Free agency: strictly rumors and reports, no commentary

Milton : 3/7/2017 12:31 pm
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.

To avoid the clutter. Just the facts, ma'am.

indicated the Eagles were looking to trade Connor Barwin, Jason Kelce, Jordan Matthews, and Chase Daniels. He mentioned he thought Barwin would get traded somewhere on the West Coast. He said there have been no contract discussions between Matthews and the Eagles. Thought he could be moved in a deal for a receiver. He also mentioned Carson Wentz having elbow soreness during the season.

Not sure if anything materializes in this market, but heard today the two RBs that would interest #Giants most: Eddie Lacy + Latavius Murray
So Philly gets both Britt and Alshon?

Would love either of those backs, but realistically I think it costs us too much dough. Think we need OL, TE, and a big possession WR

Either would be amazing. Lacy is a guy that screams Giants. Good talent needs a change of scenery.

Apparently Stephon Gilmore is looking for a deal similar to Janoris Jenkins.

And apparently AJ Bouye has deals in the $12 million range annually.
QB Kirk Cousins and the 49ers seems like it is going to happen.

Someone on Twitter (forget who) said it is now more likely that he plays for the 49ers than the Redskins this season.

On a separate note, there's a very real chance that the Redskins lose their starting QB and both starting WR's.

And their GM wasn't with the team on what's essentially day one of FA. What a mess.

Never thought the NYG would get in on the RB market, but at those prices? It's like buying filet mignon at $5.99/lb.

I think it was rappaport that said teams were interested in him playing guard, not a crazy idea depending on money..

i am sure he prefers center so if someone offers him a starting center job he will take that..

he could also be a good mentor for richburg

I'd be leery of him as a pulling OG coming off a pretty serious ankle injury and all the wear and tear he's accumulated over the years.

djm : 3/7/2017 10:07 pm : link
Why would any team want to sign an old guy and play him out of position no less? That seems foolish. But what do I know...can mangold even play guard? He's been a center his whole career. Makes no sense.

Darin Gantt at PFT was the source on that. Says McCown would accept mentor role. Romo most likely headed to Houston after being released, better O line than Denver.
