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.

I'd still take him back, but in a more limited role and at a smaller salary. He's 32 now so I'm sure it was a case of wearing out. If he's wanting to at least match his 2018 pay than Well, bye.
It's really hard to call Allen Bailey overrated when people really didn't rate him much at all.
There has literally not been a single person on CP aggressively arguing that we needed to keep him and this place has all kinds of whackos.
Agree with your general premise though. He's at best slightly above the level of JAG. [Reply]

Debatable. I remember reading something from awhile back that suggested he should have fetched 12+ avg on the open market. Nearly spit my drink out. [Reply]

LOL. Okay, if that's remotely true, you clearly are correct. [Reply]

Stephen Jones on contract talks with DeMarcus Lawrence: "Right now, the best way to describe it is we’re at an impasse. We’re apart. But
certainly optimistic

The early projections for the CBs were way high - Darby at $14M per and Nelson at $12M per for example. Darby ended up signing a 1 year deal and Nelson got $8M per.
On the flip side, almost all of the safeties got more than they were projecting. [Reply]
