Rather than compare it to the rest of the league I like to think of it in terms of what the contracts are going to look like at the positions we need.
For example, Ryan Fitzpatrick is a free agent. He ran a similar system to us in Buffalo and would seem a decent fit at backup QB if he is willing to take on such a role. There are quite a few WC quarterbacks as well. We could make offers to all of them easily but I don't see the WC guys as fits. ~$5m AAV, might be rich but I bet it gets it done for most of the guys on the list.
There are a ton of secondary players on the market. A lot of these UFA aren't ancient now that top 100 picks all get 4 year deals. You can go to sportrac and sort them and look. Now there are some big names on the market. Weddle could get franchised at 30. Berry, Amukamura, and Hall are all likely tenders but at the end of the day there are a ton of guys with expiring contracts for the secondary. Norman, Toler, Johnson, Robinson, Boykins, Jenkins, Sensabaugh, Nelson, Harper. Just an uncanny number of former top 100 picks. They all can't suck and end up tendered.
There is no doubt that we can get that player in the secondary Risen is so worried about us getting.
Looking at the defensive tackles I immediately covet Tennessee's multiple FA. Ngata on a 2 year deal would make me a happy man. Tender caveats apply of course and the depth is not very good here. These guys cost a lot. IF you go here your eating up all your cash quickly.
On to RB. Matt Forte's contract is up and the Bears have Alshon coming up too. He is likely to hit the market at age 29. Stealing 26 year old Alfred Morris from the Commanders would be absolutely delicious but I don't see anyone else they might franchise. After that it looks like a fair amount of guys at about Turbins level of experience and paygrade.
LB has a lot of age up top and a lot of guys at about McClain's level. We are likely to only tread water here in FA.
WR has a lot of obvious names. Crabtree, Holmes, Jeffrey, and Harvin. Is Austin or Benjamin better than Street? I think so. We should be able to upgrade the barren WR corps. This is a huge underrated need.
TLDR: Plenty of talented secondary and WR, DT is top heavy, RB might have Forte and Morris available with midgrade depth, QB and especially LB picking slim. Overall lots of talented 24-27 year olds on the market at some positions. Could be a bonanza.
