Courtesy ESPN & Rotoworld:
Pats keeping Aqib Talib for at least one more year after both agreed to a new 1-year contract. Also resigned Kyle Arington to a new 4-year deal. Some conflicting reports on if Emmanuel Sanders was actually signed or not. NFLPA announces they are investigating the Dumervil-Bornocs contract botching. Jets owe Darrelle Revis $1 million due to his bonus being triggered today and it will count against their cap regardless if he ends up being traded in the future. Jake Long expected to make his initial decision between the Rams or the Dolphins during this weekend. Victor Butler teases he's willing to sign with the Saints although the team doesn't appear to be interested in the moment. |

Hopefully the Connor signing won't preclude the Giants from drafting Alec Ogletree in the first.

Pats released Brandon Lloyd due to being unwilling to pick up on his $3 million bonus he would have been owed.
Ravens currently rumored to showing some interest in Elvis Dumervil or at least going the bidding sweeps for him. |

3rd signing of the day for the Giants. Brandon Myers replaces Martellus Bennett as their new TE.
Actually pretty excited about that one. |

Getting Dumervil would make up for losing everyone but Boldin, but Im not sure it'll happen.

The Bengals have.....they....well we are letting Rey Maluaga go (thank goodness) and We're being smart in negotiating with Andre Smith (don't give up all that money to this fat piece of shit). We did however Franchise Michael Johnson (great young DE that was developed in the Cincy system).
Wow, we've got a lot of young talent and we've actually got a system of identifying/drafting/keeping them???? Did Mike Brown Die? We've managed to keept talent in house, while only saying bye to Pacman Jones, Rey Maluga, and Maybe Andre Smith. With Baltimore imploding, and Pittsburgh getting old. Cincy is right there to repeat their 10 win season and get into the playoffs again. |

Jim Irsay's been dropping hints that he's been trying to land a star WR, which is naturally leading speculation that he's putting together an offer sheet for Cruz.
The Giants have like zero cap room. They may not be in position to match any offer Cruz could receive. My gut says he's gone if the Colts put in an offer. |

Courtesy of Rotoworld:
Vikings deny any rumors stating they are interested in Brandon Lloyd. Quote:
Tim Tebow was given a contract offer to play in the Arena Football League if he ends up leaving the Jets and nobody else makes an interesting offer for him. Ed Reed expected to make his decision before the end of next week. Texans still the favorites but the Ravens are getting the chance to match or improve the offer since nobody else seems to be in the bidding. Jets won't be able to trade Darrelle Revis for at least a few more weeks after everyone else teased they are letting his value plummet considering neither the Jets nor Revis hold any leverage for trade deals. Nnamdi Asomugha meeting with the Saints today although 49ers still rumored to be the favorites to get him. Dolphins expected to re-sign Jake Long. |

As an aside, does anyone follow Jim Irsay's twitter feed? Dude is like the Charlie Sheen of NFL owners. Some of those tweets feel like he's on something that would make Hunter S. Thompson jealous.

A bit surprised Long signed with the Rams mostly because of all the recent reports kept teasing Miami was basically a lock to get him.
According to SI, nobody is interested in James Harrison and even a 50% drop in his value would barely generate any interest. Miami considering going after Eric Winston to replace Long at the T spot. Saints showing a lot of interest in signing Nnamdi Asomugha. Bengals and Titans are the current teams interested in Ryan Fitzpatrick. |

Primarily as a veteran backup role but that was before Matt Hasselbeck was released. Now its probably as a Plan B/C if they can't find anyone else.

Also because of the jewish holiday excuse its been inferred the NFL wants Pats/Ravens because Kraft is Jewish which is why the NFL would cow tow to the Pats for the schedule even though the 5th is still part of the jewish holiday as much as the 4th is.

Also, the Ravens are actually going after Dumervil. His LB coach in Denver the year he had 17 sacks is now on the Ravens coaching staff which they see as a plus. Like I said earlier, if they can sign him it makes up for everything but Boldin, they still need to find a WR.

Also The Bengals re-sign Rey Malauga. Not insanely happy that this injury prone guy is getting broken off...but if he can stay healthy he can be a stud.

Almost 25% of the league's owners or co-owners are Jewish so I doubt the move was done solely because of Kraft. The NFL could easily swap that game out with Bal-Pitt, Bal-Hou, Bal-GB, or Bal-Den to maintain a great home opener.
Coutesey of Rotoworld: * Ed Reed currently holding out on signing any new deal with the Texans until they raise their offer to him while also making sure Baltimore stays in the bidding. * The Welker situation took another turn today after Welker's agents are now claiming the Pats did offer him a contract but it was a "take it or leave it" offer. Pats owner stated his offer guaranteed both years although it offered more in the first year if the incentives were reached. * Victor Cruz currently rumored to be staying with the Giants. The issue is every team interested currently values their 1st Round pick being more valuable than Cruz and don't want to pay him Top 10 WR money. * Titans signed Ryan Fitzpatrick to a 2-year deal. |

A thread titled "NFL 2013 Off-Season Thread" should probably just be the words "lol Ravens" and locked.
