Might as well try to keep it all in one place.

Put news of signings, cuts, etc. here to be discussed.

Maybe a mod will sticky this - I'll do my best to keep it updated.


Signings: Years/Amount/Guaranteed money


Nate Burleson - Detroit - 5 years/$25M/$11M

Gary Brackett - Indianapolis - 5 years/$33M/$12M

Brandon Manumaleuna - Chicago - ???

Yes he does but, he has never been that productive of a reciever, is YAC is terrible and he really isn't that valuable as a return man.

Some rumblings from rotoworld.com

Free agent Chester Taylor is expected to sign a new contract within 48 hours.

We can rule the Texans out, and the Vikings are probably out the picture as well after failing to reach a deal. The Lions may be the front-runners as we head toward midnight.

The Bears have already begun contract negotiations with free agent FS Antrel Rolle.

It's been just hours since the Cardinals released him, so the Bears are getting down to business promptly. Ideally, they'll have Rolle signed up before the free agent market opens at midnight ET, and will be able to turn their attention to DE Julius Peppers at that point. According to the Chicago Tribune, a deal with Rolle "could be in place within the next few hours."

I saw that earlier. It would be nice to land Taylor.

[The Bad Guy]

Cromartie to the Jets for a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Looks like Dunta Robinson is on his way to Atlanta.

That would be a good get for them, their CB's killed them last year.

[Mecca]

Only issue with Robinson is he isn't quite as good as he once was because he had that major leg injury and even with that injury he wanted Houston to give him top 5 CB money, that dude expects bank.

[OnTheWarpath15]

An hour to go.

Reports out of Chicago that they might have Antrel Rolle signed before midnight EST, then know how much they can throw at Peppers.

[pkane]

The latest on Peppers is that the Redskins are close to getting him.

[pkane]

Don't know if this is a repost or not but the Texans put a 1st rd tender on Pollard with hopes of working out a long term deal.

[The Bad Guy]

The Redskins and Dan Synder are awful for the NFL. Just awful.

Haynesworth and Peppers likely on the same defense.

They might have a decent defense if they can get them both to give max effort at the same time.

The Redskins will never win ever.

This uncapped year pisses me off even more because that ****ing Weasel can get out of all of the bad deals he has given over the years.

He's going to have roughly 160 million tied up in 2 guys.

The only place I saw Peppers to Redskins was rotoworld. Everything else I have come across is saying Bears and Seahawks. Rumors are rumors, I guess time will tell.

The guy who reported that the Redskins would sign Haynesworth is saying the same thing about Peppers now. Apparently this guy has major connections in the FO.

If I was a betting man, I'd bet on Pep in DC.
