A year ago, we all had a debate on whether or not Mario Williams could play OLB. I believe one of my big talking points was durability, so I say it was a failure. Thoughts?

Marios injury was a freak pec injury

seems like hes always had some sort of nagging injury his entire career.. i wouldnt say it was a downright failure because he had 5 sacks through 4 games i believe before getting hurt.. but sure, whatever team signs him better atleast recognize his injury history..

Lions franchise Cliff Avril

Jaguars franchise Josh Scobee, but Scobee apparently has no plans to sign the tender

@AdamSchefter Texans and Arian Foster reached agreement on a five-year, $43.5 million deal that includes $20.75 million guaranteed.


Time for the Ravens and Bears to pony up.

That is a really good deal for the Texans if you ask me.

Seriously. That Holmes contract is the reason guys like D-Jax think they are worth $10mil/yr

Yup but this new Stevie Johnson contract has to work in the Eagles favor as far as negotiating terms with DeSean now, wouldn't you think? Johnson has 55 more receptions and 7 more TDs the last two years than DeSean had, so you'd have to think they'll use that in their negotiations....at least I hope.

It's really good considering AP got 7-years/$100 million with $36 million guaranteed. I don't think Foster is quite on that level, but he agreed to considerably less. Regardless, great deal for the Texans for a Top-5-10 RB.

Rice and Forte should be pissed. Foster took less than Williams got in his deal....and almost half what AP got. Rice might take a similar, but slightly higher deal. Forte won't take much less than AP got.

It really is. Especially because they might be able to extend Ben Tate for cheap within the next year and have both of those guys for a while.

Yeah, I think its the contract that D-Jax could get at best. Though, since they've handed him half that guaranteed money for one season already, it could probably have to be a little larger. But, it sets the ceiling for a lot of guys (Manningham, etc) who aren't to the level that Bowe/V-Jax/Wallace are.

Didn't we already get it? We can't afford to franchise him, so he's now an RFA.

TyDunne: One look at Stevie Johnson's contract is another reminder at just how well the #Packers made out with Jordy Nelson.

so true

I actually think they could afford to franchise him...but, it'd be so tight to the cap that unless they did a deal with him right away, they wouldn't be able to sign anyone in free agency, even min salary guys.

My hope is that Wallace wants a contract that would scare off most teams. Pats will pay Welker/Lloyd before Wallace....the Ravens would probably take Wallace if they have space, and the 49ers are probably the most likely candidate. But, the other teams in the late round that could use a WR don't really have the ability to make a play. Saints have no pick, Giants/Packers don't need him, Texans don't have cap space (Wallace/Andre would be fucking terrifying), Lions and Falcons don't need him. Then you're up to the Bengals (maybe, prob not), Titans (possible if they have cap space), and Bears. At that point, we are getting a better draft pick than we had, and I'm fine with that.

So, basically, as long as we can avoid the 49ers, or if the Bears/Titans/etc make a better offer, I'm cool with whatever happens.
