More beef up front, on either side. Maybe a Fleecer replacement, not Grambeaux though. And always more DBs.

The Jimmy Garoppolo situation is going to be very interesting. The Saints would seem to be a logical fit and could possibly be a 10-15 year solution. I would bet New England applies the franchise tag, but if they don't it could be something to watch.

I don't see a team paying someone $22 million (QB Tag) to watch Brady play.

Re: The way to early 2018 FA watch list

Well, the bigger issue for us is cap management and that's likely to dictate what we do in free agency...

For example, will we be trading folks for future cap relief? Also, do we extend contracts coming due or move on?

Only real needs we have at the moment is TE, reserves at LB, DT3, maybe a reserve Interior Offensive Lineman...

This is a balanced team with adequate depth at all positions; in fact, we just released a good cornerback, a premium position no less...

TEVIN SMITH - WLB from the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is a healthy version of Ellerbe & is always around the ball (4.5 speed).

Damn, good looking out Hagan.

He is a good player and the Jag defense is trending up. Good for him though.

I was keeping an eye on him

Jags have some big money contracts coming up

Some thing has to give Odd man out in Jacksonville

Allen Robinson 4 - $58 million ?
Marqise Lee 4 - 42 million ?
Allen Hurns WR Jaguars 6012 198 4.55 UDFA = 5 - $40 million no dead cap in 2018

So I am watching
Aaron Colvin CB Jaguars = Nickle CB
I hoping he slip through the cracks
