Free Agency news and signings

Andrew Brandt:

Talked to another team exec who talked to agent, who says Denver didn't send to new contract to him until 8 mins before deadline.

Adam Caplan:

Dolphins announced the signing of CB Brent Grimes.

Everyone else is saying he just had a visit. TBD.

I think Caplan got this one wrong. On the Dolphins site they just announced that he had visited.

Aaron Wilson:

Source says Texans were closer to $5 million per year with Ed Reed, not $6 million to $7 million avg. he's looking for. Talks to continue.

I'd be surprised if he finds a team willing to dish out $7M per or close to that.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Dov Kleiman:

WR Ben Obomanu tweeted that team will release him.

Jason La Canfora:

Marty Magid, agent for Dumervil, said he did not receive revised contract tile 3:42ET and Elvis was faxing it back at 3:55, when DEN cut him

Magid said he hasn't talked to DEN since it broke down, has talked to other teams, "will take a deep breath" and reassess situation

Reed is looking for reputation pay - let the Ravens give it to 'em

Jeff Howe:

I was told very strongly that John Abraham "hasn't signed" with the Patriots.

Jason La Canfora:

Magid disputed part of Broncos timeline. said team changed the terms an hour before deadline, delaying things. Full story ahead

Howard Balzer:

Former #Rams safety Craig Dahl will visit #49ers.

I covered him in college. Originally from Minnesota. Spent his rookie year in New York (N). Next 4 years in STL. Wouldn't be that enthusiastic over burning a roster spot on him. Wouldn't shock me if he wouldn't even make the team. Baalke knows him from his time living in ND.

I think Dumervil goes to KC as a big F U to the Broncos. Would much rather he came here though but it seems we are sitting this FA out

Haha, Yeah, Supreme, the same sentiment was expressed last year about this time - then BOOM suddenly Baalke buys a round for the house!

G/C Dylan Gandy re-signed with the Lions.

Ian Rapoport:

Marty Magid, Elvis' agent: ""We got the final contract at 3:42. We had to review the language, print it, fax it to my client. 12 minutes!"

More from Marty Magid: "We tried to get it done. They called me at 1:55 and said we're going to have to cut him. I said, it's coming thru"

Magid alleged the Broncos sent a deal with numbers not agreed to at 3:33 and he had to call them and get it sent again

Shocking: Marty Magid said a few teams have already called about Elvis Dumervil (No, not the Patriots… yet). Said he's open to return tho

Dumervil's agent blames contract mess on Broncos

Maybe John Elways teeth broke the fax machine at Broncos headquarters after a sneeze. You have to imagine someone's head will roll for this disaster.
