What I don't get is they waited all day for their own free agents and it looks like all if not half will be visiting other teams makes no sense. If they want to keep there own then sign them, unless they all want outrages money which might be the case I guess!

Exactly how do we know if they have been talking to nelson and the others just because it's not been reported doesn't mean they haven't

Also, I think it says a lot when players are willing to restructure their contracts.

Both Will Smith and Jahri Evans restructured their deals.

With all of that and PRIOR to the Colston deal, the Saints weren't even 10 million under the cap.

Hmmm...

Restructuring benefits the player. They get the majority of their remaining contract up front as a bonus and their yearly salary goes down. Saving the team cap space somehow.

So, the player isn't doing anything special or charitable. Just getting a guaranteed fat check now instead of later.

It was reported on both guys that they will be testing the free agency market.

Looks like the redskins are taking all WR help lol

Yup. Shefty says Morgan now done, Eddie Royal on deck.

With the 36 million hit to the Redskins cap this year (can level off into next year) plus the money they are spending here (Garcon already turned a lot of money down in Indy). The draft picks they gave away for RG3. I don't know, looks like a train wreck waiting to happen.

Kind of feel bad for RG3.

Of course they are Williams is young and a game changer something this team needs bad! I still think the bengals could use somebody like him and he is still so young. Tired of the older guys getting 1 or 2 year contracts and at the end of there career! They just need some young guys that are vets who they can lock up for many years

Further report: not a done deal yet but Bills "fully expect" to sign Mario, Meacham w/in next 24 hours.

Translation: Mario, Meachem's agent waving big flag for other bidders. Bills may be getting played. Regardless I think 0% chance Bengals get involved.

I will say this. I admit to being curious what its like to be a fan of a team that comes out firing in free agency. Then again, the Steelers and Ravens don't really do that either, so I guess there's that.

Which in turns benefits the team, allowing them to get the Colston deal done prior to free agency starting.

Sure it benefits the player, but without the organization making that happen, Colston is a goner.

Looks like the Bengals are going to sift through 3rd tier guys huh, as the 2nd tier guys are going quick and top tier are out of reach.

To bad we don't have more than 30 or 40 some million to spend. It sucks being poor...
