Seahawks were only "half game" behind SF 49ers to take NFC WEST crown. It's highly possible that SEA and SF will be NFL's best team in couple of years. Only SF can counter against SEA/Percy Trade is their 16 draft picks.

Well apparently Wilson is already making an impression on him. Hopefully being on a winning team will do something positive for his psyche.

Bears gave TE Martellus Bennett a four-year, $20 million deal.

You can't say that since your obviously a biased SF fan. Here let me do it for you.
Did SF pay too much for a guy who had 4 TD and wasn't top 25 in catches or yards?
Only Tebow was able to tame Percy. I'm afraid Russel is not Tebow.
Yeah, now I really don't feel bad about the Giants not re-signing him.

:jnc yeah fuck that. 8 million guaranteed from what I read. I like him but not at that price. The unicorn can ride that rainbow right to the Windy City.
EDIT: 5.25 million a year average.

Can understand the Bears doing it though. They've had Kellen Davis suit up every week for the past 4 years.
Just saying, Gigson nailed the draft last year. Not just Luck. I also watched the Packers not look too hot at times on defense. I'm going to trust that he sees something there that others don't
Now, maybe he grossly over-paid to get his guy. Walden said it was only for 4m guaranteed. Not exactly ruinous

Walden is a decent enough pass rush when the other size of the field is stacked.
Obviously a dramatic overpay (what is guaranteed $$$?) but he's less shitty than people say.
He'll burn out 8 weeks into the season if given full reps.
Lol, he was first on the chopping block is Bishop was able to come off of IR. He is useless and a wife beater. Good riddance.

I like the Canty signing. Cody was awful. If we can get James Harrison too, I'll feel slightly more optimistic.

So in other words, if he could catch the football, he'd be a great receiver haha. He's also terrible with his routes, probably accounted for half of Carson's INT total. He is a big tough guy tho, with a great work ethic. Kinda surprised he didn't take a paycut and stay around, but maybe they wanted to upgrade, and with Streater outplaying him, it made him expendable.
Walden guarantee "only" 4m, but no idea what year two cap hit is if cut
Don't know what to expect of the Eagles signings.
We might still sign Francois but of all the DBs and Safeties available Fletcher and Chung were not even on the radar for me. Hopefully this doesn't mean they are done upgrading those positions because they still need another starter at both spots but I guess for that they will just draft rather sign one of the remaining FAs.
Why Chung over Quin or Goldson? Money?
Same with Fletcher. Most beat writers made it seem like Smith was almost a certainty.
Meh bring on the draft.

Says who?
Who was going to play OLB then? Jones? Zombo?
Moses is the only somewhat competent guy at OLB on the Packers roster outside of Maffews.
After Nick Perry shows everyone what a joke he is this year, people will be begging to have Walden back.
Begging. Like a dog.

I love free agency season! These were the best moves the Packers could make.
edit: Come on Bucket, Zombo has been injured since forever so who knows what he is? Nick Perry is an unknown quantity also.
:jnc
Eh, if Bennett really only got $8m guaranteed I think it's a nice signing for them.

I remember Bennett coming up with some good catches last year.

Giants too cheap to offer him 2 million a year. I'll take him for that price.

Every guy mentioned in your post (except Perry, who the jury is out on) is a chip off the same training-camp-fodder block. Swapping one in for Walden is a non-issue because all of them, including Walden (especially Walden), suck.Says who?

5.25 million/yr average. Though I suppose up your goiing off of the guaranteed money....
He's a solid player. Qualiity blocker and can develop into a good receiver which he's still a bit inconsistent. Funny guy, too. Other priorities for the team that needed the money.
Didn't the Bears pass on giving Bennett a multi-year deal and signed Davis instead? Some Chicago reporter tweeted that earlier today.
Players hardly get the full contract. I only count guaranteed money.
Kellen Davis? I hope not.
Stay away from him!
Players hardly get the full contract, but you use the full contract length for division? Serious amounts of Bobmath going on here.
Last season? It wouldn't surprise me. No one really wanted Bennett last year (Giants managed to get him for just a one-year, $2.5M deal) and his value only went up this year after he looked good in the Giants system.

Too bad he'll rot on the line blocking people from killing Cutler.
Is Cuevas over at your place? I think you're drunk.

Sorry bro, he's coming back to Baltimore. He's not what he was, but when healthy, he's an upgrade over Kruger. Sorry Brownies.
And as for Ellerbe, I'm not phased. Jameel McClain is coming back and he's better. Still need one more ILB, but Ozzie will grab a stud in the middle rounds. Shit, Ellerbe was undrafted.

This is what he does instead of being active on the first day of free agency. I love this man.
Q: If he divorces you do you think he would write it on a napkin?

Zombo because Z.
I will legit sue the Ravens and move them back to Cleveland if this happens.
Looked good despite having Eli to throw him the ball.

Walden got the playing time, but I don't really see a difference between him and Zombo. Jones I don't think stands a chance to be successful on the outside, much less inside.
They all really are just replaceable cogs, albeit bad, cogs in the system.
Minus a few good plays here and there like most any NFL player that gets to take the field.
