Good depth signing! Early bird gets the worm, something something still tons of cap space.

Squicken you need to curb your obsession with cutting and firing everyone.

Browns be filling holes. Also hearing murmurs Browns will fill CB and TE holes within 24 hours.

I do like the Browns 3-4 setup so far
Rubin-Taylor-Bryant at DL
Kruger-Jackson-?-Groves at LB
And I'm assuming they'll be targeting either Brandon Myers at TE. Dustin Keller would then be the best TE left in the market.

She's purdy.
Yep it's looking great, Hughes and Winn for DL rotation, James Michael Johnson will make a push for some good playtime at ILB this year I feel. We'll see how Sheard does, this gives the Browns more flexibility for him, or possibly a trade.
I could see Cocong possibly being cut, freeing up more cap space for the Browns, same with Usama Young
I'd much prefer Myers to Keller, With Chud being a TE guru, could get some real spectacular production from him.

I really like what the Browns have done so far in FA. I wonder if they will sign Fitz, he is a definite upgrade over Weeden and he shouldnt cost a ton. I really can see the Browns with Fitz competing for a playoff spot in what should be a weak division this year.

Ugh. Fitz is not the Browns' answer. He's a stop gap, a journeyman. We don't need someone like him to push us over the top. We're still trying to develop Weeden. I'd much rather someone like Jason Campbell or Chase Daniel, to give Weeden a Camp competition, or dare I say, a trade for Mallet.
Wallace ended up with 30m guaranteed. Probably two years like everything else
Look at what the Raiders are doing. The best way to rebuild is to take the big bad. I was wrong about been, and I am not saying that Tomlin will be fired. But tell me I am wrong that the Rooneys haven't demanded accountability after a bad year?

I read he could be dealt; I can understand why as he's probably a better fit at DE in a 4-3. If he's getting traded, don't trade him to Dallas.

What a glorious morning!
Dat depth. I hope today brings some more good news.

No wonder he didn't leave. Still hoping Browns get Myers.
I'll be honest, I think the Giants are going to have a bad year this year as well, however I see the Steelers/Giants in a similiar situation they're in retooling years and not rebuilding. You're not rebuilding when you have an Eli or Ben in their prime.

The do demand accountability. They also know that to maintain a consistent winner you don't start lopping off heads for a poor season.
Talent is getting old. Not much Tomlin can do about that. Cowher had 3 consecutive losing seasons with no fear of reprisal. Owenership had faith in him and knew the team was building a winner.
Steelers nation is used to winning but we've had it good the past 10 years. Maybe another poor season or two will cull all the fairweather fans.

I must say, our front seven is pure hot cakes right now. Hot cakes.

"Sources tell the Philadelphia Inquirer that the Eagles have pulled out of the Darrelle Revis trade talks.
The Jets are reportedly in talks with the Bucs and another mystery team. That unknown organization is not the Eagles. Although they have a need at corner and plenty of cap space, GM Howie Roseman is clearly wary of breaking the bank in the free-agency market once again after the failed "Dream Team" experiment of 2011. He made a sharp, cost-effective deal with former Rams corner Bradley Fletcher on Tuesday night. "

Browns could still make more deals today. Have some interest in Redskins TE Fred Davis
While I like Davis, would rather have Myers, no big injury history.
As for Revis, sure we'd all love a healthy Revis. Denver took the risk for Peyton. Who's going to take the risk (and a huge one, money +1st rounder) for Revis. Could have a huge payoff too. Imagine Revis and Haden both in their prime.

We have nothing to give up in trade. Better to hunt a FA.
Been told to expect a TE and CB signing today too? Excellent!

Free Agency is depressing for a Packers fan. Just makes the wait for the draft feel even longer.

If we get Keenan Lewis and either TE, I'd say we pretty much earned it.

It seems like all the Steelers fans are acting like losing Wallace is no big deal, but I hope they've got a replacement for him. You might not realize what it's like to have an offense that can't stretch the field at all but let me tell you, it sucks. Even stuff that you don't credit to Wallace, like 15 yard crossing routes over the middle of the field to another WR, are somewhat affected by him being out there.
I'd be surprised if the Steelers win 8 games this year, honestly.

Also exciting time to be a Fins fans, seems they're going after Keller too. Didn't expect them to go this hard in FA

I think Browns or Fins could. Both have big questions at QB though. I really like the Browns team outside of QB and WR.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Detroit doesn't have the cap room to be a "big spender." Detroit could easily win 8 games if they shored up the secondary, though. The safety position absolutely killed the team last year.
Also, some in Detroit are reporting that Detroit is the "mystery team" in in the Revis talks.
No thank you. If that happened I'd be infuriated.
The AFC North could be a bit weak this year so I feel the Browns may have a shot at 8 wins. But I'll have to wait to see what else they do this offseason/draft. Our front 7 looks pretty solid but we still need another CB and need to see what happens with the offense.

I think the Dolphins have a pretty good shot at the playoffs.
They were 7-9 last season. The Jets and Bills will suck even more ass next year. 10-6 isn't impossible especially if they get a few more guys and Tannehill develops a bit.

I'd take Fred Davis at a bargain price. We already have Jordan Cameron, and I think Chud and Norv could get a lot out of him. Fred is only 27 though, so it's not like he couldn't come back from the achillies.

I know I'm biased but I would be very surprised if the Dolphins didn't win 8 games this year. They won 7 games last year with a substantially worse roster (plus a rookie QB, plus a rookie head coach, plus we haven't even had the draft yet) and they lost two games in OT and three other games by 7 or less.
Things would have to go catastrophically wrong for Miami to be worse than they were last season. Unless Jake Long, Reggie Bush, Sean Smith, or Karlos Dansby were significantly more impactful than they get credit for, which I just don't see.
Who is replacing Long? I think that might be an issue. I'm still not sold on Tannehill and I worry about giving a second year QB a guy with such a strong and abrasive personality. Poor Ryan is going to be pressure to throw it to Wallace every single play.
That said, I really just want some optimism on record so I can laugh at you all.
Dolphins have the 8th toughest schedule (if measured by 2012 records) and I think their schedule was closer to the bottom of the pack last year. Things don't have to go catastrophically wrong, they can just go a little sideways and suddenly your playoff Team on The Rise Youngry Bunch wins 4 games and everyone is fired.

How could the Lions even afford to give Revis $15m a year?

Rumor that HoFinely is gonna get released?
I wanna see who we sign at Qb
Lee Chaolan

Hmm, that's intriguing as well. Wonder what he'd cost.
Who are some guys you'd like to bring it at QB?
Now that is some action I can get behind! Where did you see that?
Also:
Raiders are the new Astros
Sounds like Bush signed with the Lions. He is back at their facilities right now.
Finley would demand more than Cook. It's going to be a really, really bad signing for whoever does it.

Unlike the Dolphins, Steelers other receivers are more than just warm bodies.

This is actually his first visit. He hasn't signed yet.
