Free Agent Signings around the League

I hope Dallas overpays for Melton so that Jerry Jones can make a 'splash'. They need to do something after losing Ware.

PS
Interesting article on possible free agent fits for the Pats:

Cotchery on vet min to round out the receivers? Sounds pretty good if true...

Phillips/Harrison (please not Harrison) are intriguing. Sims only if it doesn't work out with Wilfork, which I think it will. De La Puente would be a nice pickup, agree on Blount, too.

I doubt you get Cotchery as cheap as people are suggesting. Pittsburgh wanted to keep him, by all accounts, so he must be out trying to get a better deal. I'd love him here, though.

No on Bell. He's redundant with Adrian Wilson, in that you don't want either in coverage. And Wilson's a bigger hitter. Since the savings on Wilson are negligible if cut, there's no reason to go after Bell.

I think we're just about done in FA.

Sign Blount and Phillips if cheap, as in, sub 5m, pick him up for 2 years. Allen isn't worth the money he wants. Melton i'm losing interest in after his DUI and something about him being sued for biting a bartender in the kidney...

Work with Vince. We've accomplished a lot of big things WITHOUT touching his contract yet, ask for a less severe pay cut or a 2 year extension. We can certainly still use a player of his caliber, even if hes on the wrong end of his career.

DE/TE with first 2 picks in whichever order presents more value (replace DE with DT if we cut Vince). C/OG with next pick. Depth/camp competition at SS, interior OL, LB, and DT(DE if DT taken early) with remaining picks.

Phillips can replace the Carter role and work with the high draft pick to spell Ninko/Jones, obviously DT is a much higher priority if Wilfork leaves. TE should be plug and play as the #2 guy and insurrance for Gronk. The C/OG pick depends on best fit available and move Connolly back to C if the prospect ends up being a better G than C. The rest is depth and competition at thinner positions.

I'd be pretty happy with this scenario.

There's that part of it. RT @PatriotsSB49 "It's awesome that I get to be here for another 4 years." - Julian Edelman on @waaf.

Guess it's not a 3 year pact after all.

Was just reading about this on PFT. What a odd story...

Interestingly there's no reported interest in Mack, either.

Now that LaFell's contract details are known, another great deal..#Patriots got Revis, Browner, LaFell for under 12 million on the cap in 14

Browns want him and have the space to match any team in the NFL. Why bother? It ties up a giant chunk of your cap space for about a week, and unless you're the Raiders or Jets with 30m+ left, it ties your hands on the ability to negotiate with anyone else until the situation is resolved.

Mack is a Brown unless someone offers him over 10m/year.
 
Look like the Cowboys are getting Henry Melton.

Never really thought the Pats would go after him. So not really disheartened.

If they are looking for a DT though, they might want to talk to Pat Sims before every team that lost out on Melton turn to Sims.
 
Melton to the Cowboys


Penn to the Raiders


Arenas to the Falcons
