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.
#Raiders FA TE Jared Cook, the top available player at his position, is scheduled to visit the #Saints tomorrow, source said. There is a void there right now.

Don’t get me wrong. Any deal with Verrett should be basically all incentives.
But if you’ve already got Fuller, Darby, Ward... you’re playing with house money at that position. You should be fine whether Verrett gets hurt or not. And again, that’s before the draft even comes. [Reply]

I can see Verrett being the Amerson role. Sign player for cheap and hope he works out [Reply]

Darby has played at a much higher level than Nelson in the recent past. I don't think he's going to take Nelson money. I think he's going to want more than that. [Reply]

Nelson has played more games and has had most INTs. He’s burnt toast but he is durable. If we get Darby from 2015 I’d give him 12-14 a year [Reply]
