I can't remember the last time I was this excited about the Giants during free agency. It's weird. I'm used to them sitting back and signing maybe one name and a bunch of depth and watching other teams fart on each other. After this I don't see how we aren't going to go all offense/d-line in the draft.

At this point the only possibility is that Mack wants out of Cleveland, right? If he loved Cleveland he would have signed long-term. If it was about the money he'd sign the $10 mil tender. If it was about money longer than one year, well, he didn't get any of those offers, and they ain't gonna materialize now, so he'd sign the tender. But if he wants out of Cleveland he waits to see if the Browns rescind and he can reach a lower-price deal with other teams without the Browns being able to match it.

So, um, is anyone going to sign Ryan Fitzpatrick? Guy got cut from the Titans because I guess someone thought Charlie Whitehurst is better? I'd wager he's a better backup than goddamn Brandon Weeden or Mark Sanchez.

Bad pick? Everything I hear about him he's next Graham/Gronk? Admittedly I'm not well versed in the draft this year.

I don't like him at all but he's being rated as a top 15 selection. Take that as you will, I'm not right about every prospect. I think Amaro, Niklas, or ASJ have the best chance to be the next Gronk. I don't think there are any Graham's in this class, although Ebron has a chance to be a shorter Graham.

But then again we have Witten sooooooo

Henry Melton is visiting St. Louis, gonna sign him and draft Clowney. Rams are also getting a cap credit of 3 million because of language in Finnegans contract where if he signs elsewhere on release Rams get his roster bonus back.

Interesting look at the Raiders free agent signings for the last 2 years since McKenzie took over.quote:—-2012 veteran acquisitions 1 guy from 2012 left on the roster, 4 from last season. Most of the 2012 class is out of the NFL and most of the 2013 class are free agents.

Well, that's partly due to avoiding handing out much in the way of contracts until the last couple of years and haven't really cut many players aside from Revis, whose obviously an outlier.

DangerKat posted:Well, that's partly due to avoiding handing out much in the way of contracts until the last couple of years and haven't really cut many players aside from Revis, whose obviously an outlier. Its actually more a function of front loading contracts and not handing out signing bonuses which are spread across multiple years. I mean Penn's contract called for 7 million this year and his dead money hit was less than half a million. edit: here's three recent contracts for example signed within the last few years:    They're not all like that of course, Nicks would have cost us 7 million in dead money to cut this year and Vincent Jackson's contract got restructured last year so that there's now a lot of dead money later in the deal, but this is pretty much the model the Bucs have been trying to follow and I think its an effective one.

So out of curiosity: There's 74 players with a dead money cap hit of at least $1m, twenty five of which are over $3m. There's only 2 or 3 teams without a guy making at least $1m in dead money. Here's the top 20 dead money hits: pre:DeMarcus Ware 8,571,500 Cowboys Julius Peppers 8,366,668 Bears Jon Beason 8,000,000 Panthers Aaron Hernandez 7,500,000 Patriots Ryan Fitzpatrick 7,000,000 Bills Jay Ratliff 6,928,000 Cowboys Trent Richardson 6,670,836 Browns Levi Brown 6,514,191 Cardinals Michael Huff 6,208,750 Raiders Cortland Finnegan 6,000,000 Rams Antonio Cromartie 5,480,000 Jets Willie Colon 4,300,000 Steelers Brandon Weeden 4,204,362 Browns D'Qwell Jackson 4,200,000 Browns Jeremy Mincey 4,000,000 Jaguars Jared Gaither 4,000,000 Chargers Derek Cox 3,900,000 Chargers Robert Meachem 3,750,000 Chargers Roman Harper 3,690,000 Saints Josh Morgan 3,300,000 Washington
