NFL Free Agency Update Thread

[NcPsa10]

Free agent RB Reggie Bush is expected to visit with the Saints and Patriots in the coming days.

 

Bush already met with the 49ers earlier in the week.

The Lions released Bush not too long ago, and there has already been talk that he could return to the Saints.

 

New England is reportedly looking for a replacement to Shane Vereen, who signed with the Giants a few days ago.

 

Bush, 29, ran for 297 yards on 76 carries (3.9 YPC) to go along with 40 receptions for 253 yards receiving and two total touchdowns over the course of 11 games for the Lions last season.

 

Pro Football Focus has Bush rated as the No. 14 running back in the league last year out of 57 qualifying players.

Several” Teams Showing Interest In WR Stevie Johnson

Update:

 

Aaron Wilson reports that  “several” teams have already expressed interest in former 49ers WR Stevie Johnson since he was officially released last night.

 

We’re still waiting to hear who could be interested in him, but you would have to think the Ravens would want to at least speak with him now that they’ve lost Torrey Smith to the 49ers.

Update: Saints Sign CB Brandon Browner To A Three-Year Deal

 

Browner, 30, had two years remaining on his three-year, $15.15 million contract, which includes base salaries of $1.9 million in 2015 and 2016, but it all came down to his option and the fact that he would have counted $4.8 million against the team’s cap in 2015.

 

New England freed up $4.8 million in available cap space by declining Browner’s option.

 

Last year, Browner appeared in nine games for the Patriots and recorded 25 tackles, one interception and six pass defenses.

Free agent S Darian Stewart will visit with the Falcons after his meeting with the Broncos concludes.

 

Stewart, 26, originally signed on with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of back in 2010.

 

He spent the first four years of his career in St. Louis before the Ravens signed him to a one-year contract worth $1.3 million that included $300,000 guaranteed back in March of last year.

 

In 2014, Stewart wound up appearing in all 16 games for the Ravens and recorded 53 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and four pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 30 safety out of 87 qualifying players

Jets have reached agreement with CB Antonio Cromartie.

 

All indications were that Cromartie would be back in New York once free agency was open for business.

 

Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson even mentioned that returning to New York was all Cromartie ever talked about, so this really shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

 

The Jets have spent a bunch of money to improve their secondary now that they’ve added Darrelle Revis and Buster Skrine in recent days.

 

Cromartie, 30, recorded three interceptions, 10 pass deflections, and 48 tackles for the Cardinals last season. Pro Football Focus rated Cromartie as the No. 45 overall cornerback out of 108 qualifiers last season

 

Antonio Cromartie's 4-year deal with the Jets: Base value of $32 million
