Big Things Happening in the NFL Already

[Liathano]

Manning is now the higest paid player in NFL history. 7 years, $98 million, with a $34.5 million signing bonus.

Joe Gibbs signs another player before the free agency period even started, DE and ex-Bear Phillip Daniels. The Redskins are seriously cleaning house.

Garcia is no longer a 49er, making him one of the top free agent prospects (lets go Steelers!), and TO is on the trading block.

McCaffrey retires from the Broncos after 13 seasons. Could they take any more losses on offense?

Veterans are getting released left and right: Ruben Brown, pro bowl guard; Ray Buchanan, 11 year cornerback; Trace Armstrong and Romanowski (good, i hate Romanowski, psycho); Brock Marion and Brian Griese from the Dolphins; and tight ends Ken Dilger and Roland Williams from the Bucs.

Flutie got a 3 year contract extension? Could he be playing into his 50s?

Also, Carson Palmer was named the Bengals starting qb. So much for comeback player of the year Jon Kitna!

crazy stuff already this offseason!
