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

We need to go after Kirk Morrison. He's well worth the 3rd it would take to get him.

Morrison is undoubtedly one of the bright spots on that gang of thugs, and still young.

The dude is a true athlete, but could he mentally adjust after 5 years in Oakland's 4-3? There's got to be a reason greasy Al is offering him up for a 3rd (although it could be because Davis is just plain senile).

Browns sign Benjamin Watson
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 12, 2010 7:05 AM ET
Benjamin Watson is a Cleveland Brown.

Watson, a free agent tight end who played his entire six-year career with the New England Patriots, has signed a three-year deal with the Browns. As first reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, it's a $12 million contract with $6.35 million guaranteed.

A league source who confirmed the deal to PFT says the $6.35 million guaranteed will be paid out completely in the first year of the deal.

The 29-year-old Watson played in all 16 games for the Patriots last season, starting seven and catching 29 passes for 404 yards and five touchdowns.

Cross two off my wishlist...

Rex Hadnot (signed with the Cardinals)
Ben Watson (signed with the Browns)

LJ said him and Portis would be almost identical to him and Priest.

He also said the league hasn't had a good RB tandem in a while. I guess that ****ing moron missed the DeAngelo/Stewart, CJ/Lendale, Thomas Jones/Shonn Greene, Hightower/Beanie Wells tandems.

****ing idiot.

Chiefs also contacted Casey Weigmann about coming back.

LJ has crossed over from slightly delusional to full blown smoking crack.

I loved having Weigmann here but he is what, 52 years old by now?

Chiefs Showing Interest In Free Agent Centers
by Joel Thorman on Mar 12, 2010 3:53 PM CST

The lone offensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs to start every game last season was center Rudy Niswanger. While his effort is noted, the center position is one that comes up often when talking about upgrading the offensive line.

Just this afternoon, 810 WHB's Jake Gutierrez reported that the Chiefs called up former center Casey Wiegmann. We're not sure where the Chiefs stand with that as of now.

As it turns out, the Chiefs are showing interest in another center.

Ralph Cindrich, agent for free agent center Hank Fraley, has said the Chiefs are showing interest in his client.

(Side note: And since Fraley's camp went public with the Chiefs interest it probably means he won't sign.)

Cindrich said Fraley is in Missouri visiting -- but it's St. Louis, not Kansas City. He also said the Chiefs signing another offensive lineman would not change their interest.

Fraley, 32, spent the first five active seasons in the NFL with the Eagles. In 2006, he was traded to the Browns, who were coached by Romeo Crennel at the time so there's your Chiefs connection.

His release from the Browns doesn't necessarily mean he's lost it. The Browns spent a first round pick on Alex Mack last April and need to get him on the field.

Fraley has been noted for his "blue collar work ethic" and his ability to call the plays for the offensive line. He also can play some guard. He appears to fit the "right 53" mold.

Weigman sucked his last year here.

It amazing what a schemes requirements can do to a players effectiveness in said scheme.

In 2007, he graded out as #8 then in 2008 he graded out #2 than when put into a power running scheme he fell like a rock in water.

Javon Walker adds Taco Bell to his game day regime

Free agent Javon Walker says he has regained his explosiveness and intends to continue his career.

Walker underwent experimental surgery last year that supposedly allowed him to regrow cartilage in his knee. "I haven’t done anything lately," Walker acknowledged. "But (I’m) just (looking for) somebody who’s going to dig down deep and say ‘let’s take a look and see what this kid can do.’"
