Titans releasing Demarco Murray, Matt Cassel, Eric Weems, and DaNorris Searcy. Looks like they're gonna go for some big name free agents.

I guess it's a good year to be a mediocre free agent. There's not many good ones out there to soak up all the available cash, are there?

Indeed. There are a lot of capable starters, but not many stars (outside of the huge number of 35+ year old former studs).

Jarvis Landry to the Browns. Poor guy.

Browns are on their way to buying a great team... if they can get somebody to be their QB and not suck.

I still like the Browns picking Barkley and then a QB. That QB will have a good OL, 3 wideouts to throw to, and a frickin' superstar running the ball. A nice way to get started in the NFL.

But as a guy who's been to both Miami and Cleveland, yeah. Jarvis is in for some adjustment.

Browns are making moves.

Bills, too. Looks like they really want to make a move in the 1st round.

Sherman to the Steelers maybe? And I was expecting Landry to the Ravens. What did Cleve give up for him?

[Castiron]

By "play", I assume you mean "line up at"?

Ogletree can play pretty well. Certainly compared to what the Giants have, and I think he can fit Bettchers defense.

Colts definitely want to trade down. Giants might too if Cleveland does grab Saquon.

Damn. Cleveland is wheeling and dealing.

Not unless he moves to S. Pittsburgh's pretty happy with Haden/Burns/Hilton. Plus, I don't think Sherm fits exactly what they want to do. Whatever that is nowadays.

I want to believe in Cleve, but past experiences give me pause. They gave up two picks, this year's 4th and next year's 7th. A good deal for them.

Very good deal or Cleve. I disagree that Pitt is happy with there corners after Lil Art came out and said they needed guys that can play press man. Plus, I think Haden is at the end of the line. Could be wrong, just my perspective.

Safety and LB have been recognized as bigger needs this year. The safety play was well documented garbage with Mitchell expected to be released any moment and rumored possibilities that Davis could be moved to FS. Shazier has been ruled out for this year, so they will need another ILB. They aren't happy with Bud either, but that may go on the back burner depending on how the draft pans out.

After that, they are looking at RB in case of Bell shenanigans and QB in case one falls to them. Probably will go after Bryant's replacement with a mid to late round pick. TE, too, as the quest to upgrade JJ continues. Hopefully Vance stays healthy.

Pats are getting Shelton.
