2014 Free Agency Rumors and or Speculation

[pbmax]

Begin foaming at mouth, NOW!


Ryan O'Halloran @ryanohalloran 2h
Bryant said he was going to green bay and then kansas city and the Redskins were interested before signing with #Jaguars.

Bob McGinn @BobMcGinn 1h
Massive DE Red Bryant said today that he was to visit #Packers (Sun) & KC (Mon) before he decided Fri to go with Jax (4 yrs, $17M), Bradley.

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 1h
One team showing very real interest in #Ravens DE Arthur Jones is the #Colts. The interest is mutual. Jones has gotten a lot of play so far.


Jason LaConfora, in the one place I can say mentions it specifically, say the Packers like Jones and doesn't even mention Houston. I wonder if Houston rumors are a McKenzie/Thompson link, more than a matchup a player and suitor. Giants also mentioned for Jones.

No medical clearance yet for pending free agent Jermichael Finley, who nonetheless figures to take multiple visits (and physicals) this week

Pete Dougherty @PeteDougherty 3h
Agent for Raiders FA DL Lamarr Houston said Packers have not called about his client

For any other team, I would say this closes the book. But since its the never a FA Packers, I think this could be confirmation he is going to GB.

I'll be confused if Houston is in play, but it sure looks that way. Good young player that hasn't missed a start in 4 years, Raiders have a ton of cap room. Why isn't he signed?

If this was a few years ago, I'd say he just wanted out of Oakland and told his agent not to answer the phone when they called, but they shouldn't be as dysfunctional with Al gone and Reggie running the show.

^^^ maybe Oakland is looking for someone else to set the number? Crazy idea, but maybe they think others will offer Houston less than he thinks Raiders should give him. Then they come back and offer a little more and they actually get a better deal.

For the low, low price of $500,000, I can set him up with an ortho doc who will clear him tomorrow!

[pbmax]

RT @rvacchianonydn: I've heard free-agent C Evan Dietrich-Smith could sign quickly tomorrow. Giants are the favorites, from what I can tell.

Louis Delmas going to the Dolphinss.

Bears release Michael Bush.

David Baas released by Giants, who are rumored to be interested in EDS.

Micael Bennett turned down 2 teams who offered more money than the Seahawks, only the Bears were known to have made an offer.

[smuggler]

Houston isn't signed because he wants to get to free agency and get the most money he can and/or go to a team that isn't horrible.

If that first 28 has 12ish in the 3rd year I'd say that seems about right.

Was told last night current price for Jairus Byrd was $8 mil, TJ Ward $7 mil and Donte Whitner $6 mil per season. No idea where it is today.

If that's true, we should be able to get one of those guys if the feeling is mutual. I was expecting higher numbers.

RE: " David Baas released by Giants, who are rumored to be interested in EDS. " Fr. pbmax post



Surely Aaron Rodgers has informed management he'd like a center he's developed some rapport with..ie Evan Dietrich - Smith

what will be the cost though to retain E D-S with others in the bidding for his services?
