Some big noise already.
Denver signs Ward and Talib and the front runners for Demarcus Ware?
Seattle gets Bennett on a team friendly deal, bringing in Jermichael Finley, linked to Jared Allen, and after losing a 5.5 sack DT they are meeting with Hatcher, an 11 sack Pro Bowl DT...
Musical chair Offensive lineman signings, Patriots let everyone walk, WR market looks dead
and Revis might get cut

Also, the saints have been cutting or trying to cut just about everybody. Cash strapped and Graham could end up costing 5M more but somehow land one of the top FA's in Byrd for 56M. Only in the NFL, you can always find money

Denver lands Ware. Great move, but horrible price. 3/30M with 20M guaranteed? Wow
NE lands revis for 12M
Star studded FA so far

Only in the NFL, you can always find money They will pay dearly in the near future, but they're trying to stay in the championship picture as long as Brees is there.

How often do the teams that pay FA big bucks win anything though? Denver is a bit of an anomaly since they're their window with Peyton is short, but usually championships are won through the draft.
Some of the bad teams are really confusing. Browns let Ward and D'Quell go, then pay their lesser replacements more? Raiders let their LT go, then overpay Saffold? Bad teams are bad for a reason, I guess.

Even worse for Raiders. Let all their players walk, and now Saffold dear is voided after he failed physical.

They say Seattle won free agency last year and it worked out well for them. You have to use free agency to enhance your core like Seattle did though (While also getting good value signings) over trying to buy a core like the Eagles of a few years ago
Wonder if there will be any more big name cuts

I wish it never would have started. Too many guys getting way overpaid and my team just lost 5 good players because of it.

Sproles traded to the Eagles for a 5th rounder. Quite a deal, but not liking it from a fantasy perspective (I have McCoy on my dynasty team)!

Melton saga is interesting as the top FA left on market Has he been visiting? I know he's coming off an injury, but if healthy he might have been the top free agent this year.

Crazy Melton went to Dallas for 2.25M next year in what Dallas could choose to make a 1 year deal.
Also Jared Allen could sign with Seattle this weekend
DeSean Jackson possibly traded after career year and you know Philly would only get like 3rd or 4th round pick
