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/ |

Actually, if we had#29, #30 and two #2's (or #29 and 3 #2's)-
with Collins and Barr- I think I'd take Adderley at #29 and the best DE/Edge guy on your board along with TWO CORNERS. You're gonna need 'em, grow 'em and develop them yourself. And I'd probably take one in the second round every year, forever, whether you think you need one or not. Because you will, sooner or later, and if you've always got one in the wings you never have to pay a Steve Nelson $12 ****ing million dollars a year. |

One area where Barr and Collins both excel is blitzing. They’re great at it, and those exotic pressures are a cornerstone of Spagnuolo’s scheme.

Is the bank going to have to be broken to get Jordan Hicks?

I doubt Veach is willing to move on from Hitchens that soon; and it's clear that Hitchens was signed to be our MLB. You could play Hicks at WSLB, but I think that was the plan for D'OD and I think he showed enough to move forward with him there. |

Wow Barr and Collins would be huge with I'd assume 4 top 100 picks?

Just a little dot connectin’.
Now my hypothetical question becomes this: if you sign Barr to be your SAM, Hitchens is MIKE, and DOD is WILL, who plays in your sub packages? I would assume they go Barr/Hitchens in nickel and use DOD for some long yardage/matchup specific situations. Maybe against teams with great receiving backs you replace Hitchens with DOD more. Now that I envision it, I like the potential of blitzes with all three of those guys. A good problem to have I suppose. Moves like Barr/Collins scare a lot of fans because they can be expensive, but I view them more as necessary risks to get over that SB hump. |

I'd literally be okay with a #1 or early #2 DE paired with an inexpensive vet to get Collins and Barr. The DL stunts and crosses that NE and Spagnuolo have used in the past will make up for the youth, I think. And you won't be able to run on us. |

The CEO of my company is from Minnesota and watches the Vikings every week, he also played college ball.
He said that Barr sometimes has effort issues - but when he's 'dialed in' he's one of the best in the league. |

And while some would probably say it isn’t ideal to pay large sums of money to two off ball LBs such as Barr and Hitchens, I would counter by saying it’s even less ideal to not aggressively pursue upgrades at the position just because you haven’t saw full return on investment yet from Hitchens. It’s much the same philosophy for me with Berry and the safety position. Contract hasn’t worked out, that sucks. But don’t let that keep you from doing all you can to get better at the position. |

I’ll admit though that I don’t expect Barr to be a Chief based on the things I’ve read. Sounds like some teams, such as the Jets or Lions, are prepared to pay him huge amounts of money.
