Thry just signed chris white!!!They might have to start the jimmy g era soon.
 
Could they put mccourty back at cb? Or is he better at saftey
 
Hardy,Sheard,Rubin
Rinse and repeat.
On offense Spiller, Harvin,
Superbowl.
Any news on Brandon Browner?
 
Realistically, how many front 7 starting spots are open for significant improvement?

Siliga's spot? The other 6 spots (Ninkovich, Jones, Easley, Collins, Hightower and Mayo) seem filled.

Any dominating DT's available?
 
Chandler Jones needs to step the hell up. That's one thing.

Some help with health would be great too. Particularly Easley and Mayo (if he stays).

I'd like to see them pick up a LB who can cover so Collins can blitz more often.
 
What about nick fairley? Lol. Did he signed a deal?
 
Here is my guess.

#1 Get Knighton - DT - He is arguably the most impactful player left in FA and fill a starting roll you have open.
#2 Hope Easley is a stud.
#3 Hope Butler can be at least a good #2 CB
#4 Get a #1 CB that while not elite (Cause no one elite is left) will give the front 7 a chance to make something happen.
#5 Improve the O cause you will need to score more. This includes #3 WR and OL.
 
No easy answers here....just need to upgrade wherever they can with good value signings, offense, defense, and special teams. That was the point of walking away from the Revis deal. They have some cap space to get better and believe the overall improvements added up will be greater than the improvement Revis adds, or at least when you add in the risk factor.
 
Hope we can somehow fix Dennard. We wouldn't be looking that bad if Dennard reverted to 2013 form along with Arrington in the slot and hopefully Butler wasn't a fluke......still we won just barely with Revis and Browner.
 
What i want to know is..did we really go from best secondary in AFC East...down to near the bottom in East?
