Potential Free Agents


DaveThePanther2008

Recommended Posts

We have discussed and argued about who we will draft in the upcoming 2021 draft but we will have to fill many spots in Free Agency.  There are several free agents that could fill needed positions.  When Tepper bought the team he said we would be aggressive in free agency.   To date I haven't seen it.  I wonder if he'll actually be aggressive this offseason. 

This link is all potential free agents.  Who interests you the most and can fit our budget.

I don't pay much attention to other teams performance so I will leave the evaluation to you guys.

Resign Taylor Moton, and if we could get Trent Williams to mentor a rookie LT for a year or 2 to take over down the line would be AMAZING. Would allow us to not have to reach on any OT's in the draft too. Xavier Rhodes if you have some money left, but he's played too well for us to have a chance at him. When he's in a zone based defense, he can be very good.

MLB - Denzel Perryman 

OLB/Edge - Hasson Reddick

CB - Shaquille Griffin

 

Reddick would be awesome, especially with his connections.  But the dude is going to get PAID this year.

He has 12.5 sacks and 6 FF in a contract year.  Had we not signed Shaq, id say sure.

Taylor Moton should be #1, 2, and 3.

 

You dont let a Dominant OL who has been one of your most reliable and consistent players on the team walk (how many games has he missed to injury)

 

This CB group intrigues me.  This is being hyped as a very strong CB class in the draft.  And when this happens, you see some teams get hesitant to throw big $ at the older vet when they can get a stud on the cheap rookie deal.

Yiu could get a guy like Williams Jackson for a steal.  Heck, I doubt  Patrick Peterson even goes north of 11.5-12 mil a year

Sean Lee? Are you high? Only way is if he agrees to forgo any game check where he isnt active.

Sure what ever you say doc, you guys know better than me. The guy was a stud when healthy. He would still be an upgrade over whitehead. We absolutely need some veterans on this team. Alex Mack basically solidified Atlanta’s oline and gave Matt Ryan time to find Julio on any route, he would be an instant upgrade. Rhodes could fill “Peanuts” role in the secondary, and if Lee could stay healthy we would have a decent Mike which we need. But sure since you don’t agree, I’m high or ignorant. Whatever, huddle is going to huddle.

Sean Lee sucks. He makes Okung look like Cal Ripken

I didn’t say he was a world beater, by all means find a better Mike on that list. I am not debating whether Lee is the fit, I am desperately looking for a Mike that is still upright, who do you have? Perryman is fine, again not arguing.

Rhule might be able to keep Reddick going...but signing a guy to a big contract based on one year of production in a contract year is 99% of the time going to end poorly.  

Priority #1 is Moton.  Priority #2 is Samuel (though he seems gone).  Thuney would be amazing. After that, honestly waiting to see who all gets cut as multiple teams are going to be slashing costs to get under the Covid cap, and there could be multiple teams blowing it up a bit as their QBs age out.  Things going south between Dak and Dallas would be a fun door to open, either for us to kick the tires or a QB needy team drafting ahead of us to push a guy down our way.

    • I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.
    • Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.  
    • I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
