Free agent signings

[waldoputty]

3 premium FA for $15 million each per year for 5 years with $25 million bonus - 1st year cap hit is $6M each
We can easily open up $30M or more - so no problem.

1. JPP or Melvin Ingram for DE
2. Trumaine Johnson or AJ Bouye CB (and Wilcox S)
3. Kwann Short or Poe DTs

If no JPP or Melvin Ingram then replace with Desean Jackson or Terrelle Pryor WR - would save $ here
If no Trumaine Johnson or AJ Bouye, then Eric Berry S and Clairborne instead
Chandler Jones probably not available and not sure about Sheard for DE

Dont resign Leary - Keep Cooper if he is decent as backup

Year 1 bill
RDE - $6M
CB1 - $6M
DT - $6M
S - $2.5M
WR2 - TWill for $3M
Backup G - $2.5M
Total for key signees - $26M

Also look into RT and cut Free (June 1 if allowable) - perhaps Whitworth

While we are at it, cut TCrawford (June 1) also - waste of $

He for sure at least needs to take a pay cut!

 

[coult44]

Berry is my dream signing...

 

[waldoputty]

Yep
Cut Free or even trade him
TCrawford takes pay cut or June 1 him.

BTW, before people think this is too much to spend of free agency.
Giants spent $200M in 2016 for 3 premium FAs to fix their defense.
This plan costs $225 Million for 3 premium FAs (inflation).

 

[JoeyBoy718]

I like Kawaan Short. Pair him up with Collins.

 

[stilltheguru88]

What leverage do the cowboys have on Crawford for him to do that? I'm asking honestly.

Any talk of potential free agent signings needs taken with a grain of salt. More than likely all the big names will resign with their original teams. Guys like Eric Berry for example simply aren't going anywhere.

yea and JPP I just cant see NYG lettin go........Desean Jackson goin back to Philthy seems to be common knowledge already also.....

Did you think Josh Norman would make it to FA?

That is why i suggested 2 or 3 options each at DT, DE and CB/S.
And then FAs at other positions if those are not available.
Ideally we fix the D via proven FA.

If we cannot fix the D via FA, then get FAs in O to eliminate all remaining weakness in the O.
That means a #1 WR for WR2 and a RT who is not a liability, while spending all draft resources on the D.
If FA takes care of RT/WR2, then we could spend every pick on the DL minus 1 for SS.
With 7 players, hopefully a couple are keepers.

if he does not take a cut, he should be cut june 1.
then he will make much less since teams would have spent their money before that.
though with the rising cap, i could be wrong.

but then simply cut him june 1 and get rid of the underperforming garbage

Go after 7 players, be happy to get 2.
Also do they want to win a superbowl?

If we dont try, we dont get.
Be aggressive and go after all 7.
Take whoever agrees first.

1 premier FA is a slight maybe anything more than that and ur asking for trouble. Giants struck gold with their FA moves which doesn't happen very often.

What leverage did they have on carr?

This is our window.
People think Dak will be good for 12 years, and that may be true.
Injuries happen, and we could be sorry for being complacent.

We have the cap flexibility with the escalating cap.
The team is ready, so lets not waste the window.

Sheard is just more of what we already have IMO.

Im all for Ingram and play him as a Leo, SSLB on run downs and edge rusher on passing downs

 

[Shinaoi]

Dontari Poe would really help.
