I think it's odd that the Julius and Albert trades were separate transactions. My guess is theyre worried about someone failing a physical ajd didn't want it to affect the other half of the deal.

Do the Jags suck so bad they don't have to follow the Cap?

They throw money around like the are playing Monopoly and just won a beauty contest.

Texan's cornerback A.J. Bouye signed with Jacksonville Jaguars. Five years, 67.5 million.

They're different years on the picks but yeah.. I doubt anybody is counting on a 7th rounder contributing that year unless it's a K or P

I can see why the Chiefs are hanging on the sidelines- lots of huge contracts for average talent.

Markus Wheaton to Chicago

I'll hang on to this post space in case you need it.

Did we sign Hugh Douglas yet?

2 things of interest:

1. The CAN'T MISS left tackle out of Texas A and M SAFEST PICK EVAR just signed a 1 year deal. **** safe picks. They don't exist.

2. Anthony Fasano is still in the ****ing league? What?

No but we are closing in on Cory Dillon

NFL | Dontari Poe's back causing concern

Free-agent DT Dontari Poe's history of back problems and his asking price are the main reasons he remains on the market.

Some guys just hang around and hang around and hang around......:hmmm:

The Browns had more picks in the 2016 NFL draft than any other team. But their 2016 haul is nothing compared to what they have in 2017 and 2018.

After yesterday’s Brock Osweiler trade, the Browns now have a whopping eight picks in the first two rounds of the next two drafts, as well as the first pick in the third round this year, for a whopping nine Top 65 picks in 2017 and 2018.

Continue to hear the Falcons linked to Chiefs DT Dontari Poe. Very good chance he does 1yr deal to relaunch as a UFA next March

Not official, will monitor.

I root for the guy. He really needs to go somewhere where he can be a pass rusher if he wants to get paid.

Chandler Jones signed a 5 year deal worth $82.5M with $53M guaranteed with Arizona that averages $16.5 Million per year. :eek:

San Francisco has retooled their entire offense. You think maybe some of the Alex fans will go back there now?

Thanks, guys. I've been a bit more busy today than usual. I'm about to do a mass update now.

And just to throw it out there, my intent with this thread is definitely not to steal discussion from other threads throughout the lounge. I just wanted to try and have a thread for folks to quick reference official news when they fall behind in the mega thread.

That seems really cheap for the Patriots, considering that Ealy was the only guy who refused to take a dive in the Peyton Manning Farewell Super Exhibition Bowl Game.

No problem at all, man.

I noticed I might be missing signings here and there. But this should still be the majority of them. If anyone notices any missing, PLEASE let me know. I'll be happy to update.

William Hayes involved in ham sandwich trade. Doesnt pay to believe in mermaids and not dinosaurs!

Maaaan....I think that was all a made up storyline for TV. There's no way thatbman believed in Mermaids because he's seen them on TV, but not in Dinosaurs because he's never seen them in real life.

I think that was a troll job they came up with when they found out they were doing Hard Knocks.

Pats sign Stephon Gilmore 3 years $42M with $40M guaranteed $18 million signing bonus. He is getting $23 million in 2017.

Colts | Dontari Poe visiting Indy
Fri, 10 Mar 2017 18:53:42 -0800

Free-agent DT Dontari Poe (Chiefs) is visiting the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, March 12, and he is also drawing interest from the Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons, Oakland Raiders and Miami Dolphins.

Looking that way. I wonder if the brass tries to add depth in FA or the draft? Not a great class for NT types. A few run stuffers available on the market though...

Newhouse heads to Raiders on two-year deal
Raiders signed OT Marshall Newhouse, formerly of the Giants, to a two-year contract.

The Giants' No. 3 tackle last season, Newhouse should slide into the same role in Oakland. He's a replacement for Menelik Watson, who has departed for the Broncos. Newhouse provides insurance for RT Austin Howard, who is rehabbing from serious shoulder surgery.

Thank God. Giants offensive line just got better.

Mike Garafolo tweets 'Chiefs banged out (cc: @daringantt) an agreement with S Daniel Sorensen: 4 years for $16m, almost half guaranteed. Another $2m in incentives'.

Sort of a surprise but he's become a solid piece

He mentioned looking for dolphins in Miami yesterday when he said he was traded for a stapler and a coffee machine. ��

If they are willing to nickel and dime for $400,000 then I think we will see more re-structures and moves on mid-tier FA's by next week. I believe some cut candidates will emerge once the Chiefs acquire some of these guys. Harris and Gaines should be worried...

I'd take McDougald back /purely a homer beakers statement but I like the kid.

Get ready for that chocolate penii, Dylan.

And you know, a change of teams and being an understudy to a Manning might do him a world of good. We'll see.

Broncos signed NT Domata Peko, formerly of the Bengals, to a two-year, $7.5 million contract.

Packers signed TE Lance Kendricks, formerly of the Rams.

Thanks, bud. Adding it to OP.

Bears | Chicago signs Marcus Cooper
Sat, 11 Mar 2017 14:38:36 -0800

Free-agent CB Marcus Cooper (Cardinals) signed a three-year deal with the Chicago Bears Saturday, March 11. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Lol

DJ Fluker to the Giants on a one year deal.

Any chance you could color the font of Chiefs moves?

Thanks. It's also nice being able to see what the other AFC West teams are doing. :clap:

Bears signed WR Kendall Wright to a one-year, $4 million contract.

Texans re-signed TE Ryan Griffin to a three-year, $9 million contract with $3.25 million guaranteed.

Eagles | Mychal Kendricks still on trading block
Sun, 12 Mar 2017 07:25:12 -0700

The Philadelphia Eagles are interested in at least a fifth-round pick in exchange for LB Mychal Kendricks, according to multiple sources. However, interested teams are hoping that he will be released so that they won't have to give up anything.

Sorry I'm late on the update today, guys. Not much happened anyways.

Love the thread! Thanks for doing it.

So long as you're taking formatting suggestions on the OP, you might consider spoiler tags on previous days. This will condense the post but still keep the info visible for anyone wanting click in on past days.

Nick Foles must be a giant pussy. Signing a two year deal to go back to the Eagles. WTF? Did Jeff Fisher and the Rams **** him up so bad that he will only play for his past coaches? What a waste. Glad he's gone.
