Bears got Sam Hurd too

Don't get that one. Salary isn't great, and he's supposedly not competing for a bigger role there than he had in Dallas. That one really leaves me scratching my head.

Time for yet another special teams ace to reveal himself!

RB Willis McGahee reaches agreement with Denver on a 3-yr deal for $7,500,000, including $3 million guaranteed.

Huge upgrade.

Titans sign Chiefs DT Shaun Smith.

He punched Brady Quinn. I like him already.

As John Clayton is reporting, Dolphins signing former Panthers QB Matt Moore and bypassing chance to trade for Kyle Orton.

This is John Elway's first big test as an NFL executive. If he blinks first and trades Orton for peanuts or outright releases him, he'll seem weak to the other teams. Matt Moore is a shit QB, and the Dolphins don't want him anywhere near the starting role. We'll see who can last longer here. The Broncos need cap space, and the Dolphins need a QB.

In other news:

As my man, @LeRonMcClain33 was tweeting, Willis McGahee agrees to terms with Broncos. You gonna join him there, LeRon?

Please let this happen.

There's some confusion on the McGahee front. Checked with more sources and told no deal with DEN. Team likely to workout RBs this weekend...

This might be true considering John Elway hasn't tweeted about it yet. Broncos are one of the most active organizations in the NFL when it comes to social media.

WTG Denver. Seriously though, Orton needs to escape that org. They're holding him hostage.

I'll wait to hear what the contract is for R. Williams to the Bears before I dismiss it.

i posted it on the previous page

Bears agreed to terms with Roy Williams on a two-year deal.
Williams is reunited with Mike Martz, who helped the 29-year-old receiver reach his lone Pro Bowl back in 2006. Williams brings desperately needed size to the Bears' receiving corps and immediately gets a boost by playing for a coach that has confidence in him. Martz will find ways to help Williams separate and run many more three-wide sets than he did last year. Roy E. is back on the fantasy radar

[manchild24]

Falcons agreed to terms with Ray Edwards on a five-year deal, according to FOX's Jay Glazer.
It's a huge get for the Falcons. Edwards' 16.5 sacks over the past two seasons in Minnesota are impressive, even if most of them came against single blocks. He forms a dominant bookend on the left side with right end John Abraham, one of the best sack-artists in the league. Still just 26, Edwards has major upside as a disruptor of passing attacks.
