Mariota could go to the Jets, who have top 2 receivers of Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall. Percy Harvin is out, but if he would've stayed, they would've needed a QB and they would have a top passing offense in the NFL automatically
it'll be fun watching their passing game next season regardless if it's Geno Smith or Mariota

Just means that the Duc...Eagles have to trade up to at least the 5 spot of the Washington NFL franchise although the Titans or Jags spots are more likely |

Chargers are expected to go after Cobb & Iupati too As most of these 'league sources' are the players agents I take them most with a grain of salt. I understand the Chargers their Rivers window is half shut, as for Suh everyone with cap space is in this race. Murray and Cobb are the 2 wild cards but as like the NFL.com guy said no one had Jarius Byrd going to the Saints and voila he was one of the 1st day signings I really don't care for the prime FA market, the only true gamechanger is Suh, I like (and thankfully so does my team) the secondary market. Where mistakes don't cost your team for years and you can fill the spot (Suh withstanding) for cents on the dollar as opposed to the prime FA's |

and in other news, some NFL officials are saying Suh to Dolphins like it's already done as well as DeMarco Murray going back to Dallas Whoever ends up with Suh is making a mistake. They're going to tie up record-setting or near record-setting money in a penalty flag magnet that causes problems in the locker room. He's also just one bonehead move away from a lengthy suspension, which he'll inevitably receive. I strongly disagree A) he is not a locker room cancer. I will give you that he has shown immaturity and bad judgement on the field but that was partially the Schwartz culture and a young locker room and a lot of Suh. He is a gamechanger he collapses the pocket even though he is double teamed on nearly every play He is the 2nd best defensive player in the league and should never have seen the light of free agency. He will be the last as the rookie scale will never allow a great young player to break the bank like that till his 3rd contract from now on, QB's not included |

some reporters think Cobb will be the 1st FA to sign. I think Suh is going to Oakland or Miami, Cobb is going to Oakland or TB and TB might come in the draft and shock everybody by picking Mariota 1st overall

I think Suh is going to Oakland or Miami, Cobb is going to Oakland or TB and TB might come in the draft and shock everybody by picking Mariota 1st overall Miami would have to creatively finance Suh's contract. Ross wants to make the big splash but I don't think they can put up the numbers other teams do I think the scariest place, for fans of other teams, he could end up is Tndy. The Bucs will take Winston that has been the scuttlebutt that that was the QB they liked since December. Mariota has a lot of question marks on the field Winston are off. I'll take the player over the character. And pray that maturity will develop. Cobb will not be going to TB they have Vince Jackson and Mike Evans 3 big money WR's with a rookie QB does not make fiscal sense. Indy has been a player in FA since Grigson became the GM if they don't get Suh I can see them going Cobb plus put them in on the O-line LB's and the DB market |

Indy has been a player in FA since Grigson became the GM if they don't get Suh I can see them going Cobb plus put them in on the O-line LB's and the DB market meant Jax instead of TB for Cobb, but I don't think Indy is going after Cobb. if they're going to grab a WR, they're going a cheaper option or just getting stuff out the draft and focusing on DB/LB/OL like you said. I think they focus heavy on OL and DB if they can. that's where Suh comes in, I don't think he's going to Indy. they have bigger needs than a NT like Suh who's going to take most of their cap space it's likely they're going Winston. but as I've heard from several reporters, nobody should be surprised if they went with Mariota since they're the top 2 QBs available and either could go #1. most likely choice is Winston, but don't be surprised with Mariota going #1 overall. if he did, I think it would really change up how the rest of the draft goes |

Unless they find that Winston was behind the grassy knoll he is going #1. What will be interesting is what the Titans do as they have far less depth than any other team do they pass on Mariota and trade down knowing they'll be at or near the top of the draft order again next season where they can pick from a larger group of top QB's coming out in 2016. Or do they make their division mates happier than a pig in shit and take Williams making the Jags the trade up spot for Mariota. Only really see 3 possible bidders the Jets Rams and Duc..Eagles

according to a report, the Dolphins are "genuinely uncertain" if they're going to keep Mike Wallace. I wouldn't either with his contract - guarantee $$ in particular With all the WR's the fish have already let go you would be inclined to say they need Wallace... except for the part about him sucking. Tannehill has to wonder who the hell he's gonna throw the ball to next year. |

With over $9M dead money if they release him as opposed to 4.6 next season I'd say he's staying ...well until next March unless he starts producing |

I understand why they keep him because of that, but I just think he's overpaid. it's too big of a cap hit this season for what he's worth, but they do need a receiver. I don't think Miami is going anywhere in the next year or 2 so they might as well open up some cap space and start making smarter decisions |

McCourtney is the Eagles top priority FA according to reports and the Chargers are extremely likely to re-sign Brandon Flowers Eagles already have a corner-safety tweener in Malcolm Jenkins at the free safety position. McCourty would be an upgrade at the position but What they really need is a true strong safety who can hit. I think the Eagles are looking for a true safety who can fill like a Brian Dawkins-type role and I think McCourty can do that in a sense they're looking for. |

I'd be very surprised(and upset lol) if he goes anywhere. Seems like he really likes it here but money talks with most of these guys. |

Dez is in another category. cobb is not in his league. might just as well tag him, two years in a row, cost about the same, it is the cap hit that skewers it all, ya can't play games with tag numbers. Me, If I owned the Giants ( if ya got em, smoke em), I would have told JPP to take a friggin hike. he is not a top five DE in the NFL. not even close. Dez on the other hand is a top two or three in the NFL. maybe a one. |

With Cobb's signing... He is #12 on the list. | Last Name | First Name | Team | Total Guaranteed | Avg.

Lots of spare names on this list... and it's going to see some significant changes before this offseason is through. |

Dez on the other hand is a top two or three in the NFL. maybe a one. The guaranteed money is going to drive what Bryant and Thomas (and - Jones next year) get. And - looking at what Wallace and Jackson are getting, I am assuming their guarantees are going to be around $6M per. |

McCoy Bills renegotiate contract McCoy gets a $13.125 million signing bonus and a $2.625 million salary for 2015. Coupled with a $250,000 workout bonus, that’s $16 million in year one.
Next year, McCoy gets a $4.8 million salary and a $250,000 workout bonus. In 2017, the salary moves to $6 million, with a $250,000 workout bonus. In 2018, the salary becomes $6.075 million, with the same workout bonus. In 2019, the salary is $6.175 million, with the same workout bonus.
