Gas2No99 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Alterraun Verner - DB - Dolphins Dolphins signed CB Alterraun Verner, formerly of the Bucs. Signed to big money by the Bucs in 2014, Verner struggled his way into a smaller and smaller role, eventually playing just 241 snaps last season. Still only 28, he'll likely push Bobby McCain for slot-defender snaps. That is, if Verner makes the team. There's a reason Verner languished on the open market for over five months.

Gas2No99 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Jets bring in veteran guard Orlando Franklin for visit, report says The Jets brought former Chargers and Broncos guard Orlando Franklin in for a visit. (AP Photo) The Jets brought veteran free-agent lineman Orlando Franklin in for a visit Tuesday, according to multiple reports. ESPN first reported the news. Franklin, 29, was originally selected by the Broncos in the second round of the 2011 draft. He spent the first four years of his career with the team, then signed a five-year deal with the Chargers in 2015. L.A. released Franklin in May, which saved $2.8 million in salary cap space. Last season, Franklin started 16 games. PFF rated him their No. 66 guard out of 72 qualifying players The Jets starting offensive line is pretty much set. Free-agent Kelvin Beachum will start at left tackle, while James Carpenter and Brian Winters man the guard positions. Wesley Johnson figures to be the center, while Brandon Shell and Brent Qvale compete at right tackle. But that doesn't mean the Jets can't use Franklin. Behind their starters, there isn't much in terms of proven depth. Franklin has 89 starts since 2011, and has experience playing both guard and tackle. The Jets report to training camp on July 28, and will hold their first practice the next day. ********************************************************************************************************************** Jets get visit from Chargers' $36 million castoff Free-agent guard Orlando Franklin visited the Jets on Tuesday, according to a source. Franklin spent the past two years with the Chargers, who signed him to a five-year, $36.5 million contract in 2015. San Diego released him in May. The Jets had interest in the 29-year-old two years ago when he was a free agent, but they ultimately signed James Carpenter. The Jets are set at guard with starters Carpenter and Brian Winters, but could use some depth on the offensive line. Franklin would have to come cheap, though. It is unlikely the Jets would pay more than the veteran minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although given the problems both our starters had before Steve Marshall came along maybe he would have turned out better with us. Our O-line coach might be the most underrated part of the team, though if he gets a good amount out of Wes Johnson people should be giving him all the credit in the world.

Gas2No99 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Allen Barbre - T - Free Agent Eagles released G/T Allen Barbre. A coaches pet from the Chip Kelly regime, Barbre signed a new multi-year deal in June 2014 but fell out of favor under coach Doug Pederson. Barbre was given permission to seek a trade back in March but didn't find any takers. The release saves the Eagles $2.1 million against the cap. 33-year-old Barbre can play both guard spots and right tackle and has made 36 career starts. Isaac Seumalo opened Eagles camp as the starting left guard. Philly has plenty of line depth. Related: Eagles Jul 26 - 1:07 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets are adding a body to their kick return competition. Murphy was dynamic in the SEC, but never made any noise in New Orleans, and struggled with fumbles. The Jets claimed former Saints RB Marcus Murphy on waivers. Like Lucky Whitehead, whom they picked up Wednesday, Murphy returns punts and kickoffs. There will be a bunch of these moves in the coming weeks, as the Jets churn the bottom of the roster. To make room for Murphy, they waived RB Brandon Wilds.

Gas2No99 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Orlando Franklin - G - Saints Saints signed OG Orlando Franklin to a one-year contract. Franklin's addition gives the Saints options as they mix and match in LT Terron Armstead's (shoulder) absence. Franklin was a 16-game starter for the Chargers last season after missing six games in 2015. His presence gives the Saints the option of kicking LG Andrus Peat outside to tackle while Armstead is sidelined. Right now, first-rounder Ryan Ramczyk is penciled in.

Obviously Morton is familiar w/him Pre-2015 Draft: Draft Projection Round 7 or priority free agent NFL Comparison Dexter McCluster Bottom Line All-purpose running back with a lean frame and a big heart. Showed consistency of effort and production during his time at Missouri. His value as a runner is limited due to his size, but he has the potential to become a legitimate target out of the backfield and might warrant some reps in camp as a slot receiver. Murphy can step in and immediately challenge for the top spot as a kickoff and/or punt returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
