Free Agency 2016
-
How about Brian Quick from the Rams? Good size, decent speed. Seems to have some talent, just some issues staying on the field the past two years.
Seems like a pretty good to decent flier. I imagine he'd be cheaper than most as well.
Also, I didn't want to start a thread because it doesn't feel warranted, but does anyone see us maybe going after a RB in FA? There are a couple young to youngish guys available that might fit Hue's previous thunder and lightning approach in Cincy. Doug Martin, Lamar Miller, Alfred Morris, etc.
I figure Martin and Miller will be looking for a hefty contract which might not fit with what we're looking to do but Morris slightly intrigues me. I figure he could be had for a reasonable price but I'm not sure how much of an upgrade he would be over Crow, hence the slight intrigue.
Mostly, I'm just looking for others opinions on RB as I haven't heard much about it this off season. I realize it's farther down our needs list but we do have some time to kill.

A couple of us are on the Chris Ivory bandwagon... adds a powerback element we lack.

I owe you an apology, Gipp. I never expected you were cool enough to get down with the mighty boosh, guess I was wrong.

Happy to see a couple of Boosh fans. Both of you guys have reached a higher level of respect.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is hitting free agency but I expect that to be short lived. The Jets seemed to really like what he did last season.

Ideally, I'd like to see us go in and make a decent splash in FA this year. Unlikely? Sure. But I think if we were able to land, say, four "impact" free agents, it would do wonders for our draft board. When I say "impact", I don't necessarily mean top-10 guys, per se, but more impactful to the franchise by filling voids caused either by a dearth of talent or departing UFA's.
If I add to envision a scenario that would make me absolutely ecstatic, I'd say something like (numbers in parentheses are SI.com FA ranking):
Sign Danny Trevathan (17)
Sign Stefan Wisnewski (46)
Sign George Iloka (9)
Sign Andre Smith (26)
Sign Marvin Jones (15)
All of these players are young, fill a void, and have proven themselves at this level. This would replace a departed Mack, a departed Schwartz and a departed Gipson with young talent, plus add a three-down ILB from the Ohio area and a young, tall boundary receiver as #2 WR to help keep defenses more honest.
This is a doable, realistic FA strategy, in my opinion. And it would eat up about 20-25 million of our 40 million budget.
