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

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

‏@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...

‏@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.

    • The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......
    • Truth. Like when UNC hired Butch Davis and then we get hit for recruiting violations. Like yeah, no poo. Dude coached Miami when they we paying like the 33rd NFL team. What did you expect?
    • He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
