2019 Free Agency Thread

Yeah, I've heard that... I'd move up to get him.

If we can't move up, back up plan would be Polite.

I know they won't address LB in FA, so Polite fills a huge hole. Fackrell and Matthew's both need to be replaced, but I'm not sure the Packers see that.

Wist, coming in to last season I was as low on Fackrell as anyone, but he showed enough to make me think he isn't the waste of space you keep describing. Guys do make jumps along the way and he showed something last year. I'm cautious and not ready to proclaim him the next Kevin Greene yet, but there is some reason to believe he could be a solid #2 starter in this league.

Any one mention Adam Humpries as an upgrade over Cobb? Likely be cheaper and lots of upside considering he produced in the tampa scheme.

I own him in a dynasty league. He is an improving player. With Rodgers he could be a 90 catch 1000 yard guy. He won't be better than that, but give him 3 years while the youngsters develop and I think it would be a good signing (at the right price of course).

Quick, smart smallish caucasian slot receiver. How does this guy not end up a Patriot at some point?

One of the differences between Pettine and Capers is that Pettine, when he wants to be heavy in nickel, moves to a 3-3, just as wist asked for.

Until injuries took over, that was Clark, Daniels and Wilkerson. If anyone has snap numbers by formation, I would love to know how often they were in that.

When they draft front-seven with their first three picks, and any of them are named White or Polite, we'll know where Wist is employed.

BINGO

He prolly catches 100 and is Edelman like with HGJr

I'd LOVE to see Golden Tate or Adam da Hump

It'd be idiotic to bring Cobb back at that salary

Nah, Fackrell's ceiling is avg-below avg... he needs to be replaced.

I have better movement skills than he does, and I'm fixin to go under the for my 2nd hip replacement.

[wist43]

In general, I think we can make do with our DL... forever I've wanted the Packers to invest in LBs, and forever the Packers have been spinning their wheels.

Whether it's a 3-4, 2-4, or a 3-3 the strength of those alignments had better be your LBing corp... the Packers don't see that.

[pbmax]

I want pass rush. But I am not for an ILB ahead of safeties. Run all you want, Packers will outscore you. If they find a Buchanon who can play inside and cover, then OK. But good luck with that.

Pass D was still worse last year than Run D and that was with the d line shedding bodies monthly.

Its all over.

The #Eagles have locked up a huge free agent before it begins: They agreed to terms with DE Brandon Graham on a three-year contract extension.

Ear Thomas, coming to a town near you for a boatload of cash.

Earl Thomas wants to become the highest-paid safety in the NFL, reportedly offering no "hometown discount" to the Cowboys, so he likely finds more money elsewhere\

Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo
The #Giants have discussed the possibility of trading LB Olivier Vernon, sources tell me and @RapSheet. The big score of free agency a few years ago, Vernon might have played his last down as a Giant.

Teams have been made aware of the #Giants willingness to move Vernon. Another top pass-rusher available

Not interested in him at any price close to that.

[gbgary]

thomas just relegated himself to teams with $60+m in cap space. oh well.

[pbmax]

Didn't know where else to put this, so because it deals with pass rush, it goes in the FA thread.

Aaron Donald DOMINATED when rushing the passer last year.
