Broncos offered Osweiler $16M per yr with $30M guarantee. Houston $17M- $18M per yr. Manning shadow/fresh start were factors 

 

Good point. No-win situation following a legend's footsteps

#Texans expect to sign OL Jeff Allen, more offensive help with a lot of holes to fill.

 

The #Eagles signing G Brandon Brooks to a 5-year, $40M, source said.

Brooks leaves for huge money and the Texans replace him with Allen who is good if he can stay healthy. That may end up as an underrated move.

EDIT: Nevermind, they signed Allen for $7M/year. I don't like that "trade"

Take two on that deal for Texans OL Jeff Allen: four years, $28m, $14m in the first year. Misread a text. My bad on that.

Jeff Darling to NFL Media reports that the two most serious contenders for DE Olivier Vernon are the Jaguars and Giants.

Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star reports that Chiefs free agent S Tyvon Branch will meet with the Cardinals for his first visit with teams.

  • Paylor adds that Branch potentially has “multiple” visits scheduled.

In 2015, Branch appeared in all 16 games for the Chiefs and recorded 43 tackles, one sack, an interception returned for a touchdown, a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown and four pass defenses.

Rotoworld...

Free agent S Tyvon Branch will visit the Cardinals.

FOX Sports' Mike Garafolo reports Arizona will "try to close the deal quickly." Branch, 29, spent 2015 as the Chiefs' third safety, but he is a starting-caliber player who was working on a one-year, prove-it deal after injuries derailed his career in Oakland. He'd be an excellent get for the Bird Gang.

@AlbertBreer
And per source, the Dolphins are cutting Brent Grimes, as expected.

@RapSheet
For #Rams DE William Hayes, it's 3 years with a max value of $21M, source said

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
