MacReady Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Burnett, Adams, Evans, House, Goode, Linsley, Janis, Patrick, McCray. Only ones I want back. Why is Schum on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinneasGage Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Just re-sign Davante Bring back Patrick & McCray too. Maybe Burnett. Rest can walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Of the UFA, I see some players that should be retained for a variety of reasons 1. Davante Adams -- 24 year old WR that is emerging as a #1WR in a pass first offense. I view Adams as a must sign to keep the WR position from being a dire need in 2019 with the expiring contracts of Nelson and Cobb. Something in the $11-12.5M range is good with me. 2. Corey Linsley -- 26 year old OC that has been steady. His play dropped off as the caliber of players next to him dropped due to departures of all-pro level OG. Just do not want to go into 2018 having to break in a new OC. Do not see a replacement on the roster currently. $3-4M per year would be good by me. The next group is less of a priority, but hard to pass on depending the $$ 1. Jahri Evans -- 34 year old OG. Played well and would be a nice veteran presence next to a likely raw RT (Spriggs, Murphy or McCray). If the staff felt that their was a young option that can give you equal performance for cheaper, then I am good with that and would move on from Evans. Something similar to his 2017 salary in the $2-3M range would be good, especially with minimal guarantees so if he is beat out in TC, the dead cap is minimal 2. Davon House -- 28 year old CB. If you can get a better CB in the FA process, I am all for it. I just do not see GB spending big $$ on the position and feel that House could be brought back at a reasonable deal similar to his 2017 value, around $3M per would be fine 3. Morgan Burnett-- 28 year old SS that seems to be the glue of the secondary. Just not sure he is on the upside of his career and has dealt with a fair number injuries. The drafting of Josh Jones in 2017 might make Burnett expendable. A short deal around $6-7M per would lead me to keep Burnett 4. Jeff Janis -- 26 year old WR/ST gunner. Hard to pay for what appears to be an exclusive ST gunner type player, but Janis is a pro bowl caliber gunner and ST player. He should come relatively cheap in the $2-3M range per year. 5. Richard Rodgers -- 25 year old TE. Just does not offer much in terms of threatening the Defense in many aspects....but the cupboard is pretty bare at TE going into 2018, so a short cheap deal in the $1-2M range would be fine.

squire12 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Forgot about the LS 6. Brett Goode -- 33 year old LS. No reason to not bring him back for the similar 2017 salary, $1M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Holy mother of ERFAs, is that some kind of record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 We really should keep all of the ERFAs that played even a little bit. They are young, cheap, and know the atmosphere. IMO priority is: 1. Adams 2. Linsley 3. McCray 4. Janis 5. DickRod Burnett, Brooks, Evans, House, and Thomas for the right amount of money. Probably bring back Dial, Whitehead, Pankey, Patrick, Gilbert, and Byrd for pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I wouldn't resign Janis. His ST value is nice, at rookie contract numbers, but even then it's iffy wether or not it's worth keeping a WR who can't play WR. If he as a good return guy too, maybe, but not just for coverage, and 2-3 mil per year is ridiculous. Max more like Brett Goode, 1 per. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibrett15 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm on board with keeping Burnett. We have a lot of money to throw around, and burnett is a better use of funds than Cobb or Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jleisher Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 #1. Adams #2. Linsley (I think his play didn't drop off this year.) #3. Evans (Your going to need a RG, his play was good.) #4. Burnett #5. House #6. McCray #7. Goode (Stable and cheap) #8. Rodgers #9. Allison #10. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he's expendable w/ Brice and Jones on the roster, however. Maybe we break the bank and go after Joyner in LA instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we break the bank and go after Joyner in LA instead I don't believe either of them are quite there yet and Brice has missed a lot of time due to various injuries. My two cents is that GB should re-sign Burnett as the glue guy, but then I realized it might be a whole new defense. And that may change Burnett's value going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that may change Burnett's value going forward eh, the guy can play in the box, at the nickel spot, and as a dime backer. He has value in any defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 #1 and #2 priorities off the list. Adams looks like a good deal. Linsley was certainly steeper than I would have liked by a good margin. Of the UFA, I see some players that should be retained for a variety of reasons 1. Davante Adams -- 24 year old WR that is emerging as a #1WR in a pass first offense.
