#Panthers Rational w/ Smitty? Clears $ off books 2015 early. Offer WR 1 yr deal w/ resources extend in 2015. Nicks & Sidney Rice 2 targets.

I dunno why they'd cut him after he just had a very good season.

Kelly thinks he's a puke and not a team guy.

For the $ they can get a viable replacement without the disruption and fragile durability.

@NBCdianna
Sources say it will be between the Eagles or The Commanders for Jairus Byrd #NFLFreeAgency

@RapSheet
Would be really surprised if #Commanders were in on Jairus Byrd, from what I’m hearing. We’ll see his market. Return to Bills still possible

Guys can't get out of Oakland fast enough......

Rashad Jennings, to the Giants

• Five teams are interested in free agent cornerback Mike Jenkins, who may be harder for the Raiders to re-sign than they expected, tweets Tafur.

• There’s nothing new on the Raiders front when it comes to Jared Veldheer and Lamarr Houston, tweets Tafur. It continues to look like Veldheer will land in Arizona, and Houston could sign elsewhere too.
  • While many free agent running backs aren’t getting much play yet, Darren McFadden is one that has drawn “significant interest,” tweets ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter. Fallon Smith of CSNBayArea.com (on Twitter) hears from a league source that the Raiders have a one-year offer on the table for McFadden. The 26-year-old has missed 19 games over the last three seasons.
• • The Raiders are offering Saffold $8MM per year, with the potential to increase that offer, according to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun (Twitter link via John Middlekauff of 95.7 The Game).
  
  
• And Saffold hasn't signed this yet? Saffold isn't an 8 mil a year player....Raiders can't even over pay players to come to Oakland.

No news on decker yet huh....interesting

Teams obviously believe he is nothing but a product of the system and talent around him. Will have to come way down on his price

The colts have shown intrest. Rapport is reporting that the colts are probably the landing spot for him

Edelman and the Pats couldnt reach a deal he will hit the market

I could see the Pats going after a vet like Steve Smith once he is released

@AdamSchefter
Patriots and WR Julian Edelman were unable to reach a deal today and he will test the market.

Giants have Re-Signed Saftey Stevie Brown

 

[jblaze2004]

what about lamarr houston from the raiders? could come at a good price

Only in Jerry's wet dreams.......

The NFL network pumped up his value today.

Eagles getting Byrd would fix a big hole in their defense. I fear the gap between us and them will get larger this year.

Fingers crossed Cleveland jumps in with late offer

GOD yes.....Brady would do a backflip if they could land Smith. Sure he's intense but he is a gamer and tough as they come. I see that as a very solid landing spot for him. They're kind of cheap though...gotta pay him.

 

[JustDezIt]

@kentsomers
don't know if this has been out there since twitter broke. hearing Dansby to Browns, 4yrs/$24m. $10m year 1, $14m guaranteed.

@RossJonesFOX
NE could make run at WR Andrew Hawkins RT @MikeGarafolo Julian Edelman will hit the market after failing to reach a deal with the Patriots.

I was kind of hoping the Cowboys would go after him on a 2 year deal.....But probably out of their range.

I dont know if you will have to pay smith a hefty contract as this point in his career...the opportunity to win a chip might mean more to him.

probable a 2 year 8 - 10million dollar deal would get the job done

They will and have to give Brady some proven weapons this year though
