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.
Looking at offseason deadlines, and I noticed that yesterday was a deadline for trades and making deals with restricted free agents, right? Does this mean that there won't be as much activity now? Do we wait for the draft now? Just not sure about what the process is, as this is one facet I've never paid much attention to before. [Reply]

The year before this last one Ragland looked very good. Considering that this year both he AND Hitchens looked horrible last year, which was a step down for both, I am willing to accept that it was coaching/philosophy that slowed them down. [Reply]

Now now. There are no stupid questions
But I’m not sure where you’re getting that info from? The free agency period started yesterday, officially. To my knowledge, the only trade deadline is in late Fall-ish. [Reply]

They have the cap space open now they can afford to take time with him and guys like Eric Murray to determine through ota’s and mini camp if a new staff can coach them up. To an extent you could throw McQuay in there as well [Reply]

However, Ragland IS super slow and you can't coach out slowness. [Reply]
