Possibly a top 5-10 at each position of free agents for the next Kiper article, see if I feel like throwing in FA sleepers as well.
Bengals are happy to announce the addition of two new players: TE Zachary Joseph Miller and WR Alfred Alfonzo "A.J." Jenkins. Jenkins is something of a project for us -- a low risk, high reward type of deal. Not much will be required of him behind the trio of A.J. Green, Jordy Nelson and Andrew Hawkins (combined for 3,384 yards last year), but the 4.3 speed that helped make him a 1st-round pick in 2012 could be put to use if teams focus too much on our top options. We're really excited about Miller. He averaged 532 yard per season in his 7 years in the NFL before undergoing a season-ending injury in 2014, although he's expected to be back by the start of the season. Worst-case scenario: He is an excellent insurance policy and provides depth behind promising TE Gavin Escobar (2nd rounder in 2013, stuck behind Jason Witten, has 6 TDs on 23 targets in his 2 seasons). Best-case scenario: He returns to full health and gives us two quality receiving targets at TE for Drew Brees.
Always room for another elite poster. No elite fa's left so i have nothing to update my elite roster with
The Jaguars are pleased to announce they've come to terms OL, Kevin Boothe. A versatile lineman, he can play wither guard position or center.
I'd like to make an elite trade where I ship one of cheap surplus of young guys for cheap young guys at other positions. Who's down for that elite action?
khaliff barnes is cooked - Kevin Boothe on the other hand is a back up that can play almost every position on the oline, which is helpful to a young team. And he didnt grade out negatively in any games he played in. So, there's that. Elite, no! Useful and Versatile, Yes!
Banres is beyond cooked, he's burned. Boothe can in fact play 4 of 5 positions on the OL - just none of them adequately. Nevertheless he's a perfectly cromulent emergency option/tutor I presume.
Well, Reggie McKenzie agrees at least. His every other play false starts weren't as problematic when he was the OL "6th man"
Yeah, we loved him his first year here, and then we did OL blocking scheme switch 8,675,309 and he didn't fit and we brought in crap to replace him. High effort for sure, but he just seems like he's at the end of his line. Or playing for the Raiders has crippled him like everyone else. Also plausible.
What does everyone's cap situation look like? Anyone still in cap hell? Anyone going to be throwing around $20 million?
I currently have $59M in cap room, but after Suh accepts his franchise tag (I'm assuming no one will offer up 2 1st and $27M to sign him), I'll only have $32M.
Seahawks announce the signings of 630lbs of interior defense in Nick Williams and Josh Brent. We needed youth on the defensive line. Brent will be prohibited from ever driving or going out after 8pm. Williams has a free pass to Golden Corral.
