So Tampa making a splash and hit of their top 3 targets for FA. In doing so they weaken the Saints a bit too
The Buccaneers have done really well and are well set for the draft. I would expect them to be looking at Morris Claiborne and Trent Richardson would be an interesting pick.

Do you guys think the niners passing attack could be very good if they got lloyd, considering they most likely will also use their 1st on a passing weapon, crabtree, moss, williams, davis, walker, lloyd and fleener/hill/wright etc looks good on paper

Titans will also win their division with manning, hutchinson and myers and a pass rush heavy draft

The vikes are doing nothing, I'd hope they would go after landry and maybe grubbs
It will be interesting to see if the 49ers go for another WR in the 1st round if they add Lloyd to Moss? It possibly means they are more likely to go for Coby Fleener.

That said, I think the 49ers would already have enough in their roster to go all in and get Andrew Luck (however unlikely that is).

With Peyton Manning going to the Broncos or the Titans and Matt Flynn looking Cleveland or Seattle bound is Ryan Tannehill nailed on for the Miami Dolphins with Mike Sherman being there?

Cowboys 1st FA signing is Kyle Orton, a good signing for a back up QB, he will get to make a challenge for starting in summer camp, more than likely will be a back up very solid signing.

Literally one and half hours after writing that article they decided to write the article saying we haven't offered Matt Flynn a contract, more great reporting by the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

WR's have, IMO, been overpaid so far in FA. Rumour that Manningham was looking for a deal in the $7m per year range.

myers, manning and hutchinson, thats what im talking about. Not sure whats happening with carr, niners were linked but surely they won't be interested after resigning rogers. Detroit doesnt have enough and st louis and tampa got their corners, im hoping minnesota is a possibility for a visit from him as i cant see who else needs him for that amount of money

I would like to see Carr in New England, problem is corners in FA get $$$. It'll be interesting to see what he ends up getting if the market is not there for him.

EDIT: Very Happy Now reading that the Cowboys are close to a deal with CB Brandon Carr and it's expected to be more than the 5 year, $50m one signed by Finnegan.

Gerald McCoy on Twitter - Sorry #bucnation I tried but it looks like @CurtisLofton 50 is an Eagle. Business is business he did what was best for him.

The Curtis Lofton to the Eagles report was refuted by multiple sources.

*SIGNING* WR Laurent Robinson has signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Reportedly a 5 year, $32.5m contract.

That works out at $6.5m per year for Robinson. Payday.

Browns cut OG Eric Steinbach, wonder how healthy he is after missing all of last season, is the starting LG when fit, guess that adds another need to the list.

Hillis' deal with the Chiefs is apparently for the one year worth $3million. Write up another position on the needs list.

TE Kellen Davis has signed a two year deal with the Chicago Bears.

The Jackson deal sounds like some smart business by the Eagles. Saves a nice chunk of cap space this year and guarantees much of the money in the next 2 years with some of it guaranteed against injury. All in all, it means they can ties with him in 2 years if they want without a big cap hit or if they look to trade him at that point it means there won't be a big contract in place to scare off any suitors.

Wow! Laurent Robinson got paid by the Jags!! Big money there for a guy that was a No. 3 WR last year and was plucked out of the waste bin when the Cowboys signed him. He had a good season obviously but can he be a No. 1?? Is this the same Jags owner that was mouthing off about the Skins and Cowboys FA dealings of the past that has just thrown big money at a guy on the basis of half a season of good work??

Chad Henne has signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, on a two-year deal. Actually quite a sensible move on both sides, fairly reliable back-up who can push Gabbert and it's pretty likely Henne will get himself some game time in Jacksonville to try to impress someone else.

Giants activity

CB Aaron Ross will visit the Bengals today and the Redskins tomorrow.

SIGNINGS - Giants have re-signed backup QB David Carr but the details are yet to be released. Also TE Jake Ballard and CBs Michael Coe, Bruce Johnson and Justin Tryon.

Giants signed TE Martellus Bennett to a one year "prove it" deal.

Giants have also signed OT Joel Reinders and TE Larry Donnell. Both have never played a snap in the NFL. Reinders is 6-8 317 lbs and was on the Browns practise squad in 2010. Donnell, 6-6 269lbs, played for Grambling State from 07-10 with 432 receptions and 11 TDs.

*SIGNING* WR Laurent Robinson has signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Reportedly a 5 year, $32.5m contract.

That works out at $6.5m per year for Robinson. Payday.

A big contract for a WR that has only had 1 decent season, he has been around the league for a few years and was cut seveal times, he did well in Dallas as their 3rd WR but played #2 more due to injuries to Bryant and Austin. The guy has been paid as a high #2 WR but will be interesting to see how does with the Jags, as they have a weak QB, would not surprise me to see Robinson cut within a year or 2 for not producing.

Hillis' deal with the Chiefs is apparently for the one year worth $3million. Write up another position on the needs list.

Increases the chances of drafting Trent Richardson I would say.

Agreed. Nice move by Henne there. Knew he wouldn't start in Miami so there is no point returning. Jacksonville gives him a chance at a starting role if Gabbert cant hack it (and last year showed a decent amount of evidence that he could struggle unless given some actual receivers).
Surprised Jason Campbell wasn't pitching himself for this job rather than backing up Cutler for a single year under yet another OC.

Also not sure its been mentioned, but Le'ron McClain I believe has left KC (Hillis related I imagine) and signed with San Diego.
Could potentially take the goaline type work that Tolbert has been responsible for the past couple of years
