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.

A good GM should get 2 or 3 good players in this draft considering how many picks we have in the top 200.
Ok, call your shot with this. Define 2 or 3 good players. What do you consider a good player? [Reply]

Tag him in '19, draft a replacement either this year or next because no, they should not sign him long term regardless of 2019's outcome.
A long-term deal can be written to protect the team against injuries.
A long-term deal gives them more room to salvage 2019 with other free agents in the event that he gets hurt.
A long-term deal allows them to potentially get a good 2020 and 2021 out of him if he gets hurt in 2019.
Tagging him and keeping him has only 2 outcomes - he repeats 2018 or it's a disaster. If he gets hurt, 2019 is yet another wasted year. Pretty soon, Mahomes will be getting a contract and we will be talking about what could have been because this team was noodling around with brokedicks. [Reply]

Why would Ford or his agent take any deal that protects against injury for the team? He'll get $19M per year minimum on the market with no strings attached.
Ballard or Dorsey could give him $20M without blinking. [Reply]

But if he's so injury prone as you say, wouldn't it be more risky to sink a larger amount of money over a longer period into him? I mean, the likelihood he gets hurt in 19 wouldn't be much different than 20 or 21? [Reply]

I don't think he's really a long term answer. i don't think most people do.
The next tag would be at DE $, too. That’s more. [Reply]

Part of what makes Jones special IMO is his ability to win quick from the interior, much like Donald. I think you lose a lot if you consistently ask him to win on the edge. [Reply]
