Nice to see Peterman is finally gone. Lions needed that over paid smuck gone for awhile, and now we can move on to better players.
Wallace will stay in Pittsburgh and we probably wont get anyone too good. Bowe is gonna stay in KC. And Joey, Percy for draft pick is just plain dumb. most people that has commented did not think about the SALARY CAP.
welker do the right thing and sign with the patriots
pats get a wide out if we cant get welker and get one with size
i think bush fits the patriots style of play get him and dont have to worry about woodhead
then if we dont get wallace thers always dewayne bowe
ed reed and steven jackson to if we have enough cap room left money shouldnt be a problem if they want a superbowl
patriots get wallace and then charles woodson and then welker and cromartie then we would be complete on both sides of the ball
seattle seahawks off season list beef up with Wide Receivers: Wes Welker โ NEVictor Cruz โ NYG โ (RFA) Osi Umenyiora โ NYGMichael Bennett โ TB
st louis wants percy harvin
The bengals would be wise to sign jake long and aquib talib draft denard robinson in the third round and mathieu in the fourth. Try to get a veteran safety like chris hope, and take eddie lacy in the second round
Any team that’s looking for a QB with great potential that would come at a lower price should check out Chase Daniel. He’s been backing up Drew Brees and having the chance to learn from one of the best QB’s in the league. Daniel has a lot of talent and a strong arm. I believe he’s overlooked a lot by teams because of his size and the fact that Brees never gets hurt. He is a serious option to consider.
Browns need to sign J. Byrd, M. Wallace and P. Krueger then draft Dee Milliner.
With the room the Colts have in cap space it’s gonna be fun to watch this offseason! I would love for the Colts to get Clady (though i dont see elway letting him get away) and Vollmer to help shore up the O-line but i think they should stay away from Jake Long he’s gonna want too much money and if he was good enough the dolphins would had made sure he was gonna stay to protect their franchise QB but keeping Luck’s jersey clean next year is key being young he could bounce back for getting hit that much but if it continues he’ll be injured alot so I think O-line is no. 1 priorty. I also would like to see Bowe come to Indy we have the money and space to get him as well as a team that’s gonna be good for years to come something KC cannot offer. On the D side i’d love to see Talib and or Sean Smith or M. Jenkins and maybe Kenny Phillips, Jarius Byrid or Ed Reed at saftey, but Couldn’t ask for a better GM then Grigson he knows how to find talent at a good price and has more cap space than all but 1or 2 teams, so between that and the draft i look for the colts to go deep into the playoffs next year as long as he improves the O-Line with the draft or FA. GO COLTS!!!!!!
KC will not get rid of Bowe or Albert ,you will see some money spent on alex smith.
I don’t see them wanting to stay if they don’t get Smith in FA to QB the team every player wants to play for a winner and with out an answer at QB i don’t see it happening for a couple years at the very least. Though I would love to see Bowe suiting up for my Colts next year i think it would be a great fit and we can offer the chance to play for a winner and the Colts could match or exceed any offer the Cheif’s make and he’s an URFA the question is do the Colts want him bad enough!
jake long to chicago on the first day of free agency!
and drop hester pick up ted ginn and i think we should get a new te unless we plan on drafting one
HELL NO, long wants 10 mil a year, for that price you could MAYBE get levitre and a more than decent LT louis is solid and garza has a ffew years left long was rated 1 i repeat 1 spot higher than webb in overall profiecncy for all LTs and thats BAD considering long was the #1 overall pick a few years ago and webb was 7th round pick THANK GOD your not our GM
I really hope the Colts pick up Clady or Long. We need to fix our line for Luck. And maybe pick up Wallace or Talib to help out. We have cap room to do it!
I would love to see Clady suit up for the colts but don’t see elway letting him go i do belive he’s a RFA and Long is gonna demand to much money and if he was worth it the dolphins wouldn’t have given him such a low ball offer i do belive that they have the space to offer him a max contract, but there’s no doubt that this off season’s gonna be fun to watch. Look what Grigson did with hardly any money last year just think what he’s gonna do this year with 46$ million in cap space.
