Moderators can feel free to delete this thread but I thought it would be good to have a thread that only gives info on rumors and reports without any of us chiming in with our opinions on them.
Ravens supposedly very interested in Pryor too. Interesting that the 2 teams linked to him are 2 teams in his division and have seen him play WR a combined 4 times.

Giants have expressed some initial interest in TE Anthony Fasano, according to NFL source. Nothing formal yet. Jets also have some interest.

Who admittedly hung me out to dry (but still swears that a week before the draft that Myles Jack to the Giants in the 1st was a real possibility). He was the first to relay the info to me (which I posted 1st here) about Vernon signing so I guess I'll call him 1 for 2.
He said Okung isn't really a priority. The word on him in the league is that he lost about 3 steps in the last 2 years. If he signs with Giants it will be for either a very team friendly contract or a 1 year Marty B type of deal.
As for other targets in general he said he doesn't expect anything major for 2017 in terms of free agents to the Giants. He did say that Marshall does want to stay in NY/NJ but that he is also not going to take a deal significantly lower than his value. If it was a difference between 1 mil between being here or elsewhere he would likely stay.
I asked him about the O-Line and he said the team really thinks they need to upgrade in one spot only, whether it be RT or RG. If that means signing a LT and moving Flowers to RT I don't know.
Again take it with a grain of salt- the guy works at a sports agency and other than the Myles Jack debacle has been pretty good with info (sometimes breaking it to me an hour or two before I see it here).
@JordanRaanan: Not going to be the only TE #Giants contact. Heard they're monitoring top of the TE market (Bennett, Cook, Doyle, etc) as well https://t.co/gOf5Ws2h7o

The #Rams are in discussions with several teams about potentially trading franchised CB Trumaine Johnson, per teams involved. Big domino.
but a friend in Chicago has a reliable asshat who has told him that the Bears are close to terms with Mike Glennon and looking at trade partners for Cutler.

CSN Chicago is reporting that the Bears are the only team with serious interest in Glennon. The Jets, 49ers, and Bills had some interest but dropped out of the bidding.
I have somewhat of a link to Brandon Marshall. Was just recently told that while he plans on moving to BK full time with his family his three primary targets are the Seahawks, Patriots and Steelers.
He did not mention the Giants as a team of interest to Brandon but that doesnt mean things cant change. The above teams may not have interest/meet his financial demands.
from a writer or asshat?
Also AP with Raiders would be intriguing
Ok last one...
Darrelle Revis with Seattle
all speculation...
Per PFT and Cleveland Plain Dealer on Twitter
Free agent TE Jack Doyle could command $7M annually.
All per roto.

Potential teams to watch in the OL D.J. Fluker market: #Saints #Lions #Seahawks #Colts #Vikings #Giants, #ARZ, #ATL based on a recent call.

Giants/Marshall talk not going anywhere, he wants significantly more than what they're willing to give him
Jpp/Giants are getting closer, still a gap in guaranteed money and small gap in yearly, but length and structure are frame worked
Interest in Okung contingent on money (obviously), but with a lot of interest right now don't see it happening
Hankins has priced himself away from team
Fluker interest real
Again, this isn't really much we didn't already know, but met a guy recently with some "asshat" information sources

was cut, so he should be able to sign right away?
He wasn't cut, they failed to pick up his option.
Technically they declined to pick up his option. Failing would be like the Vikings trying to make a first round pick.

Might be trying to fit Kenny Britt onto the the payroll.
He'd be a huge get for Dallas. He could do for Dallas what Sanu did for Atlanta last season, which would be scary.
Cardinals and TE Jermaine Gresham have reached agreement on a four-year deal, per sources. One TE off the market.
