Travis Benjamin - WR - Browns

NFL Network's Rand Getlin reports Travis Benjamin will sign with the Chargers when the new league year opens Wednesday afternoon.

The deal is believed to be for more than $6 million per season. That's high-end No. 2 receiver money, so Benjamin is doing pretty well for himself in an extremely weak free-agent receiver class. Benjamin will serve as the lid-lifter deep threat opposite Keenan Allen with Malcom Floyd now out of the picture and headed into retirement. The Falcons were also in on Benjamin.

And now the Browns will need receivers and try to pull Marvin Jones or Sanu from the Bengals I bet. Not many WR options left for the Rams to chase.

Byron Maxwell - DB - Eagles

ESPN's Ed Werder reports the trade sending CB Byron Maxwell and WLB Kiko Alonso to the Dolphins is "considered dead."

The two teams also would be swapping first-round picks in the deal with the Eagles getting the Dolphins' No. 8 overall pick and Miami moving back to No. 13. It was pure highway robbery by Eagles GM Howie Roseman just to get Dolphins czar Mike Tannenbaum to take the contracts of Maxwell and Alonso, let alone moving up in the first round. It appears after a couple days of thought that Tannenbaum is possibly smartening up and getting out of this one. The reason the deal is on life support is allegedly the Dolphins' concern with Maxwell's shoulder.

So you already know what's going to happen today then? That's how it works isn't it?

One of you guys scan the news and make sure I didn't get hit by a bus today before I step outside, please?

Desperation after the Megatron retirement. No thanks. I don't want that guy for 8M+ per year.

Gonna lose McLeod too? Thought resigning our guys was a priority?

I guess LA isn't the huge draw after all...

Over paying and if the Rams sign a high level WR FA it really eliminates taking one in round one. You are only going to have so many WR on the field. If a FA WR is signed to start, that gives you FA, Britt and Austin on the field a lot....I am not draft a WR in the first round to be the 4th WR. Unless it is designed to replace Britt in a year.

$$$$
Thats it I think.
If a team ever ended up in Vegas I can't imagine the FA advantage that would be. The Vegas nightlife and no state income tax?

A part of me thinks that having fisher as our coach can't be that attractive to free agents. Ya he just signed an extension but they know he's another losing season away from being fired. Maybe I'm making too much out of that but I don't know...
