    RB Anthony Dixon 49er's 26 6-1 233 third down thumper plenty of miles left.

    ILB Donald Butler Chargers 25 6-1 242 young aggresive

    DE Michael Johnson Bengals 26 6-7 270 pass rush ability down year in 2013

    WR Emmanuel Sanders Steelers 26 5-11 180 slot receiver with speed

    Only interested at the right price,wouldn't overpay for any of them.

    ^Definitely like Donald Butler

    I'll add:

    OG Jon Asamoah, Chiefs, Got benched last year for Geoff Schwartz, but would be a major upgrade for us

    CB Walter Thurmond. Seahawks. Has good size and could compete for CB2 or Nickel CB spot.

    WR Golden Tate. Seahawks

    WR Kenny Britt. Titans

    S Stevie Brown. Giants

    Kenny Brit has been involved with the police in some sort of fashion 9 TIMES since he has been in the NFL

    NO THANKS

    I also like Butler. He played 4 years at Washington, got hurt his rookie year 2010, missed the entire year. Since then he has been a starter and in 2013 he was a team captain.

    Ideally, I want Eric Decker. Tall, 6'3'' physically strong, 215 pounds and can actually catch a ball unlike Little. He had nearly 1,300 yards this year with 11 TDs with similar stats in 2012. Decker and Gordon would be a deadly duo.

    RB - Toby Gerhardt to complement Dion Lewis and a draft pick

    WR- James Jones ( I like Decker but I think his price will be too high)

    OG - Osamuah or Swartz

    OLB - Brian Orapko

    ILB -Donald Butler

    DB - Alterraun Verner (if that is a strikeout I say Captain Munnerlyn)

    S - Jarius Byrd comes to play with Pettine

    Why wouldn't we be aiming for Decker?

    Screw this "price too high, he won't come here" bullshit. You put the best players you can on the field. Throw him a large contract, fuck it.

    We're going to have to overpay for any FA, might as well target the best available.

    Decker, Orapko, Byrd.

    Push to keep Ward and Mack

    I'm definitely a Decker fan. Not sure Denver will keep him because he'll probably demand a high price, but I'd definitely throw him an offer.

    Pass on James Jones.At 30 is an older version of Greg Little, many drops in his career.

    I dont think Decker is that great, and he will command an inflated contract due to his numbers with Manning. There are plenty of options out there for #2 reciever.

    I am not suggesting James Jones is a number one but comparing his drop issues to Greg Little is absurd. He has had issues with drops from time to time but overall he is vastly superior to Little and a good big redzone target.I certainly would still draft a top talent WR or even still chase Decker.

    I like Decker and wouldnt mind paying to get him, I just wonder what a Manningless Decker produces.

    I agree. In almost all cases, FA sign where the money is and not the location. Plus, what's overpaying? I don't think you overpay if the guy you get comes in and gets it done.

    No shit, can the Browns go after the BEST FA at least at one position this year

    I would prefer G, CB or safety. Pettine should bring Byrd with him...

    Pettine was there for one season. Byrd has been there since 09. He made it to two Pro Bowls without Pettine.

    It's not like Byrd is a Pettine guy or something.

    That would be like Tennessee fans saying "Horton should bring Joe Haden with him"

    Except Haden isnt a free agent...he can take Chris Owens with him...

    Okay, TJ Ward. Better?

    Point is, Byrd is about as loyal to Pettine as Haslam is to coaches.

    I know what youre saying, I wasnt really saying they were loyal to each other, just that I would like to have him. If we get Byrd, Ten can have Ward though.

    Drops are drops comparing Jones to Little isn't absurd.To bring in a 30 year old receiver is absurd when your able to bring in younger guys who can hang on to the ball.
