Have you missed all of the latest 2011 NFL Free Agent Signings? NFL Trades? Not sure where Sidney Rice or Zach Miller will be catching passes this season? Well we’ve got you covered.
It today’s posting, we cover every player in the NFC who has changed teams and their contract terms if we have them. It’s a plain and simple post, but a must read for NFL fans and fantasy football geeks alike.
Before the NFL Signings summary, here are some quick hits from around the NFL:
Running backs Mike Bell and Jerome Harrison signed contracts with the Detroit Lions as they are desperate to find another option after losing rookie RB Mikel Leshoure for the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
Titans Running back Chris Johnson still refuses to report to camp, holding out for a new contract. He is without a doubt the biggest fantasy player to watch as he is going in the top 5 in almost all mock drafts.
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith dislocated a finger and will miss about ten days.
The NFL will have random PED tests on game days this season. “Don’t take the field yet, we need you to pee in this cup.”
