Demorrio Williams (San Diego Chargers)

Latest contract details:
Chiefs released LB Demorrio Williams.
The move will reportedly save $1.7 million in cap space. According to Pro Football Focus, Williams played just 73 defensive snaps last season as a backup linebacker. Turning 31 in July, Williams will have to battle for a roster spot no matter where he lands.

The 31-year-old will stay in the AFC West as a backup to Takeo Spikes and Donald Butler in San Diego. Williams reportedly had interest from 5-6 teams, and chose the Chargers as his best shot at playing time.

Dallas Clark (Indianapolis Colts)

Latest contract details:
Colts released TE Dallas Clark, RB Joseph Addai, MLB Gary Brackett, and SS Melvin Bullitt.
Clark turns 33 before the season, can't stay healthy, and was an absolute nightmare when he did see the field in 2011, dropping passes left and right and getting exposed in lame attempts as a blocker. He may generate some interest in free agency, but very well might be done. The rest of the moves represent a full-on house cleaning by the franchise. Addai, Brackett, and Bullitt were all overpriced and do not fit into the plans of Chuck Pagano and Ryan Grigson.

Eli Manning (New York Giants)

Contract:7 yr(s) / $106,900,000 Signing Bonus $13,000,000 Average Salary $15,271,429 End Year:2015 Free Agent:2016 / Unrestricted

The Giants have restructured Eli Manning's contract in order to save roughly $6.75 million in salary cap space.
Manning's base salary, which was previously $10.75 million, was dropped to $1.75 million and he received a $9 million "signing" bonus to be paid immediately. The move lowers Manning's 2012 cap number from $16.35 million to $9.6 million, but his future cap numbers will all be in the $20 million range. It does give the Giants more freedom to sign other players in free agency.

Dwight Freeney (Indianapolis Colts)

Contract:6 yr(s) / $72,000,000 Signing Bonus $15,000,000 Average Salary $12,000,000 End Year:2012 Free Agent:2013 / Unrestricted

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Colts are "fielding telephone calls" from teams interested in trading for DE Dwight Freeney.
The new Colts regime has heaped praise on Freeney and Robert Mathis, but this news is hardly surprising. Freeney is not only dead-set against converting to outside linebacker in Chuck Pagano's 3-4 scheme, he's also carrying a prohibitive salary cap figure of $19.035 million. While Freeney is on the wrong side of thirty, he should draw plenty of interest from contenders with 4-3 defenses

Mark Sanchez (New York Jets)

Latest contract details:
3/9/2012: Signed a five-year, $58.25 million contract. The deal contains $20.5 million guaranteed. Another $10 million is available through escalators. 2012-2016: Under Contract, 2017: Free Agent

Contract:5 yr(s) / $58,250,000 Signing Bonus - Average Salary $11,650,000 End Year:2016 Free Agent:2017 / Unrestricted

NEWS:
Mark Sanchez says he's been in contact with Santonio Holmes for the "whole offseason."
"We've been in contact really this whole off season, and I think a bigger deal was made out of (Holmes' critical comments) than needed to be," Sanchez said. The two will be married at the hip for at least the next two seasons after the Jets handed Sanchez a panicked "apology" extension on Friday. It's more likely they sink together than swim, though it would be shocking if Holmes didn't improve on his 51/654/8 line in 2012.


A source with knowledge of the deal tells Profootballtalk.com Mark Sanchez will make $20.5 million guaranteed over the next two seasons.
It's top six or seven QB money, and an absurd payday for a quarterback the Jets were originally hoping to force into a camp babble. It all but guarantees Sanchez will be the Jets' starter the next two seasons. It's also safe to say Chad Henne will no longer be an option for Gang Green. Over three years and 47 NFL starts, "Sanchize" is the owner of a 73.2 quarterback rating, 55.3 completion percentage and 55:51 TD:INT ratio.

Peyton Manning (Indianapolis Colts)

Peyton Manning contract status 2012, guaranteed, option, history, situation, bonus, deadline...
Latest contract details:
Peyton Manning (Denver Broncos) 

Coach Ken Whisenhunt has acknowledged signing free agent Peyton Manning is "no longer an option" for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals exercised Kevin Kolb's $7 million option bonus Friday, officially removing them from a race Manning had already eliminated them from. "Since the end of last season we made it very clear that our plan was to head into 2012 with Kevin Kolb and John Skelton," Whisenhunt said. "Obviously something very unique and unexpected presented itself. ... In the end it didn’t work out but from our perspective it was very positive and we certainly don’t have any regrets about it."

According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, the "starting point" for free agent Peyton Manning's contract negotiations are the "parameters" of the five-year, $90 million deal he signed last season.
Coming off four neck surgeries, Manning still has plenty of leverage, as evidenced by the lengths teams are going to stay in the race. Any contract Manning signs will provide protection for the team in case his neck issues resurface while also paying the quarterback at a premium rate.

NFL Network's Albert Breer reports Peyton Manning plans to make a decision on his future Monday or Tuesday.
''People involved'' aren't convinced Manning will adhere to the deadline, but a league source expects the decision to be made early next week. According to Breer, Manning's next contract will resemble the five-year, $90 million deal he signed last season. In addition to the Broncos, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman watched Manning throw at Duke University on Tuesday.

WGFX 104-5 Nashville reports Peyton Manning will workout for the Titans Saturday.
Manning passed his physical with Tennessee earlier this week and is scheduled to throw for the Titans' coaching staff. According to NFL Network, a decision on Manning's future could be finalized Tuesday.

Mikhail Grabovski (Toronto Maple Leafs)

Latest contract details:
Contract:5 yr(s) / $27,500,000 Signing Bonus $1,500,000 Average Salary $5,500,000 End Year:2016 / 2017 Free Agent:2017 / Unrestricted

Mikhail Grabovski's newly signed five-year contract is worth $27.5 million.
Grabovski will now come with a cap hit of $5.5 million, which is the second highest on the Maple Leafs. That's quite a lot for Grabovski, who set a new career-high with 58 points last season and is likely to finish a bit below that in 2011-12. Grabovski is a great secondary scorer, but the Maple Leafs are now paying him money worthy of a first liner. He's 28 years old and we don't expect him to get much better than he already is.

Mikhail Grabovski has agreed to a five-year contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The financial terms of the deal are not yet known. Grabovski was one of the few players on the Maple Leafs' active roster that were scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Toronto had the opportunity to move him before the trade deadline, but they wanted to hold onto him in the hope that they would be able to lock him up to a long-term contract.He has 20 goals and 45 points in 59 games this season.
