With how good our team looks for the future. If hit on a couple of good draft picks, the return of Fowler, and get a few players from this LOADED 2016 free agency we could be a very good in 2016.
Here's some great 2016 free agents at positions we need:
O-LINE:
Russell Okung(LT), Andre Smith(RT), Donald Penn(LT), Alex Boone(G), J R Sweezy(G)
Pass Rush:
JPP (DE), Muhammad Wilkerson (DE), Von Miller (OLB)
DB:
Sean Smith (CB), Prince Amukamara (CB), Eric Berry (FS), Eric Weedle (FS), Tashaun Gipson (FS)
I think we dump the truck on muhammad wilkerson. Do what ever it takes to get him, hes still Very young and a JJ Watt type dominant player
Your thoughts for this coming free agency?
Von Miller is at 34 outside backer but would flurish as a LEO. However he ain't going anywhere.
Okung ain't either.
Wilkerson is intriguing.
LT is set with Parnell.
Gaurd is set with Linder and Cann.
If we deaft a CB in round 1 and get Marks back and Fowler is a double digit sack machine, we are gonna be stacked.
What if Fowler comes back and is super awesome & Odrick improves at DE?
First off, we all know most of those guys are gonna get tagged or re-signed. If we are trying to be realistic here, I think Wilkerson and Gipson both should and will be major priorities. Chances are we don't land both, but I definitely think they'll hit the market and I definitely think we'll be interested. Eric Berry would be a very nice consolation prize if we miss out on Gipson, but I'm still not sure the Chiefs don't try and bring him back. He's a fan and team favorite, and a heckuva player when healthy at that.

Then we draft or sign another pass rusher who can come in on 3rd downs or play full time if required because of injury. It sounds cliche, but there truly is no such thing as too many pass rushers. It's how the Giants were able to keep New England from winning 6 Super Bowls instead of the 4 they did win (by cheating).

Isn't Eric Berry the better player out of him and Gipson?
Can the Chiefs afford Berry and Houston?

yes Berry is better. I would guve him an Earl Thomas type contract
Bruce Irvin would be a good get also

Parnell started off good but has been suspect as of late, and our oline is not good, Blake is in the top 3 for qb pressures/ sacks... our D line is great against the run, but we cant pressure the QB for squat and our pass def is below average, when sen'Derrick played it didn't show a difference. Fowler coming back isn't gonna save our pass rush problems, itll help but we need another DE and ordick is not it, great rotational player but not a DE starter in my eyes. Our pass def needs more than jusT a rookie CB. Btw Von miller started off his career (3 years) under jack del Rio in a 4-3 scheme and did wonders as I'm sure you're well aware of. As far as denver keeping him they already hAve HUGE contracts Manning, D. Thomas, C.Harris, T. Ward, E. Saunders, A. Talib amonng others and still have to pay other 2016 FA like D. Trevathan, B. Marshall, and their future QB B. Osweiler who looked great today so big contract coming if he continues, I don't know that denver will have the money to pay Von what he wants ..... and again we are gonna need more than fowler and a 1st round cb to be "stacked"
We should get Weddle for his beard alone!
Why are we always looking forward. Lets enjoy now.
I'll let you know my picks once players are hitting the market otherwise I hope we still do well this season.
Well Brown isnt even starting anymore it shows Evans of all people (not sure if that is due to injury or poor performance by Serigo's part) so either Eric would be nice as FS has been a huge weakness on this team for years.

Well obvious I enjoy now, we are in playoff contention, but Just thinking a step ahead, just put your GM cap on; Im sure Caldwell is enjoy in the tear but i know hes lpoking at players in the draft/ free agency thall help in the future. I think we are several players away from being a force in the AFC. I know players could progress and end up and finish the season strong which could change our opinion if their a solid starter or not but just have fun with it. There's gonna be A LOT of great young UNRESTRICTED free agents in 2016. Draft picks are hit and miss, as well as some free agents (99.9% the guy coming off ONE hot year), but their more of a guarantee.
This thread are for those who have a GM mind set.if you don't like it then I'm sure there are a lot of other threads you could be on.
I'd be all over Eric Berry, Eric Weddle, or Tashuan Gipson.
Still wouldn't be surprised if Caldwell went after Alex Mack again.
I am betting if Bruce Irvin leaves Seattle then he will go to his hometown Atlanta Falcons.

This is a prime example of clear ineptitude from posters on the board hence why I've suggested numerous times that people don't know what they are talking about. Weddles been bad a couple years now and if I'm not mistaken, over the age of 30. And you want to give the man a Kam Chancellor type contract? Come on dude, I mean, I can't even......
What about some quality Running Back depth? I keep thinking about how this offense might look with Matt Forte added in the mix. Who do we really have behind Yeldon that is trustworthy? How about a 1-2 punch with Yeldon and Forte?

lol, he wasn't talking about Weddle or Kam.
Also Eric Weddle was a 1st team All-Pro LAST year.
Swing and a miss, bud.

Especially when comparing their play this year. I would throw a big contract at Berry.

I watch the Browns every week. I would not get Mack at this point. He has been bullied all season.
