Jack Tatum FS: Denver pays big bucks for their new FS. Tatum is in his 10th year with 30% retirement. Denver is paying 8.4 million a year over 3 years with over 6 million guaranteed per year. Last season Tatum allowed 34.8% with 5 int's thrown at 89 times. Ronald Ryan LDE: Ryan signed a 1 year contract with Miami for almost 15 million, 11 million in bonus. Ryan has just 18 sacks in 5 seasons with the Giants.
Roosevelt Larson DT: Cleveland finds another pass rusher. Larson got a 3 year contract worth 11.4 million. In 1974 Larson has 15 sacks with 63 hurries, but last season was buried on Carolina's depth chart.
Jeese Fonseca WLB: The Rams land an 8th year LB with a default rating of 88. He got a 2 year contract worth 16 million. Fonseca had 94 tackles in 1974, but barely saw the field last season.
Victor Fuller C: Fuller was probably the biggest FA target this season, and Denver outbid everybody. He signed a 5 year contract for 41.8 million with 30.6 guaranteed. It seems like the Broncos want to try him at RT. Fuller allowed 1 sack and 23 tackles last season.
FA Week 2-4: Tony Munguia MLB: Tennessee gets an 11th year LB on a 2 year contract. Last season he had 75 tackles 1 sack and 0 hurries. William Maes DT: Denver has not been shy about spending money this off season, they spent 62.4 million over 5 years on Maes. Maes is a 5th year player who had 16 sacks and 39 hurries last season. Maes rejected 13 offers to join Denver.
David Houle LT: Seattle got a 9th year LT for 26 million over 5 years. Houle allowed 0 sacks and 20 tackles last season.
Joseph Foster QB: Tampa Bay finds a new starting QB for 29.9 million over 4 years. Foster parted ways with New Orleans after a terrible 1975 season where he only saw 3 starts. Jeffrey Burnett DT: New England gets a 5th year DT for 43.5 million over 6 years. In 4 seasons Burnett has just 7 sacks and 32 hurries. Charles Lucas TE: Lucas takes a 4 year 20 million dollar contract from Seattle. The 9th year TE had 635 yards on just 30 catches last season.
Luis Lee QB: Tennessee pays 19 million over 2 years to a 3rd year QB. Lee was drafted as the 4th overall pick in 1974. Lee has taken 1 regular season snap in 2 years it was a sack and a fumble.
Note: sorry, but some of the misc overall records on our website are not accurate. The stats in MFN sometimes locks up on me and i cant retrieve them at that time. I will go back from time to time to try and update them.

The Cards grabbed a couple of Paydirt's past stars who are a little long in the tooth now. A short term stop gap to fill roster spots.
Arizona welcomes QB Sammie Carpenter and WR Brian Armstrong.
With the 6th pick in the 1976 Paydirt Draft, the Miami Dolphins select WR Paul Paul.
I don't usually like to select players with high volatily with my 1st round pick but WR Paul Paul has every non-improvable attribute that I want in a WR, plus already at 75 pass catching, high Ball Carrying... More dynamite to my WR corp.
