I agree Verner is better than Shields, but Verner wouldn't come here to be a #2 CB when he will have offers from other teams to be "the guy" at cornerback in my opinion. Verner also might be too expensive since our cap situation is pretty bad..

Oh no, my brother, don't think of him as a No. 2 - we'll just have two No. 1s whereby we'll have matchup advantages...

realistically, I doubt we'll be able to afford him which makes the Keenan Lewis signing that much more significant...

Pro Bowl center Alex Mack will give Cleveland Browns right of first refusal if he hits market | cleveland.com

Another FA linebacker, Brandon Spikes, is only 26 years old and is worth looking into...

Not sold on Orkapo's health vs what it would take to get him...

Could Tampa Bay be a possible destination for Alex Mack?!?

I think we should let most of ours go and make a bit of a splash in FA...

Greg Hardy
BJ Raji
Johnny Jolly
Aqib Talib
Jo-Lonn Dunbar (welcome back)
Alterraun Verner
Michael Robinson
Perry Riley

All the names that stand out to me that I would try and look into.

I also see us keeping these guys.

Jimmy Graham, TE
Charles Brown, OL
Zach Strief, OL
Kenyon Coleman, DE (maybe not this guy since hes a bit older)
Keyunta Dawson, DE (wish he could've played more)
Parys Haralson, LB (offer him a cheap contract since he's Injury prone)
Ramon Humber, LB

One problem, cap.......you will maybe be able to sign one or two free agents..... But you won't be breaking the bank on players like Greg Hardy who's likely to be franchised by the panthers. Also I've heard a lot of people who want parys haralson back, WHY!!!! 1 sack I think, hell Martez Wilson had one of those.... Plus two years straight with the same type of injury... Have a nice life.....

The draft is corner heavy...... So I think I would seriously consider getting my corner in the draft. If we could snag verner I promise I wouldn't be mad.... And Maybe I take a chance on orakpo staying healthy and I give him a deal.....
