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 thing is, it's not either/or.
They can load up for 2019 without killing 2020 and beyond. You just have to be smart about it. You can't go all Dan Snyder and expect it to work. [Reply]
Trading Ford, cutting/trading Houston and then cutting Berry, Sorenson, Murray and Ragland gives you the following cap space.
2019: $44 million
2020: $98 million
In 2020....you could realistically get out of the following deals and save cap space.
Watkins - $14 million in cap savings and $7 million in dead money.
Fisher - $9.5 million in cap space and $2.5 million in dead money.
Erving - $3.25 million in cap space and $1.4 million in dead money.
Your major free agents that you're looking at bringing back that year would be Hill (if not already extended), Fuller and Chris Jones. [Reply]
Multiple teams approached the Chicago Bears at the combine last week and discussed a potential trade for RB Jordan Howard, per league sources. Discussions ongoing.

Good post. You could easily fit Bell in there in a contract like Watkins and have a healthy exit option in year 3. [Reply]
Nah I think it'd be cool, Bell is a monster I don't care what anyone says, he's big he fast he has a ton of talent and his hands are second to none. [Reply]

Plus if you get a 2nd round pick for Ford.....that gives Veach 9 picks to hopefully add quality depth and a couple of starters that will be cheap for the next 4-5 years. [Reply]
