OT: NFL Free Agency so far
A lot of interseting moves have been made so ar this off-season. Probably the biggest free-agen signings were Brock Osweiler and Lamar Miller to Houston.
A thread has already been made about this but the Lions have also signed Marvin Jones.
Here is the complete list of free-agent signings: http://walterfootball.com/freeagents.php

ON MY WAY GUYS
(You set someone up for that one. I had to.)
For now, the Unstoppable Throw God himself, the one and only Trevor Siemian.....wait, why is everyone chuckling? Why am I snickering?
*scans below for rest of depth chart*
Oh....
Yeah, they'll need to find someone to be Manning or Osweiler...or both...or neither.
Apparently RG3 is on their list of top options. I dont know how high.
Re-check your stats as the 2015 version of peyton manning was just atrocious - 9 TDs and 17 Ints - both careers worsts..
Minus the drug charges.
Is they are going hard after Colin Kapernick.
Everyone is fleeing Denver (Manning Retires, Osweiler, Danny Trevathon and Malik Jackson are all already leaving). Judging from their recreational activities, I figured NFL players would never leave Denver

That's what I get for trying to be snarky ... It's still weird so many players are leaving so quickly. No reason Broncos couldn't keep winning if everyone stays, they didn't win because of Manning.
That would require some of these players to take a lot less money than what they are getting on the free agent market. Even with Manning's retirement, Denver is strapped. Most hard core Broncos fans that I work with were of the mindset 'this year or bust' for the Super Bowl because they knew Denver was going to lose some people to free agency this off season.
Next will come a string of under 30 retirements.

They're going for the money
Also, Barnwell (the ESPN link above) is not a fan of the Marvin Jones signing, only giving it a C grade. I like his opinion on most everything, but feel he's wrong here.
I think its a pretty reasonable take on the deal. We are kinda overpaying jones imo, but its free agency so thats what happens. He could blow up, similar to how tate did, or he could struggle without AJ on the other side and Eifert in the middle.
Its a pretty average deal not a homerun like managing to trade for a start or sigining an elite reciever but not a terrible choice given the needs and jones being seemingly the best reciever available. If this deal means the lions wont even think about taking a reciever in the 1st round it might even be an A in my book lol

They took $11M in sudden cap space, so spending $8M on the best FA WR available is still a net gain of $3M. What's the problem...

He's an up and comer
Has someone insinuated that it is just another WD account?

Lions resign Ngata. Hopefully, this isn't a bloated contract and has plenty of results-oriented incentives.
Fleener making $36 million should be something that Harbaugh uses in recruiting. Probably why Gentry won't be too hard pressed about moving to TE. If only NM writers made this connection...
