2017 Free Agent rumors and news

that's the best S in FA that the rats got. Hope he made them bleed at least

Weddle last year and now Jefferson as free agent signings in Baltimore. The Matt Elam pick just kind of busting out hurt them. And Ledarius Webb is like 32 years old now.

Jefferson is proof you don't have to run a good 40-time to succeed. He ran a 4.75 at the combine. Although I think he's a bit overrated and I think we can exploit his weaknesses if we understand what he can/can't do.

Not a lot of speed in Baltimore's safeties right now (I doubt Weddle runs like he used to). If we can get Bryant back running 4.40 that's an advantage for us.

Jefferson is more a Rover than a classic S and his int history prove it. It isn't that great of an acquisition
 
Gilmore 14 mil a year.

Ryan's #s at the combine:

COMBINE
STATS:
Broad Jump
116.0 inches
Vertical Jump
32.5 inches
20 Yard Shuttle
4.06 secs
60 Yard Shuttle
11.28 secs
40 Yard Dash
4.56 Secs
3 Cone Drill
6.69 secs
Bench Press
14.0 reps

quick but not fast, willing tackler while in NE, sounds good for the nickel spot
 
Ryan wants to be paid as a starter, and start

he might very well play outside when in 2 CB formations, he is better than Cockrell but he can also slide and play the slot which the other can't

Maybe if we swing and miss on corners we will look at Wallace??

CBS' Jason La Canfora reports there's a "strong likelihood" the Ravens reunite with free agent Torrey Smith.

La Canfora had previously reported Smith would likely end up with the Ravens or Eagles. Now it looks like he'll be returning to the team he departed two years ago. Smith had good chemistry with Joe Flacco. It would be a good move for both sides, though one that would likely send Mike Wallace packing.

Smith to the Eagles

You don't pat a guy like that 10 mil/yr

who said I'd pay that for him? Yet he'd be our #1 CB until Burns finishes his development
 
Eagles are "exploring" free agent WR Markus Wheaton

CBS' Jason La Canfora reports the Eagles are "exploring" free agent WR Markus Wheaton.

He would be a depth piece for a team with no depth at receiver. The Steelers are moving on from the 2013 third-rounder.
