Pretty sure team can visit and negotiate starting tomorrow. They just can't officially agree to a new deal.

It's not a full week? All right. I stand corrected.
yeah, today's just a news day because its franchise tag day
Giants tag JPP... don't like that move
Gostkowski tagged...no surprise A Boy Named Suh is not.

Justin Houston, Kansas City Chiefs, linebacker:The NFL's leading sack-man with 22 in 2014 will remain under Andy Reid's guidance. Just 26, Houston has made three straight Pro Bowls and was the key to theChiefs front-seven dominance last year. The linebacker won't sign the tag ($13.195 million) right away, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports.
Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos, wide receiver:The wideout earned 469 targets, 297 receptions, 4,483 yards, 15.1 yards per reception and 35 touchdowns over the past three seasons with Peyton Manning at the helm. Keeping him in Denver was the Broncos' offseason priority. Now they hope to use the ($12.823 million) tag leverage to get a long-term deal done.
Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys, wide receiver: A long-term deal will be tricky to work out, but Jerry Jones made it clear he would never let Bryant walk away. This means that DeMarco Murray should hit free agency and will probably leave Dallas.
Jason Pierre-Paul, New York Giants, defensive end:Rapoport broke the news that JPP will remain a Giant. Tagging him will cost the Giants $14.813 million, so they will desperately try to work out a long-term contract. Observers slept on Pierre-Paul's quietly excellent 2014 campaign which included dominant run-stopping play. The Giants know how valuable he is.
Stephen Gostkowski, New England Patriots, kicker: Rapoport reported that the Patriots havefranchise tagged Gostkowski. His tag carries a $4.56 million figure.
Charles Clay, Miami Dolphins, tight end: Clay received the Dolphins' transition tag, the team announced. Clay will receive $7.701 million under the under the transition tag. Clay can sign an offer sheet with any team he wants, but the Dolphins will have the right to match any contract.

Ndamukong Suh, Detroit Lions, defensive tackle: In the end the $26.8 million tag number proved too rich for the Lions' brass. Suh will be the rare Hall-of-Fame-caliber player to hit free agency in his prime. Jockeying for his services should thrust his contract north of the six-year, $100 million deal J.J. Watt signed.
Julius Thomas, Denver Broncos, tight end: By tagging Demaryius Thomas the Broncos will allow the tight end to test free agency. Many teams are said to be interested in pursuing the uber-athletic pass catcher. His market will likely price him out of Denver.
DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys, running back: The Cowboys will find out if it was their offensive line or Murray that truly made their running game roll in 2014. He's likely to get paid more elsewhere.
Devin McCourty, New England Patriots, safety: Following the Patriots' decision to franchise tag Gostkowski, McCourty will likely hit the free agent market.
Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers, wide receiver: The Packers have plenty of cap space and want to retain the shifty receiver, but not at the $12.823 million-level. Cobb will be the top free agent target for receiver-needy teams.
Jeremy Maclin, Philadelphia Eagles, wide receiver: Maclin bet on himself last year and it paid off. The receiver is confident a deal could get done in Philly -- an offense that might be his best fit -- however he could find interest from teams like the Chiefs who have a need at the position and a connection with Andy Reid.
Jerry Hughes, Buffalo Bills, defensive lineman: A top-10 free agent on our 101 list, Hughes has averaged 10.0 sacks and 40 quarterback hurries over the past two years. He should get plenty of attention on the open market.
Jordan Cameron, Cleveland Browns, tight end: Cameron has concussion questions to answer, but is the next best available tight end after Julius Thomas to hit the open market without strings attached.

since the jags have the most cap, they should throw money at suh, mccourty and hughes
are they gna make any cuts to add more space? they're sitting at 65 mil in space. once the raiders officially cut branch/woodley/schaub/mjd they'll be up to about 69.5
we might cut marcedes and poz, which would put us at 84m. with that much cap space i want at least 3 big name FAs tbh
i think at this point we're frontrunners for Cobb... Suh seems like a lottery ticket between a handful of teams including Oak/Jax/Det. at least if that doesn't happen, we're basically a lock to get Knighton as a consolation prize
I'm pretty sure the Colts will go after Suh/Knighton/McCourty
the Colts have to handle Luck's extension before signing other big money guys
Woah!
Kendall Langford visiting with the Jets... still prioritizing defense when their O has held them back for a decade
the Raiders and Jags are expected to make offers to Cobb that exceed Green Bay's... don't get why the Jags are trying to make such a big push for Cobb... they drafted Marqise Lee and Alan Robinson last year, took Ace Sanders the year before, Allen Hurns was productive for an undrafted rookie, and they're optimistic Blackmon will be back this season. Dumping 9+ mil on another receiver makes little sense for a team that needs a lot of talent elsewhere.
Bears looking to trade Brandon Marshall

Raiders expected to bring Suh in for a visit, per Michael Silver. Can't formally have a visit set up though, otherwise it's tampering
That would be a huge get for the L.A. Raiders...
raiders getting suh would be the ultimate shot in the leg tbh. You can bet he'd tear his acl 5 minutes into the season.
Raiders are also being described is the heavy frontrunners to land Cobb. They'll overpay, but I still think its the right move. Have to invest in your QB...
Greg Hardy could be one of the biggest steals in recent FA history if all his gets cleared
word, that's why the raiders won't take him
yeah, i dont think they're looking in that direction. not the distraction the team needs. the DE i want in this free agent class is Jabaal Sheard from Cleveland. people are talking up Jerry Hughes from Buffalo but I think he'll be overpaidword, that's why the raiders won't take him
he's 26 and an all pro.. He also didn't really do and got hosed big time. If your team can't pounce on this chance, i don't know..
