Looking Forward ,Free Agency
Not going to talk about playoff loss . I am excited about the future of this team . With 22 players returning from IR and the improvement of our excellent rookie class the future looks bright 🌞.
Looking forward to free agency there are several intriguing possibilities. TE is a position that was lacking this season Trey Burton is a young FA TE that has been playing second fiddle to Zach Ertz and might be looking to find an opportunity to play with a hall of fame QB. IMHO rather than signing Vaccaro to an inflated contract there are two safeties that I Would rather have. Morgan Burnett and Lamarcus Joyner . Both of these players are more complete elite level players. Almost by definition free agent signings are over paid and if you have to over pay it should be elite talent. The most urgent need is at DE. This is one of the most expensive positions to fill and good players rarely make it to the market. That being said the player that interests me most is Sheldon Richardson. He is a versatile proven pass rusher and can play both outside and inside. We are very unlikely to have a shot at a good DE with where we pick in the draft. Richardson would be immediately one of our better defenders! Outside LB is another area that could use some help. Nigel Bradham is a stellar three down LB that is excellent in coverage Slot receiver was thought to be a strength with Snead but he highly under performed. Adding Jarvis Landry would give us a elite performer and would probably be even better with a QB like Brees. He is only 26! Two others I would consider are Josh Gordon and Allen Robinson . Obviously Gordon is high reward high risk pick and you would like to have some protection in the contract to protect you if he relapses. Once again imagine the m kind of production he could have with Brees throwing him the ball! Robinson had huge season two years ago with Bortles as his QB. These are just a few of my thoughts going forward adding one or maybe two of any of these players would be epic IMHO! |
