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.

Maybe this is an ideal scheme for him, better be if they trade for him. I’m not sure there are many better options actually available for trade.
There's the rub.
We just don't know exactly what Spagnuolo is looking for.
And I'm gonna go back to what I said when we hired the guy - there's little in his track record that says we should view Spags as some kind of defensive genius, fellas. He has a LOT of shit on his resume. I'm not too certain I'm real gung-ho about "In Spags We Trust" here.
When I see a guy who's been pretty mediocre his entire NFL career and I have a DC who's put forward more clunkers over the last decade that merely decent defenses, I'm not sure how excited I am to just say "oh that's alright, he'll fix Waynes" and then throw cash/capital at him.
To my eyes, Spags needs talent just as much as any DC. He's not a guy who looks like he's gonna make chicken salad from chicken shit, be that an entire unit or an individual player. I can't really point to any instances of him doing so. [Reply]

Honestly, it would be pretty inexplicable if we just signed a bunch of other Damien Wilsons in FA at this point. How do you go so bold with Ford/Houston/Berry and then act otherwise? There must be some plan here to really retool things and we're in like the third inning of it. [Reply]

Well he did do really well with Corey Webster during his Giants run and well Waynes is a similar to him. [Reply]

What if it is just to get some good starters and then try to find some homeruns in the draft?

I called this days ago. Gronk can't play many games running and Brady can't throw the ball more that 15 yards. Dink and dunk is all they now besides run. [Reply]

I'm hoping they aren't just extending hill and Jones [Reply]
