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.

For sure you get him cheap.
Asking Ray to play regular defensive snaps is a farce though. Injured all the time. You don’t replace a Houston or Ford with a rotational pass rusher. [Reply]

As much as that stance irritates me, I honestly would rather eat the $21 and play Houston, tag and trade Ford and draft Houston's replacement with the low #1 or high #2 you'd get for Ford.
It's going to be a difference of like $4 million. and I think Houston's a better all around player. Then you can cut Houston in 2020 if the draftee looks ready to carry the load. You're better set up for the future. [Reply]

My hope was tag Ford and not trade him and keep Houston with a paycut. I'm good with Houston being released though.
I never liked that big contract that he got so if he is still going to ask for more guaranteed or anything, he can leave and thank you for everything. [Reply]

there was never a realistic scenario in which you could get Houston's number down far enough to keep both and do anything else at all of any significance in free agency. Like literally nothing.
They would also play the same position; so you'd only get them both on the field in nickel. So you'd be paying Houston to play 60% of the snaps. Or Ford. Either way, you'd only get them both 60% of the time. [Reply]
