2017 Free Agency thread anyone?

The best snap into place for Dennis Allen would have to be Chandler Jones, but signing him could be problematic...

How much will he cost?

Should he sign, it'll be for more than Cam Jordan, how with that sit?

And is he clean? He did have an alleged synthetic marijuana incident...

Don't really see any other edge defender unless we move back to a 3-4?

And we have a 3-4 edge defender returning from injured reserve in Kikaha...

Don't forget that Kikaha excelled as a 4-3 DE at Washington before they converted to a 3-4 his senior year. And Payton had been saying he was looking forward to Kikaha's move to DE before his preseason injury.

Worry that Hau'oli Kikaha doesn't have the sand in his pants (bulk) to anchor the edge in a 4-3 front and that's why he was getting injured...

Guess we'll see what's happening...

I wouldn't be surprised if Kikaha and/or Anthony get moved this offseason...

You have Guard at the top of your list. This means we can be friends.

JeanPierre, you are my go to guy when I want to know about players that would really work for us, but you've finally lost me at Hoyer. Are you thinking backup with this guy or replacement? He does seem to have about two great games a season in him, but...

Backup, definitely; good football IQ, scrappy, competitive...

But the operative word is not replacement, it's transition...

He's a good quarterback, he's just not been with the right pro coaching...
