So, free agency started and boy was there a bunch of news. I will be putting out a number of videos in the coming days about all the news but for now what are everyone's thoughts? I will also be adding articles and RHG episodes to this thread.

DJax to TampaQuick thoughts: Should help make Bucs better as they now have a potent offense with Mike Evans as well as Djax. Alshon to EaglesQuick thoughts: Wentz now has a good offensive weapon and that will help Wentz's overall development. Eagles are also no slouch so Alshon is now on a good team. A.J. Bouye to JagsQuick thoughts: The Jags just bolstered the D even more. If they could get their offense going, they would be contenders for the AFC South. Ron Leary to BronocsQuick thoughts: Former Cowboys offense lineman helping bolster offensive line for potentially a former Cowboys QB? Coincidence? Tyrod staying with BillsQuick thoughts: Guess I got my Romo to Bills prediction wrong. Turns out the Bills wanted to keep Tyrod the whole time, makes sense being as he is a 2 time Pro-Bowl QB. Browns putting together a good O-lineQuick thoughts: I applaud the Browns for making a run at fixing their O-line. This will help them out in the long run for sure and will help avoid QB injuries which they were devastated by last year. Pierre Garcon to 49ersQuick thoughts: Garcon gets to reunite with his former OC Kyle Shanahan. Should help make the 49ers better and help whoever their QB becomes. Stephon Gilmore to PatsQuick thoughts: Makes a SB team even better. Can you say repeat?

RG3 cut by BrownsQuick thoughts: Even with his injury history, I think RG3 should have stayed in Cleveland. I argue that the combo between him and Kessler is better for the Browns organization at this point than any other option. It has been reported that Kessler will be given a chance to win the job anyway and that makes sense being that the Browns FO likes him. Julius Peppers returns to PanthersQuick thoughts: Good move for Panthers. Will help them reach the goal they were close to 2 years ago... a Super Bowl. Terrelle Pryor to RedskinsQuick thoughts: The Redskins needed to make a move like this after both Garcon and DJax left. It had been reported the Browns offered similar to the Redskins, so why TP left I have no idea. I think the Browns will feel presence missing as time goes on. Brandin Cooks traded to PatsQuick thoughts: Another move by the Pats in an increasingly strong effort to repeat as SB champions. Why the Saints traded Cooks for the 32nd pick when it had previously been reported the Saints rejected an offer from the Titans of the 18th overall pick, I have no idea. Apparently this is the offseason of bizarre move.

DeMarcus Ware retires Quick thoughts: Guess DWare going to the Cowboys didn't happen. Regardless, I wish DWare a happy retirement!

There have been a lot of moves so far. I don't like that anyone would make a trade like that with the Patriots. I thought Cooks would be a Saint for a long time.

Eddie Lacy to SeahawksQuick thoughts: Lacy is good but RB didn't seem like a big need for the Seahawks and if they wanted veteran depth AP would be better IMO. I hope Lacy does good regardless.

Dont'a Hightower returns to PatsQuick thoughts: Another big offseason move for the Pats. It had been rumored that he considered going to the division rival Jets but that never materialized. The Pats most certainly are looking for another SB run with all the moves they have made.

Morris Claiborne to JetsBrandon Carr to Ravens Quick thoughts: Even with a number of defensive starters leaving I think the Cowboys are in good shape as IMO the defense wasn't that good anyway. Plus, getting rid of OK veterans allow you to get cheaper and younger guys in the draft.

Marshawn Lynch to Raiders?Quick thoughts: This would be a splashy move for the Raiders. I remember before Beast Mode retired there was speculation he could play for the Raiders, guess that might be coming to fruition. Beast Mode could also be going after another ring being that the Raiders are SB contenders.

Beast Mode could also be going after another ring being that the Raiders are SB contenders. Lets not forget that Lynch went to Cal-Berkeley, which is just down the road from Oakland (presuming the Raiders say there, which I believe they will during this upcoming season). He still attends Cal games, so he could want to be near the area for a season.

Tony Romo to Broncos?Quick thoughts: It has been thrown out since late last season that Romo could go to the Broncos and it sounds like that could finally become a reality. I think it interesting that Cutler would go the Texans (like I predicted) but if Romo goes to the Broncos, as a Texans fan my question is: Can we have Siemian? If this trade goes down a video will be incoming.

Paul Richardson to Redskins
Quick thoughts: I'm bummed that Richardson isn't on the Seahawks anymore as I thought he was uber-talented. He'll help Alex Smith win football games that is for sure. Albert Wilson to DolphinsQuick thoughts: Should help Ryan Tannehill (or Baker Mayfield) in the pass game. Drew Brees stays with SaintsQuick thoughts: This shouldn't be be a big shock, although I'm surprised that Brees didn't get more money.

Sammy Watkins to ChiefsQuick thoughts: A guy who was OK in Buffalo and LA now has a chance to show his stuff in KC. More weapons for Mahomes is always a good thing. Andrew Norwell to JagsQuick thoughts: The rich get richer simple as that. Allen Robinson to BearsQuick thoughts: A guy who was really good before he got injured, Robinson should absolutely help the Bears out this season. The Jaguars might be in the receiver market now too. Dez Bryant anyone?

Danny Amendola to DolphinsQuick thoughts: Yet another weapon for the Dolphins. He should also give them some inside info on the Pats.

Josh McCown stays with JetsQuick thoughts: This probably means that the Jets will draft someone and have Josh groom him. McCown was good last year so he should help the Jets win some games next year. Jimmy Graham to PackersQuick thoughts: The Seahawks lose yet another talented weapon. The Packers gain a talented weapon. That is really all there is to say.

Malcolm Butler to TitansQuick thoughts: IMO this was a good move by the Titans. Upgrading your defense is always important and the Titans did just that. Isaiah Crowell to JetsQuick thoughts: The Jets get themselves a decent RB Jonathan Stewart to GiantsQuick thoughts: The other team in NY gets themselves a decent RB, something which they haven't had in a while.
