Free Agency news and signings

[BINGO]

Reggie Bush - RB - Dolphins

Profootballtalk.com reports the Lions are the "likely winners" on free agent Reggie Bush.
Bush to Detroit has been perhaps the second worst-kept secret of free agency, behind only Mike Wallace to Miami. PFT's Mike Florio reports Bush would push Mikel Leshoure for the Lions' starting job, and the two would definitely work in tandem. If the Cardinals feel they've lost out on Bush, Bruce Arians' club could begin to put a full-court press on free agent Rashard Mendenhall.

This could be the most underrated signing we will see this offseason. I think Bush in that offense and that turf would make that offense scary good. And if Mendenhall does end up going to the Cards, he and Williams would form a good tandem. Fortunately for us though, they do not have a good oline to create holes for their talented RBs.

Bush to the Lions is an awesome move for both sides...

Pro Football Central:

Cardinals very interested in DJ Williams

Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick open to restructuring . He firmly believes if released Arizona will pick him up. Depends how much $$ to cut down

I'm hearing Patriots tweaking latest contract offer to Welker AKA more guaranteed money. Market not strong enough for Welker he will resign

Damn, Bush to the Lions is pretty big. He could fill the role that has been left empty since Best was injured.

The Bears making a serious effort to fix their offensive line is a big deal too. I feel like the only reason they were easy to beat last year was because if you had a good passrush you were getting at least 5 sacks on Cutler and a ton of hits.

Adam Schefter:

Chargers released TE Randy McMichael.

Pro Football Central:

Colts & Browns are the biggest free agent feud right now. They are battling over several players

Steelers already shopping for a LB. Dan Connor and DJ Williams they are interested in.

Canty Visiting Baltimore still believe Packers have inside slant on him.

----------------------

Nathan Jahnke:

Packers fan favorite TE Tom Crabtree not tendered. While he had 3 TDs on 9 catches, his run blocking wasn't that strong at all.

Aditi Kinkhabwala:

No truth to talk Browns may replace KR Josh Cribbs w Domenik Hixon. At least, not yet. Hixon's camp hasn't heard anything from CLE.

Jets have interest in Rams FA WR Brandon Gibson, according to a source #nyj

Jets have also told free agent WR Braylon Edwards they have interest in re-signing him, but it sounds like they will explore options first.

Jake Long - T - Dolphins

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport adds the Colts to the list of the teams pursuing free agent LT Jake Long.

The Bears, Rams, Colts, Eagles and Dolphins are all now known to be in the mix. Per the Palm Beach Post, the Dolphins haven't changed their stance of wanting Long back, but only at their price. With the way his market appears to be shaping up, Long has likely played his final down in South Beach.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - DB - Eagles

According to the Denver Post, the Broncos have interest in free agent Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

The Broncos can clear a ton of cap space by cutting Elvis Dumervil. To this point, Rodgers-Cromartie's market has not been especially hot. The Denver Post also mentions free agent DT Terrance Knighton as being on John Elway's radar.

Adam Schefter:

WR Jerome Simpson reached agreement with Vikings on a 1-year deal.

One of the few character issue players I'd have had an interest in. He'd have been a 49er from the get go, too, if I'd have had a say in things.
