Tour2ma Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Wow! That is news! Wonder if they still get an OT. Well.... it does take Zeke out of the running, so that's one less reason to trade down. It's the De-Chipping of the Eagles... Makes our house-cleanings seem puny...

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Ideally, I'd like to see us go in and make a decent splash in FA this year. Unlikely? Sure. But I think if we were able to land, say, four "impact" free agents, it would do wonders for our draft board. When I say "impact", I don't necessarily mean top-10 guys, per se, but more impactful to the franchise by filling voids caused either by a dearth of talent or departing UFA's. If I add to envision a scenario that would make me absolutely ecstatic, I'd say something like (numbers in parentheses are SI.com FA ranking): Sign Danny Trevathan (17) Sign Stefan Wisnewski (46) Sign George Iloka (9) Sign Andre Smith (26) Sign Marvin Jones (15) All of these players are young, fill a void, and have proven themselves at this level. This would replace a departed Mack, a departed Schwartz and a departed Gipson with young talent, plus add a three-down ILB from the Ohio area and a young, tall boundary receiver as #2 WR to help keep defenses more honest. This is a doable, realistic FA strategy, in my opinion. And it would eat up about 20-25 million of our 40 million budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Olivier Vernon just had his transition tag removed bc the Fins completed the signing of Williams.

Vagitron Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ladarius Green likely to steelers. Miller still had gas in the tank IMO but gotta respect his choice to retire. He was the most complete tight end in the nfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
