Highly doubt this as PM has agreed to meet with Tennessee...

Wow... plus St. Louis has the #6, #33 and #39 picks in this draft. And two first round picks in 2013 and 2014. Things are suddenly looking up for the Rams.

Wait, Reggie Wayne re-signed with Indy?? I thought he was gone for sure.

Very surprised he returned to Indy. Winning his whole career and now chooses to stay with a team that probably won't see the playoffs and might not even have a winning season during his new 3 year deal. I expect the Colts overpaid, but still made a smart move to keep him so Luck has a good veteran to throw to.

Lovin' the Bears Moves today...bringing in Brandon Marshall & Jason Campbell. Resigining Tim Jennings and supposedly in the running for Jeremy Mincey from the Jaguars. Now the other concerns are at Safety, CB & OL which they can address thru the draft. Phil Emery making a statement early...

Yeah, he did say he would go where the money is. So much for winning...

Now the Dolphins are targeting Laurent Robinson, according to Omar Kelly (I don't trust him though).

If it were only Peyton gone I would have thought he might re-sign. But given the Colts either cut or want to trade just about all of their veterans made me think there was no chance Wayne would stay there. Very surprising, but I do think a good move for Indy.

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports free agent CB Brandon Carr could sign with the Cowboys as early as Tuesday night.
Carr is the top remaining cornerback on the market, and would fill a massive need for a team routinely done in by its secondary last season. It's unlikely Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will let Carr get away.

I say 6 years $42 million with $18 million guaranteed.

Nice one Brandon. Punching a woman in the face. I'm guessing the Bears didn't know about this until after the trade was made.

Brandon Marshall in fight

Just four days before being traded to his third NFL team, new Bears receiver Brandon Marshall was involved in an incident at a New York City nightclub.

Marshall, dealt by Miami to Chicago on Tuesday afternoon, was at a New York club early Sunday morning when, law-enforcement sources told The New York Post, the Pro Bowl wideout allegedly got into an argument with a group of friends celebrating a birthday at the club.

According to The Post, Christin Myles, the woman celebrating a birthday, briefly left an upper floor at roughly 4 a.m. ET. Upon returning, the paper reported, Myles was told to wait because Marshall allegedly was involved in a fight with an unnamed football player and both players were being thrown out of the club.

Myles eventually met with her friends outside, The Post said, and found the 6-foot-4 Marshall and the unnamed player arguing with her group. Marshall then allegedly punched Myles in the left eye, leaving her with a black eye, according to The Post. The paper also said it wasn't clear if Marshall intentionally struck Myles or if he meant to hit one of her friends.

The Post said Myles filed a report about the incident and police told the paper that the only report regarding the fight cites Marshall as a perpetrator.

Marshall's attorney, Harvey Steinberg, said in a statement early Wednesday morning that Marshall and his friends were not involved in the melee.

Contract clause guaranteeing $6M of Marshall's $9.3M base salary is voided if he is suspended by NFL.

If Brandon Marshall gets charged with a crime I'd expect him to get at least an 8-game suspension to start the season. He's a prior offender and Goodell will drop the hammer on him and won't wait for the legal system to play out.

I can tell you that the Browns ownership has strong ties to Flynn's agent. I don't know anything.... but the Browns might be the sleeper in the Flynn hunt.

Curious to see what'll happen if the Dolphins knew about the incident and the potential charges. Seems like the Bears should be able to void that trade, but I'm not sure if that's the case.

GM Phil Emery statement: "Both the Bears and Dolphins were aware of what occurred over the weekend. We decided to move forward with the trade. We have high expectations for Brandon as a Bear."
