2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

Hopefully not much and more depth
I really think we need a true 3rd down back

Washington Redskins release veteran defensive end Ricky Jean Francois

Another depth/rotational guy? 30 yrs old and should come fairly cheap. Also went to LSU so might get a discount.

I suppose he'd be a pretty good rotational DT, but we don't really need anymore depth there at the moment. He's a 3-4 DE, but not a 4-3 DE. I think he's like 300+ pounds.

He is over 3 bills. ESPN has him at 313. Almost all the same measurements at Davidson but RJF is bigger.

Dontari Poe signs with the Failclowns. That's a nice signing... Bastards.

I'd sure have felt better now if Loomis had gone a hair more and signed Kevin Zeitler...

I hear you, but Warford has a better supporting cast here than he did in Detroit. I think he'll bounce back and be a huge upgrade. Provided he's healthy of course.
