Thought I just read somewhere else that he signed with Seattle. No?

I’d be willing to bet a hefty sum that Jason Jones gets more sacks than Avril does in the coming season.

Cliff signed with Seattle….

I kinda feel bad for the fellow. A little overrated – and his agent took a bad risk by turning down a *really* good offer by Mayhew last year.

This looks like a case where an agent makes a pretty big boo-boo that financially hurts a respectable player/person. Too bad the door is closed for him to come back. Or is it?

Oops. As I type this, Avril gets signed by the Seahawks. Man this is a FUN day!

I don’t know what was worse, the Lions tagging him then offering 3yrs/30mm, or him turning that down. Then he says he’s basically looking for Mario Williams’ money when Mario didn’t deserve Mario money even though he’s orders of magnitude better than Avril at rushing the passer.

Or maybe free agents from teams that went 4 and 12 and aren’t retained just aren’t as good as advertised.

The Raiders went 4-12. That didn’t keep Bryant and Wheeler from getting paid early and well.

Welcome to Seattle Mr. Avril.

Well, it’s better than any news that took place in Day 1.

Day 1 Free Agency is now the most overrated day of the year!

Day 2 and later are the better days because the sexy names sign during those times!

In 2012, Peyton Manning signed after Day 1.

Tim Tebow was traded to the Jets on Day 2.

Now Welker, the new Cards DB’s, and Reggie Bush have signed on Day 2. Just change the starting time of FA from 4 PM ET to 12 PM ET. Then NFL Network won’t act like it has time to kill while they count down to their version of “Happy New Year!”

Not that much production from a DE with a solid DL alongside him, and with some holes in his game.

Being a Detroit Lion doesn’t help either.

Maybe teams saw that most of his success was due to teams having to double team the guys in the middle of his line

Kansas City and Seattle are waiting for Dumervil to hit the street. He will sign with one of those teams because they are being built to win multiple titles and have the bet organizations in place.

There’s the “glut” of free agent DEs on top of all the talent on the defensive line coming up in the draft as well. Teams can afford to be picky.
