I’m curious to see who everyone’s interested in this free agency. 

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2022-nfl-free-agency-rankings-the-100-best-free-agents-from-von-miller-to-bobby-wagner-and-more/amp/

I’ll start,

Jordan Whitehead (FS)- Love this kid young only 24, physical player who shows up all over the field. I’m sure y’all remeber this guy when we played Tampa. Adding him to the roster also allows Chin to move to SS or LB. 

James Daniels (OG)- This would be a HUGE signing. Would come in and instantly fill a guard spot, another young guy only 24 with his best days ahead of him. Athletic and has bulked up from 304 his rookie year to now around 327, he’s developed and has the NFL weight room strength added to his game. Consistently improved over his first few seasons. Might be a bit costly but this would be an amazing signing.

Connor Williams (OG)- Another experienced young buck to add to the line. Needed to add weight in the NFL, came in at 295 and is now up to 320. Only 24, really solid pass protector. Even if we signed Daniels I would be completely happy signing him too. Fixing the interior would drastically change our line and this is a great FA class to do it on the interior.

Justin Reid (SS)- Great player coming off a really down year. Prior to this year he had produced two back to back 75.0 grades from PFF. Young and really athletic, this is the type of guy who makes you look smart giving him a contract in free agency. You bank on last year being an outlier and pay him way below his real worth.

Free agent flier: Evan Engram (TE) has all the traits and but is just so utterly inconsistent. Pure pass catcher, with no blocking. Would compliment Tremble and Thomas. Wouldn’t throw him more then a one year prove it deal. Engram does seem to be the type of player who will get a huge contract this off-season purely based off his traits and the lack of TE talent. But if he slips, he can come on down.

I'm a big fan of signing guys that were cut and don't count against the comp pick formula. We have several of our own in FA this season and stand to net several comp picks (which we may need if a certain trade happens).

Some that I like from this list (https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-salary-cap-cuts-2022-team-tracker-nfl-free-agency/zx5xnb9rqqc06kkm2opgol7b) :

  • G Rodger Saffold
  • LB A.J. Klein

Whitehead sounds perfect for us.  Conner sounds pretty good too.  

I'm not expecting Watson, so I think we'll go LT at 6,  Brady at guard.  Adding one proven guard gives us a real line.  Take a center with our 4th pick, let him learn behind Elf, or spend an early pick next year on a C that can start, and we are set for years on the line.

Engram is intriguing because McAdoo drafted him. Engram’s best season was his rookie season and the only one under McAdoo.

I’ve been hoping for James Daniels and Connor Williams from the jump. Two young IOL that would quickly bring our line up to NFL average or better for the next 3-5 years. Daniels can also play center. 
 

Wouldn’t mind seeing if Vander Esch can produce at MLB either for cheap.

Armstead  is the big one for me. With Brown getting the tag in KC, hes pretty much the only premium option at LT.  There are injury concerns for sure but when hes on that field theres few better. Fact it hurts the Saints is even better. 

At least one of the guards. Doesnt have to be Scherff but one starting guard with BC and Brown battling for the last spot could give us a nasty OL.

Outside of that Leighton Vander Esch could be a solid pick up. Again, injury concerns, but the potential is there and hes young. Id take a flyer here if the money/years are right. 

After that I'd like to see Gilmore back and a guy like Braxton Berrios to bolster the return game. No clue his market or price, but an all pro returner doesn't hit the market very often. A luxury for sure but I'd be intrigued and at least kick the tires.

That’s a great point, I gotta feeling we’re gonna atleast throw Engram an offer. Still suprised by that Ian Thomas deal hopefully it ends up working out.

Any solid OL. If we trade CMC, I wouldn’t be against Fournette either to share the backfield with Chuba. 

Agreed, also Rashad Penny from Seattle. Horrible injury history but end of last season he looked like a franchise RB.

Great input didn’t even know Berrios was a free agent. An all pro returner would be very valuable, especially considering we have an anemic ass offense.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
