NFL News Official 2023 Free Agency Thread

They're missing a QB.

I feel like they could be a dark horse for Rodgers, but haven't seen anyone mention them. They have some good receivers and an incredibly weak division, and a ton of cap space.

I would like Lavonte David on a 2 year deal.

 

[DaBruinz]

To be honest I think this is the right move. This legal tampering period has been a huge dud so far. That means prices will be lower than expected and he will be able to make good deals.

Well, I'm hoping for Orlando Brown. He's probably going to be $20M/AAV. with $50M guaranteed.

Still need a LB, though I'm not sure there is really anyone available who is better than what we have currently for covering RBs/TEs.

Interesting that we haven't heard much on Peppers.

Would've loved to get Dean he was a bright spot on the Bucs last year

 

[DaBruinz]

I would like Lavonte David on a 2 year deal.

You think he's still got 2 years left in him at 33?

 

[Joey007]

if they do mend things with Jack Jones, then honestly I’m not complaining too much about our CB situation with Jon back in the fold. Would still like one more vet in there maybe.

Nice. This is good news for the price of Drue Tranquil whom I think the Pats might try to get.

To me, Bourne and Parker are the new version of Branch and Givens. Thornton should end up being a better version of Terry Glenn.

I like Bourne a lot, and he has a very team friendly deal.

I also like Parker, but he is always hurt & you cannot depend on him to be a starter, because you know he is going to miss plenty of time,.

Now saying Thornton is going to be a better version of Terry Glenn is a real stretch.

They are both very fast 4.28 & 4.29, but Terry Glenn was an elite route runner with amazing footwork.

Thornton is still a work in progress, but his route running can’t touch Glenn.

I have heard analysts compare Antonio Browns amazing footwork to Terry Glenn

Nobody raves about Thorntons route running, because he rounds off his routes & struggles to get open despite amazing speed

seems cheap

Tranquill would be just the kind of under-the-radar signing that BB likes to make.

After RT Taylor signed for 4y/80M/60g? You're so cute : )

Versatile, productive, good blitzer, excellent coverage guy. Fills a need. It would make sense.

 

[Love The Drake]

seems cheap

reasonable deal.

 

[PowerRunRevival]

seems cheap

Wish the Pats outbid the Bucs on him.

Once Brown Jr. Signs somewhere else I’ll be pretty disappointed with free agency.

This is how the Pats have almost always done business but it is more frustrating with the cap space available and the disappointing team last year.

 

[Sciz]

I want to know why Dean got Butlered at the end of the season. He played 17 ST snaps and 0 on defense in the playoff game.

Sam Darnold to 49ers! Man... what could have been if the GOAT wanted to go one more year.
