gz jairus. Wish it was here instead!

Albert to Miami is big. They needed serious OL help.

i dunno, i laughed. . .

Bucs are signing a few defensive guys. They should be solid on that side of the ball.

SD signed Donald Brown. That's going to be a tough backfield

I doubt it. The two have played in the league on opposing teams for nine years.

Jets are visiting with Decker today.

Every time I see a new post in this thread I hope I don't see that Revis goes to NE.

Good article on Grantland summing up yesterday's action:

Possibly my favorite part of the article:

Oakland’s signing of Saffold was the most curious of all. To be clear, by curious, I mean something not very far from mind-boggling and impossible to understand. He played left tackle for the Rams from 2010 to 2012 before the team signed Jake Long, moving a frustrated Saffold to right tackle and then, eventually, to right guard, where he played well during a brief stint to end 2013. It wasn’t clear what position Saffold would play for his new team after free agency, but the amount of money the Raiders gave him would seem to suggest he would suit up at left tackle, widely regarded as the most important position on the line. The only problem? One report suggests that Saffold will play guard for the Raiders in 2014. That seems ludicrous, but Oakland did spend $25 million to lock up the aforementioned Howard from the Jets, who they might consider moving from right tackle to the left side. If that’s true, the Raiders just gave Saffold $21 million guaranteed — the third-largest total for a guard in league history — based on a six-game sample to end the 2013 season. But hey, it’s the Raiders, they probably deserve the benefit of the dou— oh, wait, it hasn’t looked like the Raiders have had any idea what they’re doing and they don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt? Oh well.

Pffft. They won't sign that kind of contract for Revis. Belicheck NEVER pays top dollar for DBs, even when he had top DBs on his team he let them go sign elsewhere.

Probably already been mentioned but SD signed Donald Brown. Not a bad player to spell Matthews. Solid pickup for them.

Speaking of running backs, the Jaguars signed Toby Gerhart, who was Adrian Peterson's backup the last four years. The Jets like MJD, who is being called a "former Jaguar." Looks like a different player will wear #32 for Jacksonville.
