I would think Ivory's money is the floor for Miller's deal.

You're probably right. Although, technically, Ivory had a better year last year and hopefully Miller's options are getting a bit more limited and we can work a better deal. Wouldn't shock me to see Miller get a bit more, though.

Travis Benjamin is headed to the Chargers, so scratch him off the list.

Lamar Miller likely to get ~$7 million/yr. Ought to find out soon. Doug Martin just got about the same to stay with the Bucs.

Wayyyy too quiet on the tight end front. The draft is terrible for the position to get an impact player this year. Ladarius Green likely to sign with the Steelers. No talk (yet) of any players on the market that the team has interest in signing.

Boy, might be hard to fit Miller in now that they've reached a deal with Os (have to shorten that name!).

Miller signed 4-yr, $26M per multiple reports. $14M guaranteed.

About to drop Hoyer's $5.25 million salary.

Lost Brandon Brooks to Eagles for 5-yr $40M but will add Jeff Allen for 4-yr $28M.

“Jeff Allen only started eight games in 2015, but he was as critical to the success of the Chiefs offense as anyone on the offensive line. His ability to protect Alex Smith and open up running lanes allowed Kansas City to maintain balance on offense after Jamaal Charles was lost for the season. He possesses some versatility, however is much better suited for guard than tackle. He certainly helped himself by playing so well in a contract year, but will need to be more consistent moving forward to avoid being a future cap casualty.”

Allen is another quality blocker with the kind of size-athleticism combination that should be able to fit in any offensive system. Given how much the Texans lost on the interior with Brandon Brooks and Ben Jones going elsewhere, this is the kind of versatile player they needed to grab and they pulled it off.
