That was fast: The #Seahawks will not match OT Garry Gilliam’s offer sheet and he’s headed to SF now to sign with the #49ers, source said

Ian Rapoport‏ @RapSheet
Here we go: #Patriots extended an RFA offer sheet to #Bills RB Mike Gillislee. It’s for 2 years, $6.4M, source said. $4M in the 1st year.

Ian Rapoport‏ @RapSheet
The #Patriots structured the Mike Gillislee deal to make it tough for the #Bills to match. Similar to Chris Hogan from last year. 5 days.

Field Yates‏ @FieldYates
The Raiders have cut veteran DT Dan Williams, per league source.

Albert Breer‏ @AlbertBreer
Patriots CB Malcolm Butler has signed his RFA tender, per @FieldYates. That means trade talks can commence. Relevant: Draft is 9 days away.

Interesting. I'd like to have him back after the draft if the price is right. Would free Peters/Gunter/etc. to play DE instead of NT. Knows the system.

Sources: #Saints & Adrian Peterson believed to be closing in on a deal that’d pay him $3M+ in ’17. Not done, but moving in that direction.

Final terms for Marshawn Lynch's deal with the #Raiders: 2-years with a base of $9 million with max of $16.5M, source said.

Some teams filling some holes before the draft so they can take other positions. I like that the FA RB's are getting signed, it means a very good one will fall to us in the 5th rd.

Gillislee is a very good RB. He could put up big numbers in NE.

Gillislee is a very good RB. He could put up big numbers in NE.

I liked him coming out of college but the draft pundits stated he lacked speed and power... all he had was vision and balance and produced, something to think about

Raiders running attack is going to be deadly

The #Redskins and OT Morgan Moses reached a 5-year, big-money extension to lock him in for the future. Some good news before the draft.

Buccaneers are giving former Jets' QB Ryan Fitzpatrick a one-year, $3 million deal, per source.

Anyone else here notice that the so-called experts sounded the death knell for the running game (i.e. "the NFL is a passing league") but suddenly there are a mess of teams with "dominating running attacks")?

What's up with that?
