Yeah. I didn't mean to state that was all the Free Agents they had coming up (which was an argument for cutting Sitton), but rather to highlight that LTs can be expensive, and they locked theirs down for four years. So one upcoming free agent, but potentially an expensive one.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
Good Points, red. It will be interesting to read what Ted's big supporters have to say on the topic.
At very least, (I think it's not to late as I understand the cap) they should restructure a contract or two to make that $9.5 million count this year instead of the future.

FA OLBs for a 3-4: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...3-4-olb-market
1. Melvin Ingram
2. Chandler Jones
3. Nick Perry
4. James Harrison
5. DeMarcus Ware
6. Lorenzo Alexander
7. John Simon
8. Julius Peppers
9. Datone Jones
10. Jarvis JonesDoug's Quick Take: Jones is an interesting player. Projected as an interior pass-rusher because of his size (6'4", 285 pounds), he only came alive in the NFL when he was moved outside as a giant edge-rusher in Dom Capers' multiple fronts. A good run-stopper on the inside and a consistent (if not entirely dominant) pass-rusher on the outside, Jones has the kind of gap versatility prized in today's NFL, and he'll get a lot of looks from teams that run 3-4 base fronts with hybrid sub-packages.
Potential Suitors: Green Bay Packers, Oakland Raiders, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Dallas Cowboys
11. Erik Walden
12. Trent Cole
13. Jayrone Elliott
14. Alex OkaforDoug's Quick Take: Grabbing three sacks in just 176 snaps in the 2015 season did a lot for Elliott's profile, but he wasn't able to capitalize on it last year. His best bet to get more reps is the possibility that both Nick Perry and Julius Peppers leave Green Bay in free agency, but Elliott will have to match any availability with his own development.
Potential Suitors: Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Pittsburgh Steelers
15. Sam Acho
16. Akeem Ayers
17. Corey Lemonier
18. Dekoda Watson
19. David Bass
20. Tourek Williams
21. Lerentee McCray
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Seems like a lot of has beens and never weres on that list. If that's Datone Jones the guy is talking about, not Chandler, it seems like he's over-selling the product by a lot.
I find it surprising that Jayrone Elliot - who I have always really liked - is ranked so high. I didn't think he was that highly thought of by other people. I always figured he could be signed for so much less than Nick Perry that he was the better choice of the two. I said before and I'll say again - about Julius Peppers, if he is dead set on retiring, so be it. But if he is willing to come back for a reasonable amount, I really hope it's with the Packers.

jets are trying to trade Sheldon Richardson, could be had for maybe a 2nd or 3rd rounder

edit: jets are asking for a third
uh-oh.

If Duvernay-Tardif is worth $8 million a year, then Zeitler, Warford and Lang are getting $10-12 a year each. Osemele got $11.7 last year.

sooo, we're probably gonna lose both lang AND tretter
You're also talking about a 26-year-old who should just be entering the prime of his career. Not a 31 year old who broke his foot twice and had hip surgery.

Lang: There has been a little bit of contact (w/ the #Packers)…. (Agent) definitely has plans to sit down with Green Bay. #Packers

Despite the Colts' attempts to sign him over the past week, Colts TE Jack Doyle has plans to test free-agent market, per source.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Lang says he's gonna see what kind of offers he gets on the open market, then see if Green Bay wants to match
How much could we get chris johnson (Arizona backup rb) for? He can't be a workhorse but between him, lacy and Montgomery that could be a heck of a good backfield
Oh, never mind he turns 32.....pass

Guys been saying he thinks he can still make plays for about 6 years now
Plus he likes to blame everyone but himself for sucking
They have too much time on their hands department. Nagler and Cohen would like you to believe that Mike McCarthy's praise of TJ Lang and Eddie Lacy is "pressuring" the front office. Lang has been in line for a lot of praise by McCarthy since Sitton started making the Pro Bowl, but I am not sure this even qualifies.

^ He must have been more forthcoming in the small group interview after his PC (unless I just flat out missed it):

Re-reading McCarthy transcript. Called Lang "as fine an offensive lineman as I’ve had an opportunity to coach in 20+ years in this league."
Still don't read that a pressuring Ted.
