free agent Mike Glennon.
Dial in those 0.4 FP/game till the end of the decade!
Yeah not an entirely exciting signing since he hasn't done anything in AZ since he signed there. Went from about 60 receptions to 30. I think there is some sleeper value potentially but nothing real exciting since AZ doesn't seem to want to use their TEsDial in those 0.4 FP/game till the end of the decade!
Somewhere there's a Gresham owner in a 64-team league dancing for joy at this news...
Jeffery wasn't coming back anyway. Meredith and White should be able to fill in just fineIf true, then the deal is already done. You're correct, that makes him a Bear and looks to immediately lose his best receiver.
Seems like a minor deal but given the state of the Redskins receivers(at least until Doctson gets up to speed) and the way Davis played last year it is a pretty big deal for that team and I would argue for Cousins fantasy value.Slow day and this a minor deal but Vernon Davis just resigned with Redskins.
Might speak to their concerns about Reed's concussions and injuries. Kind of surprising, though, since I thought they liked Niles Paul who is just rotting away on the bench.Slow day and this a minor deal but Vernon Davis just resigned with Redskins.
If they wanted they could always split Paul out wide - he was a converted WR.Might speak to their concerns about Reed's concussions and injuries. Kind of surprising, though, since I thought they liked Niles Paul who is just rotting away on the bench.

Brandon Marshall and NY Giants reach agreement on a two-year deal, per source. Marshall doesn’t have to move, now plays with Eli and OBJ.
I think it hurts him (fantasy) for this season since Marshall should see a ton of targets but doubt it hurts his development,Wow. How does this impact Shepard's development? Eli with a ton of weapons at wideout with OBJ, Marshall and Shepard.
feel free to move it to the thread for thatThis isn't really a tampering rumor for Marshall. He was cut and free to sign whenever.

Even with interest he has generated, it now sounds like Buffalo is the favorite to land Baltimore'a Pro Bowl FB Kyle Juszczyk, per sources.
I think it helps OBJ. Having Marshall underneath will provide more opportunities for some big plays.I think this helps Eli's value but hurts the value of OBJ, Shepherd, and Marshall who could have been option 1 on another team.
I think they just like Vernon a lot more the the other backups, he played really well last season, evolved his game into becoming a strong blocker and for Vernon he's from the area and I think wanted to remain. Win/Win.Might speak to their concerns about Reed's concussions and injuries. Kind of surprising, though, since I thought they liked Niles Paul who is just rotting away on the bench.
People always want to think this, but it's doubtful to play out like that. He's going to lose significant targets if Marshall is still halfway decent. Teams will still be giving safety help to the CB1 covering OBJ. Nobody wants to give up the big play. They'll just wait for Eli to throw a pick over the middle when targeting Marshall. I'll be surprised if OBJ get 150 targets if Marshall plays 16 games.I think it helps OBJ. Having Marshall underneath will provide more opportunities for some big plays.
Well, his main role is the slot, so it won't hurt his development at all. His targets, however, will be another story. He'll be lucky to get 90 now.Wow. How does this impact Shepard's development? Eli with a ton of weapons at wideout with OBJ, Marshall and Shepard.

Rapsheet: Glennon to the Bears 'all but done'
I'll take the over. Those two on the outside will open things up for him. Expect Eli to be back in the low 30's TD wise as well. I see it playing out something like OBJ=145-155, Marshall=105-115, Shepard =100-110Well, his main role is the slot, so it won't hurt his development at all.

When Pierre Garcon finalizes deal with 49ers, as expected, league sources believe he will make $16 million in first year.
Wtf is Lynch doing?? That's insane. Garcon isn't worth half that. They should've just kept Torrey for $8M or whatever he was getting paid. He's probably better than Garcon AND half the price. Things could be getting hilarious in SF if this keeps up.
You don't get the second pick in the draft by making smart decisions...maybe he can buy Torrey Smith's house...Chris Mortensen

I guess they do have a ton of cap room (like $94MM) and front loaded the contract (since it points out $16MM in his first year). Still a poor use of resources.Wtf is Lynch doing?? That's insane.

I hope you're right, but as a Shepard fan, I'm not optimistic and will no longer be targeting him in redraft. I thought he was going to make the jump to 120 targets this season with Cruz gone. Maybe I overreacted with the 90 prediction, but it's hard to make the numbers work. Marshall didn't come to the Giants for 105-115 targets.I'll take the over.

I agree $16M crazy for Garçon. I do not agree they should have kept Torrey Smith. He has been an utter bust.Wtf is Lynch doing?? That's insane. Garcon isn't worth half that.

I agree he probably didn't go there for 105-115 targets but I'll bet that's about where he ends up. 18-20% market share sounds about right for him as the WR2 in that offense. Giants didn't break the bank for him, paying him WR3 type money. Perhaps Elis attempts push to 620-640 range in that offense with 3 legit targets now and still no clarity at RB?I hope you're right, but as a Shepard fan, I'm not optimistic and will no longer be targeting him in redraft.

If the lock is officially shot off the wallet to meet a spending floor, why not sign Alshon at that price point? 4 years younger and we know the upside he presents - if he can stay healthy.So the Lynch era begins with inking Kerley to a 3 year $10M deal and committing $16M to Garcon in year one, and they don't even have a QB.
With those WR they will have QB's beating down the door.So the Lynch era begins with inking Kerley to a 3 year $10M deal and committing $16M to Garcon in year one, and they don't even have a QB.
49ers signing Alshon isn't just their decision. It's possible they could throw money at Garcon while Alshon isn't interested.If the lock is officially shot off the wallet to meet a spending floor, why not sign Alshon at that price point? 4 years younger and we know the upside he presents - if he can stay healthy.
I see that and agree, it's just a staggering amount of money for a guy who's now 31 and over the last 3 years and Cousins averaged 73/857/4.49ers signing Alshon isn't just their decision. It's possible they could throw money at Garcon while Alshon isn't interested.
