Here's a few:

 

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"><b>1. Von Miller, Denver Broncos linebacker:</b> Miller has been one of the best overall defensive players in the league since he was drafted. He's as strong stopping the run as he is coming off the edge. There's no way the Broncos will let him hit the market. 

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"><b>2. Josh Norman, Carolina Panthers cornerback:</b> There's nothing like having your breakout season in a contract year. Norman has been the best cornerback in football this year and is a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate. He's not going anywhere. 

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"><b>3. Muhammad Wilkerson, New York Jets defensive end:</b>Sheldon Richardson and Leonard Williams were splashy draft pick additions, but Wilkerson is still the best defensive lineman on the Jets. New York has played hardball in negotiations thus far with Wilkerson, but the franchise tag has to be an option here. 

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"><b>4. Alshon Jeffery, Chicago Bears wide receiver:</b> He might not be the most refined receiver in the league, but few are better at catching deep balls. He's fourth in the league in receiving yards-per-game and topped 1,400 yards in 2013.

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"><b>5. Cordy Glenn, Buffalo Bills offensive tackle:</b> True franchise left tackles are awfully hard to find. That's why he's a strong candidate for the franchise tag. 

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"><b>6. Jason Pierre-Paul, New York Giants defensive end:</b> He's still disruptive despite playing with a club over his injured hand. There has to be a chance JPP will only get better as he learns how best to play with his disadvantage, and the ceiling here is tremendous. Still, he has struggled to wrap up opposing running backs. Can he finish plays? 

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"><b>7. Eric Berry, Kansas City Chiefs safety:</b> Berry has come back from his cancer scare better than ever. Strong safety play is hard to find and Berry has the versatility teams are looking for. 

<p style="font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;color:rgb(34,34,33);"><b>8. Malik Jackson, Broncos defensive tackle:</b> Like Norman, he's having a career year in a contract season. It's hard to find interior pass rushers like Jackson just entering his prime.

Most of these guys will get locked up or tagged.

 

I would go after:

 

Eric Berry, Tashaun Gipson, or Eric Weddle (in that order) to lock up the FS role.

Kelechi Osemele (move Cann to C) or Alex Mack for the C spot

Nick Perry for GB to help rush the passer

and possibly either Trumaine Johnson or Janoris Jenkins to bolster the CB spot (unless you go Hargreaves)

 

Get a few other smaller signings, draft picks, and save the money for the big extensions that will be coming our way soon

1, 3, and 7 please.

Eh, as usual, we will end up with the 2nd tier, 3rd tier of free agents, that would be backups on good teams.

Who do you want us to get. Most of the guys end up re-signing with their old team for less money. There's not a ton of available first tier players because teams don't let those players go.

I want Jenoris Jenkins and Eric Berry and Muscle Hampster.

Berry and Wilkerson would be mighty nice.

I watched enough of Perry up here to say that he won't really help much. He has 12.5 career sacks and that's with opposing teams focusing in on Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers. I'd rather go after someone like Curry or Vernon to help the LEO position. The rest of your list seems pretty good and more importantly reasonable.

As long as Miami can pay Vernon, I don't see him leaving his hometown team. I also don't see he or Curry leaving their current situation to be a backup here since they won't start over Fowler.


Perry would rotate in and may excel with putting his hand back in the dirt like he did at college.

As of right now Miami is almost $6 million over the cap, so I'm not sure they'll be able to afford Vernon even if they shed some salary. Add in the fact they already have over $40 million of their 2016 cap tied up on the defense line, not even counting Dion Jordon's salary or Quinton Coples' option, so I doubt they'll want to invest even more there should the clear some space. Curry is miscast right now in Phily's 3-4, so I don't think he'll likely be back with them either.

 

I think it's likely Fowler and whoever is brought in will split snaps at the LEO pretty evenly, especially given Fowler's injury, and they'll also likely be used at other positions in pass rushing situations. If you promise Curry/Vernon they'll receive roughly 50% of the snaps at LEO and another 20% of the snaps at strong side end or on the interior in pass rushing situations, that should be enough playing time. Add in the fact that we can pay either of them handsomely and I think they'd be fine with coming here.

Yeah I see what you are saying. I think a lot of it will do with how they plan on using Fowler. I personally would like to see him at OTTO and then have him moved all over the field like a chess piece similar to how UF used him.

Agreed. Unless we end up drafting Jaylon Smith or Miles Jack, I wouldn't be shocked to see Fowler play some OTTO especially if we land another good LEO.

I want josh Norman

I would love to see Cordy Glenn, but the Bills will tag him. 

Quote:I want josh Norman

Same, give him to us 

The people that want Eric Weddle clearly aren't watching him play. He's done. He doesn't even care enough to play hard for the Chargers in a contract year.

 

Keep a guy like that away from my young promising franchise.

Quote:Same, give him to us

Feels like everyone is assuming he will resign with us. That guys gonna get paid so it's definitely no guarantee.


Looking forward to seeing how he matches up with OBJ today - should be fun.
