So what teams are in play for Revis? List would help..
Sounds like pats are front runners, Jets are in there, Browns (think they backed out), and eagles? List is short now.

Probably just the Pats and Browns
Top 3 are probably Jets, Browns and Pats.

I agree with this. Signed Howard. Saffold is a good locker room guy. The Rams moved him around and it pissed him off. But he kept his mouth shut. And I'll say it again, if he's healthy, he's better than most of the OTs that signed today. Raiders are getting the Jets/Browns treatment of people dumping them
They fixed the OL. That's a good start.
What you're hearing is, "He seemed to be good in 2013 with a beastly front 7 wrecking havok on offensive lines."

Raiders signed AUSTIN HOWARD.. fuck yeah!
Yeah I think Allen needs to win 6 or 7 games this year. Who knows, 5 might be enough. The thing about Davis is he doesn't know football and listens to Madden and Wolf. He has a huge hard-on for Gruden and thinks he's god tho, so if Chucky ever wants to come back, I think Davis will give him total control.
Agreed.

Doubted he was - Steelers usually only get solid role players in free agency. I'd be fine if he was Ryan Clark 2.0 and it sounds like he is.
That's my worry - 1 year wonder who took advantage of the guys in front of him but was exposed when play comes to him.
I was talking about Jenkins, not Mitchell. Although I supposed I'd say the same about Mitchell. He appears to be a plus run defender (based off the one season I saw him play a decent amount), which every team can use if they have the luxury of either good corners or another stud safety.

Broncos need to justify this signing by getting Ware.. (Ware + Talib) > Revis.
Who am I kidding? Is Talib even alot better than DRC..No
Revis any team besides the Pats.

Where is the confirmation of Howard signing with the Raiders? Depending on the money, I really like that signing

Lies.
I'm just not sold on Talib outside of a handful of runs in his career, he's been mediocre. I never believed signing him more than 2 or 3 years was a good idea for the pats, and certainly not paying him top money, especially with just how bad his hip is.

PFT just confirmed it on twitter (via the top Jets beat writer)

Raiders have an agreement in place with RT Austin Howard (who is making a visit to Oakland), per source. Jets will lose him #nyj
So the line is gonna look like:
Watson, Bergstrom, Wiz, Saffold, Howard.
Brisel is gonna get cut as he can't play LG.

Steelers need a coverage guy. They already have good run defenders in Troy and Sharknado.
Word is Steelers are high on Mitchell due to his proclivity for picks, but gain, recent.
If Revis goes to the pats there will be a shark hunt with the ny media on idzik for doing nothing.

Welp, that's more than Veldheer was offered...
True.
I watched him play every game. Hes really not very outstanding. Has trouble holding onto the ball if he gets in front which is why he has few ints. Hes serviceable but I think the Eagles needed more.
Yeah, to be fair to Pittsburgh, who else is there at safety? Clemons doesn't answer that bell either.

That's solid. Saffold is an injury risk but can play 4 positions on the OL. Whoever the QB is, there's a potentially good run game to rely on there
e:
Howard 15m guaranteed

PFT reporting the Broncos have pulled their offer to DRC with the addition of Talib.

I actually like Howard, but Reggie overpaid, big time
Whenever teams don't retain their own FAs for reasons outside of performance or even money, I'm always curious...

Possible we might see - Saffold, Watson, Wiz, Brisiel/McCants, Howard
Few different combinations to try.
Pretty big contract for Howard, but I like the signing.
The right side is monstrous. The left is all question marks. Still why the hell did the Raiders not want to retain Veldheer? Other than Reggie basically clearing out Al's picks. Watson somehow had a mysterious calf injury that prevented him from playing worth a damn. Not to mention he's already a fuckin olds.
We need to extend Wiz's contract now and front load some of that money, but he being an Al Davis pick will probably be let go.
Chase Stuart said he turned down the same deal from the Jets, so that actually makes the Jets look bad
I just don't get it... he's of similar talent for half the price.

Kinda wish Reggie would offer Mack, like 12 a year or something.

Titans signing McClusterfff?
Jeeezzuss!!!
Jeeezzuss!!!
No they didn't. Saffold at best is average compared to Veldheer and is getting a sweetheart deal. While the OL is fixed, I guess if fixed means it fucking exists, it doesn't explain letting jenning and Houston go. Or not even trying to get Bennet.
Now RB, a position heading into this season should be stable is weaker and our DL as of right now, the worst in the league, as we let go of one of the better DE of this free agency.
McKenzie fucked up royally. The Raiders should have been making moves today, not letting their best O-line, best defensive and better RB go.
Raiders are getting the shit they deserve today
Vic Tafur had a post up today saying Veldheer told them he wouldn't stay unless they gave him a huge deal. That he hated it there but would stay for the money

They can front load a contract with Mack so the Browns can't match. I would love for them to somehow obtain Mack. That line would be just straight up nasty.
Watson, Wiz, Mack, Saffold, Austin. Even midget Greg could run through the mile wide holes they produce.
EDIT: Also about Jennings, I could care less where he goes. I dislike FlatDMC, but RBs are a dime a dozen.

I know that the dude can't stay healthy all the time but when he does, I believe he's got talent. I still can't believe that Saints game where he shut out Jimmy Graham, and then both were out in the second half I believe.

He's a slight upgrade. Now DRC is going to want a big pay day and some other team (hopefully the Pats) will pay out the wazoo.
