Free agents we should look to acquire

Mike Jenkins- 5-10 195 lbs- this former first rounder is 28 and still looking for a home in the nfl. Because he got caught in the cowboys secondary he doesn't have the stats but we could acquire him on a cheap one year deal. I know we have got a lot of CBs in free agency but they are all one year deals and easy to wipe off the books if we find a better option.

Alan branch- DT 6-6 325 lbs 28 yrs old- this big run stuffer is someone I have been excited about since the beginnin of the off season. He could be the guy we need beside dwan to have the best d line in the nfl.

Corey Williams 6-4 320 lbs 32 yrs old- a veteran guy who we could get for a year and help stop the run. With a big run stuffer an a healthy LB corp we could have one of the best run defenses in the nfl.

These are three guys who fill a need and could be cheap this late in free agency.

Branch and Jenkins are too that I think would really help us. Branch/Edwards wouldn't be bad, and Jenkins could push to start. Right now, we're really lacking cap room, and I think they're waiting to see who we get in the draft. If we draft Star in the 1st round,Branch would be wasted money and we could pick up Jenkins, and vice versa.

Alan Branch would be a great addition. Not liking DT in the 1st right now.

I loved this DTs class in the beginning. Starting to bite my tongue. Not sure if I want any guys after Star and Floyd. Sheldon is next best prospect after those two, but he's an UT.

I want to go with a big vet body in Alan or Pouha into the season.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
