Will We sign Another Free Agent Before The Draft?

Rugby Saint II · 04-22-2021, 01:30 PM

There are still several players out there who could be brought in to fill out the roster so we're not filling holes but upgrading with the draft. That's been our strategy since Sean came here. Who else can we afford before the draft and who do you want that is reasonably priced?

I don’t see any more significant signings before the draft. Afterwards, some veteran addition at CB Will likely be needed. This may happen after camps start and a Vet is released. I hold hopes that Fitzgerald will be added as a WR, but that likely won’t happen.

Steven Nelson and KJ Wright would be nice. There's plenty of 30+yr old DTs available.

All depends on the draft now though.

I we sign an journeyman let’s say LB, it would be dictating that most prolly and I say prolly were going CB. I hope we learned our lesson on trading up, on a. crap shoot for an edge rusher that does his part on staying just above water to avoid the B word.

No I don’t think so. I think we have some guys like Richard Sherman that we’ll aggressively pursue after the draft if we can’t fill needs.

Prolly not... but I am sure they have a short list for after the completion of the draft, both for UDFA and veteran players. They seem too find more than their fair share of UDFA.

I'm hoping we re-sign Kwon Alexander.

The drop off when he got injured was huge and he seems to be progressing well in his achilles rehab.

We keep signing nobody's to the roster. Those aren't the players I'm referring to in this thread. Throw some names out there. Who do you want?

I like him and would be excited to have him on the team. I realize that most free agents will be signed after the draft but we still have holes that don't need a rookie starting outside the first couple of rounds.
