Free Agents Discussion

[ukcolt]

Campbell is not a long term solution, he might give you a couple of years decent service. But in my eyes he is not an elite defensive lineman, decent yeah, but likely to decline due to age.

Dontari Poe takes his free agent tour to Miami

[sherck]

Day 7:

From NFL.com Top 101 Free Agents:

#04 ILB Dont'a Hightower, NE
#08 RB Adrian Peterson, MIN
#10 NT Dontari Poe, KC
#11 DT Johnathan Hankins, NYG
#18 FS T.J. McDonald, LAR
#20 ILB Zach Brown, BUF
#34 TE Jared Cook, GB
#35 QB Jay Cutler, CHI
#37 WR Michael Floyd, NE
#39 ILB Kevin Minter, ARI
#42 RB Jamaal Charles, KC
#44 CB Morris Claiborne, DAL
#50 DE Jared Odrick, JAX
#52 RB Latavius Murray, OAK
#54 QB Brandon Carr, DAL
#56 RB LeGarrette Blount, NE
#57 DE Mario Williams, MIA
#60 DE Dwight Freeney, ATL
#63 SS Bradley McDougald, TB
#66 OC Nick Mangold, NYJ
#75 OT Ryan Clady, NYJ
#76 QB Colin Kaepernick, SF
#79 QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, NYJ
#81 OG D.J. Fluker, LAC
#84 OLB Erik Walden, IND
#86 QB Geno Smith, NYJ
#89 RB Christian Michael, GB
#90 RB DeAngelo Williams, PIT
#91 DE Devin Taylor, DET
#94 CB Nickell Robey-Coleman, BUF
#97 DE Chris Long, NE
#98 SS Jarius Byrd, NO
#100 CB/S Darius Butler, IND

3 ILB on that list (Hightower, Brown, Minter) and I would add Gerald Hodges, SF, to that list as being quality, full time starters that are all UFA. Still a good change that the Colts can sign one of them.

Poe or Hankins at NT. That is what we are down to if we are going to get help at the position in free agency.

T.J. McDonald, Morris Claiborne, Bradley McDougald, Nickell Robey-Coleman, Jarius Byrd or Darius Butler from that list for secondary help. I would love for us to see Butler back along with, perhaps, T.J. McDonald. I think top end CB help is going to have to come from the top of our draft with rookie growing pains.

Cheers,

I think there's a solid chance Poe signs here still. How could Miami afford to pay him what he wants when they already have almost $44 million tied up in their defensive line this year?

I'm told Dontari Poe is "very excited" about his impending visit w/ the #Dolphins. They were always near the top of his list. Now about $

They have about $16m left in this year's cap to sign new free agents. They have not signed anyone yet for big money; safety Nate Allen got $3.4m on his 1 year deal.

They play the Cheats twice a year. They want to bury them like HOU did in the first half of their playoff game. To do that, they need to dominate at the LoS. Poe will help them do that.

Other than John Simon, its been a pretty pathetic free agency.

Ballard better nail the draft.

Doubt it.

New contract plus Falls/Winters in Florida are pretty hard to beat whether its Jax or Miami.

Could the Colts be done dabbling in FA ??

[rcubed]

Why haven't the top ILBs signed anywhere?
