NFL Free Agency Update Thread

Well they are definitely looking in the wrong direction

 

Yeah, honestly I'm a little surprised they cut bait on Oher so quickly.  $2M in cap savings isn't that much in the grand scheme of things.  Right now, they have a former UFA penciled in to start at RT.  With Oher struggling with injuries last year, I figured they'd at least bring him into camp this season to see if he could regain his form if healthy.

Around $3M of his 2015 salary became guaranteed if he was on the roster at the beginning of the league year so that would have been a major factor in the decision to release him instead of giving a shot in camp.

Ah... yeah, that probably explains it then.

Word that Hakeem Nicks is also visiting the Titans (who reportedly hosted Byron Bell today).

With Crabtree going to Oakland, fatass better be ready to draft a WR early

We're not in a hurry to give Cam weapons or protection just like every other year.

Voth stresses that he may just be visiting, as he's from the area, but you never know I guess:

You can "officially" mark Crabtree off the list.

@KingCrab15

It's official.. I'm a Raider

[KDawg004]

Still a lot of free agents out there that can help us. Chances are they will still be available after the draft. Hopefully Getts can bring a few pieces in.

What's the date that free agents can sign but won't count against the cap/contract not guaranteed?

Height of irony if Leonard Little was the cellmate
