    Here's a look at the team standings. Where some look to the draft as the most exciting part of the offseason, the NFL free agent market is MINE!

    Both Brandon Marshall and Adrian Peterson have both reportedly expressed interest in the New England Patriots. Though Adrian Peterson seems less likely, Brandon Marshall seems to be a 90% lock. In his February interview right before the Super Bowl, he praised the Patriots (his rival team) and seemed very interested in a Super Bowl ring.

    These older guys spend years collecting checks, but eventually they want the ring.

    How will your team fare in the free agent market? Who do YOU want on your team? What draft pick will change the way your team plays?

    What are the Bills going to do with Tyrod Taylor?

    Well DAM. Marshall went to the giants. Makes sense since the Pats would have only paid him for one year. The giants generously offered him 2 years. I believe the contract also has an option too. Bold move the giants are making on the salary cap

    We got Julius Peppers back. Even though he's close to retirement, if he can produce like he did last year (7.5 sacks despite only playing in obvious passing situations) our defense will be hugely improved.

    As a Raider fan I see them picking or signing a top DB and maybe draft for the OL. The Pat's certainly aren't sitting by and watching they look to improve. Getting Brandon Cooks was huge, a long threat. There are only two seasons, football season and waiting for football season.

    Patriots make a great acquisition in FA with Rex Burkhead. As a White RB, he was forced to serve his racial apprenticeship in Cincy sitting on the bench for 3+ years. With the Patriots and BB he will be allowed to play and flourish........I'm thinking 1200 yards from scrimmage and 8 TDs......

    Signing Gilmore from the Bills was huge. He's a monster on defense. He had like 5 or 6 picks as well last year

    Peppers doesn't age. He's a freak of nature
