Thanks Ray

No problemo. $126,502,734 is the cap number ninercaphell.com is using but it could actually be $900,000 higher based on this:


ninercaphell is currently going with $123M plus our rollover and credits bringing the total to $126,502,734.

Report: Jets mulling Darrius Heyward-Bey

A source tells PFT the Jets are interested in free agent Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Per PFT's Mike Florio, it's unclear how much interest the Jets really have, but they're the first team DHB has been directly linked to since getting cut loose by the Raiders. Florio also reports the Colts haven't expressed interest in the former No. 7 pick. Colts owner Jim Irsay has been making vague and bizarre allusions to his team's pursuit of a wideout on Twitter. DHB has more than enough raw skill to get a second chance, but landing in dysfunctional New York isn't what he needs coming out of dysfunctional Oakland.

Antwan Barnes - LB - Jets

Jets signed OLB Antwan Barnes, formerly of the Chargers.

28-year-old Barnes is a situational defender and special teamer, but he has 14 sacks over the past two seasons and gives the Jets much-needed juice as an edge pass rusher in sub-packages. Considering the Jets' lack of outside-edge rushers, it's not out of the question that Barnes will get a legitimate chance to start. He began his career playing in Rex Ryan's Baltimore defenses.

LeGarrette Blount - RB - Buccaneers

The Bucs are still trying to trade LeGarrette Blount.

Unsurprisingly, his market has been ice cold. Blount's one-year, $1.75 million deal contains no guaranteed money, so the Bucs' only impetus to get a deal done quickly would be to clear cap space. If a trade never materializes, the Bucs can still pull the plug on Blount's time with the team free of charge before Week 1.

This offseason thus far has been a mini nightmare to me. From personnel hirings around the league to the 49ers own departure of Tom Gamble to several signings by other teams, especially some contenders, to the 49ers own player departures and now with several players that I wanted to fill in the cracks before the draft signing with other teams.

Nothing was as bad as losing Gamble to me because I'm cautiously skeptical about Baalke's make-up as THE guy heading up a personnel department and I think Gamble's value to the organization was very underrated.

Yep. Miami, Detroit, others. But $ for DEs isn't there across the board. RT @brooklynpod: anyone shown any real interest in Osi?

So that would put his year 1 cap hit at $1,350,000.

Not sure if I missed this being posted but....


Rick Gosselin @RickGosselinDMN The 49ers lost 4 players in FA who started a combined 32 games in 2012. To keep them would have cost SF $91.75 M with $42.85 M guaranteed.

Larry Fitzgerald - WR - Cardinals

According to the Arizona Republic's Kent Somers, there is "zero chance" the Cardinals trade Larry Fitzgerald this offseason.

A Fitz trade is "not happening," reported Somers, who noted that Arizona would absorb a whopping $15 million cap hit to move Fitzgerald. (The Cardinals are already not in great salary-cap shape.) Since Colts owner Jim Irsay tweeted his team was pursuing wide receivers, many rumor mongers have speculated Fitzgerald could be headed to Indianapolis. Look for the Colts to add a significantly lower-profile receiver such as Doug Baldwin or Davone Bess.

Fred Davis - TE - Redskins

The Redskins met Sunday at the Owners Meetings with the player rep for free agents Fred Davis and Rex Grossman.

Drew Rosenhaus reps both players. "Nothing was resolved" at the meeting, and "it's not clear" when either free agent's situation will become more clear. The Browns have made inquiries about Davis. The level of their interest is unknown.

Osi Umenyiora - DL - Giants

Per USA Today's Mike Garafolo, the Lions and Dolphins have expressed interest in free agent Osi Umenyiora.

This is our first Umenyiora news blurb in nine days, which suggests either that league-wide interest in him is light or he's simply asking for far too much money. Osi needs to check his expectations because the defensive end market has produced far weaker contracts than players like Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett expected. Umenyiora may have to wind up settling for about $4 million a year.

Osi's next team
March, 18, 2013 3:14PM ET
By Tim Kavanagh | ESPN.com

Like any of the other veteran pass-rushers still remaining on the free agent market, Osi Umenyiora has probably been horrified with some of the deals being signed by the likes of Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett and Connor Barwin (whose $36 million deal only has $8 million guaranteed). Things have been pretty quiet in terms of Umenyiora's next club aside from speculation earlier this month that the Atlanta Falcons were interested. But, there's a bit of an update on the situation as of Monday afternoon.

Per Mike Garafolo of USA Today, multiple teams -- including the Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins -- have expressed interest in Umenyiora, but obviously whatever's being offered hasn't been up Osi's expectations. A return to the New York Giants hasn't been completely ruled out, but from what the veteran was saying earlier this offseason, it seems unlikely that he'd come back for the kind of role he played in 2012. Soon enough, though, he might be in a different mood regarding such an offer.

Donnie Avery - WR - Chiefs

The Kansas City Star considers Donnie Avery the Chiefs' "likely" starting wide receiver opposite Dwayne Bowe.

The Star projects Dexter McCluster as Kansas City's slot receiver. The paper does not mention 2011 first-round pick Jon Baldwin among the Chiefs' top three wideouts, which perhaps hints he's not necessarily in new head coach Andy Reid's plans. Avery, coming off a 60/781/3 line in Indianapolis last season, would do well to repeat those numbers in Kansas City. We won't project him to.
