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.

My mistake - you still have $12.5 in dead money, not $15M. I forgot about the guaranteed salary.
However, he has $15.5 million due. If you trade him, $12.5 of that is still on the books. Yay, you saved $4.5M, but you still have $12.5M in dead money.
Post-June 1 takes that down to $6.95M in dead money.
I still think a trade would have to involve some version of signing bonus being taken on by the new team. Post June 1 is more likely. [Reply]

Can you embed the tweet? If we trade Berry we better be damn sure he isn’t healthy enough to contribute. [Reply]

Trade EB, sign Earl.
You really think we’d look at this option if Berry is still going to be counting against our cap even with a trade? I would have thought if the brass was thinking like this they would have signed Amos. [Reply]
Former Seahawks’ S Earl Thomas intends to sign a four-year, $55 million deal that includes $32 million fully guaranteed at signing with the Baltimore Ravens, league source tells ESPN. Deal includes $22 million in first nine months.
Completing the bounce-back year for a safety market. There were 3 A-level players in this market -- Earl Thomas, Landon Collins, Tyrann Mathieu -- and all topped Eric Berry's $13 million average that had been the bar at the position. https://t.co/YV1vWlWkGA
