Saints sign TE Coby Fleener (5 years, $36 million): KIELBASA SLIPS THROUGH THE FINGERS MILLEN Grade 
I wonder how it feels to be a Colts fan right now. On one hand, they must be very depressed that they still have the incompetent Ryan Grigson running things. On the other hand, they have to be cracking up upon seeing the numbers Coby Fleener received from the Saints.

This signing is horrible. Aside from perhaps Vernon Davis, no tight end drops more passes than Coby Fleener. I'm sure he'll post some great numbers with Drew Brees throwing the ball to him, but he'll absolutely kill his new team with some untimely drops. Then again, maybe he won't be a fantasy monster, given that he couldn't produce with Andrew Luck, even when Dwayne Allen was out of the lineup with his injury issues. 

This is an easy Millen. I don't understand what the Saints saw in him to make them believe that he's worth more than $7 million per year. Fleener, an average starter at best, would've been overpaid had he gotten half as much.

Interesting that the Jags signed Chris Ivory to a big contract.  I was assured by many in this forum that TJ Yeldon was the real deal.

Brees will make Fleeners deal look legit, but once Brees is gone it will look really bad. There better be outs in that deal.

He is which makes the signing look really dumb.

George Iloka needs to fire his agent. Immediately.

$4.5M/year for Shelby. I definitely would pay that for him.

Day 1 of Free Agency (technically day 3) and Panthers not even remotely linked to an outside free agent.  Yet this board has been pretty calm and understanding, Gettleman has us believing, good time to be a Panther fan.

Don't know if he's the permanent solution, but he looks decent.

Did I miss Punter News?

Technically we signed Norman, CJ, Tolbert, and some depth,  pretty good haul..The best CB on the market, a DE who had a down injury year on a prove it contract, and a multi-dimensional FB/RB.  I like it..

The Chiefs have quietly had a very nice day.
