NFL Free Agency Update Thread

[WOW!!]

There goes another one...

@McClain_on_NFL

Texans have agreed on a contract with WR Cecil Shorts 3.

It's more and more apparent that our new WR'S are coming from the draft..

Some scouts have Coleman as the top RB. A cross between Demarco Murray and Darren McFadden

Murray, yes, but he is nothing like McFadden at all in my opinion.

The Jets have expressed interest in free agent WR Stevie Johnson, but he has reportedly narrowed his choices to the Patriots and Chargers and intends to make a decision by Tuesday morning.

Bill Williamson was told by a source that there’s “not a chance” WR Denarius Moore is back with the Raiders.

Asked person in know if D. Moore could somehow land back with #Raiders: “Not a chance.” Never say never, but lots would have to change.

Seahawks will host veteran DL Chris Canty for a visit on Thursday.

 

Canty previously visited with the Jets a few weeks ago, but there hasn’t been any reported news since then regarding the former Giants and Ravens defensive lineman.

 

The Ravens cut Canty loose in a move that cleared $2.66 million in cap space for Baltimore.

 

Canty had reportedly been contemplating retirement, but he’s been working out regularly since the season ended and intends to play next year.

 

This is usually the point in free agency where the Seahawks begin kicking the tires on some potential under-priced veteran defensive linemen. Last year, they signed former Vikings DT Kevin Williams to a contract, so this could be something to keep an eye on for Seattle.

 

Canty, 32, appeared in 11 games for the Ravens and recorded 33 tackles, a half sack, a forced fumble and two pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 37 defensive end in a 3-4 defense out of 47 qualifying players.

What's the story there? He burn a lot of bridges in Oakland?

Smells like one of Al Davis' last picks before he passed. Al always did like the fast WRs even if they has stone hands.

 

Al's son Mark is now running the show and sounds like this is more housecleaning. Oakland needs weapons and they have the cap room, yet this guy's getting the boot. Sounds like another Kenny Stills that isn't taking his job serious.

Chris Borland just announced his retirement because of concerns about long term effects of head trauma. Wow.

Lafell and Johnson--the Allstate good hands team.

Breaking from @OTLonESPN: 49ers LB Chris Borland retiring b/c of concerns about long-term effects of head trauma: http://t.co/fUnFQYUZN5

This is amazing. Not in a good way, just that it's happening all at once to one team is literally hard to believe.

[usmcpanthers]

Everyone is trying to escape from San Fran, amazing what a year changes

Chris Borland just announced his retirement because of concerns about long term effects of head trauma. Wow.

The 49ers may be having the worst NFL offseason I can ever remember.  Lose a very good coach and replace him with who?  Core players retiring left and right.  Lost a few priority free agents.  They're a dumpster fire right now.

Murray, yes, but he is nothing like McFadden at all in my opinion.

The McFadden comparison is to his breakaway ability. Once he gets in the open field he's gone. McFadden can do that too. I agree he's more like Murray.
