Now we get to use a pick on a position we could have just resigned. I mean, he’s a free agent. Unless they wanted to tag him, which may or may not have been a whole other problem, he has the ability to choose to go elsewhere. I think we all want to keep him, but I can’t blame any FO for being hesitant about locking up a second DE who is a “good” (not great) player to a huge long term deal. Especially when they’re 29 and havent played 16 games in a season once and it was 5 years ago. Like Zel said, we need a longer term solution that isn’t 15-20 million a year.

Kiwibrown Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) I'd like us to look at Olivier Vernon in free agency and I'd like is to bring him back for 6-7 million if he tests well Edited March 10, 2022 by Kiwibrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we needed an EDGE aside from Clowney, but now we need an EDGE replacement AND a 3rd rusher with Takk gone to boot. Our WR were dead last in the NFL in pass receptions last year, and that's not all on scheme. That whole room needs revamped, and we could still use a true MIKE LB and a true FS. Hopefully FA fills some of these voids, but it's tough losing good players. Might not be as hard as we all think, there are many angles we can take and have a great front for not a lot of resources Draft: Travon Walker, Trade up for Thibodeaux if he drops, Jermaine Johnson or Karlaftis, or even use a late round flyer on Adam Anderson Free Agent:Za'Darius Smith,Emmanuel Ogbah, Charles Harris,Arden Key, Kemoko Turay, Dorance Armstrong, Trade: K'Lavon Chaisson, Yetur Gross-Matos, Boogie Basham, AJ Epenesa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We can’t sit on our hands. We have some needs. I think we are going to have a difficult time convincing a helpful receiver to sign with us so we may need to trade for one. If we can’t bring Clowney back we are going to need to at least do something in free agency at the position also. We can’t just fill losses through the draft we need to upgrade.

Regardless, I don't think that a free agent signing prevents us from drafting a WR, DT, or DE in Round 1. I think all of those are on the table, with DT being the least likely R1 per our FO's philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwibrown Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Defense- Good at db Linebackers- we have JOK and Taki is ok situationally, so we need two guys Defensive line 1-2 starters at DT and maybe a back up Defensive end, ideally we get 3 guys, a starter and two back ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not R1-2, but I’m not passing up a nice tackle prospect R3 or later. Conklin is expensive and injury prone, Wills has yet to really prove anything, Hubbard is prolly gone, Hudson looks like a G, and Hance looks like a 5th string OT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
