PunchDrunkPanda: Interesting and hilarious read (new window), twitter exchange between fan and freak-of-nature LaRon Landry where he admits to issue with achilles.

Also, which Farker was that?

JohnBigBootay: robsul82: Chargers sign linebacker Jarrett Johnson to a 4-year deal, per Caplan.

I'm sure you've mentioned Carl Nicks and the Bucs. That's got to sting. Drew's gonna want more money.

Yep, that stings like a motherfarker. An expected sting, but a Hell of a sting nonetheless. Apparently we're "circling" Ben Grubbs to replace Nicks and David Hawthorne right now.

Also, big news -

@caplannfl
And, for the record, Dan Orlovsky has not signed with Bucs. They are, however, talking to him.

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Hahaha, bravo.

Redskins also in the hunt for Ben Grubbs, grrrr.

Straight from the desk of incarceratedbob, lol...

@jklorlando33 Yes Grubbs looks like a done deal in New Orleans. (Contract is being written up as i type) still some minor issues to get done

Hope this isn't one of his farkups, heh.

Eagles guard Evan Mathis getting a look from the Colts and Redskins.

Wouldn't mind seeing him on the Colts. Don't want to break bank for him though

A lulzworthy moment.

I would love to say something positive. Give me an example RT @librapaj: @JasonColeYahoo u NEVER say anything positive about the dolphins

Martellus Bennett signs with the Giants, per Schefter.

JohnBigBootay: Droog8912: When you do a good job of drafting and reward those players with large contracts, you don't need to make the big splash in free agency.

Yeah, they do a pretty good job of that I must admit. We'll see if they can hang onto wallace. I want to keep him for sure, but after seeing Plaxico and Holmes (and even Randle El) take off in recent years while they quietly reloaded with relative unknowns and stayed at a high level I'm not TOO worried about it. He's a unique guy but they can survive his loss. If they can improve the offensive line that is. Enough with the band-aids already.. They need some USDA prime beef.

So very much THIS. We already know Roethlisberger's some kind of a cyborg or something, we don't need any more proof. :P

/seriously though, we can haz O-line?
//please?

Henry Holland: I liked this from the Colts blog Stampede Blue:

Unlike Bill Polian, who despised free agency almost as much as he hated the fans of the team he worked for, new G.M. Ryan Grigson actually (gasp!) likes signing free agents!

Colts signed Winston Justice for the O-line, got a new DT Cory Redding, they let Dan Orlovsky go to the Bucs. Any opinions on Justice and Redding?

We swapped 6th round picks with the Eagles for Justice. He wasn't an FA signing. It looks like a mixed bag on him. He's looked solid at point, but Mathis and Dawson (worthless camp body) made him look like dog ass when we played them two years ago. I'm assuming he'll compete for RT and either get cut or shunted into RG if he doesn't pan out. Eagles are on the hook for all his bonus money, so we don't lose anything by cutting him.

Cory Redding is a legitimately good 3-4 DE that we'll need to transition from our Tampa-2 4-3 to a hybrid 4-3/3-4 to our eventual 3-4 (assumption here). Mathis and Pagano have already gone on record as saying they plan on using Freeney has a 3-4 rusher (olb) or a 4-3 DE depending on the look, so they won't be competing for playing time.

I'm pretty happy with the signings and activity so far, especially the Wayne signing. Luck will need weapons after all. His moves have been positive so far, but I want to see what he does with the draft and the rest of FA.

IF the guys they have can stay healthy, they are almost mediocre.. They really need to bring in a FA to school the guys that are healthy, AND bring in some young talent. Since Grimm left, the line has gotten horrible as a whole.

Big if, though. I loves me some Pouncey, but that ankle worries me a little. Seems like just about EVERYONE else got injured last season as well - did we ever have the same lineup for more than two weeks in a row? :-/ I think, from what I saw of Gilbert last year, that he has potential and will probably be OK, but like you said, more young talent + solid veteran FA(s) would be amazing.

/knows it probably won't happen
//but a girl can dream, right? :P
