Believe me if you want, but I just had a source I trust a lot tell me the #Vikings are “strongly” pursuing Carl Lawson

Both of those guys will cost big $$$.

Maybe we have more restructuring going on.

#Lions are re-signing Romeo Okwara to a 3 year, $39M contract. Okwara back to Detroit! A solid pass rusher now off the market.

They can back load it which will get them in trouble again.

Maybe we are going for it.

#Cardinals Patrick Peterson has said he's willing to move to safety. This could be very intriguing to a lot of #NFL teams.

(NFL Rumors on Twitter)

Any takers for our vacant safety position? We certainly would have serious veteran leadership out of the safety positions.

Pass.

Move Harrison Hand to safety. Take a flyer on Malik Hooker(injury problems). Maybe Tartt(SF). Draft one with one of our four 4th rounders.

Salary cap will probably jump 15-18M next year so you can factor that in on contracts.

But so can all these other teams that have big cap room.

Yes they can....times the 12 million by 3. I wouldn't be surprised to see Stephen cut (Another 3.5 million). You spread the signing bonus over years of contract. So Thuney 10 million signing bonus over 5 years..you could make it easily under 4-5 million cap hit.

Signing bonus 10
1 3
2 4
3 4
4 4
5 5

Cap number about 5 million

Hearing the Vikings have offers in to Griffin and Lawson. Not surprisingly, Thuney is getting a ton of calls.

My understanding is the #Jets, #Vikings, #Browns have all shown interest in adding #Saints DE Trey Hendrickson, per source. That list is in no particular order.

Former Titans’ TE Jonnu Smith reached agreement with the Patriots on a 4–year, $50 million deals that includes $31.25 million fully guaranteed, @DrewJRosenhaus told ESPN.

I wouldn't give ANY qb $30-50+ mil unless that QB had won me a Super Bowl. Did you win a Super Bowl on your rookie deal? Yes? Great! Here's your hugenormous contract. F it let's just run victory laps and love life. No? Good luck. Next!
