Since the legal tampering period begins today, tons of rumors and news should start to fly soon. I think it's a good idea to post tweets in this thread to keep all the free agency news in one place and stop the board from becoming too cluttered with tweets of rumors and things that may not even happen.

 

REMINDER: Fake tweets and troll accounts will be out in full force this free agency, so be careful of what tweets you're looking at and what you're posting here. To spot fake tweets look at the example below:

 

<a class="" href='https://twitter.com/RapSheet'>Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet </a> <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/706132196977938433' title="10:00 AM - 5 Mar 2016">Mar 5</a>

<p class="" style="font-size:26px;">Mario Williams is heading on a visit to Miami today, per source informed of the <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Dolphins?src=hash'>#Dolphins</a> plans. Would add big-time help on the edge.

<p class="" style="font-size:26px;"> 


^This is the real Ian Rapoport, but the name Ian Rapoport above means nothing and anyone can change their name at any time. Always look at what's following the "@" as no two people can have the same twitter handle. There will be troll accounts that use handles like @RapSheeet or @RapSheel that will try to fake news too. A blue verified checkmark next to their name is a good sign that they are real and reliable. Also a good way to avoid getting trolled is to follow the real reporters and only post tweets from your timeline as the only way fake tweets could enter your timeline is if someone legitimate accidentally retweets them.

 

By following this, hopefully we can keep the number of fake news entering this thread down to a minimum.

 

Legal Tampering Period Begins: 12:00pm est/11:00am cst, Monday, March 7th.

 

Free Agency Begins: 4:00pm est/3:00pm cst, Wednesday, March 9th.

i didn't want him anyway so that's fine with me. 
Iloka, Irvin, Vernon...make it happen
Jaguars presumed in the lead for Malik Jackson...

Malik and JPP are the home run FA I want us to make a major push for after having soured quite a bit on Vernon.

If Dave can sign both Malik Jackson and Irvin that be great.

I like Malik Jackson, but I wonder if $$ could be better spent elsewhere given the depth of the DTs in this draft.

<p class="" style="font-size:16px;">As of last night, source says <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Broncos?src=hash'>#Broncos</a> had not upped offer to Brock Osweiler in effort to sign, prevent negotiations with other teams today

I'm expecting to hear more about Mario Williams and Bruce Irvin coming here in the next few hours.

<p class="">NFLPA released adjusted cap figures, counting carryover. Highest caps: Jags $190.3M; Browns $176.7M; 49ers $176.6M; Titans $176.4M.

Are the Jaguars, going to sign a kicker this off season or stick with Myers?

Idk how to take this. Sounds to me like they are saying this JUST because we have the most money.

Stick with Myers most likely I think. We'll bring in competiton for him though.

The Giants need pass rushers as bad as the Jags do yet they're not aggressively pursuing JPP. Beware the player with more P's in his name than fingers on his hand. Pass on JPP.
At this point, the money that OG/OT Kelechi Osemele is going to get on open market makes a return to the Ravens highly unlikely @mikegarafolo
