FA targets....

Who I want in free agency: Graham Glascow, Robby Anderson, Shaq Lawson, Joe Schobert, Ha Ha Clinton Dix

Who I want to resign: Gerald McCoy, James Bradberry, Mario Addison, GVR, Chris Hogan, Ross Cockrell

Draft: Derrick Brown (DT) Jeff Gladney (CB) Erza Cleveland (LT,G)

If we re-sign Cockrell, Elliott and get Bradberry his new deal, we can skip over CB in the draft.  Of course that's unless a steal happens to fall to us.  Anyway, we have the potential to retain guys that allows us focus elsewhere on draft day.  Besides a safety, the focus on the defense in this draft should be on the front seven.

No Allen yet?  This is interesting....

I am not feeling good about signing Bradberry.  I would be surprised if he doesn't find something else with a team willing to pay him.

If so, save some money and sign a guy a tier below Bradberry.  I'm serious about hoarding cap space and comp picks though.  I want us to the this years 49ers in 2022.

Idk man Gladney, Hall, etc are better than all of them including Bradberry

I got ya, but I'm trying to build through the draft and not through FA.  Retaining your own doesn't count against comp picks.  Signing FAs to your team counts against comp picks.  As I stated in another post, I'm not really caring exactly how bad this team is next year as long as we get younger at key positions through solid drafting the next couple of years.

Yea this is assuming Cam comes back next year. If he doesn't Im not signing any free agents, but if he comes back and is healthy I think we can still go all in. Also all those guys I want to sign are super young, but yea Im basing this off Cam returning, although gotta go CB in the draft.... probably the second best position in this draft (its absolutely loaded.)

Demarcus Robinson is someone I would be interested in. Chiefs are not planning on bringing him back.

Now that I think about it, if we let Bradberry test free agency he will be a Redskin. Quentin Dunbar is getting released and so is Norman. Ron will definitely overpay for certain.

Yeah but Ron’s not the GM in DC. The Redskins GM might prove wiser and overru....

 

Yeah.

Yeah I see what you mean. The Skins are def overpaying for Bradberry if we let him test FA.

1. James Bradberry- im sorry, dude isnt going to get some bankbuster deal.  This isnt Norman 2.0, JNo was the #1 CB FA prospect coming off a DPOY esq season.  Bradberry has been solid, but most have him the #2-3 CB in this FA class (FWIW PFF has him the #7 CB in this FA class)  He may dip his toes in the water thinking he can get more $$.  But will realize much like Daryl Williams last year, that no one else will give much more than we will offer.  13 mil a year seems about right for him and will be worth it for us.

2. Jordan Phillips- Big, Tall, Long, Strong, Athletic, just how Rhule likes.  Former 2nd round pick under Adam Gates in Miami.  One of the many players who failed under Gates, was cut by Miami and spent this year in Buffalo.  This year as a Bill, part of a 3 man DT rotation, he had 9.5 sacks and was a force.  Spotrac has his projected contract as 6.1 mil, one Bills site projects someone will sign him at around a 3 years 21 mil mark.

 

3. Robby Anderson- former Rhule player who seems to love and want to play for Rhule.  WR is needed in some form this offseason.  Joe Brady's offense is going to be 3 WR base min with some 4 WR sets.  Right now Moore is the only WR worth anything.  Another WR we have is Samuel, who will be going into the last year of his deal.  Beyond that is a big ?   Anderson's projected contract per spot track is 12 mil a year.  If we can squeeze the space, this would be a big pickup

4. Carl Nassib- one of my former draft crushes.  This staff has plenty of Penn State ties, Joe Brady, Rhule, etc.  Nassib is just a flat out Rhule style kid.  He finally broke out and had a a solid season. Was PFFs #4 highest defensive grade for the Bucs this season.

How is wr remotely a need this year?

All this uncertainty we build through draft albeit hurneys draft, save money, can hurney, and start fresh next year. Anyone we sign iant going to be an improvement and throws us deeper in the hole money wise. Roll with what we got and see whonstands out esp if no Cam. Throw allen and grier out there, grab another rb to take load off McCaffrey and play the cards we were dealt. Keep bradberry away let him go to Washington, let shorts contract run out and focus on oline in draft. 

ITS TOO MUCH TO FIX ALL THIS ESP IF WE HAVE A GM WHOS NOT ONLY INCOMPETENT BUT MAY NOT BE HERE IN AUGUST. HE ALREADY fugED US WITH SHAQ SIGNING HE WILL DO THE SAME WITH BRADBERRY
