Cowboys haven’t called free agent RB DeMarco Murray since last week.
 
Early this morning, it was discovered that Murray has deleted any references to the Cowboys from his Twitter page, and Also shut down his MySpace page,which has opened the door for further speculation that he won’t be back in Dallas next year.
 
the Jaguars could show “strong” interest in signing Murray.
 
Murray may as well take his time now, Murray would probably be best to survey all of his options in the coming days.
 
Murray and his camp are confident there are teams willing to pay him $8 million per year.
 
Murray, 26, was extremely impressive this season. He ran for 1,845 yards on 393 carries (4.7 YPC) and scored 13 touchdowns, over the course of 16 games and added another 57 receptions for 416 yards receiving.

Report: Dolphins Trying To Trade LBs Philip Wheeler & Dannell Ellerbe
 
the reason why the Dolphins haven’t announced the release of either linebackers Philip Wheeler or Dannell Ellerbe is because they are trying to trade them before 4 PM EST today.
 
Previous reports had said that the Dolphins were releasing Ellerbe and planned to make Wheeler a post-June 1 release.
 
 
Both of them were offseason acquisitions a few years during the Dolphins big free agent spending spree in which they also got Mike Wallace.
 
Ellerbe, still has another three years remaining on his five-year, $34.75 million contract that includes $14 million guaranteed. He stands to make base salaries of $8.425 million (2015), $6.45 million (2016), and $6 million (2017) coming his way.
 
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Ellerbe will free up $5.65 million in available cap space while creating $4.2 million in dead money.
 
Last year, Ellerbe was limited to appearing in just one game due to a hip injury he sustained in early September.
 
 
According to OverTheCap.com, releasing Wheeler after June 1 will free up $3 million in cap space while creating $1.4 million in dead money.
 
Wheeler, 30, still had three years remaining on his five-year, $26 million contract that included $13 million guaranteed. He would have made base salaries of $2.9 million (2015) and $4.9 million (2016-2017) over the remainder of the contract.
 
In 2014, Wheeler appeared in 15 games and recorded 45 tackles for the Dolphins. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 18 outside linebacker in a 4-3 system out of 40 qualifying players.

According to Andre Johnson's brother he's looking at 4 teams: Pats, Packers, Seahawks, Colts

The rich getting richer...

Agreed and it's interesting how FA has been such a big part of those team's success. The last two SB winners alone have been heavy in FA in their respective years, and now you see those teams not only reloading, but being the apple of many free agent's eye.

Seahawks Sign CB Cary Williams To A Three-Year, $18M Deal
 
Eagles CB Cary Williams will be signing with the Seahawks.
 
Williams receives a three-year contract worth $18 million that includes base salaries of $7 million (2015), $5 million (2016) and $6 million (2017).
 
Williams reportedly had contract offers from the Ravens, Jets, and Titans, but it appeared as though he could be headed to Seattle barring a large offer from one of the other teams.
 
Earlier in the day, the Seahawks signed veteran CB Will Blackmon, so they are clearly looking to bolster their depth heading into offseason workouts.
 
Williams, 30, appeared in all 16 games for the Eagles and recorded 60 tackles, two interceptions and 10 pass defenses last year. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 49 cornerback in the league out of 108 qualifying players.

Chargers LB Andrew Gachkar generating interest from the Vikings, Panthers and Raiders. Visits to each this week possible.

 

Gachkar, 26, is a former seventh-round pick of the Chargers back in 2011. He has since played out his four-year, $2,085,900 rookie contract that included just $45,900 guaranteed and appears to have enough interest that he will be able to secure a sizable raise.

 

Last year, Gachkar appeared in 15 games and recorded 49 tackles, a fumble recovery and scored a defensive touchdown for the Chargers. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 28 inside linebacker out of 60 qualifying players.

NFL Notes: Randall Cobb, Bills, Eagles, Falcons, Jets, & Saints
 
 
Randall Cobb
Contract details for Randall Cobb‘s new four-year, $40 million contract with the Packers.
 
Cobb receives a $13 million signing bonus and $3.5 million roster bonus in March of 2016.
Cobb’s salary cap figures are: $5.35M (2015), $9.15M (2016), $12.75M (2017),and $12.75M (2018).
 
The agreement includes $500,000 annually in active per game roster bonuses, which breaks down to $31,250 per game.
 
Bills
Bills are hoping to sign former Vikings FB Jerome Felton.
 
Eagles
Frank Gore‘s decision to back out on a deal with the Eagles definitely caught people off guard in Philly.
Eagles were one of three teams willing to pay more than $9.5 million per year for S Devin McCourty.
 
Falcons
the asking price for free agent S Ron Parker is pretty steep right now, which could lead to Atlanta re-signing S Dwight Lowery.
 
Jets
WR Brandon Marshall has passed his physical with the Jets making the trade with the Bears official as of 4 PM EST.
 
Saints
Joel Corry points out that by declining RB Mark Ingram‘s fifth-year option, the Saints actually saved over $500,000 in salary for the 2015 season, even after they re-signed him.
