Ravens free-agent guard Ben Powers reaches a big deal with the Broncos (a four-year deal worth $52M).

Powers led Baltimore with 1,096 snaps, becoming the only Ravens player to participate in every offensive play last season.

We got Pratt back!

The #Bengals are re-signing LB Germaine Pratt to a three-year, $21 million deal, per source. He gets $10.35M in Year 1 and $15.15M over two years. He’s started 54 career games and now stays in Cincinnati.

Wow. I would have bet we kept Bell on and lost Pratt.

Does this mean the Panthers have lost interest in Bates...?

A big splash: The #Bears are signing star LB Tremaine Edmunds.Lots of OL moving around:

Bears OT McGlinchy -> Denver

Giants OL Gates -> DC

Source: The #Bears are securing their offensive line, signing former #Titans G Nate Davis to a 3-year deal. A huge priority.

Losing Bates and Bell will hurt-alot!

[skycruiser]

Sucks to lose Bell but I guess paved the way for Pratt to come back. Gotta get a vet in the secondary now

Yeah. That's the only thing that's easing this with losing those two is Pratt. I thought for sure Bates, and Pratt were gone and Bell would return. Who knows man.
