2013 Free Agents

The best player who will be available on a one year deal is going to be Pac Man Jones.

But Greg Toler and Derek Cox are excellent players as well who will fit our scheme. They'll just cost a bit more. As will Aqib Talib.

This is just a question. Do you think Talib would be worth the off-field troubles?

Cox hasnt played a complete season yet has he? Heard he is solid, but injury prone. I think Talib gonna get in the 6 million range, too high for us and I think Talib is done with effing up.

I'm sure Bill Bellichick will brainwash Talib to stay in New England for less money.

One thing to remember about off the field troubles, re: Jones and Talib is that players are at the biggest risk of getting themselves into trouble when they are younger. When you're talking about 26, 27, 28 year old guys, you typically aren't dealing with immaturity.

I mean, when was the last time Ben Roethlisberger was in the news for something negative? 2 maybe 3 years ago? There was a time not too long ago where the Steelers were legitimately considering parting ways.

There's always Brandon Lloyd or DeAngelo Hall types who never grow up, sure, but character is a much larger concerns with draft prospects because many ARE going to get in trouble and lose years off their pro careers.

I haven't heard if Atlanta has resigned Brent Grimes. If not, he would be a good replacement. Aqib Talib or Dunta Robinson would be some other options. Still not sure about Charles Woodson; he's talented, no question, but he is a bit slow in my opinion.

37, cannot run. Pass.

Talib will stay now that New England has the money to resign him with Tom Brady redoing his deal. They got a lot of cap space. May be able to resign Welker and vollmer

You can't look at the Hall situation in a vacuum. It's not who can we get for 8 mil that would be that good.

First off, Hall isn't even going to make 8 million next year, and he knows that. So asking the question who can we get for 8 mil next year to fill his spot, is a moot point. So the question is who can we get for 4 million? And is said player going to take reps from a possibly emerging Minnifield/Crawford down the line, due to guaranteed contract? Will said player take the free agent, I've been paid plunge? Will said player alter our drafting strategy and prevent us from drafting a CB?

I personally would like to see what Hall can do with descent safety play behind him in the scheme. One thing Hall can do is make a play on the ball, with a better pass rush and a safety that can allow Hall more leeway to take those chances, we may see a much better performance from Hall.

IMO this season we should acquire a CB either via draft/FA but I don't think said DB should be our #1 CB, or at least expected to be. If he pulls a Sherman and emerges, that's all the better for the Skins. But the last thing I want to do, is go spending 8 mil on a new #1 CB.

I would drop hall to 4-4.5 mil a year. Grab a RT, MLB, and a safety in FA with the rest.
