Matt Cassel is headed to Minnesota for a physical; can he beat out Ponder? https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/312289521842651136

Good pickup for the Falcons. They are going to be a title contender again next year.

No mention of the COlts FA pick-ups on here, since no one else is a Colts fan. But I love what they have done thus far.

Probably 3 starters signed headlined by Jets S, LaRon Landry. Also got Erik Walden as a LB and OT Gosder Cherilus from the Lions. Cherilus isnt a headline FA, but ANYONE is an upgrade for the Colts line, so that was huge. Getting a Pro Bowl S is also pretty big, somewhat surprised it hasnt gotten more play for a team who needed secondary help.

I really like this pick up. Need some O-line depth, a rush DE and a good corner or 2 now

Seahawks also signed DE Michael Bennett (9 sacks last year for TB) yesterday. Damn.

#Eagles acquire Arrelious Benn and a 7th-round pick from Tampa Bay in exchange for a 6th-round pick and a conditional pick in 2014.

Dumervil released by the Broncos because of what amounts to a filing error.

John Elway is likely choking some intern to death as we speak.

Seattle and San Fran are going to have a hell of a battle in the NFC west next year. Those defenses are both stacked.

Can't make this up:

[h=1]Stallworth In Stable Condition Following Hot Air Balloon Accident[/h]


Mar 16, 2013 6:14 PM EST

Donte' Stallworth was hospitalized Saturday with serious burns after the hot air balloon carrying him and two other people crashed into power lines.
"He's going to be OK. He has some burns, but he's going to be fine," his agent Drew Rosenhaus said. "He will be able to continue his NFL career. The injuries are not to the extent they will jeopardize his career."
Stallworth played in one game last season with the Patriots and then went on injured reserved with an ankle injury.

Ed Reed left Houston without a deal. James Harrison and Elvis Dumervil are both meeting with Baltimeore. Harrison for the 2nd time.

Reed left to go to a family function. He will be back in Houston and most expect him to sign there. If not then he probably goes to san fran.

Brandon Myers to the Giants ... LOVE that pickup. Had 79 catches and 800+ yards on a horrible Oakland team last year. What is that, the Giants 4th starting TE in four years? Never miss a beat.

Hope you don't expect him to block any. He's the worst in the league as far as TE's go.
