Free Agency- Possible Targets


ARTMONK HOF

Recommended Posts

Martin is a fine signing. It’s just really unfortunate that we had to have an injury at the one position on the team where the only backup also happens to be a starter at another position. 

It’s good to know that they are familiar with the concept of signing veteran FAs with starting experience elsewhere for depth roles. When they were fiddling around with a guy like Donovan Jeter — who might be a fine development prospect but probably is not a cat you want to just hand 18 snaps right out of the box — I started getting concerned that they really were absolutely tapped out for any kind of “more than league minimum” funds.

Is there still any solid true middle linebackers out there? I know it might be too late, but damn. Jamin and Holcomb are clearly better suited to play outside linebacker. 

I know people will hate this but, they could play Bostic at MLB on run downs & pull him off on 2nd/3rd & long and then go nickel. Bostic is at least a run stuffer.

Other than that, they could sign AJ Johnson, but he doesn’t know the D at all.

Not really Free Agent related, but after we lose to the Bears this Thursday, they really need to trade for Roquan Smith. He asked out, they didn't give him the contract he wants. He is better than our entire LB room combined. The smart move would be to add him to our woeful defense.

That’s a waste of a draft pick & will hurt our draft position. This year is cooked. Wait until he’s a free agent next year to try to sign him. There’s no saving this season & id hate to lose possibly a top 5 pick.

Roquan will not net a 1st round pick. Dont be silly. Also no one is choosing to come to this trainwreck of a franchise.

Ridgeway was a good pick up he’s also a rookie this year that was drafted 5th round . Been hard on the FO but that was a very good move he flat that fumble in the eagles game and has helped the run game improve .

He definitely was a good signing that we made after Mathis went down & he looks like a keeper as a back up NT. He doesn’t offer really anything as far as pass rush goes but he’s 320 pounds and is stout vs the run. Hopefully next year Phil Mathis comes back & has a solid year as our 3rd DT playing behind Allen & Payne while Ridgeway gets sprinkled in some as our 4th DT.
