#Bucs are giving RB Leonard Fournette a 1-year deal worth a max value of $3.5M, source said. He gets a $2M base salary and incentives are based on rush yards & play-time. Plus, with no off-sets from his #Jaguars deal, Fournette can double dip if he wins his grievance & add $4.2M.

Dang, Fournette hurts my fantasy team going to TB ... although, I’m wary of a team signing so many FA’s and loading up like an all star team

Arians will figure it out.

j/c:

He’s fairly old now, right? I bet he finds a home though

27. Turns 28 in December.

He was cut just 5 months after signing him.

j/c:

Does anyone think that Ha Ha is a better option for us at FS than Harrison of that other old white dude we signed?

Maybe.

Thanks

Maybe. HaHa joined McCarthy when we signed Sandejo. So he wasn't available quite available to us. I think we always hoped to get ourselves a FS in round 2, so we didn't wanna invest much in the position. Unfortunately, Delpit got injured.

Harrison and HaHa are at different points in their career though. One is ascending, on the cheap for two seasons, another is a veteran on the downslope.


I'm sure Dallas tried to trade HaHa before cutting him. So there's that.


Mary Kay Cabot said we did try to get Logan Ryan, for awhile. Yet, we didn't show enough interest in HaHa (to trade for him), so there's that.

Yeah as one that is rising. The other that has seen better days!

Doing him a "solid" as they get ready to sign Earl Thomas?

The #Raiders are releasing veteran S Damarious Randall, sources say. The team owes him a $1.5 million fully guaranteed base salary, though that’ll be reduced by whatever he gets from his new team.

Not a great look for Randall. He lost his mind last year and now he can’t make the Raiders. His career is probably close to over. Weird because he was great for us in his first season with the team.

Randall still had decent PFF stats last year (better than Harrison). He is also only 28 years old. I'd be surprised if he doesn't land somewhere.

I’d honestly give him another chance lol ... even though, yeah he’s crazy

That's weird. I just wrote a post about him.

Its official now ... i read the other thread first so posted it in there also ...

DAMARIOUS RANDALL
DB, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

Raiders released S Damarious Randall.

Signed in April, Randall was guaranteed $1.5 million from the Raiders despite failing to make it through camp. A former first-rounder who totaled 61 tackles and a career-high 2.5 sacks in his final year with the Browns, Randall is still likely to sign elsewhere as a potential starter before the weekend comes to a close. The 28-year-old has 14 interceptions across five seasons.

Same here.

One thing to keep in mind about Randall....

His natural position is actually FS. That's what he played in college. Due to team needs, he played corner in GB and was mediocre. When he came here, it was to play FS again, and he did very well. Raiders picked him up to play corner again, so....

JC...

Wouldn't mind taking a look at LB Todd Davis whom was released for salary purposes from Denver...Had rather good grades from PFF.

Remember the buzz on the board of Hakeem Butler last year? Arizona just cut him after one year...ouch.

Redskins cut Adrian Peterson.

He was a WR a lot of people thought would be a steal. Surprising

I really liked Butler as a mid-round prospect. Wasn't he hurt all of last year?

Yeah he spent his entire rookie year on IR, hand injury if I recall...I remember his size and ball skills jumped out. And he's still on a cheap rookie contract with 3 years left, so I'm sure someone will jump on him. I know Arizona drafted him , Andy Isabella, and Keesean Johnson all last year...Added with Nuke Hopkins, Christian Kirk, and Fitz...he just got buried on that WR core.

Yes he was. From what I read he didn’t have a good training camp before the injury.

Butler had enough predraft potential that I’d rather have him instead of Ratley. The problem is Ratley is probably not going to make the team.

Thanks. I really liked him when he was at Iowa State. I thought he would be a very good 4th--maybe 3rd-- WR. He wasn't polished enough to be a starter in my opinion, but I thought his size, high-point catching, ability to break tackles, and make big plays w/YAC would be a nice addition to a team that already had WRs who were good route runners and had good hands.

I hope he doesn't go to the Steelers or Ravens.

Hmmmmm.........that doesn't sound good.

Yeah I thought his ability with 50/50 balls would be out of this world with his frame...And agreed, Last thing I want is him going to an AFC North foe...Hoping the Pats or Packers (both of whom need some WRs) will grab him.

I've always thought you were one of the more football savvy posters on this board, tru. Once again, you didn't disappoint.

Buddy I work with, his brother is an asst. coach at Iowa St, and he said Butler is a great kid too.

Thanks for the scoop, bro.

I think it is relevant because when he was released, I was wondering if he had character issues. Thanks for the knowledge.

Wow! Another great call by me. LOL

I liked him coming out of school as well. I didn’t know that he had so many drops. Drops easy to catch passes. Concentration issues?

Always appreciate it bro...I have had many great discussions with you over the years, and likewise...You share a vast amount of knowledge and insight, and I always enjoy reading your posts as well.
