Vikings Have Rb Latavius Murray Visit To Possibly Replace Adrian Peterson

... Remmers, never gave serious consideration to bringing Smith back for a second year with them. Since free agency began Thursday, the Vikings have had eight players leave for other teams and have not signed any of their own free agents. Before Smith, the previous one to depart was wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, who signed a two-year contract with Oakland on Monday night. Patterson’s deal with the Raiders is worth $5.25 million for 2017, with $5 million guaranteed, and he can void the contract after one season if he reaches certain performance levels. Patterson had wrote on Snapchat on Saturday he wanted to re-sign with Minnesota, and he addressed that Tuesday in Oakland. “Wanted to go back to Minnesota, but everything went so smooth here,” he said. One Vikings free agent who could end up returning is cornerback Terence Newman, who turns 39 in September. Newman told Sirius XM NFL Radio on Tuesday he expects to play in 2017. “I’m planning on playing next season,” Newman told the network. “Hope to get something done in next few days. I do have a deal that is imminent.”. Asked Tuesday ...

Eddie Lacy, Michael Pineda, Neil Walker, And A New America's Team

... Jimmy Johnson left. I don’t participate in NCAA brackets. I play Fantasy Sports. I cannot ignore the tremendous popularity of bracket play, but it’s not a Fantasy Sport. You don’t draft players or make a lineup of one. It’s a prediction game. You have to build a roster in order for it to be considered a Fantasy Sport. A Fantasy Sport is the building of a virtual roster based on real players. Have fun with your brackets, but it’s not a Fantasy Sport. Greg Holland is set to make his exhibition debut this week. If he flashes anything near to his past form soon, I say there is no way Adam Ottavino lasts long as the closer in Colorado. Also, Matt Bush is a deeper sleeper to close games in Texas. If you play DFS NASCAR, it’s best to submit at least three lineups in a week. If you just submit one lineup and one driver wrecks, you’re done for the day. Multiple lineups help keep your fortunes alive and make certain your day does not end early. I really like to diversify in any DFS game, but in NASCAR it’s essential. The frustration is finally ending for Fantasy Basketball owners of Elfrid Payton. He has three triple-doubles in his last five games. ...

Eddie Lacy Seeking Opportunity To 'show That I Still Can Play

... Lacy on injured reserve, and he had surgery. "It's pretty good right now," Lacy said  of his ankle. "I think I'm like two and half, three weeks from being able to start running on the ground.  But it feels good.". Lacy hopes to be ready for the offseason program of whichever team signs him, and he expects "no issues" by the start of training camp. "My healing process is four to six months," Lacy said , "and on the 26 th of this month, it will be the fourth month. I'm going to try and go out and run, but if it's not comfortable, just continue to do what I've been doing. By April, whenever I have to report, I should be close. I should be able to go out and do everything.". Lacy has spent his four seasons in the NFL with the Packers. After Green Bay selected him out of Alabama  in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Lacy ran for 1,178 yards as a rookie and 1,139 yards in 2014. He slumped to 758 yards in 2015, but had 360 yards on 71 carries - a career-high 5.1 yards per carry - when his 2016 season ended prematurely.

Former Packers Rb Eddie Lacy Agrees To Deal With Seahawks

... Baalke's early 49 ers free-agent signings. By Matt Maiocco March 14, 2017 10:22 AM. The 49 ers’ new regime crammed five Trent Baalke years of free agency into the first two days of the new league year. From 2012 to ’16, the 49 ers signed just 11 players in the first week of the free-agent signing periods. Under new general manager John Lynch, the 49 ers last week matched the number of those signings in the first 31 hours. Baalke, in his final year as 49 ers general manager, was especially tentative. The new league year began on March 9. The next day, the 49 ers signed reserve quarterback Thad Lewis to a one-year contract. The 49 ers’ most-significant free-agent addition last year came 13 days after the opening of the signing period with the acquisition of offensive lineman Zane Beadles, whom the Jacksonville Jaguars released three weeks earlier. Lynch advised 49 ers fans to "stay awake" for the opening of free agency , and he made ...

