I presume they will wait until Houston signs (but it will happen in the next day or so). Not like you have to be under the cap yet, just need to be under the cap by a certain date (IIRC).

 

I think as long as you don't spend over the salary cap number by the end of the season is what matters? No?

All of the top DE available are less than amazing pass rushers. Houston is only 26 and could play multiple positions if needed. Has longer track record than the other guys, too. Remember too that sacks are a small part of the pass rush. You'd trade three or four collapsed pockets / thrown away passes for a sack.

I still think Jairus Byrd is the only free agent worth signing. I'm curious to see where he goes.

 

After the flurry of moves today, my realistic side says a minimum 50% chance that he ends up back in Buffalo, and my homer side says it's closer to 85%. The Rams don't have any money, the Jets need CBs and offensive pieces, and the Redskins have needs all over. The Raiders could step up and make a big offer, but Byrd doesn't seem like their sort of move.

It's amazing, last year vet defensive players couldn't smell a contract. All of them that signed 1 year deals and didn't get injured definitely are getting paid this year. Poor DJ Williams.

While Denver focuses on DeMarcus Ware…Vikings free-agent DE Jared Allen is talking with the Bears and Seattle Seahawks, per league source.

 

I'm intrigued. Though competing with Seattle gives me doubts.

 

I would love to get Jared Allen. He's still pretty productive.

Seattle just paid Bennett and have a lot of other young players who are going to have to get paid. Bears should be in better position financially.

The question is does Allen care about getting paid again or winning right now. His first FA contract was the biggest all-time for a defensive player, so he has gotten the big payday.

Amazed Broncos have Ward and Talib signed. How do they have that money? Also, sorry site about Byrd.

 

I'm sure they figured out a way to circumvent the cap for this year while risking their future leverage. With their situation, they have to go all-in this year.

New Orleans, 6 years 54 million. 28 guaranteed. A lot of good teams are adding good players.
