At this point I don't care who they sign just as long as they are an improvement...which wouldn’t be hard to do! Hopefully the price isn't too bad either.

Overpaying for 3rd best LT in free agency. Hopefully the Rumors are true that the Cardinals will sign the #2 LT(Jared Veldheer) for $2-2.5 mil less person than Albert is getting.

Miami Dolphins have released CB Dimitri Patterson. But left the door open for him to return at a reduced rate. That clears 5 million dollars for cap. We will go into FA with just north of 40 million.

So has Albert signed yet or not? Looks like munroe is staying in Baltimore so this would be huge....

can't "officially" sign deals until 4pm

I've watched Veldheer quite a bit being an AFC West fan and there is no way he is better than Albert. Maybe as a run blocker I could see the argument but as a pass blocker not even close.

Thanks for the insight...plus Albert is a probowler for a reason he can’t be a bum.

DT Earl Mitchell on the verge of getting signed by the Fins as well. I am glad to see the Fins focusing on their OL and DL/DE positions early in FA so they can leave the rest for the draft

Fantastic news I'm assuming that Mitchell is an upgrade....

Solai gone to the Falcons

Yep from what I'm reading he's an upgrade and cheaper! Sweet!

Wish you the best Paul!

 

[Paolo305613]

Who else do you expect or want the fins to pick up via FA?

 

[Paolo305613]

Gotta admit. It is depressingly painful to see Solai go. Solid player and person. A straight up people-person.

 

[FlyerFinFan]

I'd like to see a OG maybe Joseph and possibly a CB or TE...Daniels was released that would be crazy good.

How about Golden Tate or Decker and find a way to get rid of drop/fumble machine Hartline? I know this won’t be a popular comment but I feel we can improve over him despite his numbers the last couple of seasons. I just think we can find someone more consistent for Tannehill to make his favorite target… I look at both sides of the equation and Hartline dropped a lot of important passes and had responsibility in some of the INTs Tanny throw.

Tyson Jackson and Solai for the Falcons… Not Fins related but I just needed to mention that - THese guys will be relevant again.

I'm not down on Harts but he could definitely be upgraded doubt it though. When Gibson was there he made them all better.

Still would like to see an OT or OG one more!

Everyone is drooling over what the Browns are doing - At least on ESPN and what I see on twitter. And, yes, they got better as far as the quality of players they got - But! they also got older.
