Let's look at the remaining D line and CB free agents

[tm1119]

We can all agree these are the critical positions to address in free agency. These are the remaining viable candidates that I see(in no particular order). Basically...how do you feel about it? Personally, I'm pretty optimistic. No doubt we need to get busy fairly soon, but I see the opportunity to add several good players still in their primes.

Chris Long
Derrick Shelby

[Sydla]

I'd rather have Hall than someone like Carroll.

 

[RandyOh]

hmmm wonder if we can walk away with Robert Ayers, Ced Thornton and Casey Hayward just by sitting back and letting everyone else spend big right away.

 

[davey999]

Ayers in TB.

 

[Alexander]

This is kind of like that exercise we do every April after the first three rounds are over.

We get all excited. We prepare lists.

Then we get socked in the gut with Matt Johnson or something.

Shelby , Long , Howard , Thornton , Powers are the ones I would target.

 

[Daillest88]

Jaye Howard!

 

[Aven8]

Give me Ayers, Coples, Fairley, and Weddle and I would feel a little better actually.

 

[davey999]

Howard back to KC.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Jaye Howard!

I would offer him 5/6 million a year. He's an immediate starter and got 5.5 sacks in a 3-4. Put him in a 4-3 and he's a Kawaan Short type player.

 

[phildadon86]

Really like that list, sign me up. We also really liked Fairley out of college so maybe we bring him in for cheap

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Howard back to KC.

 

[StylisticS]

None of those DB's excite me.

 

[Carson]

+1. You are exactly correct.

Rally the wagons for Matt Moore and Morris Claiborne!

 

[dagreat1_87]

Shelby just went to the falcons. Still some good options

 

[Daillest88]

Howard 2 years 12 million dollars. Wow great signing

 

[Alexander]

Adrian. Clayborn.

At this rate, he gets a ticker tape parade.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

Give me Ayers, Coples, Fairley, and Weddle and I would feel a little better actually.

I agree, we would at least be a slight upgrade or about the same we are now with those guys. Not sure if the numbers for those guys would fit in our budget to make it happen though.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Howard 2 years 12 million dollars. Wow great signing

I would've gone for it .

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Adrian. Clayborn.

At this rate, he gets a ticker tape parade.

Rather have Chris long probably has a higher ceiling if healthy. But at this point I guess one of the two is the best we are going to do this free agency period. Bosa looking better each hour.
