    We should start hearing some possible players we may have serious interest in. Brandon Graham is drawing interest from several teams including NYG. Anyone else hearing anything?

    And... We hear crickets as usual. Last year was kind of a big thing for us FA wise, though outside of Moats I don't think we struck any type of gold. We'll see what happens but I don't see us doing anything out of the ordinary.

    They'd better hope this free agent mega deal works better than the last free agent they signed to a mega deal. What was that guy's name again???

    doubtful. More than likely the rules will be changed to heavily fine and neuter Suh

    Suh is the real deal, that other guy you mentioned is a fraud.

    Word is Julius Thomas to the Jags which will prompt Mercedes Lewis release. Think we will take a look at him?

    So was Albert Haynesworth when the Skins signed him to a mega deal and that didn't work out so well. These things rarely work out, the Reggie White to Packers deal being one of the few exceptions. I'm not sure why. Maybe it has something to do with team chemistry or the fact that the recipient of the riches all of a sudden gets lazy because they've gotten paid. But there's already questions being raised about how the Dolphins will be able to pay Tannehill. Pretty sure Suh can't play quarterback. At any rate, my prediction is that this mega deal will go the way of countless others over the years and won't work out as planned. Ask Dan Snyder how these things work.

    Quick hits- Philly has done some big things so far, but they lost McCoy and now Maclin! Wow. If Thomas ends up in Jax I would love Lewis. Give that guy a real QB and he can put number up, BIG numbers. Titans gonna sign JW. Looks to be reuniting with DL

    I think its more wishful thinking on your part, Jack, you just loath the thought of Wallace being on a winning team :lolol:

    Don't worry, he will probably be gone.

    And I'd take Suh over Haynesworth 7 days a week and twice on Sunday, guys a beast. Dirty but a beast.

    They're going to need some of Wallace's $$$ to pay Suh so I think he's gone too. Do you know how much releasing Wallace would free up for the Dolphins?

    Did a quick search, they could free up about 7 million if they cut him before FA starts but he will still count 5 million against the cap this year and their cap will take a hit in 2016 too.

    Haynesworth was a force in a 4-3. He is or was a DT not a nose The dumb Skins used him as a 3-4 nose. Yes he was a nut but he was a beast, a crazy one for the Titans.

    The start of FA is always crickets for us Steeler Fans. Brandon Graham might be gone. I would bring him in for a look see if he isn't signed tomorrow.

    I still would like to see Brice McCain back.

    During the first days of free agency, I believe more bad deals are done than good by a wide margin.

    No. He's been an underachiever his entire career, and he is likely to get hurt. Pass.

    Looks like the Ravens lost Jacoby Jones, McPhee and Torrey Smith. See what happens with Nagati.
