News Updates
Quarterbacks
Kirk Cousins (NUCK) - Rumours of a Romo, Cousins threeway trade including the 49ers is rumoured to have been an attempt by Snyder to drive up the price teams might pay for Kirk Cousins.
Tony Romo (NP) - Jaguars have joined Broncos & Texans as possible landing spots for Romo, sounds like he will be paid as a top end back-up rather than as a low end starter, it is amazing how you can fall after two injury riddled seasons.
Mike Glennon (Free) - The Buccs have offered him a contract in range of $14m/yr which would make him the highest paid back-up in the league, if he gets to FA, the 49ers are definitely interested
Jimmy Garroppolo (Free) - It looks likely he will spend the season in New England as no one has come close to offering what they want for the QB, sounds like they want over a mid 1st in payment.
Tyrod Taylor (NUCK) - It is unlikely he remains in Buffalo as other teams hunt him, sound slike the Browns are the favourite to win him to their side, would be a great fit in that offense.
Chase Daniel (Free) - The Jets are looking at Daniel as an option to start for this season, would involve a trade with the Eagles (Eric Decker?) and he would bridge for them til Petty or Hackenberg are ready.
Brock Osweiller (LCAL) - Texans have said he will have to compete for the starting job, not sure who he would compete against, but they have also made comments along lines of not willing to pay starter money for Romo.
Colin Kaepernick (FAIR) - He has opted out of his 49ers contract and is now a free agent, small interest from Jets, but no one else seems interested.
AJ McCarron (Free) - Bengals want a 2nd round pick for him, he is third on the Browns list, after Jimmy G & Tyrod Taylor.
Running Backs
Adrian Peterson & Jamaal Charles (RMTC) - Sounds like neither is generating much attention, especially as there are plenty of other options who will be cheaper, and also the draft class looks excellent at the position as well. Probably the worst year for a FA Running Back
Ryan Mathews (FAIR) - It sounds like Mathews has played his last snap for the Eagles, he is due $4m this season, not guaranteed, likely to be traded or released by Draft Weekend.
Wendell Smallwood (GAUL) - Will be in the mix to start at RB for the Eagles, had a rough rookie year, but camp could see him win the role, though they could take a RB in the draft in higher rounds and then he is in trouble.
Rob Kelley (GAUL) - Gruden was quoited as saying they are hunting for a "Great" RB, this could be troublesome for Kelley, as he may have been good as starter, but if they bring in a big RB from the draft he will definitely get less touches (Matt Jones doesn't even look to be in the mix anymore.
Danny Woodhead (MET) - The 32yr old RB is in talks for a new contract with the Chargers, if no agreement by the end of the week he will be a Free Agent.
Le'Veon Bell (AY) - Has said he is happy to play under the franchise tag, is currently in talks for a long term contract though.
Ameer Abdullah (LOHA) - He has been medically cleared after his previous season injury.
Dallas Running Backs (RMTC) - Sounds like they are trying to trade away Alfred Morris, and sign Darren McFadden to a contract extension, this seems a strange choice to me, especially after DMC spent last season out with ANOTHER injury, while Morris looked solid behind the line.
CJ Prosise (NP) - Seattle have said that Prosise will compete with Rawls for the starting job.
Wide Receivers
Terrelle Pryor (NP) - The free agent WR has a lot of suitors and is going to get a big deal in Free Agency, Browns, Steelers, Giants, 49ers, Titans & Eagles look to be the repeated names chasing WRs this offseason.
DeSean Jackson (FAIR) - Sounds like he will be seeking $10-12m per season in a contract, that is Mike Wallace/Greg Jennings type money (From their FA years), not sure who will pay that, but we will see.
Kenny Britt (AY) - The Eagles are expected to be the first port of call for Kenny Britt, but Vikings have been mentioned in his plans as well.
Brandin Cooks (RMTC) - The Saints are looking for a mid-first round pick, and it sounds like the Titans are now the favourite, the Eagles are the other team repeatedly mentioned.
Kamar Aiken (LOHA) - Browns Bills & Seahawks are the teams mentioned as options for the free agent WR, he should be a good #2 option for them, should be viable for any of these teams behind their starters.
Jordan Matthews (DRUG) - The Eagles are open to trading Matthews away, I have heard that they want at least a 2nd Round pick, could see a swap deal sending him to New Orleans along with some picks for Brandin Cooks.
Jeremy Kerley (USOS) - He has signed a new 3yr deal with the 49ers
Kenny Stills (GAUL) - Sounds like relationships with the Dolphins have soured and he won't be re-signing, he will be heading elsewhere.
Pierre Garcon (USOS) - Is GONE from Washington, they wouldn't pay him, will head elsewhere (maybe)
Brandon Marshall (SWRL) - Marshall has talked to the Patriots and there seems to be interest on both sides
Alshon Jeffery (USOS) - Sounds like the 4pers are most likely to throw money at the free agents
Tight Ends
Jason Witten (LOHA) - The Cowboys will not be re-signing Witten. Could end up retiring, but someone might take a chance (See Vernon Davis to Redskins)
Jack Doyle (AY) - The Colts have not been able to get a deal done, so he will become a free agent.
