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.

He's pretty fast for an older guy. I think it would be cool if the Chiefs can get him. That would be scary to have Kelce, Cook, Tyreek, Sammy, & whoever else mixed with Mahomes' arm/playmaking. [Reply]

I see Speaks as the guy who they’ll view as Houston’s replacement. 5T, strong side DE. He’s gotta sink or swim.
So really, it’s either keep Ford at LEO or find someone else for that spot. [Reply]

Lucked out not trading for him for sure assuming that those rumors were true. Just like DAT he had a broken leg injury happen again to the same leg. I would only want to do a short term deal and he is going to be all about the guarantees [Reply]

Even though I wouldn’t have a problem with all D in the early part of the draft that would be a good move to address TE depth either long or short term and these are exciting prospects [Reply]

The thought of trading a 2nd round pick for Thomas only to see him break his leg and then walk in free agency is.... yeah. Fuck that.
LB Jamie Collins on a friendly deal wouldn’t piss me off. Plus he was released so like Hyde he wouldn’t count towards the comp pick formula next year [Reply]

yeah there are about 5 freaky good tight ends about to enter the draft. [Reply]
Sources in the running back market anticipate Le’Veon Bell wants $15-16 million per year on a new deal to be hashed out this week. The key, though, will be guarantees. That’s what held up the Steelers deal over the summer, according to Bell.

I haven’t watched any combine stuff but have it on DVR same with senior bowl. But wow with some of the pass rush prospects at LB and DE there’s a lot to like there. They have got some length/reach with the long arms which will have the 3/4 teams drooling but those guys will fit any D you put them in. Maybe that’s where they try to find their Barr type Sam LB or even Leo/weakside DE... a guy who could project to either. But the hype of this class in general and some options in FA that usually aren’t there make it easier with losing that much pass rush with Houston (9 sacks) Ford (13) and Bailey (6) all potentially leaving.
