The Patriots are looking to tag McCourty AND sign Revis??? i just looked at the cap space for 2015 and they are 4 million plus over the cap. The 3rd worst cap situation. How the heck can they be able to keep both?

Plus Collins OG and Vereen RB are free agents...hoping they both get away.
Note their current cap situation has $25 mill already designated to Revis. They are trying to get a long term deal done to reduce that cap hit. They're reportedly already in negotiations. Wouldn't be shocked if they get him down to $12-16 mill per year range, keeping him the highest paid CB and freeing up almost $10 mill on the cap.
The Patriots will go down as the winner of the trade between us and Tampa for Revis.

At least the Bills will have a low character coach (Kromer) coaching a low character player (Incognito). Synergy.

Bills about to show people that Rex's problem in NY wasn't about other peoples decisions on players.
Joke, if Revis signs for 13 mill a year, which is what the Jets were originally willing to do. Even after he pocketed a bunch of front loaded money on his previous contract. What a d-bag.A D-BAG with a ring.
I never root for injuries but if they get him at that price or lower well.......
Rob Sims - G - Lions
ESPN Lions reporter Mike Rothstein believes there is little chance free-agent G Rob Sims returns to the Lions.
Rothstein believes the Lions are looking to remake a large chunk of their offensive line, and could see a scenario where RG Larry Warford is the only player that stays put along the line. Sims was solid in 2014, but at 31 years old, he is not a building block asset. Sims is Rotoworld's No. 5 available guard.

Keith Rivers - LB - Bills
The Bills could save $1.7 million against the 2015 cap by cutting WLB Keith Rivers.
Rivers was expected to have a large role after Kiko Alonso went down to a torn ACL last summer, but he only managed 192 defensive snaps. With Alonso set to return, Rivers is a good bet to be cut this offseason.
LaRon Landry - DB - Colts
ESPN Colts reporter Mike Wells does not expect SS LaRon Landry to return in 2015.
Landry was suspended four games for using performance-enhancing drugs last season and struggled to regain his starting role from special-teamer Sergio Brown after he returned from suspension. Indianapolis could save $2.25 million by releasing Landry, but they are already in great cap position for 2015 and are extremely thin in the secondary. Landry could stick around, but he will not be promised a starting job.
Brian Hoyer - QB - Browns
Free agent Brian Hoyer "doesn't know if he'll hit open market" and is open to returning to the Browns.
Hoyer said he would consider re-signing if given a chance to start. He also recently met with OC John DeFilippo and "came away impressed." With Johnny Manziel in rehab, Hoyer's chances of returning have increased. ESPN Cleveland puts his odds of re-signing at 51 percent.

Done deal. Richie Incognito has officially signed with the Bills, source says.

In other news Rex said, "I don't want to make much of this addition, but Incognito reminds me of a young Larry Allen."

I actually wanted incognito at the start of last year I wonder why rex didn't try and get him then?
He'll be 32 when the season begins

Great move by WRECKS. Incognito is the perfect guy to unify that Bills locker room just like he did with the Dolphins
Put up that Big Tent and bring in the lion tamer and the trapeze artists.
The Clown show is already there and ready to roll
So a YOUNG Larry Allen is 32 years old????
I was being facicious. You know how every time we drafted or signed a played he'd say, using Amaro as an example, "there's a little Mike Ditka in that kid." He always compared every player we had to a historically great player.

Greg Hardy is expected to receive significant interest on the free-agent market, but don't expect it to come from the Carolina Panthers.
Citing multiple team sources, The Charlotte Observer reported Saturday that the Panthersare not expected to bring back Hardy following a season in which the Pro Bowl defensive end sat out 15 games while on the Exempt/Commissioner's Permission List. Hardy landed on the seldom-used list following a domestic violence arrest for an incident that occurred last May
Hardy's jury trial on misdemeanor domestic violence charges is scheduled to begin Monday. If found guilty, he'll likely face a six-game suspension under the league's updated personal conduct policy.
Prior to his legal troubles, Hardy had emerged as one of the best young pass-rushers in football. In 2013, he finished third in the league with 15 sacks. His ability, and prime age of 26, makes him an interesting free agency case in a post-Ray Rice NFL.
After paying Hardy more than $13 million for virtually nothing last season, the Panthers appear to have washed their hands of Hardy. Expect other teams to be eager to add a young, star pass-rusher to the mix.

And he's only 10 pro bowls behind possibly the greatest OG to ever play the game. But maybe Rex meant that they look alike
Jason Pierre-Paul's contract became void a few days ago. Still a high chance he resigns with the Giants and it's just for restructuring purposes but they might let him go to test the market.
You think he can return to form? He's only 25 years old.
