Triangle Cheat Sheet: NFL Free Agency Day 1

We’re one day into the NFL’s free-agency signing period, and boy, has it been busy. We understand not everybody has time to follow every single Browns signing or 49ers signing, let alone the specific contract details of each. So to help keep you up to date on the big moves you should know, we’ve compiled a (very short) list of NFL guys some of the teams have signed, accompanied with a social media element to mix things up. All contract information is courtesy of Spotrac.com.

Chicago Bears

Lamarr Houston, 5 years, $35 million

Sometimes, message boards are where you find that real talk:

“I’m pretty excited about this dude.. Sounds like we got a good one.. He got paid.. He better earn that cash now!”

“Lamarr’s arms are bigger than my legs.”
