DeMarcus Ware cut, visiting Denver
Quote:
The Cowboys have released their all-time leader in sacks, saving $7.4 million against the salary cap but creating the need to find a pass-rusher for a defense that struggled to get to the quarterback in 2013.

According to a source close to Ware, he will look to make a decision on his playing future quickly and will be selective about where he goes.

The Denver Broncos have emerged as the favorite to sign Ware, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Aqib Talib agrees to terms with Broncos on contract
Quote:
Talib is now teammates with Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker, who left the Patriots in one of the biggest free agent moves of last offseason. The receiver and cornerback collided in the AFC Championship game in a pick play that Patriots coach Bill Belichick later described as dirty.

Talib fills the cornerback void for the Broncos left open when the team released Champ Bailey last week. It is also a reunion for Talib with former University of Kansas teammate Chris Harris, a restricted free agent who received a second-round tender from the Broncos last week.

Source: DeMarcus Ware to Broncos


Adam Schefter discusses the report that the Broncos and DE DeMarcus Ware have reached an agreement on a three-year, $30 million contract that includes $20 million guaranteed.

DeMarcus Ware agreed to a deal with the Broncos on Wednesday, one day after being cut by Dallas.
The deal, which is pending a physical, will pay Ware $13 million this season -- $250,000 more than the star pass rusher was scheduled to make from the Dallas Cowboys, who released him on Tuesday.

Ware's $7 million salary next season also will be guaranteed, according to the source. The deal is contingent upon the 31-year-old Ware passing his physical Wednesday.

Three weeks ago, Ware had two bone chips removed from his elbow. But the injury is said to be doing well, with no issues.

Once Ware was released by Dallas, at least a dozen teams expressed interest.

I'm starting to wonder if Manning told Elway this was his last season if they win the SB.

I personally think he'll play 3 more years if he's healthy.

Dolphins trade Jonathan Martin to the 49ers for a conditional 7th. I'm surprised we even got anything for a turnstile offensive lineman. Heck, even without the signing of Pro Bowl OT Albert, it was already an upgrade. Better hope Martin doesn't see the field in SF or else Kaepernick's going on IR.

Man it's been an intense couple of days so far...

What are the Raiders doing?

Do the Broncos actually have a salary cap? Can they seemingly sign every good free agent on the market?

Where is Revis going?!

Per the above, I actually think Jonathan Martin (who btw played under Harbaugh at Stanford) could recover his career in SF. I like it for the Niners, he could be a decent backup lineman for them. They also made a nice pickip with Antoine Bethea.

They have $30 million to spend(Broncos)

Personally while I do respect the moves they made I also don't think it guarantees anything either.

Don't forget, Tannehill's a former college WR so he's got some legs to him (a 4.58 40 helps too). All the mobility in the world will not help when the DE/LB gets a free and clear line to the QB or the pocket collapses and envelops him. Heck, Luck's praises for his mobility in college likely arose because he had to dodge all the defenders Martin let through.

Raiders are Raiders. A fitting example of what the Lakers could become. Bad things happen when the spawn of owners are given the reins.

Some are saying Revis to Pats. I hope not.

Martin will likely not succumb to the usual football locker room shenanigans (either because Harbaugh will specifically forbid it or the other players will be walking on eggshells during his tenure). Judging by his play even before all this happened, he doesn't have much of a ceiling. Practice squad fodder likely.

Donald Brown to the Chargers...
He was a good late season fantasy pick up last year. Had some big games.
Although I don't know what his role will be playing behind Mathews and Woodhead.

That's a lot of money for a 3rd string back. There are a lot of needs for the Chargers and I don't think RB is one of them.

Dolphins re-signed Randy Starks. I thought that was surprising considering he's no fan of Philbin and you'd think Miami would try to retain the younger Soliai.

(bleep). Revis could've gotten more and longer with another team.

Spawn's father was just as pathetic for a decade and mediocre for 20 years before that.

Raiders void Rodger Saffold's contract. Don't know what's more hilarious. Losing a pretty good LT when they could've put a franchise tag on him, overpaying an oft injured T/G to presumably replace that LT, deciding to play that FA at G which is not cost-conscious, then voiding that guy's contract leaving them with lots of cap space and most of the quality FA's gone.

The Broncos will be really, really good next year, but in 3 years I see them being the NFL version of this year's Lakers. They'll have some tough decisions coming up.

This speaks volumes for Revis, he sacrificed money for a chance at a ring. IMO Belichick and Brady make it worth the sacrifice.
