Several Teams Interest In DE/OLB Derrick Morgan Including The Buccaneers

 

free agent OLB Derrick Morgan has “several” teams interested in him right now.

 

the Buccaneers among the team with interest in Morgan.

Morgan, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Titans. He played out his five-year, $15,395,010 rookie contract that included $10.6 million guaranteed 

 

In 2014, Morgan recorded 63 tackles, 6.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and seven pass defenses for the Titans over the course of 16 games. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 8 outside linebacker in a 3-4 system out of 46 qualifying players this past season.

 

 

 

I want this guy.  He would excel in our D.  2 years at a fair price, then let him get paid.

Hmm... being arrested for resisting arrest seems like a circular argument. Probably a little more to that story.

The NFL sent a letter to all 32 teams stating their displeasure w/ the release of contract terms prior to the start of free agency. haha

 

WTF did they expect?  Seriously?  Guy gets an offer (the "discussions" during the three day "legal tampering" period may not be official offers, but let's be real - they're offers), current team says, "Nope."  Pretty clear what's gonna happen come Tuesday morning.

The Redskins are closing in on a four year deal with dl Stephen paea

hearing the Redskins are closing in on a four-year contract with DT Stephen Paea.

the Redskins, Cowboys, and Cardinals are among the interested teams in Paea.

the Redskins are “very interested” in Paea.

Paea, 26, is another free agent who could walk away with a very respectable contract, even though he hasn’t generated a lot of news since entering the NFL back in 2011.

Last year, he appeared in all 16 games for the Bears and recorded 33 tackles, six sacks, two forced fumbles and three pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 11 defensive tackle out of 81 qualifying players.

Stephen Paea had 47 pressures on the year; third most for DT/

NT's. He and Jason Hatcher will make a nice interior pass rush.

And that's probably the full extent of the action they'll take.

Arthur Moats was always best as a pass-rushing OLB. Wasn't

bad as an ILB, either. #Steelers get an underrated edge guy for

next 3 years.

This might sound weird but Moats is my favorite NFL player and has been for years.

#Redskins were interested in #Bears DL Stephen Paea from the

beginning. He’s told people that’ll be his destination. They

beefed up that DL

Why?

[Frizzy350]

Why?

 

Started out as a Madden joke.  For some reason he kept getting drafted to my team in simulated drafts and would always end up having game winning picks and fumbles.  I live in NY and go to a Buffalo game every year and was able to speak to him after a game once.  I told him about it and he thought it was funny and we talked for a good 20 minutes.  Really cool guy.

[Mr. Scot]

Don't know is it was posted but the Bears are reportedly giving Pernell McPhee 5 years, 40 million.

 

My word, teams are overpaying like crazy.
