I don't see how that's a bad thing on the Browns part. They're basically just eating the money because they can. Apparently they're probably just going to release him too.

If they're going to release him, goo d enough. I fully expected them to keep the contract and they'd hope he'd lead them to glory.

Alshon Jeffrey to the Eagles for 1 year, $14 million.

[Berober]

So much analytics I love it

[Maxx]

And apparently Osweiler has told people privately that he feels like he never should have signed with Houston and that leaving Denver was a mistake.

[DFF]

Apparently Jeffrey turned down a better deal, money wise, with the Vikings because he 'believes in Carson Wentz'.

I don't know how I feel about the Cutler thing. This is something I've actively wanted but now that it's happened and we are throwing a bunch of money at Glennon I don't exactly feel happy

He's your problem now  

[DFF]

What was wrong with Glennon? He actually seemed pretty decent / had a lot of upside in his few starts.

In his ability to make him look good so he can cash in with a bigger deal next year.

Jeffrey and Smith are major upgrades over DGB and Agholor. We can cross WR off their list now with a first or second round pick. Unless a stud CB is there at 14, I'm sure they will trade back now.

[Berober]

I just want to point out, that the Browns hired a baseball guy, who proceeded to do basketball things, and it's widely considered a great move.

[Mick]

Bucs land DeSean Jackson.

[Meacon Keaton]

I hope no other team is planning on playing next year. The Eagles are once again Super Bowl champs in the making all because of Jeffrey. My blind Uncle Buck is going to be their best cornerback, but they're destined to win it all, just ask 'em.

[livid]

Stop listening to sports radio @Meacon!  

[Lineker]

Okung is a Charger.

They'll still manage to fuck those up.

That's the fun thing with analytics, it doesn't help you a bit when drafting. But that's a good stockpile of picks for Cleveland.

Brandon Williams is presumably going to get an enormous deal wherever he winds up, won't be Baltimore. But I love the acquisitions of Jefferson and Woodhead. Woodhead is very much the kind of player that Joe Flacco has done well with before, and Jefferson is a massive upgrade over Webb. I'm not as bummed about losing Williams since we have some other options on the defensive line.

It's over man. Super Bowl champs. Wentz-to-Jeffrey is the new Manning-to-Harrison. No one else stands a chance!

[Chris2K]

This free agency period is just showing what an absolutely horrible time we're in for Quarterbacks at the moment. The fact that Mike Glennon is a highly prized free agent just doesn't compute with my mind.
 

[Adam]

Karlos Dansby is coming back to Arizona yet again, apparently.

[gunnar hendershow]

Washington just fired their GM.

[The Buscher]

Giants gave TE Rhett Ellison 4 years, $18 million with $8 million guaranteed.  From the sounds of things he's a really good blocking TE which they do need, but that seems like a steep price to pay for a guy who caught all of 9 passes last year.
