The Rams have tagged Trumaine Johnson

 

Wise decision. Jenkins is a damn clown.

Now that tags are announced, a lot of sites have updated their Free Agent tracking lists:

NFL.Com - Top 99 FAs

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000637939/article/2016-free-agency-top-99-available-players

PFF top 75 FAs

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2016/02/15/pro-pffs-top-75-free-agents-of-2016/

 

Unless I missed someone, we have no player on either list.  (Not a surprise)

 

We had only ONE player (Hardy) on NFL's top 101 FAs last year, from Feb 2015.

This shows just how amazing Gettleman has been in getting new contracts signed with our top players - Cam, Luke, Greg, TD....  with minimal drama.   It's perhaps easy to overlook, but it frees you up as a team to be that much more effective in your scouting & drafting, and new free agent signings if you don't have to worry about losing your own best players to Free Agency.

Hopefully Josh's contract negotiations won't turn into a big drama.  And hopefully Gettleman can continue to work his Cap & Contract magic with KK, Star, etc...

If you had said "Google that poo", I wouldn't have done it. As it is, I'll do it when I can lol

Always be afraid when someone says to Google that poo

You'd be right to fear.

It's an ugly story.

And Cousins has signed his as well, a few days ago.

Dolphins have pulled (rescinded) the tag on Olivier Vernon

Interesting stuff.  Learning a lot about how the (transition) tag works that I never knew...

 

[Bartin]

Jags bout to make it rain on Vernon

I'd say this thread can be unpinned.

Maybe pin the Official Free Agency thread instead.
