    Smith was possibly going to be released because they signed (or will) Darnell Dockett. Willis is a shocker though.

    The latest...Patrick Willis is very likely done but Justin Smith will take another week - two do decide if retirement is in his future.

    It's amazing the way the 49ers 'D' is changing from it's Super Bowl year. Only three from that starting 'D' remain.

    Green Bay Packer Free Agents:

    There's little to no news about Tackle Bryan Bulaga's FA status. His agent Tom Condon is reportedly a low key sorta guy and not as available to the media as Randall Cobb'a agent Jimmy Sexton seems to be.

    Bryan Bulaga has strong market value...and he may be a tough signing for TT. It's very very cold in Green bay late in the season and Bulaga may prefer a different climate and more so a boatload of money.

    I hope Bulag and Packers gets done to keep the Packers OL together. So much of what Bryan Bulaga is thinking is tied to another former? OT Don Barkley.

    Can TT cannot afford to lose both of these pieces?

    The Packers CB formerly linked to the Seahawks is old news and out. Evidently CB Tramon Williams turned down the Packers offer of two years and $8 million total, thinking that he can get a longer term and more guaranteed money elsewhere. So much for his loyalty hahaha. [B]NE or Philly and Tramon? Mad money and Tramon looks like the headline.

    TT and the Green Bay Packers need at CB now and I say more then at ILB and DT. Why...add this:

    According to Paul Imig (FOX Sports Wisconsin) the Packers have not talked to CB Davon House's agent. So he looks gone ! He'll get a surprisingly good deal too.

    The Minnesota Vikings reportedly have expressed an interest in former Packer LBer A.J. Hawk. I'm hearing that the Bengals may desire Hawk as well. I see him retiring unless he needs more money. Is his wife really really high maintenance ?

    RFAs, Don Barclay, Jarrett Boykin, and Sean Richardson ....there's not much to report as of now.

    GO TT GO ! GO PACK GO !!

    Eagles will apparently sign 0-time Pro Bowl CB Byron Maxwell to a 5-year deal worth $54M, including $25M guaranteed. Congratulations?

    Well, McGinn had Cobb out the door and now his partner in crime at MJS has Bulaga on the verge of leaving. Let's hope the MJS goes 0 for 2.

    Okay, for all of you out there who, every year, bemoan Ted Thompson not handing out the big contracts and not spending to win now, baby, here's why it doesn't always work out so well:

    http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nf...-suh/24638587/

    Lions have lost Suh - but he's still going to cost them 9.7 million this year.

    Wow.

    Wow for sure. So his contract had a fake 6th year, it voided 5 days after the SB this year. No criteria as far as I can see. The Lions have been happily charging money against that year since 2011.

    6% of their cap goes to him in 2015. They learned well from the municipal politicians in Detroit...

    LOL

    its also a really good lesson as to why you shouldn't keep restucturing a guys deal and pushing the cap hit further down the line

    i think the cards did something similar many years back with fitz, somehow they managed to get out of that mess though

    NFL has sent memo to teams about abuses during the 3 day negotiating period.

    Here is the complete memo:

    "Clubs were advised of the rules for the three-day negotiating period in PP-23-15 (attached). These rules include limitations such as that a club cannot make an 'offer;' or enter into a written or oral agreement of any kind, express or implied, or make promises or representations of any type concerning the terms or conditions of employment to be offered to any Unrestricted Free Agent for inclusion in a Player Contract after the start of the new League Year; or provide assurances of intent as to the future execution of an NFL Player Contract.

    "Clubs were further advised that "Any attempt to undermine the purpose of this negotiating period may be considered conduct detrimental to the League." At this time, the League office is beginning investigations into a number of reported agreements with clubs. Violations will be dealt with accordingly."

    Earlier today, Ruthless Sports Guy reported at BASG that a source indicated Patrick Willis is retiring in part due to "a religious awakening of sorts". I can't confirm that is the only reason, but I am hearing from a source that he wants to be more involved with his church. I have heard that is strictly related to his church, and has nothing to do with his recent toe injury recovery.

    Not as funny as PFT Commenter, but JSCommenter (quoting actual comments on JSO website) isn't bad.

    RT @JSComments: How about Janis at TE? He is very strong, probably stronger than any TE on the team now, and talk about match up nightmares.

    RT @JSComments: Tolzien is a hard worker, studies hard. NFL arm. We would have won the Seattle game if he started instead of Rodgers.

    PB, I know that non-tendered means the Packers didn't offer him a contract. Has his contract expired? If so, I guess he just hits the FA market. I was impressed with Rajion Neal from last year's TC. Harris has good elusiveness, and can make guys miss, but he's buried on the depth chart and didn't seem to have much vision for kickoff returns, making him expendable.
