Deeper into free agency we go, as free agents are ready to sign new deals as the lockout has come to pass. In part, one of my free agent trackers, I covered the notable signings and trades from Tuesday through Thursday. As I write this, teams now have the ability to sign their agreed contracts, and it looks like they will be able to finalize trades starting Saturday. While Nnamdi Asomugha was projected to b ...

The craziness is only getting warmed up but by Tuesday night, we saw a bunch of key players either sign or agree to terms on a new contract. Some players like offensive lineman Doug Free signed new deals with their former teams, while others like prized middle linebacker Paul Poszlusny has reportedly agreed with the Jaguars. While many of the free agent updates below are yet to be finalized until Friday, we ...

The Baltimore Ravens were expected to make some cuts this week as they had to weave their way under the new salary cap, but they were only a few million over, and it seemed all they needed to do was release Willis McGahee to get that done. Baltimore did, in fact, inform McGahee he would be release today, but they also parted ways with longtime veterans like defensive tackle Kelly Gregg, wide receiver Derric ...

The Jets are expected to keep just one of their two starting wide receivers in Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes. Of the two, look for the Jets to keep Holmes as he is the better receiver and seems to have better chemistry with young quarterback Mark Sanchez. Other talented receivers on for free agency include Mike Sims-Walker, James Jones, Steve Smith (Giants), Terrell Owens, Sidney Rice, Vincent Jackson ...

Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis watched his stock rise by leaps and bounds last season as he posted a career year with 700 yards receiving and ten touchdowns. I always felt this kid had more abilities in the passing game than the team gave him since coming out of UCLA a few years back and Lewis finally proved me right. The Jaguars have slapped the franchise tag on Lewis this off-season and have all the int ...

Many teams will be looking for an impact linebacker once the free agent market opens up after the lockout. One linebacker who will be of great interest if Bills' stud Paul Posluszny. Poz will probably get the restricted free agent tag but there is no guarantee that it will hold up after the lockout is over. If Posluszny hits the open market I would anticipate that teams running a three - four style defense ...

As is every year we have some solid defensive lineman ready to hit the open market and a few that have been locked up with a franchise tag before free agency starts. Unlike other years, there is no guarantee that the tags will matter as the league has to decide on if they will count. I would expect the league to honor all franchise rights for this season to defuse anymore drama once the lockout ends. If fra ...

It will be interesting to see if the Chargers and Texans let their star safeties walk this off-season as Eric Weddle and Bernard Pollard would command good money on the open market. Of the two, it is more important for the Texans to resign Pollard as their big problem has been losing key veterans in the secondary. Last season the team failed to resign cornerback Dunta Robinson and his absence cost this team ...

Namdi Asomugha leads the pack of free agents for 2011 as it appears the Raiders are going to let him walk without tagging rights to him. Oakland went ahead and re-signed Stanford Routt to a three year deal towards the end of February instead of Asomugha. While Asomugha may not put up a tone of stats, there is a reason for it as opposing offenses don't want to throw the football his way. Look for Asomugha to ...

This has to be the most important position for free agency, right? Well, maybe kickers aren't tops on the list of noteworthy news, but a steady kicker can win close games for you at the end, or a bad one can be the final nail in the coffin Adam Vinatieri doesn't have much left at age 38 but don't be surprised if he lands on the Colts or a playoff contending team this year. The old man has proven himself in ...
