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.

Denver just released Owen Daniels.....solid vet that might be a good value in a secondary role to Barnidge....
Raiders may have violated rules in their dealings with Camp Osemele...

I like Owen, but if Kubiak is willing to part with a player who has gone everywhere Gary has HC'd, is there an issue? Would give me pause...

Khiry Robinson would be a good option for those of you wanting another back.
