2015 NFL Free Agent Signings Thread

Mike Wallace has been on the phone with Minnesota Vikings the last hour. Trade likely.

@ArmandoSalguero who is a solid reporter is reporting in Miami Herald that Mike Wallace trade likely to Vikings.

Maybe they swap wallace for patterson

Surprised they would be interested in each other but they do need a WR like him.

I'm also surprised that they are interested in one another. Happy that they are.

Stevie also gives Sherman fits too.

Picture having a WR you can line up on Sherman's side that can get open 1 on 1. SB50 will be cake.

Getting ahead of myself.

Vikings traded 5th-round pick to Miami for WR Mike Wallace and 7th-round pick, per league source.

I have absolutely no idea what the Dolphins are doing.

If the Vikings can draft someone like Parker too, GMs will be pretty pissed they passed on Bridgewater by the end of next year. He was very good the 2nd half of his rookie year.

Good trade for Vikings. Landry/Stills is a sketchy WR duo for Miami.

Clay and Cameron are 2 pretty damn good TEs though. (At least when Cameron is healthy)

Jeebus, he was about to be released by all reports...why would Minny do this and take on that dog contract?

Yikes. They could have had him a lot cheaper, I'm sure, and kept the 5th-rounder.

wow, basically gave up nothing.

Wallace's contract has offset language on the guaranteed $3M, so I guess it's not as big of a deal as I had thought. The Dolphins weren't paying that $3M either way, so really the only coup here is that they upgraded a pick.

Terrence Knighton to Skins, 1 year $4m

In random #Saints news, they are in the process of re-doing the much-discussed contract of CB Keenan Lewis to make him… happier

Neither do they.

So the Dolphins signed a ton of guys for a lot of money, then later got rid of all those guys to save money so they could sign another guy for a LOT of money.

Sounds legit.

Well it's pretty much the going rate for a guy like him with the cap hit he'll have. See:Brandon Marshall

Suh
Cameron
Clay
Stills
Landry
Lost 3rd round pick
Gained 5th round pick
Lost 7th round pick

So....
upgraded DL
Upgraded TE
Saved money on a WR that Tannehill couldn't use properly
Saved money on a big coin player who missed all but 1 game last year

With a new GM, there's not a lot of loyalty towards earlier signings.

Which is funny when you consider the fact that Marshall was the talented WR with issues who proceeded Wallace, who ended up being the same thing.

I can not wrap my head around why bb has it signed a big dt or two? There are plenty available at reasonable prices.

@AlbertBreer: Also, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger gets $65 million over the first three years of the deal (2015-17), which is a record.

What a steal Brady remains at his deal.

Wilson will top 20 million, and Luck may be the first 25 million a year NFL player.

Big Ben is definitely worth it though. I think one could argue he's the 3rd best QB in the NFL due to Manning/Brees' decline.
