2019 Free agency Thread
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. https://overthecap.com/ |

True, but can he be counted on? I think we all don’t believe he can any longer.
The thing for me is I would much rather pay Collins, a player who could potentially be great to elite in this defense based on recent history, than to overpay up for a decent corner who won’t ever be much more than above average. And that’s how the CB market feels right now. I felt the same way about Watkins last year. If I’m gonna buy in FA and overpay like many teams do, give me someone who is a true game changer. I see the $$ going to the safety position primarily. |

Give Honey Badger $$. He’s a younger Earl Thomas caliber player. |

You have me confused with someone. I never made any argument of the sort. He's worth whatever the market dictates he's worth, which is likely in the $15M range or higher.

He's strictly a FS at this point and not even that great of one, he got beat repeatedly in coverage last year. |

Collins will get abused by good teams manipulating him into coverage. It's bound to happen and we will complain about it when it does. |

Honey Badger got absolutely worked in the playoff game against the Colts. I’m not in love with that idea either considering his injury history.

Reminds me of when everyone labeled Berry a Box Safety. Or how People talk about James as a Box Safety. Dafuq.
Just because a guy can tackle and thump doesn't make him just a box safety. |

This.
Until they move on from Eric Berry, signing a guy like Collins is not only expensive but redundantly expensive. They REALLY need a FS and it's not a great market for them. Earl Thomas is obviously great IF he's healthy but breaking the leg in the same place twice is a big red flag. |

If you're going to pay that much for a safety, go pay Earl, give him some stem cells and HGH and hold your breath.
