The Official Free Agency Repository Thread

[Direckshun]

We've done this in years past, and it was super helpful to anybody who didn't want to have to dig through dozens of pages.

We all know the drill here: whenever there is a free agency move, post it in this thread. I will update it here in the OP (along with the aid of any mods who want to help) to help establish one-stop shopping for all your football update needs.

Any and all updates are welcome. The more updates you clog this thread with, the more up-to-date and super-easy-to-follow this thread will be.

If a mod wants to sticky this, I'm cool with that:

Jake Long agrees to terms with Rams

The first overall pick in the 2008 draft has decided where he’ll be playing for the next four years. And it won’t be in the city where he has spent the last five.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, tackle Jake Long has agreed to terms with the Rams.

Long picked the Rams over the Dolphins, who made a late push to keep Long after his multi-day visit to St. Louis ended.

It’s a four-year deal, with a base value of $34 million, for an average of $8.5 million annually. With incentives, the deal can reach $36 million.

The deal has $16 million fully guaranteed, with another $4 million that will become fully guaranteed in 2014.

It’s unclear whether the Dolphins were offering the same, less, or more. In the end, it doesn’t matter. Long, who has made plenty from being a No. 1 overall pick in the days before the rookie wage scale, doesn’t have to take the best offer on the table.

[Mother****erJones]

This will help Albert's deal get done. Now the OTs will go off the board in Free Agency.

[Mother****erJones]

Jason Cole ‏@JasonColeYahoo
LT Jake Long agrees to five-year deal with St. Louis. Max value of $45 mill with incentives. All I have right now

[Hammock Parties]

Hahahaha.

Suck it AustinChief.

[mcaj22]

two crap teams and 9 per was his market

yea real good that turd was you michigan homer

[Mother****erJones]

I know the Phins got John Martin but wonder if theyd wana move up for an OT or if we could move back with Philly if they want Geno and pick up picks, then maybe move back again with Miami if they want a top OT

[Mother****erJones]

Jason Cole ‏@JasonColeYahoo
Second source on Long says its a 4 yr deal for $36 mill. Either way, it's $9 mill per.
Expand

[Mother****erJones]

Ok so Albert should get about 9 per year if KC is serious about keeping him

[Mother****erJones]

Jason Cole ‏@JasonColeYahoo
Ok, first source says it's actually 4-yr, $36 mill. Sorry for initial mistake.

[Mother****erJones]

Albert youre up, let's go Dorsey

This should change things with Alberts negotiations.
