Top 5 free agents by position

[Carolina Husker]

I don't see why we don't just sign them all and then see who pans out or is released in the June 3rd cuts.

Definitely. Along with Luck they would be amazing.

I'm not saying there aren't some names on the list I wouldn't love to have on the team, it's just not how we operate.

As a matter of fact, how many teams that are successful year in and year out are major players in FA?

The niners seemed to benefit from signing some vet's in free agency to fill some needs.

Justin Smith

Carlos Rodgers

Donte Whitner

Ted Ginn Jr.

[Sapper]

Eddie Royal would be a solid pickup - he can return punts and could be a decent 3rd receiver.

Besides Aaron Ross (who i want in Washington) and Gonzalez (who i also want in Washington) i want all these guys that i have looked into by Carolina. the perfect guys for me to come to Carolina are Steve Smith or Ted Ginn (one of those two), Rogers or Thomas or Bunkley for DTs and at CB get one of those 4, dont care which and i also think Laron Landry should be in Carolina and Washington should sign Michael Griffin.

Building through the draft is only going to work for top GMs who can draft a full team and are draft geniuses who, when they trade usually are on the better end of the deal (patriots, steelers) this is not how our GM works. Hurney is not as good as he thinks he is and it would be nice to get a solid guy. Rodgers for instance was worth every penny to the 49ers. You can't build an entire team from the draft FAs are a must. When you throw away picks like Jarrett, Brown, Clausen, AE, possibly Otah etc. it's hard to build a complete team.

Hurney needs to swallow some pride and put effort into getting a good FA deal, plenty of other teams are able to do it. Perhaps it has more to do with players wanting to play here and hopefully Cam has changed that.

I really like Garcon. Dude is a baller.

some teams do their best to sign guys at cheap/reasonable contracts and will move onto other options if they feel a players contract demands are unreasonable. doing so allows them to fill out a complete roster with quality players and limited holes

see: pretty much every team in the playoffs

some teams like to massively overpay a few mediocre players and after tieing up their cap space on a handful of guys they are forced to fill the rest of their roster with no-name scrubs for the bare minimum.

see: redskins, raiders, panthers

We've never been free agent crazy. We might have given some players what seems like exuberant contracts but nothing like Oakland or Washington.
