Free agency update

With free agency less than a day away, the teams are still trying to re-sign the players they want to keep. I am just going to bring you up to date with all the news around the NFL free agency.

Miami Dolphins have re-signed 2 players in the last few days, they got LB Channing Crowder with a multi-year deal just a few days after re-signing OT Vernon Carey. with less than 24 hours to go before Free agency starts the Dolphins still want to re-sign S Yeremiah Bell and CB Andre Goodman.

Yesterday the Rams released Veteran Trent Green and Drew Bennett, they won't save as much money as they would have liked due to Bennett taking under $5 million of the rams salary cap and Green taking $1.4 million but altogether they made a saving of around $1.8 million.

The Giants Franchised him and now they have signed him, Brandon Jacobs was franchised earlier this offseason, but now the giants have made sure he is not going anywhere for the next 4 years without a trade. Jacobs signed a $25 million deal and gets $13 million in guaranteed money with $15 million for the first two years

Washington Redskins and Albert Haynesworth have not got a deal, i reported that they might be close to a deal. But the Redskins have said that they do not have a deal with Haynesworth, although that does not mean that they are not in the running to sign him. If they were to sign him it would hit the salary cap hard. But it is still uncertain were he is going to go he could even end up back in Tennessee.

New York Jets have released Laweranues Coles. He did still have 1 year left on his contract, but after stating he wants a long term deal the jets decided to let him test the market. The Jets have said he is welcome back, but that does not seem likely as they do not want to give him a long term deal.

Could a world class Center be joining a world championship team, there have been reports that Jeff Saturday would like to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers and after last season i doubt the Steelers would say no, after Ben Roethlisberger was sacked 47 times last season. Jeff also said that he would change position from Center to Guard if that meant he could play in Pittsburgh as the Steelers starting Guard may be lost in free agency.

Also the Falcons may lose Keith Brooking to free agency as the two sides have not reached a agreement on his contract. The Houston Texans released DE Anthony Weaver, S Will Demps and OT Ephraim Salaam. Kicker Mike Nugent is going to test the market this year as he turned down the jets contract. Adam Jones has said that he does not think he has blown his chances in the NFL after he was released from the Cowboys.
