The first three and Suggs have already signed elsewhere.

[XClown1986]

Trey Flowers, Za'darius Smith, Preston Smith, and Terrell Suggs are all off of the market.

id just stick to the draft. Maybe one or two flyers on Dline in FA for very cheap.

We really need to put ourselves in a much better cap situation for future seasons. 

[Ricky Spanish]

Kick the tires on Anasah, Morgan, Ray, Jordan, and Wake.

Yeah I think a one year deal for ansah could be a solid move. I feel the same about Quinn if he gets released.

Thanks for that.

No problem.

I have a feeling we're gonna be looking for rushers in the draft rather than free agency though.

Could be wrong. We'll see.

Quinn makes a lot of sense. He's more of a 4-3 DE but I think he can play in a 3-4 and is from South Carolina

Add Nick Perry to the list. Packers plan on releasing him.

You would think that, but he was actually terrible in a 3-4. Big reason why the Rams quickly shipped him to Miami

 

This goes back to, you cant just plug any DE inti a 3-4 and call it good

My biggest concern is most DEs (unless top 5 or 10) take a couple of years to really hit their stride.  I hope we get at least one free agent DE.

Hope we dont even consider him

Everyone though the top edge guys wouldn't make it to us at 16

2 teams who were projected to draft a Edge guy ahead of us have addressed that need in FA.  So a Sweat or Burns may fall
