I thought I heard rumors about a year or two ago that we called about Sheard's avalability. I could be mixed up though.Reiss liked him. Never heard that BB did. I personally don't see him as a great fit, but that's just me.
I want us to re-sign our free agents on defense and Revis. There will be no additional money available.
The only "need" is at WR. Amendola should be considered a free agent, since there is no chance that he will be paid $4.4M by the patriots.
The only thing I recall is Reiss identifying him as a possible draft pick a frew years ago.I thought I heard rumors about a year or two ago that we called about Sheard's avalability. I could be mixed up though.
Ayers will be a free agent.I am VERY comfortable with Mayo/Hightower/Collins/Ayers at LB
Man I hope he stays. I don't expect him to be a rock star but the guy does everything pretty well- not Pro Bowl level- but pretty well.Ayers will be a free agent.
Josh Gordon on a one-year, high incentive rehab contract after the Browns cut him.
The only FA's we should go after are our own. The biggest critical need is on the OL and none of the current ones that would solve our issue, like Iupati, can be had without breaking the cap budget for the OL. Our best bet to upgrade in that area is a combination of our high draft picks and current roster (Flemming).
At worst we'd end up with Wendell and Connolly again. Not great but serviceable, and STILL better than a lot of teams, at best Flemming becomes the kind of big RG I always had hoped Cannon might be, and our #1 pick can start right away at LG and be an upgrade.
After that you try and sign the boom or bust low end guys. Remember there isn't going to be much cap space if we sign Revis, McCourty,Ayers, et al. There were a lot of NLTB incentives paid out this season as well. Also don't forget we've drafted pretty well the last few years and guys like Jones, HIghtower and Collins are going to be coming up soon.
If big names are what gets you juiced up during FA, I think 2015 is going to be a bad year for you.
Fortunately if he does leave, there seems to be a lot of guys of his type available this year in FA. Also remember that getting Mayo back next year will help fill some of the void.Man I hope he stays. I don't expect him to be a rock star but the guy does everything pretty well- not Pro Bowl level- but pretty well.
So how much does Brady's huge cap saving restructure change things?
