Free Agency 2016

Maybe consider Eric Weddle is we lose Gipson, but given that he's already 30ish it's probably not the right player/right team.

Love Weddle....no matter how old he is.....been thinking about him since Gipsons holdout last spring....
More options for the interior OL...
There are a couple Centers that might be better backfill options than those we have at hand. JAX's Wisniewski was drafted by Hue in OAK.
Wisniewski too......was pushing for him last season.....plays multiple positions, has the pedigree and the price was right....

After what I saw in the Superbowl and the playoffs leading into it, I got to go with DT Malik Jackson from Denver. They won't have enough money to pay him and Von both what they are really worth.

I hope we don't get Wisniewski. I have clients by that name. Always hate to have to spell it.
If we get him here can we just shorten his name or call him The Wiz?

This is my FA target short list I'm writing up right now:
I like interior OL in draft in rounds 3-5.
1. Marvin Jones, WR (CIN) - $$$
Makes too much sense. Big need area. Very familiar with Hue.
2. Zach Brown, LB (TEN) - $$$$
Fills a big need. Has played under Horton the last two years.
3. Jamari Lattimore, LB (NYJ) - $$
Heard nothing but good things about Lattimore. Jets do not want to lose him.
4. Rhett Ellison, TE (MIN) - $$
Dray replacement. H-back who can double as a Fullback. Vikes also do not want to lose him. Recovering from injury.
5. Tashaun Gipson and Mitchell Schwartz (CLE) - $$$$
I think re-signing both these guys is a no-brainer.
3. Jamari Lattimore, LB (NYJ) - $$
Heard nothing but good things about Lattimore. Jets do not want to lose him.
The Packers let him walk away without even making an offer even though ILB is the weakest position on the team...that should tell you everything you need to know about Lattimore.

Should have about $36 Mil in Cap space

Apparently Peter King said on Monday that the Browns should make a move on Osweiler or however the fuck you spell it.

I can't imagine a scenario where the Broncos let him go.
They are drafting 31st and there is nothing out there free agency wise.

They're gonna franchise Von Miller...so techinically I think that would make Osweiler a free agent, I don't really know how the system works so maybe someone who knows better can figure that out.

He will be a free agent if Von is tagged. Whether or not he hits the street or signs with Denver long-term is another question.

I'm thinking Manning retires before FA and Brock re-signs before hitting the streets,
Elway may look like a horse, but he's not as dumb as one.

I think that is right. Osweiler is probably a better choice for them than anyone. He may be better than any QB in this draft, he may be better than any QB that would be a FA. Broncos make a big push for him to stay.....he is a young veteran, knows their system, has some talent and some potential, he would have a good support system with Elway etc.
Maybe they overpay a bit for him....but it may still be worth it for them to do so.
He would be basically handed the starting job, which may not happen elsewhere. Well, I guess Cleveland, St. Louis and Houston would hand him the job. But in his own best interests he should stay put.
He doesn't have to squeeze every last dollar, does he? He will be adequatetly compensated by the Broncos.

Von Miller has proven his value for a contract not a 1 year tag. Ask him. So I would tag OZ or no one. Yes you maybe overpaying him for a one year look, but Texans, Rams, Dallas, Philly, Jets, Zona, 9ers & Us would drive $$ up to 17-20 million anywho. Go ahead Elway, let him shop & you got nobody at QB. PERFECT!!
Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends -
Heard Bruce Irvin likely not being resigned in Seattle.

How about a two-year deal for Donald Penn if Schwartz is gone?

How do you think Osweiler shakes out compared to the QBs coming up in the 2016 draft?

See above. I think he is every bit as good a prospect as anyone that will be available.

Curious to see Mike's take...
Tough to equate a 4-year project at the Pro level with a thin resume with a fresh prospect.
I would say Brock has shown signs of his floor being starter adequate with a franchise level ceiling.
I see at least two draft prospects that meet or exceed those minimums.

This isn't necessarily a free agent situation, but I didn't really see a need to start a new topic on a longshot. Now I'm not sure if it's just me but I find it a little odd I haven't heard more about Jimmy Graham in Seattle. I know they have some big free agents coming up this off season and with their offense taking off after Graham going down with injury, I figured I'd here at least a smidgen of a rumble concerning the Seahawks trading, restructuring, or letting Graham go.
Don't get me wrong, I realize his value right now is much lower than it was a year ago, I doubt the Seahawks are ready to just right him off, and I don't know his contract situation in terms of dead money on the cap for any move, but with all of the speculation in the offseason, it just seems weird I haven't heard anything.
What I do know is that I wouldn't mind having him in the brown and orange. He'd give us a red zone threat we haven't had in who knows how long and if we do go QB early, well, I doubt said QB would be upset with two big TE's to sling it to.
Again, I know it's a longshot, madden-esqe wet dream scenario but it's the offseason but it's the offseason so why not?

Because sometimes it's nice if a TE actually blocks?
In a vertical or spread offense Graham has shown he can be a real weapon, but supposedly Hue is bringing the power game back to CLE, so I do not see the fit... and as it turned out neither could Seattle.
