Quote:I betting Walter Thurman and Golden Tate are on our radar as well
Pass on Golden Tate.... No thanks.
Quote:I wouldn't say its "risky".......you just have to make sure you take care of the other potential early signings first so that if you wind up not getting Mack (Cleveland matches) you don't end up hung out to dry. No other Center in this FA class is of Mack's level, so its not like you'd be missing anything there.
But also Cleveland has so much cap room, they are in position to match basically any offer.
Quote:Brian De La Puente
Jon Asamoah or Breno Giacomini and Brian De La Puente. I'd love to see Alterraun Verner in a Jaguars uniform, but I'll settle for him out of the division.
Quote:rather have Asomoah, whose 3 yrs younger and a longer history of good play
To sign with Atlanta
Joe Hawley is an under the radar type for the Jags I think. Caldwell was in Atlanta when they drafted him. A little undersized but the played well last year when given a shot. And seems to have some attitude...and a glorious beard.

As was expected all weekend.

Which is why I said to tend to our (out of the gate) other signings first, and then make a play at Mack....at that point if you get him/ if Cleve doesn't match, its merely a "bonus", if they do match, then nothing really lost.

I think Mack is a legit possibility. He's clearly the guy that would be best possible Fa addition for Jags. J Byrd would be great but I'd be shocked if jags signed Byrd. Go Jaguars!
Mack but it will be a period the browns can match
Byrd or interior OL or bust.
Mack would be great but I think it is a pipe dream.
Quote:Mack but it will be a period the browns can match
I think people assuming to much that browns will match offer. The browns have been trying to resign Mack for a couple years. What makes u think it's gonna happen now. Go Jaguars
Steve Smith, Alex Mack, Michael Johnson
I could see Vontae Davis or Lamar Houston
for all the cap gurus, say if we signed mack and byrd to front loaded deals, how much money would we be looking at left in the cap for this year?

Your parameters are too vague for you to get a satisfactory answer. You need to see what kind of Signing Bonus, Roster Bonus, the Likely/Not Likely To Be Earned Incentives and Salary the player will earn before you can determine his Cap hit.
Call me crazy, but I think Jerry Porter still has some gas in the tank.
