<![CDATA[Free Agency 2016]]>Could we get a stickied free agency thread since it's getting close to that time?

Personally, I'd like to see our number one target be Danny Trevathan. He's from Youngstown, he's an interior linebacker, he's 25 and he's played in two Super Bowls - all of those qualities are very important for a team looking to revamp its defense.

Secondly, if we lose Schwartz, I think we take a solid crack at Andre Smith. He's a big body that can likely hold the fort for a year or two with no significant loss in production at that position.

Claimed a kicker who quit the Jags... and put him on the Injured/Retired list. If he decides to play, he's ours.

Claimed a UDFA WR signed then released by the Pack. Kids a product of Rice U. and Texas HS powerhouse Converse Judson.

Wasn't Whisenhunt the HC of the Titans when they drafted Mettenberger? And perhaps he was Whiz's choice, so it makes sense for him to grab him.

Makes sense, they have their QB in Rivers, but only for a couple of years. Prototypical size and arm strength will always get you a second and third gig in this league - just ask Weeden, Anderson, etc etc

Mettenberger released by the Titans today.

Half this board had a hardon for him after the 2015 preseason... then he went out and got blamed for losing all his starts with Tennessee's abomination of a roster.

If we were in the market for another veteran backup QB, this guy might be OK. I see the Cowboys/Broncos having some interest in him.
