The #Ravens are expected to sign #Redskins FA WR Ryan Grant, source said. It’s a 4-year deal worth $29M with $14.5M guaranteed, source said. He gets a $10M signing bonus.

Welcome back.

That's a hell of a deal for Grant. I wouldn't have paid him that kind of money, but more power to him.

Ozzie must have lost his mind. I guess the pressure finally got to him. The Grant deal is the most shocking deal I can recall in a long while.

That is, except for the fully guaranteed $84M deal for Cousins. The fact that this huge deal is fully guaranteed is a back-breaker for NFL owners. They must hate the Vikings ownership for opening up Pandora's box.

When was the last time a franchise quarterback (you can spare me the "he's not worth it" argument because idc) hit the open market in his prime? Brees 05 prob the last time.

It will be interesting to see how this affects qb negotiations in the future. My guess is teams probably gonna hate it because fully guaranteed deals could screw a team if the qb gets injured.

If $84m is a back breaker for a team over 3 years they’re seriously doing something wrong

Ozzie retired

Edit: I'm wrong, he is still with Ravens for one more season but apparently under different capacity. I don't know who makes final decision for Ravens FO though.

I agree - in all honesty is $28million a year. which is less than the franchise tag we paid him last year. and with the rise of the cap each year - I think they will be just fine. You have to plan these contract looking 3 years down the road. Minnesota is not a team that generally screws up the cap.

Part of Kirk’s deal could be injury guaranteed, that’s all teams would have to do is make part of it based on injury

Sam Bradford is the luckiest guy in the NFL. He has made so much money and has done so little.

Looks at McCown's numbers last year. They're better than Cousins or just as good and he had less of a team around him.

He made 24M last yr

One of the most surprising deals of free agency will be Jerrick McKinnon's with the 49ers: It is expected to be a four-year deal worth $30 million -- an average of $7.5 million per year, per source.

WTF

Browns sign Carlos Hyde.

Looks like they may pass on Barkley?

They also have Duke Johnson who is pretty good, Hyde is a very good back and underrated. I'm not saying they will pass on Barkley but it's not impossible to think that.
