Rams signed DT Aaron Donald to a six-year, $135 million extension through 2024.

At $22.5 million per year in new money, Donald is now the league's highest-paid defensive player.

 

[Phicinfan]

Yeah, as soon as I saw those two contract reworks I knew this was pretty much done.

Good for the Rams, their defense will be very, very good this year.

Wonder if Oakland or Seattle finally blink on their hold outs now

 

[Phicinfan]

cuts are starting to roll in....
- Saints to place Vereen Rb on IR due to hand injury - so while Ingram is away, Kamara, Jonathan Williams and Boston Scott will play
- Carolina Cb Daryl Worley was sentanced to 2 years probation and is now facing a 4 game NFL suspension that he has appealed
- Cowboys releasing Kony Ealy DE
- Eagles have released Qbs Joe Callahan and Christian Hackenburg - big surprise there...
- Falcons have released S Ron Parker
- 49ers are waiving Joe Willams Rb, cut Aldrick Robinson Wr

Walter has to be a happy man this morning.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Bears have "an agreement in place" to acquire DE Klalil Mack from the Raiders

 

[MongerKhan]

Early reports are saying that the RAIDAHS are at least at minimum going to get 2 first round picks plus whatever else.

Cowboys TE Rico Gathers was arrested for marijuana possession Friday night in Frisco, Texas.

The arrest occurred around 10 PM local time. According to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, Gathers has posted bond and is about to be released from jail. Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones implied earlier this week that Gathers was likely to make the team's 53-man roster but Friday's arrest may call that into question. Even if he survives final cuts, the former Baylor basketball player won't have any fantasy significance.

a cut many will not notice is LB John Timo from the Bears. He is a solid player that can help most teams. Bears have too much depth at ILB so he was the odd man out. Will be a solid pickup for someone.

 

[mudloggerone]

Patriots released RB Mike Gillislee. Hill should be sticking around there.

 

[Phicinfan]

in some roster interest:
- Denver for now is keeping Paxton Lynch - please note it is for now....
- Buffalo also is keeping all three Qbs for now.

McKinnon out for season. Why can’t the 49ers have nice things?

 

[mudloggerone]

At least they haven't got Gruden making the calls and screwing the pooch at every turn as he appears to be doing.

True

Was really looking forward to McKinnon in the passing game. Breida is probably a little better runner, but light years behind as a receiver.

 

[Walter34]

SF should line up Jimmy G's girl friend at WR. At least she would be a distraction.

 

[MongerKhan]

Gates back to the Chargers

 

[Phicinfan]

Latest moves and cut changes:
- Giants cut a Qb but it is not who you thought - they cut Davis Webb, so back up for now is Lauletta and Alex Tanney
- Denver cuts Paxton Lynch - admits he is a bust with this cut
- Oakland's cut of Martavius Bryant is reportedly due to a pending suspension...Yikes
- Miami has picked rookie Qb Luke Falk formerly of Tennessee - so is Osweiler or Fales a goner?
- Broncos did claim a vet Qb for depth though - Kevin Hogan...Yuck...
- LAChargers cut Cardale Jones at Qb to make room for Gates - so yeah Geno Smith is #2 - Yikes...

Falk is awesome. The dude got the absolute crap beat out of him at Washington State on a week-to-week basis and still was a hell of a quarterback. I really hope he catches on somewhere.

Miami is as good a shot as anywhere...
