this is fantasy camp anyways, are either of these guys going to visit the skins next year? i doubt it.

I wonder how much of Goldson is good because of his defense or because he's great, or both.

I'm putting down some names of guys that could be on our team.

Jake Long OT 28 Dolphins-- May not be a perfect fit for a ZBS, but he's the best LT in the league right now. May be franchised.

Brent Grimes CB 30 Falcons--Is a very good CB, BUT, he torn his achilles and is 30.

Victor Cruz WR 26 Giants-- He is going to be restricted so maybe a lot of money and possibly picks.

Wes Welker WR 32 Patriots--Very good Slot WR, but will be 32, and not a Key need for us, but is better than our slot guy now, Moss.

Sebastian Vollmer OT 28 Patriots-- Solid RT. Definitely an upgrade with what we have now, he seems athletic for ZBS, but is occasionally injured.

Ed Reed FS 34 Ravens--Not much needs to be said here. IF he hit the market and is still willing to play, he's definitely worth a 1 year deal. Darren Sharper New Orleans comes to mind.

Ryan Clady OT 26 Broncos--Obviously he'd be a target with Shanahan drafting him, and him being a natural in the ZBS, but would Denver let him walk...

Jarius Bryd FS 26 Bills--Good FS, had an amazing rookie year, has been solid, is a good depth signing, could pan out better somewhere else.

Jason Jones DT/DE 27 Seahawks--Would be a great fit with the 3-4 being that he's played DE and DT in the 4-3 real well. 3-4 End depth?

Kenny Philips FS 26 Giants-- Division rival; solid FS.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB 27 Eagles--Very good, young, athletic CB, division rival.

Aqib Talib CB 27 Bucs--Very possible he'll be wearing our colors next year with CB need and Bruce Allen drafting him. Headcase off the field though.

LaRon Landry SS 28 Jets--Odds that he wants to come back here, slim to none..still crazier things have happened in this league in terms of returning.

Sam Shields CB 25 Packers--Solid 3rd string CB. Good returner as well.

Cary Williams CB 26 Ravens--Very solid rangy CB. Is he good because of his defense and the fact he plays opposite Webb? Or is he just good?

Jermon Bushrod OT 29 Saints--Hasn't had a good year this year and is used to being Brees LT blocking for all of 2 seconds for him.

Brandon Albert OT 28 Chiefs--Really solid tackle, would probably be a great RT here opposed to a LT in KC. Can also play OG and is athletic.

DJ Moore CB 26 Bears-- Very good CB, gets a lot of big picks.

DaShon Goldson FS 28 49ers--Probably the best young FS in the league. He can cover well and really level someone too.

Darrell Revis CB 28 Jets--He's not going anywhere, but he's the best CB in the NFL, hands down, and is worth the money.

Mike Jenkins CB

Sean Smith CB

Jabarri Greer CB

Quentin Jammer CB

Antonie Cason CB

Patrick Chung FS 26 New England-- gets injured often, but has experience and is solid when healthy.

Anotine Caldwell OG 26 Houston--knows our offense and is young.

I would be happy with any of the guys I put in bold - the rest i either dont see as a necessity rite now (cruz) or dont want because of age/injury/etc

Just because we are going to win them all though doesnt mean we cant continue to upgrade?

So they are going to be available tomorrow?

FA lists are more useful in February than October. It is nice to know early on who may be available, but a lot things change.

Can't you wait till the season is over or we are out of playoff contention to do so?

[los panda]

why wait? who cares? why give a thumbs down instead of not posting at all? don't listen to the hatters, cult.

if you don't want to discuss the topic, then don't. you don't have to hatt

Isn't it a moot point considering we are at the cap, and have a 18 mil cap charge against us from capgate?


I doubt we'll be spending much.

[los panda]

somewhere between none and much, i'm fairly certain we'll be signing a free agent. cult went through the trouble of researching and studying in advance, but you're free to cram when the exam approaches.

-18 million in cap space again will prevent us from filling huge needs.

what do you define as huge needs?

Thats what we said last year, and we ended up with Garcon, Morgan, Merriweather, Madieu Williams, Cedric Griffin, Tanard Jackson, Hightower, Grossman, Rackers and we still hadn't signed RG3 the rest of our rookies, and cundiff. So yes, we can still get a good FA or two. And like I said, this thread will be around all year, whether we win out or lose.

[ethat001]

I think we might be able to sign more FA prospects than we think despite cap limitations. Players may want to come to our team now that we have shown we are close to being very competitive. With RG3, we'll have our highlights / primetime games on ESPN, and so they could advertising money in a big market in addition to salary. Also, we could backload the contracts to pay them big in their second year.

Also, we get Chase Minifield and Tanard Jackson back next year. Both have big question marks but also some promise.
