(2) DE Malik Jackson (DEN), Tennessee; Height: 6' 6"; Weight: 290 lbs.

Likely to command around $10mil/year

(3) RG J.R. Sweezy (SEA), NC State; Height: 6' 5"; Weight: 295 lbs.

Could cost approximately 5 mil/year with few Guard options and a demand for the position (Wished we'd signed Boling last season instead of Browner)...

"Plenty of buzz" around J.R. Sweezy in free agency, per report - Field Gulls

(4) LG Tim Lelito (NO), Grand Valley St; 6' 4"; Weight: 315 lbs.

(5) TE Ben Watson (NO), Georgia; Height: 6' 3"; Weight: 255 lbs.

And it all starts to come together...

I haven't seen any talk about maybe trying to bring back Tyrunn Walker. Everyone seemed to agree that letting him go was a mistake and he'd fill a need for cheap.

Walker was great until two seattle players broke his leg. Disgusting cheapshot...

True... I forgot about that. Hopefully his recovery is going well and he'll be able to be the player he was pre-injury.

I'd also love to bring back Glenn Foster. I don't know why we cut the cord so quickly on him either.

He was a solid contributor however GF just can't stay healthy.

Panthers could release Charles Johnson.

Tyrunn Walker is not coming back for backup pay and his injury makes him a risk to sign as a starter...

I'd rather take the risk and sign Long...

In fact, I'd rather sign Malick Jackson...