oh yea REDSKINS don’t cut SANTANA MOSS either almost 600 yards & 8 TD’s on the season as a slot receiver is great production for a 30 year old he still has good speed, great hands, & not to mention a nose for the end zone i’m sure he’ll b open to a pay cut & josh wilson can get a pay cut too
REDSKINS bring Laron Landry back home to that strong safety spot, DeAngelo hall already said that he’s open to a pay cut so bring that 7.5 million down & move him over to free safety he doesn’t have shut down corner speed anyway. free safety would b a better fit for his speed plus he’s an aggressive tackler. also i doubt that the GIANTS will bring Osi Umenyoria back & we need to put more pressure on that ball we went after Jason Babbin go after Osi. The price range can’t b to far apart truth is Stephen Bowen isn’t really starter material he’s good but nothing more than a strong 2nd string pay cut. Doug Worthington is just a waste of money cut him. we need constant pressure on the quarterback. Bring Kedrick Gholston, Rob Jackson, Lorenzo Alexander, Sav Rocca, & Nick Sundberg back. in order to repeat thus years success we must keep majority of our strong peices in place & build on those. At tightend we are good i,m almost sure that Fred Davis will return healthy work out a 3 year deal keep cooley & work out a 3 year deal with Logan Paulsen also. This is a hard business but it is a business so convert Niles Paul back to widereceiver in an attempt to keep him on the roster because of his new found success in special teams but make him earn his spot.with our 2nd round draft pick draft a strong right tackle, in the 3rd round draft strong safety Matt Elam Florida Gators, 4th round get this years 4th round steal of the draft for the second straight year Denard Robinson (this guy will add another demension to our offense this kid has lined up at QB,RB,WR,& KR…. to add the wildcat to our read option pistol offense will be really big). 5th round take LSU free safety Tyrann Mathieu i think his year suspension has killed his draft value but none the less he would be a steal helping to revamp our secondary. with our other 5th round pick get a speedy hard hitting cornerback. 6th & 7th round sniff around for some offensive line depth. of course there will be some quality in the undrafted college free agent market & Virginia Tech’s Logan Thomas may be one of those names if it is take him off the market because Kirk Cousins is going to part ways as soon as possible. Do not pursue Brent Grimes go after Aquib Talib & Pacman Jones their cheaper options at the cornerback position & both are under rated & let’s not forget that we still have Chase Minnifield & i think he’s gonna make a big impact here
It’s hard to see the skins being able to land any big name Free Agents with 3.5million in cap space they could and should trade Cousin’s this offseason he was impressive when he filled n for rg3 so i wouldnt imagine his stock getting any higher than it is right now unless the front office is worried bout rg3’s knee, i read that they dont wanna push him to get back too soon and risk re-injuring his knee but in trading Cousins they could get a draft pick or two back they traded away for rg3 but no 1st rounders maybe a 3rd and 5th
The vikings need to worry about a quarterback before they start worrying about all these weapons around him. That fluke game he had against Green Bay was exactly that. The best thing that could have happened to Ponder was for him not the play again the week after because the old Ponder would have emerged. Have you seen the schedule for the Vikequeens next year, Ponder will be in big trouble!!!
That’s kind of what ‘they’ said about the Vikings schedule in 2012. Dufus.
we need to put our heads together and try and work a trade with Harvin & Smith
Still missing some. Kirk Morrison, LB with the Bills. Was UFA, resigned with team on the 20th, unless we are removing the name after they sign? Don Carey and Ashlee Palmer have resigned with the Lions.
To your credit, I just looked at mainly Bills and Lions, and PFF does not have Dorin Dickerson listed, you do here. Nice list.
Thanks for letting us know about the missing players and we really appreciate the positive comment.
Just sign free agents Chris Ivory, Jake Long and Jairus Byrd. Then go after defensive ends, safeties, linebackers and corners in the draft. Who needs Cliff Avril back after that poor performance this season. Might as well play with 10 guys.
Chris ivory is a restricted
fa the saints are more prone to cut pierre thomas and keep ivory
Or trade Mark Ingram…….
I hope the packers let Jennings go and go after bowe, freeney, or Jake long. Preferably long, but I don’t see Thompson doing anything exciting in FA.
please let the Vikes sign Amendola, Edelman, and Wallace then go get Delmas and Rodgers cromartie and trade Percy for a draft pick. It would make the Vikings a power house offense.
the rams arent giving up amendola, else I will be a very angry st. louis fan.
Cant be that mad after watching Tavon tho.
Yeah I don’t see St. Louis parting with Amendola or NE parting with Edelman. Both are injury prone, but have way too much upside considering their current price tags. Might have a shot at grabbing Wallace. I don’t think Pit will be able to keep him.
percy to seattle for matt flynn
trade
that will never happen and trading percy for a draft pick is just stupid!
Swiiiiing and a miss!
i need a qb wr and one more pass rush and the NY jets will be ok sanchez sucks so bad ughh cant stand him we need joe flacco never going to happen but u never no
You HAD the perfect QB for a good price and traded him away to get Tebow! Drew Stanton is the best QB in the FA pool unless you threw big money at Flacko, who isn’t worth what he’ll get paid. Matt Moore in Miami is a winner too.
