Upcoming Off-Season Thread

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ok...who do you want them to target in FA?

Which of their own FAs do you want back?


Will they foolishly let McCoy go?


I'd like to see them go after Byron Maxwell from Seattle and Revis (assuming NE doesn't pick up his crazy '15 option). The secondary has to be rebuilt.

[Munson]

Randall Cobb

Go after any and all secondary in the draft and FA

Draft or pick up a young OL or two in case some of the old guys start to suck or lose it.

[Don Ho]

Cobb would be an amazing pickup.  Any stud Safety/CB FA would be nice.  Williams, Fletcher, I'm not even sold on Jenkins.  They all stink.  Don't think there's a whole lot out there though.  DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT a secondary.

[AshishPatel81]

Most free agents I am interested in will surely be retained by their teams. I'd love them to get one of Dez, Demaryius Thomas, Revis, Houston. I think all of them will probably be retained by their current teams, although I have no idea how in the farg Denver would afford to keep Thomas. They sign like 3 massive contracts every year. The only one of those I think that has a chance to bolt is Revis, because Belichick doesn't farg around. Gives you a contract offer and if you bluff, you are pretty much outta there. Showed that with Talib and Welker.

Those are really the only names I know of. Haven't really looked down the list yet. They absolutely gotta get another WR, CB, S, and LB though. Ryans with that achilles is probably shot... and sometime soon they have to start looking at the offensive line. Guys getting older on that line.

difficult to predict exactly what they can/will do until the qb market comes into view

they know its the most important thing....unlikely a game-changer becomes available, but impossible to say now. if you keep foles:

-mccourty
-d thomas (and maclin)
-byron maxwell....plus a restructuring of cary williams

in the draft i go guard and ILB.

[ice grillin you]

a field stretching split end is priority one...that's not to say this is more important than upgrading the secondary but its much easier to get a wr than a top notch cb..and ive said it a million times but when you have a supposed offensive genius as your head coach and billy farging davis as your DC you basically are announcing to the world that you are trying to win with offense....therefore you must stock your offensive with as many weapons as possible to make it unstoppable...this is even more so when you don't have a good qb...all this is why letting go of pimp without replacing him was one of the dumbest things ever

secondary help...again if you can get what you think is a future shut down corner in the draft then go for it....but they don't come by too often...safety is the far more likely area to be significantly upgraded....im not saying the corners wont be different...fletch is obviously gone and maybe Williams too but I wouldn't assume there is going to be much of an upgrade at either spot...its a hard position to give a big offseason bump at

trent cole has to be replaced at olb....he gives his all and much props for adhering to a totally new role but your biggest hope when hes in the game is that he doesn't farg up....put him on the edge and he can still get his hand ful of sacks but you aren't expecting him to actually make plays in space on the outside...they need a tru 3-4 backer there who can be dynamic....oh plus hes old with a ton of mileage...peace out and good luck at one of those halftime things that no one stays in their seats for

mentioned this a few weeks ago but the offensive line is ripe for a complete collapse at anytime...3/5's of it is in their 30's....3/5ths of it has had a season long injury at some point in the last two years and the one guy who isn't in either of those categories is addicted to adderal...this area of the team is such a tricky proposition tho...if what you have comes back and doesn't fade or doesn't get hurt then you can make the argument that nothing here nees to be done...and why should you waste draft picks on starting lineman that may not start when you can help other areas....but at the same time can you keep ignoring the future of the OL and have a calamity on your hands in a couple of years....I think you need to take your chances and ride it out next season....its a win now league and the team and especially chip doesn't have the luxury of using high picks to get a OL of the future....if they had a trustworthy player personnel dept then something you might be able to do is get an OG in the 3rd or 4th round who ends up beating out one of the incumbents...the reason dallas is so different this year than in years past is the OL....I would give a few years off my life to have that unit going forward

[smeags]

needs

1- secondary
2- anything else

[Diomedes]

I'd give all the rest of your life for it.

[BigEd76]

The Birds are one of 18 teams interested in Hamilton CB Delvin Breaux.  6'1" 195, played at LSU and also spent time in the Arena League.  Can't sign until after Feb 10

[Don Ho]

mentioned this a few weeks ago but the offensive line is ripe for a complete collapse at anytime...3/5's of it is in their 30's....3/5ths of it has had a season long injury at some point in the last two years and the one guy who isn't in either of those categories is addicted to adderal...

This will be the next major issue on this team after the secondary.  Very concerning. 

[ice grillin you]

it might or it might not next year but its coming sooner rather than later....the question is how do you walk that fine line between putting too much of an emphasis on it in 2015 versus taking the chance that whatever additions you make this year get derailed in 2-3 years because the OL sucks

i leave it alone this year especially since they dont have a young QB they are grooming...does it really matter what happens next year to nick foles...also OL is a position you can improve in a very short amount of time

[MDS]

lane is going to be here forever
jp they just long termed
kelce i think has many years left

i get what youre saying, but outside of replacing a youngin for herremans...im not sure how they can get younger

[phattymatty]

get players even younger than the ones now.

like matty said  what are you talking about...you could get younger replacements for both guard positions immediately and/or a young future tackle for peters who is is ready for a step back at any time....the question is do you want to do those things now or later...the question definitely isnt "how do you get younger"

fyi the length of nfl deals means nothing

[SD]

The O line is a fixable problem. The depth after the starters is beyond bad, the dropoff from starter to back up is way too noticeable. The problem is they've only drafted one O lineman in the past 2 years (Lane Johnson). Usually you take guys in the later rounds and groom them as depth.
