2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

Not even sure Titans bite on the 5th pick for cooks let alone 3s aswell.

I think any deal for Cooks is coming post FA starting

I do laugh when people say you dont want tagged as your career could end and you won't get paid

You've got issues if you cant live off Franchise tag money for the rest of your life

Torrey Smith reportedly on the outs in San Francisco | ProFootballTalk

Possible vertical threat for Brees? Torrey is a fast guy that's for sure.

We all know the top tier FA agents people want

Who are the 3/4th tier FA that could be worth a look,depending on price

A few that interest me

Chris Thompson (RFA), RB, Redskins. Age: 26.
Chris Thompson has been one of the NFL's better third-down backs over the past couple of seasons. Though he doesn't carry the ball very much, Thompson caught 49 passes in 2016.

Rex Burkhead, RB, Bengals. Age: 27.
Rex Burkhead is a solid, pass-catching back who was given a chance to shine when Giovani Bernard was knocked out with an injury. He took full advantage of it, snatching four receptions in some games.


Andre Ellington, RB, Cardinals. Age: 28.
'Member when Andre Ellington was seen as a great, young running back for the Cardinals? Ellington was fantastic, but hasn't done much the past two years. However, he's been stuck behind David Johnson and Chris Johnson on the depth chart. He caught 46 passes in 2014, so perhaps he can serve as a third-down back for some team.


James Starks, RB, Packers. Age: 31
Ronnie Hillman, RB, Chargers. Age: 25.
Justin Forsett, RB, Broncos. Age: 31

Very cheap only,kick returner low roster WR
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR/KR, Vikings. Age: 26.
It's difficult to grade Cordarrelle Patterson. On one hand, he's been an absolute failure as a receiver. He was a first-round pick from the 2013 NFL Draft, and he just set a career-high in receptions with only 52. On the other hand, Patterson, just 26, still has tons of potential, and he's also a dynamic kick returner.


Torrey Smith, WR, 49ers. Age: 28.
It was obvious Torrey Smith was going to be a bust signing when he left a perennial playoff contender, taking the money and going to one of the worst organizations in professional sports. Smith was horrible, logging 53 receptions in two years. Granted, he had horrible quarterbacks throwing the ball to him, but his heart and effort were lacking. Smith could rebound in a new home, but I have to wonder if he has mentally checked out of football.

Robert Woods, WR, Bills. Age: 25.
Robert Woods has yet to live up to his second-round billing. He caught 10 passes for 162 yards in a game versus Seattle this past season, but has done nothing otherwise. He's still only 25 in April, so perhaps he'll be able to improve in the near future.

Same as Paterson
Ted Ginn, WR/KR, Panthers. Age: 32.
Ted Ginn eclipsed the 50-catch barrier for the Panthers this past season and still served as a dangerous kick returner. However, Ginn turns 32 in April, so he doesn't have much time remaining in the NFL.


Justin Hunter, WR, Bills. Age: 26



Vernon Davis TE





Luke Joeckel, G/OT, Jaguars. Age: 25.
I'm listing Luke Joeckel as a two-star free agent because he's only 25 and was once the second-overall pick in the draft. It's not inconceivable that he could turn his career around. Unfortunately, Joeckel has been an abomination thus far. He was slightly less worse at guard than tackle, so perhaps he'll have a future there like Robert Gallery once did. Probably not, though.

Chance Warmack, G, Titans. Age: 25.
Chance Warmack hasn't played like a two-star player; he's been awful. However, he was the No. 10 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, so he has some potential




Damontre Moore, DE, Seahawks. Age: 24
Andre Branch, DE, Dolphins. Age: 28.
Rob Ninkovich, DE, Patriots. Age: 33

Vet Min
Mario Williams,seems done as a rusher but always been good setting the edge




Duron Harmon, S, Patriots. Age: 26.
Duron Harmon, a former third-round pick, plays in the nickel and does a solid job. He's stuck behind Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung, however, so he could start for some other team.
