The Atlanta Falcons officially released veteran DT Paul Soliai on Wednesday, as had been previously reported.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Updated from top

‏@RapSheet
For Olivier Vernon and the #Giants, I'm told it's the biggest defensive end deal in history with the most guaranteed money Five years, $85 million for Olivier Vernon with the Giants. The Jaguars were right there, money wise. Giants sold it.

Mike Garafolo reports that the Giants are signing DE Olivier Vernon to a contract.

  • Ian Rapoport reports that Vernon receives a five-year, $85 million contract from the Giants.
  • Rand Getlin reports that Vernon receives $52.5 million guaranteed.

---------------------------------------------------------

 

@TomPelissero
The contract J.J. Watt signed less than 1 year ago averages $16,666,667. If those numbers are on, Olivier Vernon just passed him at $17M APY

-------------------------------------------------------------------

‏@AlbertBreer
Yes, the Giants beat out the Jags for Olivier Vernon. But another darkhorse emerged today -- the crosstown NY Jets. Simply got too pricey.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
 

‏@AdamSchefter
Franchise-tagged Von Miller and Josh Norman must be taking notice of Giants’ deals with Olivier Vernon and Janoris Jenkins...

---/Sigh

 

‏@corryjoel
Olivier Vernon at $17M per year should help Von Miller in his quest to become the NFL's highest paid non-QB.

The Eagles will be giving new QB Chase Daniel every chance to wrest the starting job from Sam Bradford, per source. Not signed as a backup.

-------------------------------------------------------

‏@Rand_Getlin
OT Bobbie Massie has agreed to a deal with the Chicago #Bears, per @JasonColeBR.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Benjamin Allbright reports that the Broncos have inquired about 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick.

  • Jason Cole of B/R reports that the 49ers won’t be able to pry Kaepernick away from the 49ers, as they prefer to hold onto him.
  • Cole mentions that Denver is also interested in Robert Griffin III.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

‏@RapSheet
This is true RT @JasonColeBR: Plan for #Bears is to play Bobby Massie at RT and put Kyle Long back at RG, source said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


‏@Rand_Getlin
I'm told OT Mitchell Schwartz has agreed in principle to a deal with the #Chiefs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

‏@RapSheet
The #Chargers announced a 3-year deal for former #Seahawks DL Brandon Mebane… Seattle had tried to keep him.
 

---------------------------------------------------

‏@RapSheet
And now the attention turns to the best pass-rusher available: Robert Ayers. I'm told he's set to visit the #Bucs.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
