OT: tOfficial First Day of NFL Free Agency

Could technically be on topic due to Wolverine movements (including the Webb signing) but meh. Movement/discussions began at 10 AM for free agents and I know this is a special time for Lions fans. Personally I'm waiting to see who gambles big on Reggie Bush. 

-Hasselbeck released by Seattle

-Eagles release EVERY UFA on roster

-Carson Palmer retires rather than play in Ohio another season

-Roy Williams cut. Best Lions trade evr?

-Lions rumored to be making a push for Cincinnati's CB Johnathan Joseph

- Kentucky running back Derrick Locke has joined the Vikings (Source/WWL)

-Cancer survivor Mark Herzlich joins the Giants

-South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders to the Steelers

-Jake Delhomme may be cut from the Browns today

-Mike Hart picked up a blocker with TCU's Jake Kirkpatrick going to the Colts

-Broncos offering to trade Orton (lulz)

-Eagles sign everyone ever undrafted

-Henne Watch: Delaware quarterback Pat Devlin joins Dolphins

-Lions add Wisconsin-Stevens Point WR Jared Jenkins and Kent State linebacker Corbani Mixon. Lions expected to pick up Purdue WR Keith Smith (HT: Pride of Detroit)

-Nick Barnett likely out at Green Bay

Discuss.

I am also happy to see Herzlich get signed. I am also pumped to see where all these big name guys go. I am a Chargers fan so hopefully they get their shit straight and resign some guys. Really excited to see where Nnamdi Asomuha (sp?) ends up at. Texans could really use his services, also am hearing Ravens. Its going to be an exciting couple weeks.

Both Mike Hart & Joseph Addai were posted yesterday on the Colts' list of declared free agents.  Others of interest, the Cardinals list both Steve Breaston and Gabe Watson, Dhani Jones (Bengals), Prescott Burgess (Ravens), David Baas (San Francisco), Todd Collins (Bears).  There are probably more, but it's a long list and I haven't had my coffee.

He just did an interview on The Fan here in Columbus.  He said he is excited to be working with his former Michigan position coach Andy Moeller again.  I think that counts as something he said that is positive about his time in A2 so I should wish him luck.  If anyone can build him into an NFL lineman, Moeller can.

but according to the rules, another team would not be allowed to contact said player before he is officially cut by his team.  HOWEVA,  I'm just going to agree with you because I don't want to get into a legal/ethical argument, it's already gonna be overwhelming trying to follow everything that will happen this week, nothing will be official as far as cuts go until thursday and no signing until friday?

John Clay to the Steelers. I wouldn't be surprised if Tomlin looks for him to fill a Bettis-type role since he'll have a few inches and 30+ lbs on Mendenhall. Either way, I just don't see Clay being a prolific back in the NFL. That's not to say he won't be a good back, just not a superstar.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable can explain it to me.  If Palmer "retires" (fills out the papers, etc) how long does he have to sit out for if he wants to sign with another team? Would it be for the duration of his contract? Would Cincy still owe him the money?
