Kyle update, 10:42: The saints expressed an interest in Richard Sherman, by Tom Pelissero. Kris Richard, who trained Sherm in Seattle, is now the defense coach of New Orleans.
The first day of free agency saw many edge rush talent hired. There were some exaggerated deals, as well as some bargains. If you missed any of the signings, we follow them here.
We will update on the latest free agency hires since the 2nd. The Broncos exercised the $ 7 million guarantee option in Von Miller, then he will not reach the free agency. Denver will pay Miller $ 18 million in 2021.
The Jaguars signed two cornerbacks. They rehired the choice of ex-Eagles in the second round, Sidney Jones. The Jags also stole one of Seattle’s starting cornerbacks, Shaquill Griffin, who signed a $ 40 million three-year deal.
The Ravens signed with Tyus Bowser for a four-year agreement worth $ 22 million.
The Rams restructured the Jalen Ramsey and Robert Woods contract to create $ 20 million in cap space. Ian Rapoport reported that the conversions of Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp would put the Rams below the threshold.
The award-winning free agent of the day happened on Tuesday morning, when Chargers’ former tight end, Hunter Henry, signed a three year business for $ 37.5 million. New England has now signed with Henry, Jonnu Smith, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne. By the way, here are the details of Bourne’s contract:
Kendrick Bourne (Patriots) three years, $ 15M, $ 5.25M gtd, $ 4.25M signing bonus, salaries $ 1M (gtd), $ 3.5M, $ 4M, up to $ 750K per list bonus game active, $ 1.5M annual catch, annual yard incentive, up to $ 3 million catch, 2023 base escalator

Back in New England, which is buying a former first-round pick, N’Keal Harry. The 49ers were interested in Harry, and if it weren’t for the Patriots’ selection, Harry, it wouldn’t have been a surprise to see the Niners take him in place of Deebo Samuel.
Josh Weinfuss of ESPN said there are at least three teams for Harry. The 49ers and the Cardinals make sense. We’re going to introduce Cleveland as the third, as we’re playing the guessing game. How would you feel about Harry in the bay area?
