Trent Brown is a MUST resign for me - this offensive line is the biggest strength of the team and we need to keep this unit together as TB ages and to set up the run game for Michel.
Team needs:
- WR: No real threat along the boundary, limits are offense dramatically
- TE: Even if Gronk comes...
The trade for Trent Brown seems to be a bit puzzling with Marcus Cannon coming back, unless there is something we don't know about Cannon's injury. We should have a pretty dominant OL going into the season. I see the starting OL like this:
Wynn - Thuney - Andrews - Mason - Brown
Cannon...
Any chance we could get a guy like Mo Wilkerson on a one-year prove it deal? He will likely be cut by the Jets and could maybe get a one year 8 million dollar deal?
I would say it is more likely that the Patriots told Butler not to sign his tender yet, so as to avoid being discussed in the Cooks trade than your wink wink theory.
What would you guys think about bringing in Eddie Lacy on a 1 year minimal risk deal?
WR FA targets: Michael Floyd, Kamar Aiken, Kendall Wright, Quinton Patton, Terrell Pryor (price might be too high on the last one)
LB: I really hope Hightower resigns. Zach Brown, DeAndre Levy, and the rest...
For me it is simple:
1. Cut cannon
2. Restructure amendola
3. Extend both Hightower and Collins
4. Sign Mitchell Schwartz (surprise vollmer cut if this happens), Marvin jones, and a solid vet guard like jahri Evans
5. Target receiver and running back in the draft
I think at this stage in their careers Schwartz is far better than both cannon and vollmer. I would start Schwartz and restructure or cut vollmer. Vollmer is an injury prone 32 year old right tackle.
Right tackles aren't nearly as expensive as LT. Top of the market RT is approx 6.5 a year...
1. Cut cannon
2. Extend both Hightower and Collins
3. Extend sheard
4. Sign RT Mitchell Schwartz
5. Sign WR Marvin Jones
6. Target running back, linebacker, and developmental offensive line prospects in the draft.
I think LaFell struggled this season from the foot injury. I don't think he every fully recovered and as you said, his cap hit is very manageable.
Dobson needs to have the training camp of his life to stay on this team
What do we think about RT Mitch Schwartz from Cleveland? I think he would be a great fit/top FA target. Cut Cannon/Restructure Vollmer for depth/swing OT.
Schwartz is 26 or 27 and has been very good for Cleveland, do you think we could get him for 4 years 28 million?
Unrealistic target: Marvin Jones
The guy I am surprised no one has brought up is Chris Givens with the Rams - he had a big season a few years back, but now is behind guys like Tavon Austin, Quick, Britt, etc.
I think he could be had for a 6th rounder and would fill in for LaFell until he is...

The biggest weakness on this team now is the cornerback position... our starting two right now are Malcolm Butler and Logan Ryan. I have a lot of confidence in Butler, as he did very well in spot duty last season on guys like Emmanuel Sanders and Jermaine Kearse. I think he can be a solid #2...
Also pretty telling that Belichick could have traded the Bucs for Dane Fletcher instead to get a guy he was familiar with and had experience playing ILB in Belichick's defense.... noteworthy they chose Casillas
