Kearse is the main DE everyone would love to have but I imagine the Titans would franchise him for sure

[R. Rich]

A while ago, someone posted a list of possible free agents at the end of the season. From the list, I was able to target about 19 DEs and 11 Cs. There were some guards I noted also, but I don't remember how many. I don't have the list handy, but I am compiling as much info as I can on the players I have on that list. Once I have more info, I'll post who I think are the best choices to go after.

The thread about the possible free agents was just about a week or so ago. You should be able to find it through a search under 'free agents for next seaon' or something like that.

[clumping platelets]

Grant Wistrom from the Rams

Jevon Kearse from the Titans

Other than that......not much

Don't forget tho Rude, it was Moulds or Wiley. Ya can't argue w/ our choice. But cap precluded retaining both.

Also, Wiley is good, but nowhere near the bucks he's making.

As to Kearse, this is exactly the type of player we want to avoid, but alas, the exact type of player that TD would sign. He won't come with value. He'll come with top dollar where the team taking him will have to hope that his play matches it.

What we need to look for are guys like Thornton last year. Guys who won't come at top dollar, although not inexpensively, and who are more of a "secret" than a proven, highly sought after commodity w/ a name in the NFL even before they ever took a snap. It's like brand names, you pay for the name. We want performance first, then name. Let them build the name here and let us have some value instead of constantly purchasing "names" and hoping, for whatever reasons, that the level of play matches. Adams, Dredsoe, Milloy, Spikes, McGahee, Winfield this year.

Good GMs, and this is why I argue that TD isn't good, good GMs find good players who come in under the radar, fit the system, and won't cost top bucks. TD's approach is to find the brightest spot on the radar screen, pay top bucks, and bring him in and "hope for the best", likely getting play that doesn't match the pay.

We can build a team this offseason, but not w/ moves like resigning Winfield, acquiring Bailey, signing Kearse.

We need to dump Blew and his $6M, rid ourselves of Adams assuming he's not hit, and make another move or two to free up some cap space that isn't worth the money being paid.

If I'm not mistaken however, some players that we should cut who won't be "cuttable", are Brown, Fletcher, Teague, and Posey. We can do better for less money in all of those positions.

Anyone wanna take that list and sort it by position and RFA, UFA, etc.



Or, we can break it down by team or division, and I'll compile everything in an Excel spreadsheet and send it to y'all.

I'll take a division. Anyone else?

[EM Bills Fan 80]

Ill help out, Ill get started on the AFC East Right Now, I have no life so its all good LOL

[TigerJ]

On another thread someone suggested Eric Hicks as an alternative to Kearse. I think Hicks has been pretty productive for KC this year.

[Tatonka]

wys.. i would not worry.. i dont think there is ANY WAY the titans let kearse go... i dont care about the cap space.. they will cut others. but he will be in TN next year.

Bailey is the same deal.

winstrom may be a huge signing.. he is a beast. but that would literally be 4 white DEs on our team.. that is entirely too many..

[ArcticWildMan]

No names really worth pursuing in the AFCE except Woody at Center.


Wade from Miami is a possibility but I think he injured himself and is a question mark. Highly doubtful Miami lets him slip away anyway.
