NFL Free Agency Update Thread

Patriots have signed DE/OLB Jabaal Sheard to a two-year contract worth $11 million.

2-year deal worth $11 million, per source, including $5.5 million guaranteed.

Patriots were hosting Sheard tonight.

Sheard reportedly had interest from the Buccaneers, Bengals, and Seahawks as well.

Sheard, 25, recorded 44 tackles, two sacks, and three pass defenses over the course of 16 games for the Browns last year.

Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 16 outside linebacker in 3-4 defense out of 46 qualifying players.

Thought they build through the draft?

49ers Officially Release WR Stevie Johnson

 

Johnson was unwilling to take a pay cut.
 
Johnson, 28, still had two years remaining on his five-year, $36.25 million contract that included $18.05 million guaranteed. He would have made base salaries of $5.5 million and $5.85 million over the final two years of the agreement.
 
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Johnson would free up $6,025,000 in available cap space while creating no dead money.
 
In 2014, Johnson appeared in 13 games and caught 35 passes for 435 yards receiving and three touchdowns for the 49ers. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 22 receiver out of 110 qualifying players, which is pretty good considering that he only played 305 snaps.

NY Jet fans pretty happy about their big upgrade at QB:

-Like this move a lot. 9th-best QB rating in the NFL last year. Better than Wilson, Rivers, Ryan, Eli, Flacco, etc.

Fitzpatrick last season: 17 TDs, 8 INTs.

Geno Smith last season 13 TDs, 13 TDs

Fitz is a competent QB, something we havent had in a long time.

Better than geno and hes familiar with Gailey. I dont hate this move.

Wow. Buh bye Geno.

Wouldbrather go with Fitz, Draft Mariota (let him sit and learn the position), and just jettison Geno.

Fitzpatrick will beat out Geno if that is the only competition. Bank on it.

Fitzpatrick is a ideal stop gap guy for a Mariota. I don't want to over-think things though...But I do not want Geno

2015

Fitzpatrick

Mariota

Simms

IM SO PUMPED!!!! LETS GO!!!! DRAFT MARIOTTA AND LET HIM SIT BEHIND FITZ!!! CUT GENO (if we draft MM) !!!!

I don't want Ryan Fitzpatrick or Geno Smith

He's a good fit. Now, if we can move Geno and bring in Glennon, I'll be VERY happy

Fitz will be our day 1 starter.

very likely imo. Geno has to learn Gailey's system, whereas Fitzpatrick won't. That's a HUGE advantage, especially with Geno's seemingly low football IQ. Then there's the TO issue. Bowles is on record as saying that if a QB turns the ball over, he'll find himself on the bench. Fitzpatrick can throw some picks to be sure, but he's less likely to than Geno. I'm sad to say that with Geno, throwing interceptions is a given.

Buccaneers are preparing to release S Dashon Goldson following the addition of S Chris Conte.
 
Goldson, 30, signed a five-year, $41.25 million contract that included $22 million guaranteed with the Bucs back in March of last year.
 
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Goldson will free up $4 million in available cap space while creating $4 million in dead money.
 

Total Value: $41,250,000 (avg. $8,250,000/year; $18,000,000 fully guaranteed)
5th highest of 147 S contracts

Imagine Amari Cooper in Jax with Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson, Marqise Lee, Allen Hurns and Julius Thomas!

The future is bright in Jacksonville! Flame away!

Naw I agree. They are definitely trending up. I think Bortles is going to be a better than average QB and his supporting cast is already better than Cam's. Bortles may be my second QB in a two-quarterback fantasy league this year. I think he can take a big jump forward in his second year.
