Can Bryan Bulaga handle the heat?  I mean the Florida heat?  He went to college at Illinois and has spent his pro career in the NFC Norris division.  He looked awfully red-faced and overheated at times on Sunday vs Seattle.  He's a tough kid and the right age, but I wonder about the heat factor.

All those free agents and five million in cap space remaining. I shudder to think what your credit card statement looks like. 

 

Well, as I stated, I was going off of projected contracts I had found on the web. We cut Lewis gaining 6 million in cap space, as well as restructuring Poz to get 4 million more getting the cap room up to roughly 76 million. (Cobb-9,Franklin-5.5,Bulaga-6,Iupati-7.5,Clay-6,Hughes-8,Houston-15,Maxwell-7,McCourty-8=71)

 

Like others have said, I am fully aware that this thread is an extreme wishlist in which it will be lucky if half of this stuff happens. This was my sketch for how I would handle the offseason if I had 65+ million to work with and a FA class of this high quality available. Especially, if I knew that my job may be on the line for the season. I know this is obviously not how it will happen. Beadles will be the starter and so will Joeckel even if better options are out there.

Gimme Cobb and Houston and draft Dante Fowler and ill be a very happy guy... if I can get 2 out of 3, ill still be a very happy guy

---

What the hell? Did they ban the other 31 teams from signing free agents?

He went to Iowa. That's not be n Illinois.

Pick the top 3 Free Agents from your list because that's about all you're going to sign on the high end.  There may be some lower hanging fruit we pick up in free agency, but big ticket acquisitions will be at most 3 guys. 

 

The three I think the team will definitely target are:

1. Bulaga
   
2. Cobb
   
3. McCourty

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

After the OC and OL coordinator hires, I get the feeling the Jags are bargain basement shoppers. We might have one big name signing, but I expect any others to be players that, as Gus says, can "contribute and get better together." I've stopped having big dreams of this team making a splash at any thing other than the stadium pools.

 

And I'm not saying they won't succeed, it will just be under the radar and surprising if it happens. 

---

I'd be happy to just land McCourty and Bulaga.

I just want Suh I dont care, give me a nasty guy throw back player

If we got two of these guys I'd be estatic.

Although it's highly unlikely, can you imagine if we signed Suh and drafted Lenoard Williams? We'd have the most dominant line in football capable of winning games by itself

---

I'm not big on Suh. I really just don't like his character. With his past, you wonder how long before he finally gets kicked out of the league or something.

 

 

Well, we know how much projections actually matter, but searching the web and it seems like different sites think we will land Torrey Smith as our veteran receiver, Doug Free as our new RT and Devin McCourty. Obviously, this is much more realistic than my dream offseason, but if this happens I'm debating if I would be happy or not. Smith is ok, but he has games where he just completely disappears. Free wouldn't be a bad option, but I would certainly prefer Bulaga or Franklin. McCourty would be truly amazing though. I think adding him to Cyprien as well as Colvin continuing to develop would be a pretty good secondary, especially if we could get a good veteran corner opposite of Colvin.

Sounds like you dont have a lot of faith in McCray...

 

McCray did pretty well last year.

Care to elaborate?

Regarding Bryan Bulaga,  I wouldn't be concerned about the heat.   The issue with Bulaga has been a lack of durability too often.   

 

While I believe the Packers will make it a priority to retain Randall Cobb,   I think it's around 50-50 that Bulaga is back with them for the 2015 season.    

 

Under Ted Thompson,  the Packers have done a great job in finding good Offensive Lineman in the middle rounds.   I think they will continue to look for mid round O-Lineman to put in their pipeline.

This team won't be the one to make him the highest paid defensive lineman in the league.  Just won't happen, and that's exactly what he's expecting.

A rehabbing Marks, a rookie, and a handfull of mediocre DEs plus Suh would be the most dominant line in football? :woot:

Bryant was pretty good. Miller was pretty good. Smith and Davis showed promise.

Suh would instantly make every player on the line around him more effective.

 

That all being said... I'm not a big "Suh to Sacksonville" guy.

I'd rather throw that money at McCourty and the leftovers get another role player vet

They have publicly stated they will be 'big spenders.' That's hardly under the radar, but yea yea #becausejaguars

I'm not disagreeing with any of that, just saying, the most dominant line in football opinion is ridiculous.
