Which Chris Clemons? If it is the Seattle DE he is still pretty good and probably has a couple of years left. Obviously he isn't the big FA everyone wants, but he is absolutely worth having.

Aw :( Part of me wonders if his interview about how he believes he's earned the right to finish out his contract contributed to this. $4.5m in created cap space, but also a hole created in my heart. Guess we'd better sign Graham now

e: this is especially sad because he had offered to restructure in order to stay on the Texans

NFL.com's Mike Silver reports a "battle is shaping up" between the Giants and Rams for free agent G/T Geoff Schwartz.
Both teams have extreme needs along their offensive lines, particularly in the interior. That's where Schwartz is best utilized. Schwartz can play both guard spots and right tackle.

I'd really like to see the Seahawks throw their name in the hat for Geoff Schwartz. For all their strengths, the O-line is mediocre on a good day. They need to come out of FA with a new starting guard and RT.

If you're anything like me, you're excited for your team's pro-bowlers to go somewhere they have a chance to win.

Also irrationally excited about potentially signing the 4th rated guard or a depth cornerback.

For what it's worth I think Neal would be much better as a 4-3 DE. He was fine as a strict pass rusher this last season, but was real bad at dropping into coverage and the like. I've made a bunch of jokes about the Raiders signing the Packers castoffs and welp, it seriously looks like that is all they are going to do in free agency.

One Road. Two Friends. One Ass.

I've always liked Jennings. I loved the McKenzie hire when it happened but I thought the whole idea of last years team was short contracts and resigning the players that deserved it to build a team. Just letting everyone go, combined with things like the Tyler Wilson pick, equates a bad gm with a short lifespan.

Tyson Jackson news:

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports free agent DE Tyson Jackson is drawing an "impressive amount of interest," with the Dolphins, Browns and Falcons among his potential suitors.
Per Rapsheet, the Chiefs also remain in play. The 2009 first-rounder had a career year under Andy Reid and DC Bob Sutton last season, logging 34 tackles and four sacks across 509 snaps while faring well against the run.

Apparently Atlanta is only interested in KC cast offs. We will take all your McClusters as well!
