Marcus Harrison is someone the Pats had brought in during the season last year on the Practice squad.. He's a camp body for the NT position.

Thought the name sounded familiar. Lasted a day apparently.

Didn't see this in the thread, so my apologies if I missed it:

I got Adams but missed Westerman. Westerman played well last year from what i saw.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced Thursday that they have signed tight end Kevin Boss, formerly of the Oakland Raiders...Adam Caplan reports that the deal is worth $9 million over three seasons.

Chiefs sign Kevin Boss to three-year, $9 million deal | ProFootballTalk

Boss may help to cover Moeaki until he's back to 100%. That's a solid signing for the Chiefs.

Interesting that BB has another head start on the NFL with the two TE-centric offense (not that he hasn't been trying for a while). I wonder what his next wrinkle/roster advantage will be?

 

[Huckleberry1]

Well, at least the Patriots aren't getting hurt in free agency. The Ravens lost Jarrret Johnson and Ben Grubbs.

He'll just always stay once step ahead. When everybody is playing with undersized LBs to can cover TEs, he'll just line up 6 OLs and Gronkowski and pound the ball.

You also forgot about Cory Redding.

It's interesting that people continually overlook the value in keeping a good team together whilst picking up solid additions along the way. Sure we all like the fancy big name acquisitions, but keeping your own is just as important as adding new shiny parts.

Eddie Royal to the Chargers on a 3 year deal.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Royal's deal is reportedly 3 years $13.5M with $6M guaranteed. I would assume that would be the Lloyd ballpark here. Maybe a tad more if they really want him. If it is, Ocho is gone from a purely economic standpoint and Branch likley will be back on a 1 year $1.5M+/- deal...with incentives he's liklier to make than Ocho is. I'd hate to think we wanted him and missed out because of Ocho and his contract clogging up the works.

 

[Marqui]

I thought Ocho was restructuring his contract to stay.

 

[MoLewisrocks]

I thought Ocho was restructuring his contract to stay.

He was reportedly told he would have to, but we haven't heard any confirmation that it's been done and it doesn't guarantee him a spot on the 53. He was due to count $4.5M against the cap with a $3M salary. And he has a $3M dead cap figure.

If he is cut and they treat him as a June 1 cut, his dead cap would be $1.5M in 2012 ($3M cap saving) and $1.5M in 2013 ($3M cap saving). If they cut him and take the full dead cap hit this season he's a wash. If he restructures to $1.5M and remains his cap hit remains $3M.

$3M per year could pay 60-75% of a Lloyd contract for the next two years... And if Welker were signed to a $9M AAV deal allow you to have he and Lloyd on the roster for about $1M more than it cost to have Moss and Welker on the roster from 2008-2010.

Just days after releasing him, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Cardinals have reached a five-year contract agreement with offensive tackle Levi Brown.

Lardarius Webb....anyone?....Bular...

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Anyone else notice how quiet Brandon Lloyd has been? I have a gut feeling that the Patriots will sign him in the next few days!
