- $21 million over 3 years for Hasselbeck from the Titans. Now you see why the Seahawks walked away. That's way too much for a rebuilding team to give to a 36 year old QB. I would argue that it's even too much for the Titans, although I doubt Matt will ever see all that money (no word yet on the guarantees). At some point Locker will take over the reigns and Matt will once again move on.
- $12 million over 4 years (with $4 million guaranteed) from the Panthers to pry Olindo Mara away. That's a TON of money to give to a kicker, especially for a team like the Panthers who are going to struggle just to get in the red zone. I guess this is an early example of what teams can do with the extra dough they don't have to pay their top picks anymore (sorry Cam Newton.)
- Robert Gallery gets a 3 year deal from the Hawks. No money figures yet, but the shorter term of the deal would suggest it's not as lucrative as some had suggested Gallery was seeking. This looks like it could be a great deal for the Hawks.
- Sounds like Sidney Rice is going down to the wire. Some reports indicate we are in the lead but have to wait until Friday to meet with him face-to-face (and do a physical... check that hip!). Again, I would love to get Rice, but if someone outbids us I'm not going to shed any tears over it.
What a crazy day it's been! 2 big trades in baseball, a NO-HITTER, madness in NFL free agency, and the Mariners scored some runs! Am I dreaming?
Reality check... off to work.
Is anyone reading this?
Go Hawks!
