Free Agency Around the NFL Style

Bengals agreed to terms with LG Ted Karras, formerly of the Patriots, on a three-year, $18 million contract.

Bengals are going get 2 guards today probably still much less than Schreff total contract number. Smart

Kind of proves it was all about money for him, and all of his assertions about liking it here and wanting to stay were as fake as they sounded. I can respect if he wanted to go to a winning term or a more highly respected franchise given the history here, but going to the Jags is purely about the money

Nothing wrong with that. We as fans sometimes forget it's a business and the window of opportunity for these players is short maybe 5 years at best.I wish him luck.

Exactly why I didn't want to sign Scherff this offseason. We can extend Flowers and Wes, and probably still sign a guy that can compete to start or be a good backup, for the same or less money that Scherff will get by himself.

Bye bey Kurk Scherff.

There's nothing wrong with going after the money. But this should shut up the "no one wants to come here" crowd. A lot of players are going to chase the money.

Nothing wrong with going for max money as such , just don't appreciate it when guys know they want to get the biggest contract but treat the fanbase like idiots with all of the fake sincerity about playing here, even when its clear that its fake. You can always attract certain players with big money, but you do have to wonder how committed they are to winning once the guarantees are activated

Its a business. Scherff seems like a guy who will retire before 35 and go off living a nice country hunting life. Maybe do guides and what not.

Hes missed a bunch of games but I dont put him in the Doctson category as Ive seen the guy go out of a game looking like hes in a lot of pain only for him return a few snaps later.

But he does seem like a guy that will call it a year early vs a year late.

No bad words for Scherff just hated taking a guard in general at 4 on top of having a guy like Leonard Williams dropping to us.

We offered to make him the highest paid guard in the league and franchised him twice.

He didn’t want to be here…everything he said was bullshit

Jets agreed to terms with LG Laken Tomlinson, formerly of the 49ers, on a three-year, $40 million contract.

So the jets back up plan to Schreff


4 guards landing major contracts today

James Daniels could be a good replacement, but he's going to be looking for $ so probably better drafting a G.

Be interesting to see what Scherrf gets, the top of the market is currently $16m, if he signs for that I wonder if the offer was still on the table from Washington but got withdrawn after the Wentz signing

Norwell from the Jags may be someone to keep an eye on, was a probowler in Carolina before he went to Jacksonville
