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.

The other moves are OK. Ragland looked like he was on the rise and going to be a good one and then was just poor this past season.
Amerson was a cheap low risk signing. Same for Scandrick who was not that bad.
The money/year length isn't the issue. The issue is he thought Amerson could be the outside starting corner when Fuller was in the slot. That moved turned out to be a disaster.
When that failed, he signed Scandrick, who was benched later in the year [Reply]
I'm starting to wonder if the idea of getting Earl Thomas to pair with Mathieu wasn't just us being opportunistic when Thomas's market was softer than expected, but was actually our plan. [Reply]

The Eagles were already well-stocked at cornerback before they brought back Ronald Darby on a one-year deal. Shorr-Parks doesn't anticipate the Eagles moving on from Sidney Jones, Cre’von LeBlanc or Avonte Maddox, which could leave either Mills or Douglas as the odd man out. Mills, a seventh-round pick in 2016, missed the latter half of 2018 with a sprained foot. Despite starting 25 games in his three seasons, Mills has never been a true difference-maker.

I’m right there with you man. A lot of work ahead needs to be done, especially corner, pass rush, LB and another safety [Reply]

Bummer part: “Kansas City had a one-year, $12 million deal on the table to pair Thomas with Tyrann Mathieu, which looked like it was going to get done.” https://t.co/Ry63H3FEzR
