Seattle keeps Red Bryant, one of the best DL on the market -- Michael Lombardi (@michaelombardi)

Means they out of the Jones sweepstakes?

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the *****, Redskins, and Bucs are all pursuing free agent CB Eric Wright.
Good thing the Rams aren't interested in him anymore. Porter, Finnegan, Rogers are all better.

Green-Ellis has two mystery teams chasing him. That could easily be the Rams.

Better than what we have but not a major upgrade perse

Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall are back together again.
The Chicago Bears are sending two third-round picks to the Miami Dolphins in a blockbuster trade that will reunite the wide receiver with his one-time signal-caller, Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reported Tuesday.

The Bears and Dolphins later confirmed the move.
Marshall and Cutler started their careers together with the Denver Broncos in 2006, and Marshall made the Pro Bowl in 2008 with Cutler throwing him the ball, totaling 104 receptions for 1,265 receiving yards with six touchdowns.
Cutler isn't the only old face waiting for Marshall in Chicago. The Bears' new quarterback coach, Jeremy Bates, worked as a Broncos assistant from 2006-08.

wow Marshall is beast!

Josh Morgan is who I have heard it is....

[codeman123]

Not sure about Harry Douglas, but Les is coming over fom Atlanta. He's a slot guy, he better be able to play on the outside.

I've seen him play outside and in the slot

[xkidflowx]

I think it will be Harry Douglas Amendola and Salas in slot.. Blackmon .. Meachem .. and dx on the outside ?

[ZiaRam]

Josh Morgan is who I have heard it is....

That's right it is ....
Looks like with the WR market thinning out I'd like to Bring back LLoyd as a #2 and trade up to #4 in the draft and take Blackmon... getting Sam some outside help is extremely important.

NFL Analysis: What Should the Falcons Do with Harry Douglas?

The problem is we know what type of players Abraham, Grimes, and Lofton are, but Harry Douglas is still shrouded in some Mike Mularkey-based questions.

Why is that? Even with injuries that limited Julio Jones to only 13 games, with some games playing sparingly, the Falcons number three receiver played on only 55.4% of all offensive snaps. For reference, the Panthers third wide receiver, Brandon LaFell, played 65.9% of all offensive snaps.

However, when Jones left the first New Orleans Saints game due to injury, Douglas came through with 133 yards on 8 catches, more yards than Jones gained in any game. Douglas had five other games where he managed more than 40 yards, despite minimal playing time.

Douglas is also a perfect slot receiver. He is explosive with great hands and is a great matchup in that position. Mularkey tried to make Douglas the Falcon's deep threat, but he lacks the top end speed to be a true deep threat. He is best at using his quick burst to get separation against a linebacker or safety.

Now we wonder where Harry Douglas will be next year.

Some think that Douglas will try the open market and attempt to become a #2 wide receiver in the NFL. He certainly has the ability to do so, but the idea of him going to receiver-starved Jacksonville to play for the man, Mike Mularkey, who did such a poor job integrating him into the offensive gameplan, is hard to imagine. Douglas may not have blown up the way many thought he would after his impressive rookie year, but that has nothing to do with him or his ability.

Rotoworld suggests Atlanta may try to use the three-year, $9.4 million contract given to James Jones as a starting point for negotiations. He may balk at such a price if he believes he can get more money elsewhere, but he should be an important player for the Falcons to lock up.

Im down with Harry Douglas. I see nothing wrong going with a low cost, high upside player like Douglas. Because lets be realistic here. The chances of Fisher making a true No.1 WR his priority, over some of his other favoured position must be extremely slim. His Titan teams never had a truly great WR. Justin Blackmon will have to be something very special in Fishers eyes, to make him go away from his prefered route like CB's and DT's. I dont expect any major splashes for the Rams in free agency.?

[sosa39rams]

I'd like to see us add both Harry Douglas and Robert Meachem. Meachem league wide is seen as a WR who is "coming into his own" and is viewed as a "possibility of being a #1 WR for teams".

Winston was a pro bowl RT. One of the best in the biz.
