JPP has resigned with the Giants.

Chad Reuter four-round mock draft 3.0: Three receivers in top 10

[Lineker]

• Marshawn Lynch coming out of retirement and landing in Oakland may possibly become a thing.
• NY Jets are signing Morris Claiborne as their Revis replacement on a one-year deal worth more than $5 million.
• Josh McCown is visiting the Jets.
• NY Giants are expected to sign Geno Smith pending a physical. The Giants also re-signed backup quarterback Josh Johnson to a two-year deal, Johnson's agent confirmed.
• E.J. Manuel is likely signing with the Oakland Raiders, per league sources.
• The Buccs are signing veteran kicker Nick Folk to provide some competition for last year's second-round pick Roberto Aguayo.

This is also great.

It's a shame he won't swallow his pride, admit he's not cut out to be a head coach, and take another coordinator position, because he'd be a great DC for somebody if he just accepted it.

[The Buscher]

I think the immediate success he found with the Jets in getting to the AFC Title game twice went to his head too much.

[gunnar hendershow]

Yeah I think that's exactly it. He had the immediate success and glory, thought it was on him, and then all the later failures were because of other factors.

I've said it before, but there is a very big reason that in spite of the locker room and the city calling for him to succeed Brian Billick the Ravens did not give him the head coaching job.

[The Buscher]

Bucs sign Nick Folk.

So they trade up to draft a kicker in the second round, and now not even a year later they need to sign competition to light a fire under him.  Lol Bucs.

A few other signings reported over the last few days:

• LB Sean Spence to the Colts
• LB Kevin Minter to the Bengals
• WR Andre Holmes to the Bills

The FBI found Tom Brady's Super Bowl jersey.

Eh, Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke weren't doing much else.

Poe in Atlanta is a solid move for them, they shore up a big position for what on paper should be a better team than this year's that made the Super Bowl.

Ravens signed Brandon Carr to be their 2nd CB. How has he been Cowboys fans?

Solid yet unremarkable.  Not a ballhawk at all.  I'm not all that sad about losing him.  He alright.

[DFF]

Jets have a new starting QB, and it's Josh McCown.

Jets have a new starting QB, and it's EWB's favorite football player, Josh McCown. 

Lemme fix dat for ya.

[The Buscher]

I hope the Bucs retire McCown's number.  He had such a long career there.

[Lineker]

Did Tampa get anything in return? 

[Lineker]

It's being considered to reduce regular season OT from 15 minutes to 10 minutes. 

[DFF]

Giants have re-signed LBs Keenan Robinson and Mark Herzlich
Bears have re-signed DE CJ Wilson and Safety Chris Prosinski
Packers have re-signed LB Joe Thomas
Patriots have released RB Tyler Gaffney

[The Buscher]

Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned and probably won't be.

That's such a great lesson for the kids.  Never speak your mind if you think it's going to upset people who don't feel the same way you do.  Yay America.
