The Dolphins will retain RT Ja'Wuan James.

Darn. I liked him as a sneaky Rick signing.

Per Tomasson,Vikes have preliminary interest in FA guard (Tampa Bay) Kevin Pamphile but they're still sorting out FA o-line, including Joe Berger, who they want back.

Some names to watch:

I'll eat my hat if they even sniff Solder.

Callahan, Richardson and/or Eifert would be interesting, though.

I hope there is no truth to the rumor of Martellus Bennett. I wouldn't even consider that guy and I'd be surprised if he was even slightly interested coming to Minnesota.

WOW! Sounds like old Jordy never recovered from that knee injury.

The Graham signing is going to be over rated IMO. Graham has never been the same since leaving the Saints. I'm sure he'll see a boost in number with a better passer, but Wilson was coming into his own as a thrower so I'm skeptical that Graham will be that big of an improvement.

he'd be a good signing although I think Suh would be even better. Probably enough gas left in the tank to make a SB run.

We've reportedly inquired about Richardson.

I hope you are right, he was a monster with the saints and we don't need to face that twice a year. I wouldn't let that guy get one free release from the line of scrimmage all game. You got to beat the hell out of that guy all day for five yards or he will kill you
