We don't really have one of these yet, so figured we could use this as a place to discuss potential free agent acquisitions and what we would like to look for them to bring in.
If any of you guys are interested, heres a good place to do some research.

Am I alone here, or does it really seem like Reid and Veach are on completely opposite ends of the fence with Berry?
I get the sense from Veachs actions (trying to sign Thomas last year, trying to trade for Collins, Possibly signing Collins in FA) that he’s going to release Berry (or he wants to) and use that $ on a different safety but that Reid wants Berry around another year. Reid even said right after the NE game that Berry would be back and that’s a bright spot going forward.
Maybe another situation similar to Maclin and Reid/Dorsey where the G.M. having final say on personnel makes a decision to cut an injury plagued player, that’s overpaid but one Reid has a relationship with, happens?
I don't think you can take anything being said this early in the offseason as written in stone. Coach speak is coach speak.
Berry's future probably depends more on what they can do in FA or the draft really, they don't have to cut him before they figure out what their real options are. [Reply]

1. He's a RB, which is a position that's fairly easy to fill via draft picks.
2. He's going to command a pretty hefty salary and this is a team that has many needs outside of RB. [Reply]
