Default Realistic UFA Signings

Its fun to toss around big names but the reality is that we do not spend big on other teams players in free agency. Which I actually view as a good thing. Teams that spend big normally fail.

I see the Patriots resigning their own UFA's and then kicking tires and taking chances on either young players who never reached their potential or veterans who you could revive for 1-2 years.

This is a list of players that I could see us signing from. Feel free to add any you think I may of missed or comment on why we wouldn't sign someone.

Austin Collie is like Edelman's frail cousin, and his brain is nearly if not already liquified by this point. Out of curiosity, why doesn't Hartline make your list? I'd prefer him to the options you have listed.

Not a whole lot I like on there, though Alan Branch and Kenny Phillips would be quality signings.

I like Hartline I just think he will cost more than we will be willing to spend. He is only 26 yrs old coming off a 1000 yard season despite playing in a bad offense with a rookie QB.

His has the tools and messurables too; 6'2, 200lbs runs a 4.5 40.

He is going to get paid like a top 50 UFA IMO...

Give me Kenny Phillips. I think that'd be a good signing.

Looking at the potential CB free agents:

Derek Cox stays on the field only slightly more often than Ras-I Dowling

Brent Grimes was guy I was intrigued with earlier, but he tore his Achilles in September, and will soon turn 30

Jerraud Powers went on IR in November, though his injury (big toe) doesn't sound all that alarming

Captain Munnerlyn couldn't keep his starting job on a bad Carolina defense, which is a bit of a red flag

Jacob Lacey might be okay in the nickel to replace Arrington, but if he had to play outside I don't know that he would be any better than Arrington - and we know Arrington can play special teams well

If you think Derek Cox is hot garbage, I don't suppose you care about Aqib Talib either.
