: Report: Cowboys agree to two-year contract with Vikings MLB Jasper Brinkley http://t.co/HaenhFAZO3

[Mr. Scot]

They need to release the Kraken already so he can get on with his life. WTF is the NFL waiting for?

Technically he is 'released'. They've made clear that the Exempt List does not prohibit him from signing a free agent contract.

I'll grant not knowing how long he'll be suspended might put some teams off, but apparently not the Raiders.

[Mr. Scot]

Titans agreed to terms with Brian Orakpo.

As I recall, he was a guy he Falcons had targeted.

Morgan's deal with the Titans is four years, $27 million base, with $3 million more in incentives, so $30 million max. $10.5m guaranteed.

Saints & C.J. Spiller Have “Strong Mutual Interest”

 

mutual interests exists between free agent RB C.J. Spiller and the New Orleans Saints.

 

Spiller reportedly visited with the Saints on Thursday, but has also come up as a potential option for the Cowboys, who just lost DeMarco Murray to the Eagles.

 

New Orleans has shed some cap space through several moves, including TE Jimmy Graham to the Sehawks, so Spiller could serve as a solid complement to RB Mark Ingram.

 

Spiller, 27, was limited to appearing in nine games and rushing for 300 yards on 78 carries (3.8 YPC) to go along with 19 receptions for 125 yards receiving and one touchdown.

Redskins are signing former 49ers CB Chris Culliver to a four-year deal.

Culliver receives a four-year, $32 million contract from the Redskins

 

Previous reports had said that Culliver was likely to be one of the most sought after cornerbacks in this year’s market, but there had been a limited amount of buzz in recent days.

 

Culliver figures to be a solid addition for the Redskins, who could really use another cornerback in their secondary.

 

Culliver, 26, recorded 45 tackles, four interceptions, a forced fumble, a recovery, a defensive touchdown and 15 pass defenses for the 49ers in 2014. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 14 cornerback out of 108 qualifying players.

Browns have interest in former Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe,  “strong interest.”

 

mentioned not too long ago that the Browns would at least explore the idea of signing Bowe, and he noted his ties to GM Ray Farmer.

former 49ers WR Stevie Johnson is also expected to be on their radar.

 

It’s worth mentioning that the Ravens and Patriots have also come up as speculative landing spots for Bowe.

 

Bowe, 30, had another three years remaining on his five-year, $56 million contract when he was released. The move freed up $5 million in cap space for the Chiefs.

 

In 2014, Bowe appeared in 15 games for the Chiefs and caught 60 passes for 754 yards receiving and no touchdowns. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 45 receiver out of 110 qualifying players.

Stevie Brown is a guy that interests me a little bit.

I'd consider upgrading at Safety one of our Top 4 needs this offseason. His stock is low because he was coming off an injury last year, but he had some solid years before that, and according to rotoworld and a Giants fan I know, played pretty decent down the back stretch. Not an old player, has a connection to Gettleman. Is somebody I was hoping we'd show an interest in.
