[Porterparty]

What's happening with Pouncey? ILB ?? NT ?

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent LB Korey Toomer is visiting the Colts on Monday.

[Porterparty]

Per Chargers news, Pouncey signed for two years. OL now Okung/Feeney/Pouncey/Lamp/Barksdale, with Schofiels, Pulley as depth. Best in years!!!

And the Colts are going to a D with speed. Too bad we don't see his value.

[Formula 21]

I wonder if the Bolts are happy with their D line rotation? Going into last year, it looked like the team's strength. They've been very quiet about DL FAs.

I like Toomer and he always seems to make plays. But there must be something wrong because his playing time took a big hit, was out played by the LB from Jax who was so good I cannot remember his.....Pullard! And now the Chargers making no apparent attempt to keep him.

Some interesting takes on NFL.com Rosenthal about bad free agent deals so far this year:

Anthony Hitchens

It's rare to see any inside linebacker get a $14 million signing bonus and $21.5 million fully guaranteed over the first two years of a contract, much less one who has never come close to a Pro Bowl berth. The Chiefs believe Hitchens can add some pass-rush ability from the position, but something doesn't add up when Hitchens' contract is in the ballpark of Luke Kuechly's and Bobby Wagner's last deals. Even limiting the comparison to this year's free-agent market, more productive players like Avery Williamson and Zach Brown received vastly inferior contracts.

Case Keenum

The money is an incredible achievement for a likable player who has gone through a lot in his career, as NFL Films documented in the Rams' underrated "All or Nothing" season. But it was very surprising to see the Broncos fully guarantee $7 million of Keenum's 2019 salary, along with his entire $18 million salary guaranteed for injury. The Broncos will be literally paying for this move for two years, and they could be figuratively paying for it longer, unless Broncos executive John Elway finally solves the team's offensive line and run-game issues. So much of the support that made Keenum money in Minnesota won't be traveling west with him.

Jordy Nelson

It's rare to find many free-agency wins throughout history in which a team pays an aging receiver coming off a disastrous season starting-caliber money. NFL Network's James Jones was quoted last week saying that the Packers "really, really low-balled" Nelson in a half-hearted bid to keep him, which indicates the team that knew Nelson best believes he's all but done.

Oakland, on the other hand, guaranteed Nelson $13 million on a two-year, $15 million contract. It's the guaranteed money into the second year of the deal that puts Nelson's contract on this list. If the Raiders made a mistake here, it's going to hurt them in 2019, too.

Nice to see all the AFCW teams messing up.

As of right now, the Bolts won free agency.

If they could get Hankins on a reasonable deal then that would win free agency

Idk how much we have left in cap, but im praying for hankins to. We would have essentially secured our dline, fixed our oline for the better in one off season without breaking the bank

Cutting Liuget and Mebane would save around 13-14 mill......Mebane is a no brainer, he was a great player but he is done and no way the Bolts keep Liuget at 9 mill against the cap
