Howard and a draft choice for Landry as the Bears attempt to deal is today's rumor.
:eek: OH MY, not sure how I feel about that. Chicago desperately needs Wrs, but Howard is their best Rb. Cohen won't survive that many carries.

Plus the young RB in Miami and his fantasy owners can't be pleased to hear about this. Damien Williams maybe?

Atlanta re-signs PK Matt Bryant -3 year deal worth 10.5 million dollars
Pittsburgh and LeVeon Bell not meeting an amount he is happy with - and he re-iterated that he will look at all possibilities if they Tag him - including : retiring, holding out til week 10, just holding out from camp, playing year and walking away as an FA next year.
Raiders have release Aldon Smith - he has been charged with domestic battery - and by all reports was missing for a day or so, and was then admitted to a rehab clinic
Matt Forte signs a one day contract with Chicago so he can officially retire as a Bear - nice job there

Seattle and Philly make a trade:
Seattle sends Michael Bennett and a 7th round pick to Philly for 5th round pick and Marcus Johnson Wr - This gives inside pass rush for Philly, while Seattle gets better pick and Wr depth is Richardson signs elsewhere and cap space.

Philly is already over cap...not sure how they are making this work.....

Somewhat slow news day...so lets include some other info....
1) Evidently some coaches at the combine didn't behave nicely and once again started asking inappropriate questions to Derrius Guice - NFLPA wants that team or teams banned from combine next year.....
2) Muhammad Wilkerson is visiting the Packers
3) Broncos are shopping Aqib Talib to any, including the Patriots....
4) Draft rumor - Ravens may take a Qb at pick #16, as Flacco has been regressing of late....
5) As expected - LeVeon Bell has said if no long term deal is in place the EARLIEST the team will see him is week 1 - latest could be week 10 - this could get very, very messy.
6) Steelers reworked A. Browns contract saving 9.5 million - but reportedly this is not for cap space to work a long term deal for Bell, but to make room for tag space instead.
7) Legion of Boom is going Bye Bye - Bennett traded, reports are Seattle has requested Sherman Cb to rework the last year of his deal and he refused. Some other rumors have others being shopped as well - Earl Thomas being one of them.
8) Miami may cut Suh...for cap space
9) Patriots cut Martellus Bennett Te - not sure if this means good news for Gronk or not.
10) Bengals Sign DT Chris Baker - formerly of Tampa Bay.
11) Rams send Alec Ogletree OLB to Giants for a 4th and 6th round pick in this years draft

Some of today's moves:
1) Threat level bravo in N.O. - as they MUST meet and contract with Brees before he hits FA on the 14th or the cap hit will be HUGE....... Add to that, Brees cannot negotiate with other teams on the 12th like other FAs as his contract does not expire until the 14th.
2) Looks like Indy will let Donte Moncrief walk in FA
3) LA Rams make another trade - Send 5th round pick to Denver for Aqib Talib - thats four trades before teams can even make trades....
4) Supposedly Seahawks will release Richard Sherman Cb on Friday - $11 million cap savings
5) Denver not expected to tender restricted FA Bennie Fowler Wr - making him an unrestricted FA come the 14th
6) Bucs resigning Ryan Fitzpatrick to be back up Qb again
