Here are my thoughts. Probably going to be long and not make any sense....but whatever.
OFFENSE QB: Mahomes is your starter and I would be looking to trade Smith. I don't see the need to go out and sign a backup QB. They've kept Bray around FOREVER. He knows the offense and can be a serviceable backup QB on the cheap. I'd look at drafting a late round developmental QB or an UDFA that Reid can work with to replace Bray in a year or two. RB: We're good at RB. Hunt is cheap and West is a good 3rd string RB. Hunt/Ware/West. Nothing needed. FB: Obviously re-sign Sherman. WR: We are actually good at WR next year. Hill, Robinson, Conley and Chesson. Depending on the money....I'd honestly look at bringing back Wilson if he's on the cheaper side. TE: We need to go out and draft or sign a TE. Harris can get the **** off this team. We need to go pick up a blocking TE as our #2. If he has hands.....awesome. OT: Fisher and Schwartz are the obvious starters. We need a swing tackle and preferably one that we can work on building up to take over for Fisher in two years. OG/OC: I'm combining these together for one reason and one reason only. It's time to re-sign Fulton and make him our starting center. Take Morse and move him to LG. It fixes two issues. Other than that...the offensive line is pretty well set. DEFENSE DE/DT - I would re-sign Logan and cut/trade Bailey. Bailey is never healthy and honestly hasn't gotten better over the last couple of years. We need to find another DE on the other side of Jones to help out the defensive line. ILB - It looks like we're pretty good at this position. KPL and Ragland are your 2018 starters and Eligwe hopefully can come in off the bench. OLB - This is where two of our draft picks need to be spent. Hali can get the **** off this team and he can take Ford with him. Hopefully between Houston, Nicholas, Kpass and a rookie can bring some heat off the edge. CB - This and safety are going to be the biggest positions of turnover (I believe). Going into the offseason....our CB list is Peters, Revis, Nelson and Ashton Lampkin. I think we should try and bring back Mitchell on a team friendly deal (if possible). That at least gives us our starting four CBs. Here's where it gets interesting. If Revis proves to be at least 80% of his island days....then you keep him on....even with the ridiculous $8 million in bonus money. Because if Veach decides to trade Peters....you're going to need a #1 CB. If we trade Peters....then you take that pick and you find the best CB available on the FA market and sign him to be your #2. S - This needs a complete ****ing overhaul. We need two safeties because I'm cutting Ron Parker. We can't cut Sorensen (thanks Dorsey) but he needs to be your #3 or #4 safety at best. Find a true FS and put Berry at SS. Let him cover TEs and provide run support. Top 10 offseason moves. 1. Trade Smith. 2. Cut DJ. 3. Cut Hali. 4. Cut Ford. 5. Cut/Trade Bailey 6. Cut Parker. 7. Re-sign Logan. 8. Re-sign Mitchell. 9. Re-sign Sherman. 10. If you're trading Peters....then sign best available CB on the market. |

Go young/old. There's more than a few QBs that would love to carry the clipboard and hang out with Andy Reid for a year. Quote:

Do you re-sign Jenkins? Quote:

So... keep him, and use that 2nd rounder on passrusher. Houston, Ford, Kpass, the rookie, and Nicholas. Zombo can even stick around if necessary -- all of a sudden we've got a good, deep roster group. Quote:
What I think this team needs to do is outbid the rest of the NFL for Trumaine Johnson. He's a perfect fit for Sutton's defense and the Rams are letting him go. Johnson/Peters with Nelson in the slot. That's gold. You let Revis go (I think)... Lampkin can stay and invest a draft pick or three at the back end of the roster. Quote:
Once we get Berry back, we'll be solid here again. Although, yeah, I'm probably buying a safety on the free agency market too. |

That's why you have Berry, though. Parker's meant to keep the lid on the top of the defense.
The guy I'm really upset about is Sorensen. He's proven that he's not very good and Dorsey wrapped up a lot of money in this guy. |

Trumaine Johnson is going to cost someone a ton of money. He's playing on the franchise tag which is $16.7 million right now. You have to figure that he's going to push to be made the highest paid CB this offseason. If you sign him to play opposite of Peters...than you're pretty much saying that Peters is gone after his rookie deal.

Because if you're not spending a ton of money at CB, then where are you going to spend it? What big name free agents are going to hit the market? I don't think anybody is -- but I'd take a good look at the DL. I just don't think there's anybody out there, and we have no first round pick. |
