Recent League Salary Cap Cuts

[saden1]

All the players worth looking at (Boulware, Madison, Law) are all 32 going or heading towards it. I wouldn't sign a single player on this list to more than the veteran minimum.

If we somehow had the money to sign free agents, I'd give a long hard look at TEs Putzier and Williams. I'd also closely look at Plummer; he was good until he (like Springs) got the injury bug. Those guys are all pretty young.

Putzier seemed to make alot of big catches for denver late in the season

Do we really need TEs? I for one like our current group.

I think a good tight end could do wonders for our offense and compensate for our lack of depth at WR. What I particularly love about tight ends is their versatility. Tight ends can help in the running game, pass protection, red zone, and receiving in general. They are particularly valuable in a run-first offense, give coordinators more permutations in the playbook to work with than receivers, and increase an offense's unpredictability.

As you can see, I'm a little biased. But I am particularly emphatic about getting tight-ends right now; they're cheap and we need cap room and they're available in this deep TE draft pool (whereas a starting-caliber WR will not be).

Plus, our current group isn't all that deep. Sellers is more of a fullback than tight end. Royal is decent, but not a quality starter. Johnson is an unknown quantity. And I can't really speak to Kozlowski. So, what would happen if Cooley went down? Our offense would be struggling big time.

we run a lot of two TE sets and right now we have cooley and johnson (who in his firt year had one catch for 4 yards). royal isn't under contract and probably won't be back without a new cba.
