FA Thread

[t96]

Well seems like it’ll be going down today, so we should have a thread for the moves around the league... “Legal tampering” period begins today at noon. FA doesn’t technically open until Wednesday but things become unofficially done today.
 

Some moves so far:

Falcons cut Trufant and Freeman.

Vikings extended Cousins 2 years.

Brady reportedly down to Bucs and Pats.

Dak franchise tagged... things could get ugly there in Dallas

According to Mike Garafolo, the #Falcons are releasing OT Ty Sambrailo ahead of the new league year as well. #Atlanta continues to slash salary, as the team also plans to release CB Desmond Trufant and RB Devonta Freeman as it works to clear cap space.

In 2019, Trufant appeared in nine games for the Falcons and recorded 18 tackles, four interceptions and seven passes defended.

Pats just placed OL franchise tag (average of top LT salaries essentially) on Joe Thuney, a guard. Just signed their other OG to a big contract last year I think too...

That would be like us having placed the tag on Norwell after already looking up Trai.

Hard to believe but unless they’re trading him (unlikely for a team to trade for that amount of money in a guard) this essentially guarantees Brady leaves (likely to Bucs?) as they are over the cap right now...

Hooper to the Browns

Hooper to the Browns

Apparently he’s now the highest paid TE? Browns know they got a guy who fits their wide zone offense.

Yes, I wouldn't want to be the team that makes Austin Hooper the highest ranked TE

It’s nuts. He’s really not all that great. He’s a solid but unspectacular receiving TE who offers little to nothing as a blocker. He put up some bulk numbers on us over the years but I was never even slightly worried about him against us. And the browns already have a ton invested in offensive skill players. Just strange.

Whew! I would much rather be obsessing about which backup guard go signed to the lions than obsessing about new covid19 cases in my county. 
 

No sarcasm at all. This is a breath of fresh air in a crazy, sport free world.

Yeah I really think people need some degree of sports news or even games played (without fans but televised) to lift spirits a bit.
