General NFL Free Agency Thread

[Ricky Spanish]

Post any Free Agent signings from around the league in this thread. 

[Mr. Scot]

A little bit of free agent related news this morning.

Former Panther Andrew Norwell took a pay cut to stay with the Jaguars. He won't be a free agent.

The Ravens agreed to terms with guard Kevin Zeitler who'd been released by the Giants.

Two guards---and what do I hope we get out of this free agency?  2 guards (and a CB).

Same, but both of these guys still ended up getting more than we wanted to spend, so no big loss.

All I'm saying is way back when. We signed the wrong guard. Norwell has far exceeded Turner's talent.

Ehhhhh they’ve both been underwhelming

Like jags were gonna cut norwell unless he took a paycut and they have the most cap space in the league.

A pay cut was reasonable since he was overpaid by a prior GM.

To be fair though, he's still making well above vet minimum.

His new deal still makes him a top 10 paid LG with the guaranteed money and as high as the #3 paid LG if he hits the escalators. He's good, they just paid him to be great on that initial contract.

Yeah I just looked up he was their best olineman last year but years before I remember reading their fans were really sour on him. He had some injuries and wasn’t playing well. My mistake.

[Mr. Scot]

Barr was speculated as a possible cap casualty.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. He had a unfriendly cap number not under performance.

You'd be sour on a newly acquired FA for being good when he was paid to be great too. So would I. Mike Wahle is a great Panthers comp.

Interesting note...
