He has the prerequisite of having been a former Browns D-Lineman. Seems like any defensive lineman in Cleveland should just assume that one day they'll be playing for the Broncos

[b]Cowboys | Team lands Fabini[/b]
Fri, 17 Mar 2006 20:33:48 -0800

[url="http://www.kffl.com/link/9"]ESPN.com[/url]'s [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/125"]John Clayton[/url] reports the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/14/nfl"]Dallas Cowboys[/url] agreed to a three-year, $6 million contract with free agent OT [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1345/nfl"]Jason Fabini[/url] (Jets). Clauses in the contract could grow the deal to $7.5 million over the three years. Fabini will be moved to right tackle with the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/14/nfl"]Cowboys[/url] and fix one of the team's biggest problems last season.

I don't like the roids signing people that could help them :/

There's no way Ramsey is going to be their quarterback for the future.

[b]Dolphins | Team only discussed preliminary numbers with Arrington; price is too high[/b]

Armando Salguero, of the Miami Herald, reports the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl"]Miami Dolphins[/url] have spoken with free agent LB [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1917/nfl"]LaVar Arrington[/url] (Redskins) and preliminary numbers were discussed, according to an [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/194"]NFLPA[/url] source. The Dolphins' priority is clearly Arrington, who visited last week. But Arrington's asking price is reported to be in the $6 million-a-year range, which is probably too rich for Miami.

[b]Cowboys | Contract update: T. Owens[/b]
Sat, 18 Mar 2006 13:21:41 -0800

[url="http://www.kffl.com/link/9"]ESPN.com[/url]'s [url="http://www.kffl.com/link/17"]Len Pasquarelli[/url] reports the three-year contract signed by WR [url="http://www.kffl.com/player/1608/nfl"]Terrell Owens[/url] with the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/14/nfl"]Dallas Cowboys[/url] provides him the opportunity to be one of the highest-paid wide receivers in [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/77/nfl"]NFL[/url] history over a three-year period, and the chance to earn more than he would have under his contract with the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/29/nfl"]Philadelphia Eagles[/url]. The contract can be worth as much as $25 million if Owens plays through the deal and Dallas opts to pay him pricey roster bonuses in the springs of 2007 and 2008. Owens will earn a bonus of $5 million for this season and a base salary of $5 million, for total compensation of $10 million. Dallas must then pay Owens a roster bonus of $3 million in March 2007 to retain him for that season, at a base salary of $5 million. There is another roster bonus of $3 million due in March 2008, and Owens has a base salary of $4 million for that year.

He said the [url="http://www.kffl.com/team/14/nfl"]Cowboys[/url] stepped up and made a commitment to Owens so he chose to sign there. Rosenhaus said the two sides have already started bonding. He says that Owens is looking at a very bright future. Also, all incidents that have occurred with Owens have been put in the past.

the skins had talked to him, so figured this was noteworthy.

Re: Official NFL Free Agent Signings Thread
 

Cowart's pretty one dimensional. I don't think he's a good pickup at all. Hopefully we spend somewhere else.

[QUOTE=GTripp0012]Cowart's pretty one dimensional. I don't think he's a good pickup at all. Hopefully we spend somewhere else.[/QUOTE]

yeah, he used to be pretty good, but he's old and slow now and its obvious.
I think they looked at him cause of his previous experience making calls in a GW defense.

so, the giants may lose a fairly unimportant part of their WR corp, kubiak couldn't beat out the TITANS in signing a player (ouch), and evans is still looking for money.
