Humble_Beast Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Who are a few of your guys favorite free agent targets? We can post news on guys signing extension in here as well. Current Needs: - DT - FS - LB ( Morrow set to be UFA) - Nickle? - Joyner might be cut, Amik hasn’t shown anything. - Edge Rusher- pass rushers still needed - RT? Might move on from Trent, be nice to Atleast sign a steady swing tackle. Sam Young washed -LG? Richie might retire? Simpson hasn’t shown much.... - Backup QB - MM too much for a backup QB, could sign a cheap vet for a backup role. I do not trust Peterman at all. Would Be nice to sign Nellie, Booker, and Hankins before the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjon1990 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Sticking to D since I haven't looked hard enough at O: DT- draft a guy, resign Hankins FS- draft pick, Justin Simmons/Marcus Williams/Bring Randall back- any of the 3 LB- Depending on who we hire as DC: Shaq Barrett, Markus Golden, Matt Milano, Derek Rivers, Samson Ebukam Nickel- draft pick, Desmond King, Jason Verrett Going D heavy in the draft is almost guaranteed. Finding an answer for 3 of the 4 needs would be excellent. As for FA signings, focusing on vets on the D-line and in the secondary are priorities. Resign Hankins and really focus on Simmons or Williams and identifying a nickel would be my first choice. Then, depending on cap and scheme, chase down 1 or 2 of the LBs. Maybe resign Morrow. Of the guys listed, if we could land 2 as FAs, our D will have big upgrades. Our blessong and curse, right now, is that there's really nowhere to go but up as far as D talent goes. We can go splash or low key and not go wrong. Edited December 16, 2020 by ronjon1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Leonard Williams if NYG doesn't extend him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This is way premature. Let's wait until we know the DC, system and what FA will actually be available on the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisinBran Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 What do you guys think of Morrow's future? I think that we could easily sign another FA like Littleton, but I'd prefer us to build the defense's missing pieces through the draft.

I think that we could easily sign another FA like Littleton, but I'd prefer us to build the defense's missing pieces through the draft. Draft is always nice, but we have too many holes to rely on it. We need at least 3 if not 5 starters on D, and depth is a huge issue. Guys need to be able to go day one. We're almost at prime Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay status- great offense, but terrible defense. If we don't turn it around fairly quickly, we're gonna have a closing window situation on offense. Carr, Miller, Waller, Jacobs, etc are all going to have contracts up soon. We have a solid nucleus on that side of the ball, but those don't last forever. Relying too heavily on the draft only pushes expectations another year or two down the line. Morrow probably gets resigned, but he's far from a guaranteed starter. Edited December 16, 2020 by ronjon1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him solely as a WLB and I think that is Littleton best role. Littleton is locked in for 2021 due to contract, but I think he mans Morrow spot next year. If Morrow can be brought back for cheap, maybe have him compete for starting WLB slot with CL. If he beats him out, could cut ties with CL by end of next year. CL could bounce back next year, but hasn’t had a good year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldManWillis Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Some early names I'd go after: DT: Resign Hankins, Leonard Williams, Dalvin Tomlinson, Jaleel Johnson FS: Justin Simmons, Anthony Harris, Marcus Maye Guard: Brandon Scherff DE: Matt Judon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after the DC named and the scheme is guessed we will still have enough time to do so, and even then there will be multiple UFA guys resigned or tagged... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Waller, Carr, and Jacobs are all good to go until about 2023. We have 3 more seasons to get the defense on track. Hopefully it happens.

Regardless of who the DC is next season we need to spend big $ on a FS this offseason, preferably Justin Simmons or Anthony Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood people’s ego of having to project their whiny opinion. If you don’t like the post, just skip it. People come on here to talk Raider football.

agarcia34 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Trey Hendrickson will be a FA after this year and dude is a bad ***. The Saints are expected to be 94 million dollars over the cap so not looking good with him staying. He would be priority number 1 for me if they do stay in a 43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
