Everything Im reading is an up to 8M deal similar to what Okung signed with DEN last year.
Im a bit more excited about the TJ Lang rumors though

The lights were just turned off in our @ESPNNFL studio and look who's still hard at work: @AdamSchefter. #FreeAgency
He was probably working before the sun came up and will be working nonstop.
I'm saying most of that is in incentives. If I had to hazard a guess, the guaranteed money is less than $3M.
Thera an unbelievable video of Aldon at 8:45 am, walking out of the police station. He is Done:

Gets $10m apy and free again at age 29. Win-win.
I don't understand the NFL policy that bars guys like this from the team altogether. Aldon's issues might be too much anyway, but the support of a franchise and teammates would only help.
He's clearly still drunk there, right. I'm colorblind but his eyes look bloodshot. Such a waste of talent. As a niners fan it's hard to understand how such a disruptive pass rusher at such a young age could fall so far from grace. That kid has some demons. Such denial and lies in that video.
It looks like this is old, but I didn't see it posted anywhere. Okung did better this year with his negotiations. 4 years at $53M with San Diego. He's uncuttable in the first two years of his contract.

No tricks to Russell Okung's 4-year, $53M deal with #Chargers. He got $10M signing bonus, fully gtd base salaries of $3M in '17, $12M in '18
Denver radio, Mark Schlereth, said this morning that the Broncos felt that Okung did not have a great year and the Broncos misread the market and thought they could sign him for less.

Been a super quiet day - both for the Pats and the NFL in general. I guess the first wave happened during tampering and into yesterday afternoon.
Some players were taking less to play there during the Manning era. It's possible that this has ended and, coupled with inflation, has created Elway to misread the market in general.

With RGIII's release, 21 of 32 picks from 2012 1st round have either changed teams, are out of football, suspended, or unsigned free agents.

NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock has emerged as a candidate to become Washington’s general manager, sources tell @FieldYates and me.

Patriots had 2 first round picks (#21 and #25) - Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower. I suppose "unsigned free agents and changed teams" would include Hightower and Jones making it a dumb reference point since both of those were outstanding picks.
They also took Tavon Wilson (2nd round), Jake Bequette (3rd Round), Nate Ebner (6th round), Alfonzo Dennard (7th round), and Jeremy Ebert (7th round).

Washington giving WR Terrelle Pryor a one-year, $8 million deal, per sources.
Washington giving WR Terrelle Pryor a one-year, $8 million deal, per sources.
Would have thought he could have received 4-40 from someone
Wish Pats did this deal (partly to keep Butler from going for Cooks as much as I love Cooks)
Same here, but at least the one-year deal means he doesn't have to stay if Cousins leaves in '18
Would much prefer keeping Malcom and signing Pryor - especially to that deal, $8 mill for one season commitment??? - than the prospects of Malcom-Cooks swap. And I love Cooks.
Are Pryor and Cooks similar receivers? Pryor is 6'4" and Cooks is 5'10" and I don't think they are similar at all. With the extended look the team had at Michael Floyd last year, he could fill the Pryor role for cheaper this year due to his looming suspension.
No, I agree, I don't believe they're similar receivers. But if we're looking to get generally Younger at the WR position, I think adding Terrelle Pryor wouldn't be a bad place to start. Even with their potential roles taken into account, I'd much prefer to just SIGN Pryor and keep Malcom to winding up with JUST Brandin Cooks.
Edit clarification
Pryor will be 28 by the start of the season. Cooks will be almost 24.
Edit: To add, Pryor is till learning how to be a receiver while Cooks can do it all. They're literally apples and oranges.