Seahawks, Rb Eddie Lacy Agree To 1-year Deal

... for the Patriots' first round choice - 32 nd overall - and a third rounder (see full story). Steelers: Team meets with LB Hightower, no deal reached. PITTSBURGH - Coveted free agent linebacker Dont'a Hightower's tour hit Pittsburgh on Tuesday, but Hightower left the team's facility without signing a deal. The team announced it hosted him after he spent Monday getting wooed by the New York Jets. Hightower spent most of the day at the team's headquarters, but left early in the evening without a deal imminent. Hightower has helped the New England Patriots win a pair of Super Bowls in his five seasons with the team and is probably the best inside linebacker on the open market. The Steelers are searching for a replacement for veteran Lawrence Timmons, who signed with Miami last week after spending a productive decade with Pittsburgh. Hightower has 372 tackles and 17 sacks since New England selected him in the first round of the 2012 draft. He provided one of the signature moments during New England's furious second-half rally against Atlanta in the Super Bowl, forcing Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan's fumble in the ...

... six seasons, including 1,033 in 2014 when he had 159 against Seattle in a 24-20 Chiefs win on Nov. 16. He hasn’t had more yards in a game since then and has 404 yards on 83 carries overall in eight games in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He had 40 yards on 12 carries in three games in 2016 when he continued to battle knee issues. Charles has also been a standout receiver with the Chiefs, with a career-high 70 in 2013, and could help fill — or at least complement — the third-down back role for the Seahawks, as well. Murray played the last three seasons with Oakland but the Raiders decided to let him enter free agency after a season in which he rushed for 788 yards on 195 carries, 4.0 yards per attempt after gaining 1,066 yards in 2015. He has 2,278 yards on 543 carries in his career and had a career-high 12 touchdowns last season. Lacy’s agency, meanwhile, Tweeted out that he will visit the Seahawks, Vikings and Packers over the next four days.

Free-agent Running Back Eddie Lacy Concludes Visit To Vikings

... interested in the Seahawks because they are a Super Bowl contender and their offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell, held that position with the Vikings in Peterson’s first four NFL seasons. “You look at the connections in Seattle, so there’s definitely interest there,” Nelson Peterson had said. “Those are some pretty good years (Peterson had under Bevell).”. Peterson had rushing seasons of 1,341, 1,760, 1,383 and 1,298 yards from 2007-10 under Bevell. “Marshawn Lynch is not there, and (the Seahawks are) looking for that power back, so they’re definitely in the running,” Nelson Peterson had said about the Seattle running back who retired following the 2015 season. There will be competition to see which running back the Seahawks might sign. In addition to Lacy having visited, free agents Latavius Murray and Jamaal Charles are scheduled to come in after Peterson. The plan now is for Lacy to return Monday to Alabama, where he is training during the offseason. But things can change in free ...

Micah Hyde's Departure Hurts Packers; Eddie Lacy, T.j. Lang Could Hurt More

... that ranked second-to-last in the league in passing yards allowed last season, so how big of a loss could it be? The second is that he was one of the few experienced members of the coverage unit. ESPN’s Kevin Seifert called Hyde his “favorite signing” of the first day. Hyde wasn’t just one of the most versatile members of the secondary; he was one of its few playmakers. He had four interceptions over the final seven games, including the playoffs. The Packers have waiting in the wings the hard-hitting Kentrell Brice , who might be able to fill some of Hyde’s roles, but it may take more than one player to replace all that he did. Hyde, in a farewell tweet, revealed that the Packers never even made him an offer. A HUGE thank you to Packernation for the last 4 years. Although GB didn't make an offer, I'm so EXCITED to become a Bill. Thank you Buffalo. — Micah Hyde (@micah_hyde) March 9, 2017. Losing Tretter: This one was easy to see coming.

I understand and agree that registration on or use of this site consitutes agreement to its user agreement and privacy policy. A league source confirmed that House received a one-year deal. House played four seasons in Green Bay, earning a starting job before injuries derailed him. Now 27, he started all 16 games for the Jaguars in 2015 but was benched early last season. Datone departs. The free agent exodus from Green Bay continued with 2013 first-round pick Datone Jones signing a one-year deal worth a reported $3.75 million with the Minnesota Vikings. Jones, who moved to outside linebacker in the Packers’ 3-4 defensive scheme at the end of the 2015 season, will be a traditional defensive end in coach Mike Zimmer’s 4-3 defense. The Packers declined the fifth-year option on the 26-year-old Jones last spring, perhaps looking to bring him back on a less-expensive one-year deal in 2017. “I’m ready to turn the next chapter of my life,” Jones, who had one sack last season and 9.5 during his Packers career, said in a conference ...
