What are the chances we make a splashy FA signing?

We have like $35mil before any potential cuts like Poe or Short. I don’t see us getting rid of Short but we could free up another what, $12mil cutting Poe?  I could see us getting one semi splashy or maybe splashy FA. Dunno if that’s how Rhule operates though. I could see us possibly going after Clowney (splashy) or JPP (semi splashy).  There’s a number of mid tier MLBs available too. Schobert, Ogletree, Bradham (I think). I definitely see us signing one of those (or an equivalent).

This.

I can see 2-3 solid mid-tier signings for guys that are still in or a bit before their prime. 

Blake Martinez (26 y/o) ILB from GB could be an interesting one if he doesn't re-sign.

Don't want to over invest in the secondary but Karl Joseph could be super intriguing to help out the unit.

Clowney would be nice but no way we can outbid other teams.

I would like to go after Trent Williams and solidify out LT spot.

Those splashy FA picks really worked out for us last year... How about we take a hard pass?

Just because you dont win the lottery does that mean you stop playing? Sometimes you win some times you lose, just because it didn't work out doesn't mean it cant. Free agents can be busts just like draft picks. Thing is you need both to supplement and have a good football team.

    • Nfl leaders don't look at the population of just the city itself.  Charlotte has three of the top fifty combined statistical areas within a 1 to 1.5 hour drive.  Charlotte, Greensboro/WS/High Point, and Greenville Spartanburg.  Those three statistical areas include nearly 7 million people.  Other than Raleigh, the only one in the top fifty within an hour and half of raleigh is Greensboro.  So only about 4-5 million people.  Charlotte has many more people to draw from.   Also, many of the surrounding communities for Raleigh are not native born.  If memory serves, many still refer to Cary as Containment area for relocated Yankees.  One of the reasons the Canes do so well is a significant portion of the population are people who moved from Northern Areas.  Would that population translate into support for a NFL team?  Hard to say, but I see a tremendous amount of Giants/Jets jerseys in the triangle when I forced to endure the crazy traffic on 40/85.
