With free agency less than two weeks away, many teams and agents have begun posturing to get the biggest edge on their side of negotiations. This includes asking players to re-structure contracts, extending deals and also throwing out all sorts of rumors to gain leverage. Here are the latest pieces of information from around the NFL:

  • As many have reported, the Miami Dolphins hope to re-sign Jared Odrick and Charles Clay. Money, of course, will be a factor in what they do moving forward. 
  • As Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported, Zach Hocker will have every opportunity in training camp to beat out Caleb Sturgis for the kicker job in 2015.
  • TE Jordan Cameron is not expected to re-sign with the Cleveland Browns. He could be an option for the Dolphins if Charles Clay leaves somewhere else in free agency but his injury history, especially with concussions, raises a big red flag.
  • DT Phil Taylor is entering the final year of his rookie deal and will be asked by the Browns to re-structure. If he doesn't, he will likely be released.
  • WR Larry Fitzgerald has a no-trade clause in his new 4-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals.
  • As I reported last week, head coach Bruce Arians confirmed that CB Antonio Cromartie will test the open market.
  • Impending free agent RB Justin Forsett is likely to draw some interest from the Baltimore Ravens.
  • Expect QB Joe Flacco and the Ravens to re-structure his contract within the next year. His cap number will jump to $28.55 million in 2016.
  • OT Jake Matthews of the Atlanta Falcons recently underwent surgery on his foot and will miss most of the off -season activities. The Dolphins were rumored to be very interested in trading up for him last year had he fallen towards the 8-10 range.
  • CB Brandon Carr of the Dallas Cowboys will be asked to re-structure his contract. If he refuses, he will likely be cut.
  • CB Morris Claiborne of the Cowboys is expected to begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP) due to his delayed recovery from a torn patellar tendon.
  • WR DeAndre Hopkins of the Houston Texans had surgery to repair a torn ligament in his wrist. He expects to resume regular activities in a few weeks.
  • Expect the Indianapolis Colts to be very aggressive in free agency. They have about $40 million to work with and it will be their last year under Andrew Luck's rookie deal. They will likely go all in and try to get a Super Bowl ring before Luck takes over their salary cap situation.
  • It's becoming more and more likely that the Kansas City Chiefs will be taking a wide receiver in the first round. They have been showing interest in many players and trading up has not been ruled out.
  • LB Dont'a Hightower of the New England Patriots underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum and will be out of action for at least six or seven months.
