PFF 2015 free agents

WillSaints81 · 01-30-2015, 02:07 AM

We need to sign a leader, thats for certain. Maybe more than 1.

I was and assuming he doesn't end up on IR each year am happy with the signing of Byrd last year. It was a ....fest all over the field last year but get him a good SS to play with a let Vaccaro roam the field and we will be fine next year. I would have rather signed Alex Mack if we could have tempted him though

Well, we can rectify that with either:

Stefen Wisniewski, C, 26 years
Rodney Hudson, C, 26 years

You know, with regards to Vaccaro, really thought of him as more of a free safety in the NFL, patrolling the mid-field; that's yet another reason I didn't like committing money to Byrd...

I was beating the drum about this guy when he was available after leaving JAX, but many referred to his weight issues and lack of effort as a reason to disregard him.

Man, I wish the Saints had signed him then, much like I had hoped they would sign Canty before he went to Baltimore.

Read somewhere that a solid defense is built in a straight line.

NT - LB - S

What's missing here?

Terrance Knighton, NT, i think we missed the band wagon on this guy. should have gone after him when he and jack ran off to denver.

now he will be looking for the huge pay day and bring to town a hige weight issue problem? nope missed the boot on him IMO

I will take these two over Terrance for cap reasons and improved play over the past few years.

NT
Dan Williams, NT, Cardinals. Age: 28
Kenrick Ellis, NT, Jets. Age: 27.

ILB
Mason Foster, ILB, Buccaneers. Age: 26
Light comes on in 2015 gamble signing

Bruce Carter, OLB, Cowboys. Age: 27.
for the love of god put him back at ILB in 34 already

which from the cowboys scrape heap do you want? there are a few.

Bruce has his moments but takes off too many plays for me.

Since you speak of the Cows, here is one for you Hagin ... Sean Lee.

Edit: Sean is not a UFA however Rolando McClain is. He has great size, speed and arrives with bad intentions.

Thoughts on McClain?

Like the Cardinals' Dan Williams as well, but he doesn't control the point on passing plays as well as on run plays...

J-E-T-S' Ellis is great, but isn't he a restricted free agent?!?

nope UFA

neither is huge in pass rush but against the run they are solid

I think the priorities in Free Agency have to be two new interior offensive linemen that are still young, entering their primes...

Should cap space be created that wouldn't further worsen the eventual cap doomesday we're facing, then a nose tackle to rotate with Jenkins or a space gobbling/ multi-blocker occupying defense end (i.e. Wilks, Geathers) ro allow Hicks to slide to the nose tackle rotation would be the next priority...

Know the inclination for many is another cornerback, but look, as pathetic as some of those 3rd and long plays that broke our backs was, c'mon, there was waaaay too much time for opposing quarterbacks on those plays...
