(Sirius reporting) Girls sign OT Kyle Kosier to a 3 year deal

OT?? Played guard for the Lions

He's played every position but center on the line and someone on one board said he did pretty well at RT. It wouldn't take much to win the RT job in Dallas, so they could be looking at him as a RT/swing guy. Yippee. But hey. He's on the list of ESPN's "sleeper free agents".

The contract as reported is 5 yrs, $15M, $5M signing bonus.

Evidently Fabini was in, but left without a contract. Speculation is he failed a physical, but speculation is all it is.

The way the guys on Sirius were talking Fabini to the Cowboys was a no-brainer. Hadn't heard anything about a failed physical.

The Denver Broncos announced free agent RB Ron Dayne has re-signed with the team after agreeing on a three-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

im surprised by the Taylor move, i thought for sure the Ravens would keep him as their feature back once they let Lewis go

[PhillyPhreak54]

I think they have a hard on for Deangelo Williams from Memphis.

Williams + Musa Smith = Ravens Rbs in 2006, IMO.

The way the guys on Sirius were talking Fabini to the Cowboys was a no-brainer. Hadn't heard anything about a failed physical.

Most Cowboys fans thought the same considering Parcells "Knew the player." That's one reason for the speculation about the physical, because he was pretty much considered a lock.

Maybe someone informed him you don't have to sign every player that once played for him, and there's no law they have to be over 30.

I don't even know what chron is, but if true kiss Givens goodbye as well.

That's the Houston Chronicle. I'm not too surprised, but he had already said he wasn't necessarily looking to be a #1 guy. If he's happy with his role in NE, why change?
