The non-Rams free agents signed thread

[OldSchool]

Seahawks signed CB Dontae Johnson.

One whiner fan I talked to said he was by far the worst defender they had last year starting.

Getting a visit with the Seahawks paid off for kicker Sebastian Janikowski.

The Seahawks announced that they have signed Janikowski. According to multiple reports, it is a one-year deal. Janikowski visited with the team earlier this week.

Janikowski didn’t play at all during the 2017 season because of a back injury and the Raiders made no attempt to re-sign him this year. He made 80.4 percent of his field goals over 16 seasons with the Raiders and left as the franchise’s all-time leading scorer.

The Seahawks went with Blair Walsh as their kicker last season, but made it clear they were moving on after Walsh turned in a shaky season in Seattle. They signed former Jaguars kicker Jason Myers in January, but it seems likely that Janikowski will get the nod if he’s healthy and producing similar results to what he managed before last year’s injury.

How could Raiders let Janikowski go. The dude has been in the league for SOOOOOOOOO LONG. He's GOOD too.

His contract was up. He's old. He missed a season. They have somebody else because of the last point, they are happy with him and he's a lot less expensive, unless Janikowski was willing to take vet minimum, in which case he was still more expensive, just not as much.

Perhaps Janikowski returns to old form - but there's a decent chance he doesn't.

Dolphins sign tight end Gavin Escobar

The Dolphins have shown plenty of pre-draft interest in the top tight ends, but they filled in the blanks with a veteran Monday.

The Dolphins announced they signed tight end Gavin Escobar.

The former second-round pick of the Cowboys has struggled to find a permanent home.

He was released by the Browns last week, and spent last year trying out for teams after failing to make the Chiefs out of training camp. He did have a two-game stint with the Ravens.

He has 30 receptions for 333 yards and eight touchdowns in five NFL seasons.

Shady McCoy rumors ....

All based on a one word tweet from him:

Could be nothing - could be the Bills making moves.
