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.

Dude did you know Calvin didn't do any of the short area drills? Go back and look at his chart, he was a DNP on the 10 yard/short shuttle and all that. [Reply]

If they aren't gonna pay and keep him, or if he's gone now, that frees up some cash.
No way I'm after Clowney knowing what the cost would be. Look at what Dee Ford cost and then start adding zeroes. No way. [Reply]

I know. I don't really knock those big dudes for not doing that stuff, it's just not physically possible for them to be that great at it.
But DK looks like a greek statue, that's no joke. He's fast.
I just don't think he's that great of a WR. [Reply]

He'd cost quite a bit. He's actually better than Ford and produces though. He's perfectly built and a fit in this defense though so I wouldn't have a problem paying him. [Reply]
5. Bengals trade John Ross to the Chiefs
Chiefs get: John Ross
Bengals get: 2019 fifth-round pick (167th overall)
If the Bengals are actually shopping John Ross, then the Chiefs might want to think about giving them a call. With Tyreek Hill under investigation for alleged battery involving a juvenile, the addition of Ross would give the Chiefs some insurance in case Hill's legal situation takes a turn for the worse. Although Ross was a top-10 pick in 2017 (ninth overall), it's highly unlikely the Bengals will be able to get anything close to that in return. A fourth-round pick could potentially make sense here, but the Chiefs don't have one, so we're going to have them offer their fifth-round pick.
Although Ross has struggled for the better part of two seasons, the 24-year-old has shown some flashes of talent. In 2018, Ross' receiving numbers weren't eye-popping (21 catches for 210 yards), but he did catch seven touchdown passes, including five that came inside the 10-yard line, which was tied for the fourth most in the NFL from inside the 10 last season. Ross would also get the chance to play with Patrick Mahomes, who has a slightly stronger arm than Andy Dalton, which basically means the Chiefs quarterback is way better equipped to take advantage of Ross' speed (Ross set the 40 record at the NFL combine in 2017).
