My Free Agency "Wish List"
As the title says, here is whom I hope that Ballard is looking at and can land a couple of them:
DE Trey Flowers, NE, 26 LB Jordan Hicks, PHI, 27 SS Landon Collins, NYG, 25 SS Adrian Amos, CHI, 26 CB Ronald Darby, PHI, 25 DE Za'Darius Smith, BAL, 26 DT Sheldon Richardson, MIN, 28 CB Steven Nelson, KC, 25 CB Bryce Callahan, CHI, 27 SS LaMarcus Joyner, LAR, 28 DT Timmy Jernigan, PHI, 26 DT David Irving, DAL, 26 So, my dream scenario is: DE: One of Flowers or Smith (I am pretty high on Smith) DT: One of Richardson, Jernigan or Irving LB: Jordan Hicks or roll with Walker for 2019 SS: One of Collins, Amos or Joyner (I am pretty high on Amos) CB: One of Darby, Nelson or Callahan If we could do that and re-sign Geathers for Safety-3 duties while retaining Farley on the RFA tag, then I think our defense would be well poised to accept BPA defensive draftees at just about any position anywhere in the draft. That is my wish list for free agency. What is yours? Walk Worthy,

DE Trey Flowers, NE, 26 - I think he's the best edge left and better than some of the guys that got tagged. I would be happy to pay him. His production was limited in the NE scheme, see what Chandler Jones has done since going to AZ.
LB Jordan Hicks, PHI, 27 - Meh. Draft somebody or stick with Walker or pay CJ Mosley. SS Landon Collins, NYG, 25 - I'm good with it but some of the other safeties in FA are good too. SS Adrian Amos, CHI, 26 - Like this guy. CB Ronald Darby, PHI, 25 - Yes. DE Za'Darius Smith, BAL, 26 - I'm wary of one-year-wonders whose teams don't re-sign them. They are keeping (or trying to keep) 80 year old Terrell Suggs but not their young buck pass rusher. Why? DT Sheldon Richardson, MIN, 28 - As long as he doesn't act stupid. He's done a lot of that. But he stayed quiet this year. He's talented. But not really a culture fit. CB Steven Nelson, KC, 25 - No idea. CB Bryce Callahan, CHI, 27 No idea. SS LaMarcus Joyner, LAR, 28 - Another safety that would be fine, though my impression is that he was a disappointment with the Rams. DT Timmy Jernigan, PHI, 26 - Good fit at NT but his back injury is a concern. DT David Irving, DAL, 26 - He will get suspended for weed again so probably not, even though he is talented and a perfect fit for Eberflus' defense. Last edited by FatDT; 03-05-2019 at 11:58 AM. |

@JasonLaCanfora A market is definitely forming for Terrell Suggs. Very real possibility he is not back in Baltimore next season |

I read they made Suggs an offer the other day and made an assumption. Maybe they lowballed him and he's mad.
I'm still wary of Smith. |

Here's my rough list. I think this could be reasonable to expect.
QB: none RB: none WR: Adam Humphries (slot), or Tyrell Williams (but I expect bidding to be too high) +59 or 90 TE: none OL: I'd look to add a veteran guard on a one year deal. Levitre might fit the bill. +mid-round pick EDGE: (one of) Preston Smith, or Shaq Barrett, or Shane Ray +26 or 34 DL: depth signing (e.g. Hunt) +26 or 34 +mid-round pick LB: I'd like to add a veteran to compete at SAM. Maybe a guy like Vincent Rey or Kyle Emanuel. +mid/late pick CB: none +mid/late pick S: Landon Collins, or Adrian Amos Last edited by VeveJones007; 03-05-2019 at 12:16 PM. |

QB: None RB: None WR: Golden Tate or Tyrell Williams and Dontrelle Inman TE: None OL: None DE: Anthony Barr DT: Tim Jernigan and Margus Hunt OLB: None ILB: Kwon Alexander or C.J. Mosley FS: None SS: Adrian Amos or Landon Collins and Clayton Geathers CB: Pierre Desir That's a lot of spending (my estimate is $60-70 million on that group), but it would allow the Colts to focus almost exclusively on BPA in the draft, with DE and DT being the biggest areas of need, followed by CB, S, and WR. |

I wonder about Barr as a DE. Mike Zimmer is smart, he knows defense. Why would he play Barr as an off-the-ball LB?
And can he still be effective as a down lineman after playing so long standing up and in space? |

I prefer Alexander because he's coming off of injury and will likely come at a bargain price. I likely wouldn't go after Mosley, but this is ideal, which isn't necessarily realistic. I don't think Mosley is a realistic add, but Alexander could be a bargain find in the mold of Eric Ebron.
