Who says you can't use free agency to rebuild? They have a completely new secondary now with Revis/Cromartie and Skrine. Also got a #1 receiver for a pittance in Marshall.

Nice to see a GM stacking the deck with pieces for his rookie former defensive coordinator Head Coach so that he can really succeed at his job rather than hanging him out to dry insisting on using solely the draft as a means of acquiring impact players.

I am sure Bowles is appreciative.

Let's see what the jets record is before we say they are rebuilt.

Still no QB, or RB.

Would you take Demarco Murray for the #6 draft pick? On one hand, you get to enjoy a top 3 RB for at least 1 year, maybe more. On the other, you have a 30-40% chance of drafting a bust. Would it be tempting to you or is it just a no no to trade that high of a pick for an elite player that you are hoping to draft for cheaper?

Browns dont need a RB, so no.

I somehow missed that the Rams signed Fairley until now. That d line is nasty.

1 year deal I believe. Robert Quinn, Chris Long, Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers and NOW Fairley?

Dallas signs McFadden from Oakland. Eh, at best.

PFF tweeted that Brockers performed avg at best since being drafted. I dont have a membership, nor do I watch many Rams games but thought that was interesting.

At a max of 2.9 million a year I'll take it. I'm sure they will now draft a RB in one of the first two rounds and he won't have to be the main guy right away and they can share time. I actually like the move. Pay a 27 year old guy 8.5 million who just played his first full 16 game season or pay a 27 yeard old guy 2.9 million who just played his first full 16 game season and get a 3rd round compensatory pick in 2016.

Overall average, but shows flashes. Not the type of player you want as your best or 2nd best D-lineman, but as your 4th or 5th best? Geez

How typical Bengals would it be if they missed out on Fairley & Michael Johnson but end up resigning Greshman.

Gresham certainly isn't getting many looks elsewhere. He may end up back in Cincy by default. The Bengals have all the leverage.

Basically got him for free. Wallace and a 7th for a 5th means they dropped about 60 spots in exchange for a solid receiver.

The Vikings did well.

I believe that O-line can make any RB look good. Will be interesting to see how Murray fairs in Phili and McFadden does in Dallas. Def think Dallas could have done better though.

If he's going to drop passes and act like a whiny girl on Twitter then I wouldn't want him here for free.

Depends. If he doesn't return or they don't sign another TE, they will have to use at least a mid round pick on a TE. Hewitt is a solid blocker, but they need someone who can catch. Eifert, despite his talent, is still a question mark. The guy has been hurt more than he's played.
