some may not be expecting. While we all hope we look at OL, DL, and LB depth in FA, I think there are two spots that we will look to address is FA that won't cost a mint.
1. Blocking TE - We wanted Davis of the Bears last year, but we couldn't pry him away. While we could always use an OT in specific formations, I think Garrett still wants his blocking TE to help in the running game, short yardage, etc. Again, this is a position that may not get everyone excited in FA, but I think Garrett will continue to search for a blocking TE.
2. Third WR - Jacksonville payed way too much for Robinson, and we decided to go give Ogletree another go. I think that the staff will look for a better yet cheap 3rd wideout candidate to replace Ogletree in FA. Again, I'm not talking about a big contract. But rather a player who is under the radar, perhaps on the injury mend. A guy who our pro personnel department thinks can still contribute in the right environment.
I think these were two specific positions that Garrett was unable to really address the way he wanted to last free agency. I think there's a reasonable chance he takes another stab at it this FA (besides looking for upgrades at the obvious positions).
