Title: Interesting Things in NFL Free Agency Period
Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 09, 2016, 10:56:18 PM
Interesting moves & non-moves going on.


Quote
With Peyton Manning retired, his supposed successor Brock Osweiler heading to Houston, defensive end Malik Jackson going to Jacksonville, and linebacker Danny Trevathan now in Chicago, the Denver Broncos clearly have been weakened. At least Super Bowl MVP Von Miller has been franchise tagged and won't be going anywhere.


Quote
Linebacker Rolando McClain is returning for a third in season in Dallas. The 26-year-old McClain got one year at $5 million. He also has been with Oakland and Baltimore.

Another one.



Quote
From the moment the Los Angeles Rams released defensive end Chris Long and linebacker James Laurinaitis and placed the franchise tag on cornerback Trumaine Johnson, their primary free-agent priorities became clear: Do what it takes to retain end William Hayes and linebacker Mark Barron.



Quote
The same is true of outside linebacker with Barron. Upon releasing Laurinaitis, Fisher said that the plan was to slide Alec Ogletree to middle linebacker and keep Barron as weak-side linebacker, the position he played in Ogletree's stead for most of the 2015 season. Barron exceeded any expectations, leading the Rams in tackles with 113 to go with a sack and three forced fumbles.

How did Fisher keep his job?  :o The Rams haven't be a challenger since he's been there have they?  :popcorn2: RTR!
