From Rotoworld...

 

 

Remind me...There was a right tackle that hit the market last year bragging about how he wouldn't take less than 8 million a year, but ended up doing so after pretty much nobody offered him much of anything till way late in free agency.

 

Anybody else remember who I'm talking about?

Joe Barksdale from the Rams I think

As soon as they acquire his replacement RT @OmarKelly: Miami #Dolphins expected to release Pro Bowl CB Brent Grimes

They're doing him dirty. Not letting him hit the market right away costs him money. His wife will not be happy

Tarik El-Bashir reports that the Redskins have released veteran S Dashon Goldson on Monday.

According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Goldson will free up $8 million in available cap space while creating no dead money.

In 2015, Goldson appeared in 15 games for the Redskins and recorded 110 tackles, one interception returned for a touchdown, a forced fumble and three pass defenses for Washington.

#Seahawks LB Bruce Irvin has clear interest from #Jaguars & #Falcons, with many connections. But keep an eye on #AZCardinals. They like him

In 2015, Irvin appeared in 15 games and recorded 38 tackles, 5.5 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and two pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 15 linebacker in a 4-3 defense out of 35 qualifying players.

It may be safe to say Mario and weddle were just dreams, what are some realistic options?

Grimes has been a pretty good player in Miami. That's a move id look to make.

Did I miss something? Why is Weddle just a dream?

From Ayers' comments though, it looks like he wont be a Panther in 2016.

Igo indicated we don't have any interest in Weddle in another thread implying that we are happy with Boston as a starter.

I can't imagine Ayers getting anywhere near the $10M/year he reportedly wants, but it does indicate he will likely take the highest offer which likely won't be us.

Jason Cole of B/R reports that Browns free agent C Alex Mack has generated “extensive interest” from the Falcons.

 

                                                                                                            

 

@Rand_Getlin
One player teams are intrigued by? TE @JaredCook89, who has averaged 577 yards per season over the last four (despite inconsistent QB play)

Re Cook: only eight other TEs have a higher yards per season average over that time.

 

 

 

                                                                                                    

 

Jason Cole of B/R reports that the Titans are currently in the lead for Jets free agent DT Damon Harrison and view him as a huge boost for their defense.

In 2015, Harrison appeared in all 16 games for the Jets and recorded 72 tackles, a half sack, and a forced fumble.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Eagles have made it known that they’re willing to trade RB Ryan Mathews for the right price.

Previous reports have said that they are also looking to trade RB DeMarco Murray, so it’s clear that Philadelphia is open for business.

Mathews, 28, is in the second year of his three-year, $11 million contract that includes $5 million guaranteed. He stands to make a base salary of $3 million for the 2016 season.

According to OverTheCap.com, trading Mathews would free up $2 million in available cap space while creating $2 million in dead money.

[Growl]

Jared cook would be a great upgrade as well

Eagles-Dolphins now trying to finalize trade that will send Kiko Alonso and Byron Maxwell to MIA for draft-pick comp, per league
source.  

                                                                            

I Don't understand this one tho .    

• Pro Football Talk believes the Dolphins’ decision to cut CB Brent Grimes could mean they are confident they have a shot at landing CB Adam Jones.