Please resign Louis Delmas, Cliff Avril, Joique Bell, and add new free-agents: Dwyane Bowe, Danny Amendola, Ray Maualuga, Dominque-Rodgers Cromartie in an attempt to revamp and bolster the Detroit Lions…..guarantee we’ll win the NFC North, that’s just what Stafford needs is a few other receivers to take away the pressure from Megatron
That’s funny, because I was just looking at this list for the same
reason. (What our Lions can do.) We don’t have the cap space to get
Bowe. As much as I’d like to see a “top flight” receiver opposite
Megatron, I have some faith in our current corp. I think we’d be better
served to get someone like Ted Ginn (even though he’s a buckeye)
because he can help in the return game.
I agree that we need to
re-sign Bell and Delmas, but not Avril. We can get as much performance
from a high draft pick (2nd or 3rd round) for a LOT less money than he’s
going to command.
The big question is…. what do we do with
the 5th pick? CB, DB, or LB? If the right corner is there, that would
seem to be the way to go, but a better pass rush can make a secondary a
lot better too, and someone who’s an emotional leader and sideline to
sideline player is desperately needed as well. Like…Teo. It wouldn’t
break my heart if the Lions took him.
Lions need another redzone threat at WR. We’ve already got Broyles and Burleson to run the slot. I feel Plaxico could take pressure off of Megatron and we could sign him CHEAP!! Mayhew needs to be smarter on who to spend money on. They are in cap situation where they can’t waste money. They need to retain the only part of their secondary that is good and can stay healthy in Houston. If we can sign Delmas to a 1 or 2 year deal, we should. He needs to prove he can stay healthy. They need to let Avril go. He’s nowhere near worth what he’s asking for. Tracy Porter and Marcus Trufant are a couple corners I would look at in FA. Whichever OLB asks for more money we should let go and look at Brad Jones (GB) or Philip Wheeler (OAK). I think we can resign Lawrence Jackson and Willie Young at a reasonable price, but they’re both situational DE’s so we’ll still need to draft a DE. I’m hoping they take Ezekial Ansah in the first whether they can trade back or not. He can rush the passer and has the size to make an impact in the run game. Plus he’ll wreak the benefits of double teams on Suh and/or Fairley on the inside so he won’t have to worry about any of that. He’s only played football for 3 years and has already learned quite a bit it seems, plus he has no injury history!!! I’m tired of drafting players who can’t stay healthy. Other than Ansah, I’d like to see them draft Matt Elam or Eric Reid in the second, Travis Frederick in the third, and maybe Robert Woods and Kenjon Barner in the later rounds. At the end of the day, if they’ve got money to drop, I wouldn’t mind Mayhew bringing Andy Levitre or Louis Vasquez to Detroit.
With almost no cap space a big splash is a pipe dream! Restructure Stafford, Suh, let Avril walk for some cap space.
Resign Houston, Delmas, Bell, Jackson, Levy, let Palmer or Whitehead take the other LB spot. Look at guys like Amendola, Edleman, Felix Jones and Jammer . Draft DE Bjorn-FSU and S Reid-LSU and get back to the playoffs!!!
The lions are in negative cap space atm.
To bad are cap number is two hi. That’s what multiple years of early first round picks will get you. I’m quit interested to see how they field a team. I’m sorry to say but I think were in for another shit year. Unless we hit multiple home runs in the later rounds of the draft. Like the pat’s and Steelers do most years.
Todd, great point about the Lions and how their first-round picks have impacted their current cap situation. Moving forward, it won’t be a big deal to be drafting in the Top 5 annually, but the fact that the Lions Top 5 draft picks came before the CBA forced them to hand out huge contracts at market value, which has had a large impact on their financial situation.
Hopefully they can find some impact talent in this year’s draft as you mentioned.
The Lions have good receivers they just happened to lose the 2,3,4 guys to injury/suspension. Did you watch your team last year? Work on that overrated defense. Maybe a new coach.
All I want for Christmas is Jarius Byrd Back and Brian Urlacher
i could c bears drafting teo and letting urlacher go which would b sad but i can c ut happening
Please let me pray…just need take Dwyane Bowe or Kevin Ogletree and Antonio Cason for Carolina Panthers free agent.
Ogletree will come free my man! U can get him cheap, like 1 milllion per year! Dallas needs Melton. Byrd. Guard from Buffalo Levitre or Waters from NE. and one of the tackles.. Long, Klady, Bushrod, Loadholt, or whomever. Cut or trade JRatt, Free, Austin. Bet Freeney would play cheap in BIG D!
Thanks for drawing attention to our F.A. list. I just finished completely overhauling the entire to include every free agent. It’s the most up-to-date list on the Internet. Hope this helps.
