Free agency round up



Free agency is underway and already teams have started to sign players, i will be keeping you up to date on all the signing in the NFL.

CB DeAngelo Hall has signed a 6 year deal with the Washington Redskins, as the free agency started Hall and the Redskins wasted no time agreeing on a deal. Hall will get $54 million which includes $22.5 million guaranteed and $30 million in the first three seasons.

The Washington Redskins await word from Albert Haynesworth, they have to pursue other option so they have scheduled a visit from DE Chris Canty. Although the Redskins will not be able to sign both Haynesworth and Canty especially after signing DeAngelo Hall , Canty will be the first visitor to the Redskins this offseason.

Kurt Warner and the Cardinals have not reached a deal so the he will become a free agent, it was said that if he didn't sign a new deal with Cardinals then he would retire. The Cardinals say that they are still working on a deal, but he could still end up finding a new home. Maybe the windy city of Chicago.

The Dolphins Managed to re-sign one of the players they wanted before free agency started, S Yeremiah Bell signed a deal that would keep him in Miami for another 4 year with a deal worth $20 million and $10 million guaranteed. But the did not manage to work out a deal with CB Andre Goodman so he will become a free agent. this was just hour after they signed S Gibril Wilson on a 5 year deal worth $27.5 million that includes $8 million guaranteed and $16.5 million for the first three years of the deal.

San Fransisco will try and work out a deal with Alex Smith who will make $9.625 million this year and the 49ers will not allow that, i would think if Smith does not take a new contract he will be released.

Minnasota Vikings are likely to seal the deal at some point today with the Houston Texans QB Sage Rosenfels. Rosenfels will be traded from the Texans to the Vikings for a 4Th round pick, This will give the Vikings even more depth at QB.

Dallas Cowboys have cut QB Brad Johnson and S Roy Williams this will free up around $4.18 million on there salary cap. The Jets have re-signed FB Tony Richardson for a year year deal worth around $500,000 in guarantee money. Buffalo Bills have not yet finished trimming there roaster as they cut G Derrick Dockery and TE Robert Royal. Jeff Saturday has decided to stay with the Colts after rumours that he might be joining the Steelers.

Visits;
DB Renaldo Hill is scheduled to visit Denver today, after he spent the last 8 years at the Miami Dolphins.
OL Jason Brown will visit St.Louis Rams as there has been allot of talk about Brown as he can play Guard or Centre.
OL Geoff Hangartner is scheduled to visit the Buffalo Bills on Friday, If they do sign him he will be a replacement for G Derrick Dockery who they cut on Thursday.
