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.
2) be worth the opportunity cost Fuller/Ward provide. Fuller is in the last year of his deal and Ward has 2 years left before he needs paid. Signing Rhodes keeps one of them on the bench with the great Bashaud Breeland. [Reply]
I don't think Rhodes is significantly better than Trae Waynes. Waynes is younger and only had 1 year left on his deal. I'd rather have Waynes than Rhodes.
Then again I'd rather have PP than any of them. [Reply]

Xavien Howard
7 ints in 12 starts last year.
1 Ramsey (just don’t tell me how much it costs)
2 PP for probably a 2 this year and a conditional pick in next years draft
3 Howard for probably a 2 and would need a new deal for 15m+ per

Not sure who else could be traded for
Jordan Howard was who I hoped I was referring to. [Reply]

I’m not sure anyone can say he’s a lot better than Ward/Fuller without there being an interesting debate. Both are getting better the more they play and are very young.
If they trade for a vet CB, he needs to be a reliable all pro CB.
If they trade for a CB, it needs to be PP, Howard or Ramsey.
To deal for Rhodes, it would need to be a bargain...like a third. If that’s what it would take, I’m game.
How can anyone make any definitive statement regarding Ward? He started 3 games last year and people are acting like it's known he's a good player. [Reply]

Agreed. I'd like someone experienced and dependable in front of Ward for this year. I don't want to be forced to rely on him if he doesn't pan out. He definitely improved in his small sample size, but he's far from a proven stalwart. [Reply]

He seemed to play well, and flash some natural ability. My problem is, so did Marcus Cooper. I think it’s just too early to know, at this point. I would feel better if we added a solid corner. [Reply]

Completely agree with this. Not only do I not want to rely upon Ward....I don’t think any stock should be put into Breeland either. He was fairly subpar last year in Green Bay. [Reply]

:-) but subpar is an upgrade at corner aside from fuller [Reply]
