Re: NFL offseason thread

The lawsuit in Minnesota to determine whether the NFL has the right to suspend players who test positive for banned substances began today.

Colts cut Ryan Lilja. A bit of a surprise to me.

[Sosa21MVP]

Randle El returns to the Steelers signing a 3 year deal.

 

TO to visit the Bengals.

 

Seneca Wallace traded to Cleveland.

[sweetpeteman]

Ryan Clark resigns with the Steelers.

[dew1679666265]

Linebacker Will Witherspoon is visiting the Titans. I'm not really familiar with Witherspoon, but I believe he's a fairly athletic linebacker who has put up some decent stats.

 

Definitely an interesting prospect.

Ryan Clark resigns with the Steelers.

Wow, talk about a sudden change of heart. He quits almost immediately after he re-signs. :D

Descending player, but still useful at WLB. The Rams' defense got signifcantly worse when he was traded.

The Panthers have continued their youth movement by releasing long-time FB and fan favorite Brad Hoover.

I've heard comparisons to a younger Keith Bulluck, but I really doubt he's that good. I think he'd make a solid stop-gap while Reinfeldt/Fisher look for and develop a young LB.

I have no idea what that team is doing right now.

Giants have punched their Super Bowl ticket. They signed Jim Sorgi.

Aww........Eli has Peyton's caddy.

[NCCubFan]

Figured he'd go from caddying for one Manning to the other.

[hawkeyecub]

Tomlinson is visiting the Vikings on Thursday.

[RedFlash]

 

Filed to ESPN: Thomas Jones signs in Kansas City: two years, $5 million. Chiefs have their running back. No need for Willie Parker to visit.

A day after trading for Seneca Wallace, the Browns cut Derek Anderson.

Wouldn't Be Suprised to see him on the Seahawks

That would be a good move by either the Seahawks or the Rams. He's shown potential and could be at least a stop gap/backup type guy if nothing else.

[dew1679666265]

He visited today and now the Titans have signed Will Witherspoon. 3 year deal worth a total of $11 million ($5 million guaranteed).

 

I really like this deal. The guaranteed money is likely to be very low and he'll still be in his early 30s (33 I believe) when the contract is up. Very good signing by Reinfeldt here.

Rumors are that Carolina may get him since our offensive coordinator used to work with him in Cleveland, which I can accept if given the assurance that he will never, ever, ever start a game, ever, unless we've clinched a 1 seed or something.

[Andy]

Browns now exploring a possible Brady Quinn trade according to Adam Schefter. Looks like they want to blow it up and start over.

that Thomas Jones signing is stupid

 

they already have one of the best backs in football and Battle & Castille probably would have been fine with short yardage

I figured Charles would take off next year in a similar fashion to what we saw from Chris Johnson the past year. He was sensational in the second half of the season.

 

I don't get the Jones move at all for them.

[RedFlash]

ESPN's John Clayton reported Antonio Bryant's deal at four year, $28 million, with incentives that could push it to $29 million.

28 minutes ago via web Sounds like no T.O. in Cincinnati.

 

RT @JOCKlifeSPORTS: @Adam_Schefter Antonio Bryant agrees to four-year deal with Cincinnati Bengals

I think the worry is that Charles isn't going to hold up well to a full workload. Having Jones in reserve and as a short yardage guy seems like a worthy upgrade, especially since it's a 2 year deal so there's little cap implication.
