    1. Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals: $23.6 million

    2. Percy Harvin, Jets: $10.5 million.

    3. Brandon Marshall, Bears: Marshall's $7.5 million salary becomes fully guaranteed if he's on the roster by the third day of the league year -- March 12.

    4. Vincent Jackson, Buccaneers: $12.2 cap number for 2015.

    5. Mike Wallace, Dolphins: $9.85 million.

    6. Dwayne Bowe, Chiefs: $10.75 million.

    7. Greg Jennings, Vikings: $11 million .

    8. Marques Colston, Saints: $10 million.
    During the season, somebody posted the WR FA list. it looked like gold. Now, this list looks like shit.

    Bowe and Marshall will probably get re-signed, the rest are gone.

    I doubt Bowe. Classic underachiever. No TD's and no 100 yard games in 2014. Bunch of 40-60 yard games. I think Fitz can still play pretty well for somebody. His numbers fell off this year when they got down to 3rd string at QB.

    You are probably right on Bowe.

    Fitz can play, but not at that $ level.

    Wallace and Harvin may have played their way out of the league.

    With a $14.4 M$ Dead Cap number... Larry Fitzerald remains a Cardinal.

    Also...he's still considered the face of that organization.

    ** To download Jesus Loves Me ring tones, you'll need a cell phone mame

    They can save 9.2 million though by cutting him before March 14 and they are currently 8.6 million over the cap. They are trying to work on a restructure with him. Maybe convert the 8 million roster bonus due March 14 to something to be paid down the road.

    They will restructure his contract because he's solid in Arizona with the coaches and players. The fans would be in shock if he was traded. He an specially recognized player in the NFL because of his ethical behaviour, mentoring skills and overall leadership qualities.

    Seeing the $mad money$ the WR's listed here are scheduled to get in 2015 is a real head shaker.

    Brandon Marshal and Mike Wallace are head cases. Dwayne Bowe is paid so much for what reason? Greg Jennings should be restructured. Percy Harvin at $10 M$ plus....seems ridiculous. Marques Colston seemed out of the picture in New Orleans last season but the whole team was out of synch.

    Percy Harvin is like an amusement park ride. In and out and up and down and over here and over there. His psychiatrist has a raw chin from scrathin' it.

    Randall Cobb's agent must see all that and be smackin' his lips.

    Report: Cardinals, Larry Fitzgerald closing in on multi-year deal

    " No further details are offered, but it seems certain that the deal will significantly lower the cap hit from the $26.3 million figure that Fitzgerald carries under his current deal. "

    Davon House: “I think my film shows I’m a starter”

    Posted by Mike Wilkening on February 14, 2015, 7:36 PM EST

    "...In a story published Saturday by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, House said he is seeking a starting job.

    “I don’t like the role just playing special teams, especially when I know I can contribute,” House told the Journal Sentinel‘s Tom Silverstein. ... "

    Comment woodbuck27:

    I wonder where he'll land? He's got decent measurements and isn't at the 'aging' stage.
