Offseason Day 2

Day 1 went the way everyone predicted, busy. Many big names were released yesterday and are now looking for a new team. Other players were contacted and contracts were discussed. Rumors led up to today, and like I mentioned in yesterdays article, expect even bigger for today. That indeed, did happen. 

The Houston Texans re-signed Jacoby Jones for three more years, $10.5 Million. 

Matt Hasselbeck has been reported to have agreed to terms on a multi-year deal with the Tennessee Titans. 

Mason Crosby has agreed to a deal with the Packers for five years.

Washington, a very busy team today, started early. They agreed to terms with veteran wide receiver Donte Stallworth for one year. Quarterback Kellen Clemens also agrees to a one year deal as well. They also shipped DE Jeremy Jarbon to Denver for WR Jabar Gaffney. Let's add another receiver. Brandon Stokely agrees to a one year deal. Not done yet. Washington agrees to terms with former Ravens CB Josh Wilson on a 3 year, $13.5 million deal.

Carolina got right back to work today reaching agreements with several players. Defensive end, Ron Edwards joins the Panthers on a 3 year, $8.25 million deal. DeAngelo Williams was expected to leave Carolina, but nope, he's staying. They agreed to terms on a five year, $43 million deal. Spending large, the Panthers agreed to terms with kicker Olindo Mare for 4 years worth $12 million. That wasn't it, they also agreed to terms with TE Ben Hartsock for 2 years. 

The Jets were expected to re-sign either Braylon Edwards or Santonio Holmes. New York wasted little time. Holmes reached agreement for 5 years, $50 million. Setting the bar for other teams, very high.

Atlanta reached an agreement with linebacker Stephan Nicholas on a five year deal.

Center David Baas agrees to terms with the Giants. They also will release defensive tackle Rocky Bernard.

San Diego's first move of the day was signing rookie Jonas Moutan. He was the first second round pick to sign with his respected team. Next on the TO-DO list was re-signing Eric Weddle. Up to nine teams were offering him, but he stayed a Bolt agreeing to a 5 year, $40 million deal. He will now be the highest paid safety ever in the NFL. Weddle said that he was offered even more from another team, but turned it down to stay in San Diego.

Chris Johnson, Desean Jackson, and Frank Gore are all expected to hold out on their teams during training camp. 

QB Jake Delhomme was released by the Browns. He says he wants to keep playing.

Speaking of reuniting, Matt Leinart and Pete Carroll will not be. Houston re-signs Leinart for two years worth $5.5 million.

Buffalo agrees to terms with CB Drayton Florence. 3 years, $15 million.

Indianapolis re-signs K Adam Vinitieri and S Melvin Bullitt.

The 49ers jump into things, signing DE Ray McDonald for 5 years, $20 million.

One of the biggest headlines of the day was Vikings receiver Sidney Rice agreeing to terms with the Seattle Seahawks. His contract will be 5 years, $44 million.

Cardinals receiver Steve Breaston decides to join former coach Todd Haley in Kansas City on a five year deal. 

Minnesota may have lost Rice, but they gained a quarterback. Donovan McNabb is officially a Viking. Trending on twitter, ESPN's Scott Shapiro had this to say about the trade. 

"The Vikings just got 7 years younger at QB....by bringing in a 34 year-old!! @AdamSchefter Donovan McNabb trade to Minnesota now official."

Referring to Brett Favre.
