H2H Salary Cap
Latest News
03.13.10
Chris Baker signed a two-year, $4.75 million with Seattle, ESPN reports.
Impact:
Baker had just 14 receptions for 142 yards and two touchdowns in 2009. He escapes a deep TE corps in New England, but moves to a less productive offense.
03.13.10
Jo-Lonn Dunbar will have the opportunity to win the starting spot created by Scott Fujita's departure via free agency, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact:
While its very possible the Saints will address Fujita's loss in the upcoming NFL draft, the team has a number of in-house candidates to fill the void at strong side linebacker. Dunbar served as Fujita's primary backup the past two years and would likely be the first in line. However, the team also liked what it saw in first-year linebacker Jonathan Casillas and drafted Stanley Arnoux in the fourth round of last year's draft.
03.13.10
David Garrard noted that he was "not elite" and "middle of the road" last season, and expects to compete with Josh McCown for the starting quarterback spot during training camp, according to the Florida Times-Union.
Impact:
Garrard does have the security of a huge contract in his favor, as well as the fact that McCown doesn't exactly light anyone's world on fire. Still, if the Jags draft a top-level quarterback in the draft, there may be a lot more smoke to the "bench Garrard" fire.
03.13.10
Following his Thursday visit to Cleveland, it is unlikely the Browns will be signing Justin Fargas, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact:
The Browns already have a nice young running back in Jerome Harrison so it is not entirely surprising they balked on him. Still, it would have been nice to add a little more thunder to Harrison's lightning, especially from Fargas who is no stranger to sharing the ball after his days in Oakland.
03.13.10
Adam Terry agreed to a one-year contract with the Colts, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact:
The 2005 second-round draft pick of the Ravens will help replace starting left guard Ryan Lilja. The Colts also signed Andy Alleman in a shakeup of their offensive line.
03.13.10
The Cardinals are expected to continue a dialogue with Charlie Whitehurst's agent in the coming week, the Arizona Republic reports.
Impact:
Whitehurst, a restricted free agent, met with Cardinals officials on Tuesday and Wednesday. Despite having been on an NFL roster for four years, Whitehurst is unproven, since he has virtually no regular-season experience. The Cardinals are looking for quarterback depth. They might feel that Whitehurst is a better use of a third-round pick (the compensation that Whitehurst's current team, San Diego, would receive) than an even more unproven third-rounder in this year's draft.
03.13.10
Joey Porter doesn't seem to have received a contract offer from the Cardinals at this point, but he doesn't seem to have any other visits scheduled, either, the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact:
He met with Cardinals officials on Thursday. Porter wants to play for a 3-4 team in the west, which leaves the Cardinals, 49ers, Chargers and Broncos as possibilities. Of those teams, the Cardinals seem like the most likely fit, maybe followed by Denver. Porter is almost 33 years old, and he's coming off a rocky season with the Dolphins, so he may get lukewarm interest on the open market. That seems to be the case thus far. If he ends up in Arizona, he will probably get a chance to start.
03.12.10
Reports have surfaced that Wes Welker, who is recovering from ACL surgery, also is dealing with a torn rotator cuff, ESPN Boston reports.
Impact:
His knee issue, not the rotator cuff, reportedly remains the main impediment to his return to the field, but Welker plans to play this coming year. Whether he has a shot to be ready for Week 1 remains uncertain, though.
03.12.10
The Eagles signed Hank Baskett to a one-year contract Friday, the Associated Press reports.
Impact:
Baskett was released by the Eagles last September after three seasons in Philadelphia. He then signed with Indianapolis and played 15 games, including playoffs. He'll act as the team's fourth or fifth wide receiver.
03.12.10
Larry Foote will visit with the Steelers Monday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Impact:
Foote did not want to play backup to Lawrence Timmons and was released by the Steelers prior to the 2009 season. He would add some needed depth to the linebacker corps, but would be primarily be in backup duty, limiting his fantasy value.
03.12.10
Nick Collins will sign a three-year, $23.4 million contract extension with the Packers, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact:
Collins has been looking for a long-term deal for over a year now, and showed he wanted to stay in Green Bay by agreeing to a one-year restricted free agent tender earlier this week. He'll receive $14 million in the first year of his new contract.
03.12.10
Larry Johnson signed a three-year deal with the Redskins on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact:
He'll likely complement Clinton Portis heading into the 2010 season, but the way both backs will be used is difficult to predict with Mike Shanahan at the helm. At the least, the Redskins have some insurance for an injury-prone Portis.
03.12.10
Shaun Hill has been granted permission by the 49ers to seek a trade, the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat reports.
Impact:
The good news for Hill is that he'll be able to talk to teams about signing as a free agent, as he's unlikely to return any trade value to the 49ers.
03.12.10
Paris Lenon is visiting the Cardinals on Friday, the team's official site reports.
Impact:
Lenon appeared in 15 games (10 starts) for the Rams in 2009. If he signs with the Cardinals, he will probably serve as a backup linebacker and special teams contributor.
03.12.10
Arizona's recent signings virtually guarantee that Mike Gandy won't play for the Cardinals in 2010, the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact:
Arizona signed three veteran offensive linemen (Rex Hadnot, Jeremy Bridges and Ben Claxton) on Thursday. All are younger and probably cheaper than Gandy. Gandy served as Arizona's starting left tackle in 2009. He's still looking for a 2010 team. He should catch on somewhere, but he's not guaranteed to occupy a starting role.
03.12.10
Ben Claxton signed a one-year contract with Arizona on Thursday, the Cardinals' official site reports.
Impact:
Terms were not disclosed. Claxton was recently non-tendered by the Cardinals, so he probably re-signed for a more affordable price. He will compete for a backup role this spring and summer.
03.12.10
If the team fails to re-sign free agent Darren Sharper, the Saints could move Malcolm Jenkins to free safety.
Impact:
Many believe that Jenkins could be a Pro Bowl-caliber free safety for the Saints. However, with both Sharper and Usama Young occupying that position, Jenkins' best opportunity to contribute is currently at cornerback, a position at which he excelled at Ohio State. If either Jenkins or Young leaves the team via free agency, the Saints could consider moving him to safety.
03.12.10
With the Saints unlikely to add any cornerbacks via free agency or the draft, Randall Gay will likely resume his role as the team's nickel or dime back once camp begins.
Impact:
A rash of injuries to the Saints' secondary forced Gay into starting action near the end. He performed admirably during the Saints' march to the Super Bowl. However, the secondary is much better with him backing up Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter.
03.12.10
In his third year, Usama Young made the transition to free safety seamlessly, backing up Darren Sharper.
Impact:
Should Sharper leave in free agency, Young, who is a restricted free agent, would likely be the favorite to start when the team begins camp.
03.12.10
With the release of Charles Grant, the Saints could be contemplating moving Tony Hargrove to defensive end.
Impact:
While the team has met with a number of free agent defensive linemen, they have yet to sign anyone to fill Grant's role. Bobby McCray filled in when Grant went down with injury last year, however, he is more of a pass-rush specialist than an every-down end. Hargrove played defensive end for most of his career before being moved to tackle once he arrived in New Orleans.
