Per Schefter

Randall Cobb back to Green Bay on a 4-year, $40 million deal, per source.

Massive over spend. Rodgers can use anyone

[rmoneyg35]

Never thought we would get Cobb anyhow. 10 million was out of our league. I guess that leaves Maclin as the top WR in free agency.

[chknwing]

Derek Newton that is..

 

 One more Tackle off the market.  Texans OT Derek Newton: 5 years at $26.5M with $10M guaranteed. $13.75M in first 2 years and $17M in first 3 years

Randall Cobb deal just made Jeremy Maclin the No. 1 WR on

the open market. He's going to get paid. Uh oh, Eagles.

[rmoneyg35]

Cobb receives $17 million guaranteed , Cobb took as much as $1.5 million less to remain in Green Bay.

Well he had the option to get paid more to play for a horrible team like the Raiders or take a small pay cut to remain with the same team who is a Super Bowl contender and a QB who will help your stats look great.

@caplannfl: Multiple league sources say #49ers are very interested in Torrey Smith. Again, they need a deep threat WR--he's it.

Cam has to be a little jealous of the effort the Niners FO puts in to give Kaep a chance to win

 

What was Stevie Johnson?  At some point, they just have to admit that it's the guy throwing the ball.

Said the same thing a few pages back in this thread after I posted that the Niners signed Jerome Simpson

[LinvilleGorge]

Hell, if the 49ers would cut Johnson and we could get him, I'd let 'em have Torrey Smith.  Johnson was a beast for a terrible Bills team.

--  Titans re-sign punter Brett Kern to 5-year deal.

 

--  Chiefs very interested in re-signing former Panther WR Jason Avant.

Multiple league sources say #49ers are very interested in

Torrey Smith . Again, they need a deep threat WR--he's it.

that would be crazy. As Ravens, Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith beat the 49ers in the Super Bowl at the end of 2012, then both end up as 49ers a few years later

With Randall Cobb done, Maclin & Torrey Smith rise on the

priority lists tomorrow.

[LinvilleGorge]

I hope Smith goes to SF.  I have to imagine they'd release Stevie Johnson if that happens and to be honest, I'd rather have Johnson.

[LinvilleGorge]

If the team that drafted him in the 1st round and groomed him into the player that he is doesn't think he's worth it, then he's probably not worth it.

I don't see us signing any big name FA... Seems like everyone wants to throw money.  I think we're shooting for second tier players and don't be surprised if Harvin ends in Carolina.  No way he'll pulls his tricks on Rivera.
