FA update.... those who remain

[eboozer]

Seems as if there is some value still left along the OL. CB and Safety are VERY thin, unless Revis comes onto the scene.

Looks as if Jets stay put with Allen @ SS and try and pick up someone during roster cut downs or the Draft. Ed Reed again, maybe? Or Jarrett Allen again. If we're lucky, Bush steps up after trailing Reed for the past several weeks.

From the CBS Sports FA Tracker:

OT

Brenno Giacomini (Ranked No. 4)

Anthony Collins (5)

Zach Strief (6)

Michael Oher (9)

(Howard & Saffold were 7/8)

Eric Winston (10)

OG

Travelle Wharton (1)

Willie Colon (4)

Rich Ohrnberger (6)

Davin Joseph (7)

Uche Nwaneri (8)

CB

Cro (4)

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (5)

Charles Tillman (6)

Captain Munnerlyn (7)

(Soon to include Revis (1))

S

Thomas DeCoud (9)

Kendrick Lewis (10)

Roman Harper (11)

James Ihedigbo (12)

Major Wright (13)

Thanks for the list

[slats]

Failing to upgrade from Cro, I could see him coming back.

he owes us one after we gave him the baby momma loan

[jetsjetsjetss]

I guess we could spend a lot to upgrade the o line

[MatthewPLP]

In other words, Idzik thinks its cool to head into the season 40 mil under the cap...What a dope.

It's March 12.  Not August.

Yeah lets sign tier 3 scrubs to fill out the roster..

[jgb]

In other words, Idzik thinks its cool to head into the season 40 mil under the cap...What a dope.

 

we will probably sign decker, maybe vick, some OL help and make a play for ware and/or revis. if two of those happen, then it is an active free agency.

Well it's not looking good that's for sure

 

We'll see though.

[stoicsentry]

How about targeting Wharton?

[Patriot Killa]

Major Wright is up for grabs ? He is a proven playmaker who can take a INT for 6 easy and he is only 25 Or 26. **** is Idzik waiting for ?

2014 NFL Free Agents

Tuesday, March 11, 2014

 

 

With access to NFL Players Association data, Rotoworld can generate the most accurate free agent list on the internet. The free agents below are listed loosely in order of how we see them being valued on the open market.

Keep in mind that franchise tags and re-signings will inevitably deplete the market. Things pick up quickly in the days preceding the March 8 negotiating period, and the market will largely evaporate one week after the official start of free agency on March 11.

For everything NFL, check out Rotoworld's Player News, and follow @Rotoworld_FB, @NickMensio, and @evansilva on Twitter.

The name that this missing from the list and a guy with a history tied to Idzik is Walter Thurmond III. I have a  feeling we bring him in and kick the tires before it is all said and done.

[MatthewPLP]

we will probably sign decker, maybe vick, some OL help and make a play for ware and/or revis. if two of those happen, then it is an active free agency.

 

They need a #1 corner in the worst way..They can't count on milner yet, cro was flat out bad last year, I'm glad he's gone. Safety position is kinda weak. I would have like to see them sign Byrd & V. Davis & a decent wideout at a minimum by now.

In other words, Idzik thinks its cool to head into the season 40 mil under the cap...What a dope.

 

Who do we play this Sunday, and are tickets still available?

[#27TheDominator]

OMG!  3 of the top 10 WRs have already signed!  Whatever will we do?!?!?!  

 

Major Wright is up for grabs ? He is a proven playmaker who can take a INT for 6 easy and he is only 25 Or 26. **** is Idzik waiting for ?

    Because it's a very thin position. He did have decent numbers with over 100 tackles.

    Probably because PFF's rankings are based on 2013 production alone and free agent rankings are based on several factors including age, past body of work, durability/injury risk, future potential, etc.

Somehow I doubt that with 10 draft picks and still 39M in cap space, we're still exactly the same team.

Major Wright is terrible.

[MatthewPLP]

The draft is a crap shoot. I much prefer signing players that have proven themselves..Ie; Byrd, Revis, Davis etc..Rex's system is built off man coverage and I don't like anyone else available except for Revis.

[Lizard King]

I'm trying my best not to armchair QB, but why didn't we go after Veldheer?

[Jetsfan80]

We can still sign players who have "proven themselves" without drastically overpaying.  And your Madden approach is not how the best franchises do things.  The Packers have plenty of cap space, but there they are, sitting and patiently waiting for the time to strike.

[TehFalcon63]

I have my pipe-dreams, but honestly, I just want us to do SOMETHING soon. The offseason is honestly just as fun as in-season.

Franchise Mode FTW!

[BroadwayJoe12]

Because it's not the smartest investment to give $7million+ to a RT.

[Lizard King]

Because it's not the smartest investment to give $7million+ to a RT.

He's a hell of a lot better than Howard though. And he probably could swing over to LT

He's a hell of a lot better than Howard though. And he probably could swing over to LT

 

He certainly is, but I just don't think it's smart to pay that amount of money to a RT, unless he's a road-grader like Phil Loadholt or Anthony Davis.  The money doesn't suit what we need.  Besides, the way Brick's contract is structure, we can't even entertain cutting him until after the 2015 season.

The draft is a crap shoot. I much prefer signing players that have proven themselves..Ie; Byrd, Revis, Davis etc..Rex's system is built off man coverage and I don't like anyone else available except for Revis.

which is why u will never be a GM (thank God)

We can still sign players who have "proven themselves" without drastically overpaying.  And your Madden approach is not how the best franchises do things.  The Packers have plenty of cap space, but there they are, sitting and patiently waiting for the time to strike.

 

Obviously yes, but they have far to many needs (left side Oline, right side getting old and detoriating) TE, WR, CB, RB... Ya ain't gonna fill those needs in the draft, 10 picks you might field a few good players if you're lucky. Obviously, long term that makes sense to build though the draft, but with 40 mil to spend, no left side of O-line, no proven corners, no wide outs...Yeah, I'd say they shoulda made 1-2 moves yesterday.  No such thing as overpaying, it's supply and demand. What's it worth to the team.

Take Ware off the list, just signed with Denver. Woodley is visiting the Pats and Tate is in Detroit. Things are really looking up for us now! #Patience
