I'm not worried about affording Star and Short.  We could sign a few quility free agents this year and still make it work.  The following draft class of KB, Ealy, and Short is the one that could make finances tights if we spend too much this year. 

I think you mean Turner, not Short for the following draft class. 

KB would have the 5th year option, so we could push his contract by a year.  

BUT, there's Bene too.  If Bene has a breakout year in 2016 playing on the outside, where he seems a lot better...., and if we let J-NO go.... YIKES.  Gonna be tough to pay for all these studs that Gettleman keeps drafting.  Great problem to have, but YES, TOUGH CHOICES!

Norwell too. He's probably not going to get quite as much as Turner, but he's not going to be cheap either.

I have faith that DG will draft well as he always has to make sure we have suitable replacements at these spots.

Corner is only a big need if we're assuming that Josh is definitely only a 1 year rental, which I don't think is set in stone. As far as an immediate need, safety is definitely bigger. Harper wasn't great but he was better than Boston and it was still a weakness. Boston could improve this offseason, and I really like him, but adding Weddle would be a huge upgrade.

In addition to this, Safeties need pressure and help underneath, and solid, consistent deep support.  Weddle's leadership and intelligence would be a plus int he backfield.  Boston is not the leader Weddle would be, nor is Coleman.  I am also very intritued about Marlowe.

Norwell was undrafted, so his contract was only for 3 years. He'll be a RFA this time next year. He could be another extension possibility sooner rather than later.

Good point. Hopefully we can get him for "cheap" and a 1st or 2nd round tender is nice fall back plan.

Definitely think we extend him this offseason. Him and KK are locks to be extended in my opinion. Also think Coleman and Oher are possible and maybe even Ginn. Philly is definitely a possibility as well but not a priority.

Every SD fans wants Jalen Ramsey cause they are tired of seeing Weddle get burned LOL

 

But yeah keep think he's some prize possession, I don't like Boston but I would rather start him then waste money on a washed up Weddle 

Every single fan of SD's that I have heard from wanted the front office to keep Weddle, much like Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles, and Louis Vasquez, before him.

The front office doesn't want to pay him, especially if they aren't close to contending, we are, and we need him, but I'm not championing for anyone to come here.

You don't know what you are talking about, and that is proven time and again.

 Bullchit go to the charges forum, they want to move on from Weddle. I'm almost positive you didn't see one charges game all of last season. Weddle is washed up all those other guys were in there primes

I'm pretty sure none of us watched a "Charges" game last year.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
