After jettisoning longtime stand-out Arian Foster, the Texans signed 24-year-old running back Lamar Miller to a four-year, $26 million dollar deal to take over the featured back duties for the club, and give Houston the early crown of the biggest free agent winners of 2016.

It was a veiled parting shot for the quarterback who chose to take a reported million contract over the Broncos’ $16 million per year offer.
A Hall of Fame passer who now calls the football shots in the front office for the Denver Broncos, Elway knows what he wants, and likes, at the position.
Manning started all of Denver’s playoff games, including the Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 win over the Carolina Panthers, but Osweiler also played a huge role in the team’s success last season.
If the Cowboys wait until the second round to draft a back, I’m a fan of this guy.
The defending champs don’t really have a backup plan at quarterback, and Osweiler’s representatives are most likely leveraging that. In 2013, Kaepernick threw for 3,197 yards, 21 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions.
The official time teams can finalize free-agent signings is 4 p.m. ET.
My Twitter page is full of Cowboys fans who are not happy, but I think not overpaying for Martin a good thing. This comes as great news for the club’s loyal fans, who had fears that the team would waste the prime years of All-Pro defensive end JJ Watt in similar fashion as they did for wide receiver Andre Johnson. The transition tag was for $12.734 million; Williams got $17 million over two years from Miami.
The 2006 No. 1 overall pick struggled last season in Rex Ryan’s defense with Buffalo and even criticized how he was used. “I’d be lying to you if I said anything else”. The Jets and Fitzpatrick appear to be far from a deal from the time of this writing. The Broncos, by league rules, would have to make the trade and add Kaepernick’s current contract to their salary cap before they could rework the deal, which runs through 2020 and has “dead-money” impact if a team later released Kaepernick after 2018.
