Free Agency Week 2

Marvin Harrison has found a new home. Harrison has left Peyton and the Colts for Carolina, it was surprising that the Colts did not attempt to keep Harrison based on the fact that they are $17 million under the cap. Harrison signed with Carolina for 3 years, $21.03 million. This is Carolina's second big signing in as many days. The Panthers are also attempting to bring in quarterback Marc Bulger. Harrison caught 72 passes for 1,119 yards and 8 touchdowns last season.

Bubba Franks turned down more money from Cincinnati and a deal of less years with Cleveland to re-sign with the Packers. Franks was regarded as the best free agent tight end this season. He signed a contract for 6 years and $21.26 million. Franks has caught 102 passes over the past two seasons. Now he will become the tight end a young quarterback like Rex Grossman needs.

Jermane Mayberry signed with Detroit for 3 years and $13.11 million from Philadelphia. The Eagles were relcutant to resign Mayberry as he still recovers from MCL surgery. Mayberry has played in just 9 games the past two seasons.

Green Bay found a good right tackle to proctect their new quarterback, Rex Grossman. Oliver Ross leaves the defending champions, Pittsburgh to head to Green Bay and $10.85 million over the next three seasons. Ross has played in just 16 games the past two seasons but is a master blocker when healthy.

Green Bay continued their signings, but this time they sured up their secondary by signing 10-year veteran cornerback, Marcus Coleman. Coleman signed with the Pack for 3 years, $7.2 million.

Other signings:
Quincy Morgan, WR, signed with Seattle from Cleveland for 4 years $13.61 million.

Muhsin Muhammad, WR, signed with Jacksonville from Carolina for 3 years, $7.78 million.

Gary Walker, DE, signed with Seattle from Houston for 3 years, $3.97 million.

Corey Chavous, S, signed with Cincinnati from Minnesota for 3 yars, $3.46 million.

Tommie Polley, OLB, signed with Oakland from St. Louis for 3 years, $2.59 million.

A second player, Tommie Polley that we were eyeing up is gone along with Daylon McCutcheon.
