ideas for Defensive FA signings

[jptaylor84]

This is Not!! I repeat Not another Greg hardy thread so please continue to read.

We all know defensively were pretty well set but not so at corner and safety, with Mitchell coming back and (I assume that's going to happen) we need another safety and atleast one possibly two (depending on price) starting corners, possibly a DT also if we can because Colin Cole coming back is highly unlikely and the four man rotation helped our d-line big time last year.

The only mention il give to hardy is the list does contain free agent DEs so pick a replacement if you like, this is a good indicator as base salary and cap hits are included, so we can pretty much justify a price and likelihood rather than to just throw a players name in the pot and thinking all madden!, Jared Allen and Michael Bennett I've heard on here aswel as Talib and other big names but that's not going to happen there to expensive at this stage of there career and we do not have the cap space.

My ideas below. Obviously not all of them maybe one per need, per position.

Corner: Sam Shields, Alteraun Verner, EJ Biggers, Vontae Davis.

Safety's: TJ Ward, Quintin Demps, Malcolm Jenkins, Major Wright.

DT: Clinton McDonald, Brandon Deadrick, Cam Thomas.

DE: Justin Tuck, Lamarr Houston.

All these guys are salary friendly and are affordable even with our cap problems, and would upgrade the secondary tenfold! Have a look guys and maybe you have other suggestions or names to add, I will try to do an offense thread also.

JP Julius Sack Daddy Pep.

Packers fans hate Shields.

I'm not sure I understand the first sentence, but we haven't signed Mitchell yet.

A bit out of our price range.  

 

Btw, what's Kenny Phillips up to these days?

[davos]

I wouldn't call Alteraun Verner or Ward affordable.  

 

Also, I mentioned in another thread, Mitchell is by no means a given coming back especially if we come to terms with Hardy.  For how much he may want (which could be over 4 mill / year), he could be replaceable.  But I'm just spitballin' and am in most cases wrong :)

I believe the premise is that we resign Mitchell.  Hardy likely gone.  Not far fetched. 

 

Nice conjecture.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie?

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie?

Yeah what about him?  I highly doubt he settles for another 1 year deal again.

This defense and this team has to look appealing to a free agent DB.  The #2 Defense in the league and who is under contract right now?

 

SS: Lester

FS:

CB:Wjote. Thomas, Norman

 

This team has a legit shot to go to the super bowl.  If I were a DB, I would want to go where the front 7 gets it done.

The way I see our secondary playing out is Mitchell at FS, Lester/Mikell at SS, White and a draft pick or possibly a free agent (but not a big name one). We may go out and find our Mitchell at the CB position.
