Thought it might be helpful to have all this in one thread and update as we go. So far here's what we have:

Rolando McClain - resigned with Cowboys. 1 Yr. $5M
Mark Barron - resigned with Rams. 5 Yrs, $45M
Evan Mathis - Arizona Cardinals. 1 yr, $6M
Rashad Johnson - Titans, 1 yr, $2M
Courtney Upshaw - Atlanta Falcons, 1 yr, $1.25M
Andre Smith - Vikings, 1 yr, $3.5M
DeMeco Ryans
Wallace Gilberry - Lions. 1 yr, $1.75M


Kind of surprised at Upshaw's $ amount and term. Thought he'd get something like 3 years for $9M. Also, thought Rashad would get something like 3 years for $8-10M.

Richardson has not signed with anyone. The Ravens have/had interest but he hasn't signed.

Rashad Johnson- visiting the Titans. PPF's # 6 free agent safety.

Andre Smith- Visiting the Cardinals. Choosing between Arizona and Minnesota

Courtney Upshaw- Ravens can't afford to resign him. PPF's #6 run Stopping OLB. There's a market for his services.

Evan Mathis- PFF's #1 run blocking guard. at age 35, theres speculation that he could retire. If he wants to play, he'll be starting for whoever signs him.

Ian Rapoport ?@RapSheet 23m23 minutes ago One reason the #AZCardinals felt comfortable trading an OL today? Source said Evan Mathis visited them today & they offered a 2-year deal.

Evan owns a gym in Phoenix area that his brother Adam runs for him. He trains there in off season. Has a home there and might retire there. It's great they gave him an offer. Would be stunned if he doesn't take it

This is great for him but why the random 69

My guess would either be that it is tax related or it is a flat $$ increase over the league minimum.

shockingly low in terms of length (thought he'd get 3 years) and compensation (thought he'd get $5M/).

Of course, he's made over $50M in his career. I hope he's spent/invested wisely.

I am excited to see him with Minnesota. I have become a Vikings fan through my significant other. Her family is all from there.
