OK so many of you want jarvis landry but in reality he might be one of the highest paid free agents this season . He is very talented and i would love to have him but theres better ways to do this . I feel like the way to win free agency is kind of like the stock market you want to buy low on some one that can potential blow up . We need to find players that are going to be lower priced that have potential and im not talking dumpster diving like gettleman did spending money on players that cant make a team roster but pretty well known names that can fit our scheme and that are going under the radar.  Here we go these are some players we should look at .

.john brown

.brice butler

kendell wright 

all of these players can stretch the field for us and add multiple of them or add one with lets say a bigger name like watkins or pryor and draft a wr early in the draft and we are set and finally give cam the weapons he needs for him to exceed his potential.

John Brown or Marquis Lee would be enough to get me excited.  Then draft a guy early (top 3 rounds) and we are all set.  Especially with Samuel and Byrd hopefully contributing a full season next year (crossing my fingers for health).   The WR core is not as dire as some would think.  It definitely needs a veteran speed addition and Funch compliment, but Bersin, Shephard and Clay will be replaced with Samuel, Byrd and whoever the FA addition is.

Yep, just what we need at WR... more JAGs. We have several guys on the roster that fit the mold of a 4th or 5th WR on the depth chart. What we need are some legit damn WRs. Right now, we have one guy who's proven that he can be counted upon to play a significant role in the WR corps and that's Funchess. Seriously, that's it. Everyone else is just potential and question marks.

I realize that folks think we need to find a top receiver in free agency but I suspect if we do anything we will either use the 3rd we got for Benjamin to replace him through the draft or a trade for a WR. That seems more likely than spending big bucks on a free agent given our MO is to not pay for expensive free agents. Outside of Kalil, when have we done that in the last decade.

No more projects. No more "what if" guys.

Get proven talent. If we have to open the wallet some, so be it. We have generational talent on both sides of the ball right now. I'm done wasting that trying to fill in skill positions like wide receiver by dumpster diving.

Unbelievable......buying low is what we have been doing the last 5 years with gettleman. AND IT NEVER WORKED outside of Ginn. Not interested in repeating the same process. 

yeah well when the value is there you take it no matter what has happened before...it's not about buying low it's about talent and just  because the price is going to be low the talent is still there..

    • Sounds encouraging.  I agree about the LB....I was CERTAIN second round would be a LB.  I would also like to add that, on paper, DL looked solid--but only 1 performed well in 2025 (2 if you count Robinson, who is now gone).  I am guessing they feel that the LB play will improve with the improvement up front--logical.  Remember the old rule (not sure who said it first) "You build from the inside out, front to back."   We drafted, in my early opinion, a starting NT and C this year.  inside out, front to back. 
    • Agree--I think a mid-level tackle but he could prove to be an elite G--not sure how he would do at RT--or maybe Freeling---lotta moving parts--but I would look at him at G if mid-level T is his ceiling--he has been improving, but the injury..
    • Worked an event that many players were at including Ickey. Talked to him, looks and walks around good/normal. Taylor Moton released a new Tequila with his partner Matt Kahlil. Taylor looks great and is psyched for the season. He's such a good guy. Even Derrick Brown, very focused. It's like a quiet, calm I'm gonna rip through you confidence. Building his forever home and sticking around CLT. Bryce stopped in, but was upbuilding talking to the guys, not drinking, smoking cigars like others. There was little different aura with them, almost a quiet confidence, some fun. Reminded me of the 2013-2018 era. Had an event Tuesday with TD (he was there last night too) and he thinks the team looks real good, maybe just needs an another LB. He loves the Devin Lloyd pick up.  No negative comments, just giving a nice update on some players.
