What I meant is that it isn't, say, 7.5 guaranteed over a two year deal, for example.

7.5 million guaranteed, over four years, for a top return man/solid cornerback is a good deal.

http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4690885/brandon-carr-to-get-26-5-million-guaranteed The big F.A. corners get significantly more than that. McKelvin's contract is very reasonable.

James Harrison cut- per his own Twitter http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/03/09/james-harrison-tweets-his-goodbye-to-the-steelers/

Given that Buffalo has Fitz/TJax on the cap for next year, and that Flynn is unproven, there is zero chance they give up a second round pick for him. Where are you hearing that?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000149105/article/william-moore-atlanta-falcons-reportedly-reach-deal That's a premier safety off the market.

To?

That wouldn't work. Teams must have "their own draft pick or better" corresponding to the round in order to sign a tendered player.

Four picks for one player (who will get 7m/year, and probably 15m guaranteed) is different from the Whitner/Ginn deals. Whitner's getting 11.5m over three years. The 49ers traded a fifth for Ginn, who's only getting about 2m/year. You don't give up a first, second, and fourth for a safety making that kind of money, even an All-Pro.

As good as Byrd is, San Francisco is a team that has, and will continue to, build through the draft. You don't spend salary cap space on one player when you know you can snag quality through your own, cheap, multiple draft picks.

There aren't many examples, but here are some trades that have happened: Champ Bailey, tagged in 2004 by Washington, was given permission to seek a trade. The blockbuster Bailey for Portis trade resulted. http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/47177/time-of-reflection-on-champ-bailey-trade Sean Gilbert was traded for two first round picks by Washington to Carolina after being tagged. Incidentally, one of those picks landed Champ Bailey. http://blog.redskins.com/2012/07/17/redskins-historian-sean-gilbert/

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000147173/article/anthony-spencer-trade-a-possibility-for-dallas-cowboys?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter "Now we're learning the Cowboys could have other plans for Spencer. Citing a team source, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday on "NFL Total Access" that Dallas is open to trading Spencer and his $10.6 million salary if a suitor presents itself." The answer is yes.

From Bill Williamson of ESPN (not a rumor, per se, but from Insider): Buffalo has quite a bit of money to spend in free agency and few of its own players should be top priorities, with the exception of franchised safety Jairus Byrd and guard Andy Levitre, who should be the most sought-after free agent at his position. Bringing Levitre back should be a focus, and Buffalo could use more pieces on defense, but the Bills really need to add offensive weapons (especially if they plan to select a quarterback early in the 2013 draft). There are a lot of tight ends on the market and in the upcoming draft class, but free-agent wideout Greg Jennings would be my No. 1 target. Jennings is an established receiver who could legitimize the passing attack. The presence of Jennings would also allow Steve Johnson to see more favorable coverage matchups.

The problem is that he claims to have sources on these potential targets, when in reality they're derived from logical targets for the team. He's had a staggering number of false claims (i.e., Asomugha to the Jets). What's more disturbing, though, is the number of people who take his conjecture as informed and source-based.

No one is trading for Fitzpatrick's contract.

Yep. Approximately 29% of his predictions are accurate. It's absurd that he's taken seriously. Recently, he claimed that LeBron was linked to a steroid ring.

It's amazing that this guy's tweets are taken seriously, and that mentions of him aren't banned from the board like the Bleacher Report. http://nfldraftmonsters.com/news/is-incarceratedbob-a-complete-fraud/

Glenn had an up-and-down rookie season. He didn't play "real well" outside of his first few games.

A.J. Jenkins only had 37 snaps, and was targeted once.

The NFL wouldn't want to break up Ravens-Steelers.

Multiple CBs this offseason will get Brandon Carr money.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Lets-play-the-realignment-game.html?sct=hp_bf5_a5 This isn't based off of any actual traction, but I found the idea interesting.

Yeah, I missed the first part of that post.

Moore is a decent idea; he'll probably come for a short deal (3 or so years) with most of the cash going toward this year's cap. Stay away from Cliff Avril, a 4-3 D.E. who will want a massive, lengthy contract. We already overpaid for Williams out of desperation (note: I think he's a good player, but great organizations don't pay that much money for other team's free agents other than QBs) and can't afford someone like Avril. Grab an offensive lineman and a good L.B. or two who will take a 3-4 year deal at under $4.5m/per.
