Free Agency/Cuts/Signings Chatter Thread...

The great values on Avril and Bennett are over. Teams saw the impact players like that could make and it is just going to go through the roof.

 

[Simpleton]

So everything is going through the roof and there won't be any value buys?

Got it.

When a guy like Griffen gets that money it is an indicator.

There will be a few, like Willie Young of the Lions. But I don't think accomplished players like Avril/Bennett last like they did last year.

 

[Carp]

Pretty much. Particularly at DE...last year those two signing so cheap was an anomaly.

I can see why he wouldn't be in demand with 3 sacks in his one year starting and 6 in his career.

I'd take him over the crap we have now.

Ayers is a DE I'd look at...not a great pass rusher, but solid run defender.

If we're cutting Ware he'd be better than nothing. Matt Shaughnessy from Arizona is a guy I'd take a look at if he wasn't too pricy.

Israel Idonije is available again and he could be a short term band-aid, he has history with Marinelli.

I would take Young over him.

 

[boozeman]

Good luck with that. The price tag is bad and even worse is his penchant for blaming blocking when he does not produce.

 

[Simpleton]

I would bet that after a week or so of free agency we could get a guy like Corey Peters, Pat Sims or Vance Walker who could play an important role but not break the bank.

It would be a neat trick to get Corey Peters since he signed back with the Falcons.

1 year, 1 million, eh?

I think he could've done better on the open market and apparently he would've fell into that category.

Not with a screwed up Achilles.

Then again, Jerry might have offered him more.

 

[boozeman]

The money Veldheer, Saffold and Albert are going to get is insane.

 

[Clay_Allison]

Who in the hell would pay a casualty like Rodger Saffold? The last time he played a full season was his rookie year.

 

[Smitty]

What's Davin Joseph's deal?
