NFL News Offseason player acquisition thread

Do they plan to move him to Free Safety?

Because we need a #1 FS a helluva lot more than we need a Very expensive #2 CB.

If we had two lockdown corners then playing 2 strong safeties back there isn't as bad. I'll still take a FS but in this day and age of playing so much nickel I like having the 2 Strong Safeties as it helps in the run game. DMac was great in run support most FS aren't.

I think with a better corner and more importantly a better pass rush that Dugger and Peppers can get back to being a force on the back end.

Sign Jevon Holland, Carlton Davis and Justin Reid. Make Dugger a full time LB. Trade Peppers. Re-sign Jon Jones to play the slot even though he wasn't great last year but that should make him fairly cheap and he's a culture guy.

Massive infusion of coverage ability that should enable more creative scheming up front. Can use more blitzes and stunts with that type of coverage ability in the secondary.

 

[captain stone]

I actually think Davis could be excellent in the FS role

I think he can make the switch too, but he probably still wants CB money...

 

[TommyD4207]

I would love the **** out of this. CB is really weak in this year's draft.

I think the Pats really don't want to do draft pick + new contract compensation.

There are actually true field safeties in the draft that can really play, too.

If Williams signs here, then that means Barmore is Finished.

I thought there has been some encouraging reports on him working out for next year already.

 

[captain stone]

If it's a super-cheap deal, with incentives and no guarantees really, then fine. But he shouldn't get a real WR contract.

It's not the money with me; it's the draft picks that I don't want to lose.

It depends I think Tee Higgins would be a different story. A Player that would be with Maye for a while Hmmmmm.

Patriots would for AJ

If still offer a mid pick for Pickens, If Vrab feels froggy.

I'm pulling for the dude, but he & Williams play the same position (3-Tech) so that would be both expensive and redundant.

I think the plan is to have him playing with Barmore.. report Barmore is down in Tampa working out and looking good.

You guys are playing with my emotions.

 

[Sciz]

Cap Davis probably wouldn't be as expensive.. he's a mid-tier CB.. good though.. I'm thinking 3 years 27 Milly..

Yes I believe FS definitely needs to be addressed. We need that guy... so peppers can go back to punishing RBs and WRs across the middle up near the LOS...

The Athletic suggested $19M per year for Davis in an article yesterday

You need 2 of those

I did not think Vrabel would try to trade away draft assets for a guy that is always *****ing
He stressed Culture. DK always complaining and did not want to be here
No Thanks

They're moving to a 4-3.

Well too damn bad. They can't draft to save their lives and are one of the least desirable destinations in he NFL. Overpaying by a considerable margin is their only option.
