Free Agent pick ups

with so much cap space anyone can be realistic

 

I'm hoping for:

Byron Maxwell

Orlando Franklin

Julius Thomas/Charles Clay

Matt Moore/Fitzpatrick (if cut) to compete with Geno

Rahim Moore

Sam Acho
————————————————————
Some other names, but long shots:

Doug Free (he could be a solid stop gap while we develop a RT)

CJ Spiller

Ahmad Brooks (if cut)

 

Give me Iupati or Franklin, and some good/decent players in the secondary. That's honestly all I want, and maybe Randall Cobb(if we let Percy walk).

 

Julius Thomas is really overrated IMO - but I would love to grab Charles Clay. He's that TE / FB hybrid that can create mismatches. Def Iupati, maybe you try and pry Devin McCourty from the Pats. CJ Spiller is on that list.

 

Demaryius Thomas is a pipe dream not even worth mentioning. Randall Cobb has a much better chance of hitting the open market..we'll see if we're players in anyway for him..I would cut Percy to sign Cobb in a heartbeat. We'd get the younger more durable player, save a 4th rounder, all while upgrading our WRs.
He shouldn't cost much more than the 10.5 mil per year Harvin is supposed to make. There'd have to be a ton of guaranteed money but someone's making a run at him, why not us?

If we do go Bronco hunting I love the idea of getting Orlando Franklin. Should come cheaper than Iupati and can play RT or Guard. If we draft a serviceable lineman on top of signing Franklin our O-Line would be much upgraded.

 

Exactly. Let Pryor play down in the box more often while Moore patrols center field.

 

McCourty would be an excellent sign no doubt, but NE can just tag him if talks go south.

 

I've wanted Maxwell but the Hawks have a ton of cap space too and probably won't let him walk.

 

had Rahim Moore in my mock..

cromartie, austin davis, worilds, iupati & a percy/ D'brick restructure

 

A CB, RB (cut CJ No K) LBs and Maybe a big time WR, assuming we can't get Cooper at 6. And maybe Matty Moore or Bradford(if released/cut) or a vet QB to compete with Simms, and maybe a draftee... and Geno.....

 

You have to remember that Russell Wilson needs an extension and thats speculated to be about $20 million annually, Jermaine Kearse could be in line for a nice raise, Russell Okung is a FA in 2016, and Bobby Wagner will need an extension as well. Also, don't forget that right behind Byron is Tharold Simon who's shown he's certainly no slouch.

 

give me some guards and dbs the rest we can fill in the raft

 

I think Harvin is a better player than Randall Cobb but I agree. I'd take Cobb over him simply due to durability

 

This.

 

I agree. Not saying I don't want Cobb but I would rather pay less for Harvin than pay more for Cobb. Both of them are QB-dependent IMO.

 

Why is everyone so hyped on an aging Cromartie? I get that he played for Bowles in AZ, but dude still got beat a bunch. Give me Maxwell over Cro.
