So NFL.com had a list of every single unrestricted FA for every team. Going through the names I compiled a list below of names that stood out to me that I think would be solid pick ups and in our Target/Wal Mart price range. Oh, and heres the link if any of you want to compile your own list. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000459443/article/2015-nfl-unrestricted-free-agents-by-team

1.Torrey Smith WR

2. Owen Daniels TE

3.Osi Umenyiora DE

4. Eric Winston OT

5. Miles Austin WR

6. Wes Welker WR

7. Demarius Thomas WR

8. Tramon Williams CB

9. Bryan Bulaga OT

10. Jason Pierre-Paul DE

11. Darrius Heyward-Bey WR

12. Eddie Royal WR

13. Michael Crabtree WR

14. Mike Iupati G

Im pretty sure I overlooked some players that would be solid pick ups. These are just the names that caught my eye that could be in our price range. Looking at the list, FA this year seems to be very deep at WR, unfortunatley its very shallow as far as O line is concerned which is worrisome considering we dont pick until 25 in the draft and LT just might be our biggest need.

Bulaga and Eddie Royal are reasonable options for us. Both are still relatively young and wouldn't cost a fortune.

Although Bulaga's market could become too pricey for us.

Bulaga currently plays RT, but he did have to fill-in at LT before because somebody got hurt. Bulaga actually did ok there, so he will want to be paid like a LT, not a RT. Since there's not many FA options at LT, he will get that big $$$ deal. Question is can we afford to be the team to give him that deal? Or is the question can we afford to NOT be the team to give him that deal?

 

Glad I'm not the GM.......

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
