Deep, for sure, but I'm not sure how many available players actually help us build.
In free agency, we can improve with:
- a starting RG
- any defensive player with experience in Pittsburgh's system.
But beyond that, I'm not sure whats out there that makes us a better team. The receiver class is very deep, and we certainly need some help there, but which player would come to Washington to be part of a rebuilding project? Breaston, maybe? Rice would be a killer signing, but he's possibly the most sought-after free agent on the market, if not the Vikings' franchise player.
The easiest position to improve through free agency would be the quarterback position, but there are no great names out there. All QBs who were once drafted in the first round and will be available in FA include:
Peyton Manning
Michael Vick
Matt Leinart
Byron Leftwich
Alex Smith
Kerry Collins
Rex Grossman
Kyle Boller
Plus one name I find to be most intriguing for the Shanahan system if/when he hits the market: Drew Stanton.
Vick and Manning obviously aren't coming here. Maybe we're interested in one of the other 6? Or Grossman plus one other.
I would not resign Grossman. I would bring in ONE of those free agents above, and draft TWO quarterbacks in the draft. That's how I would handle it.
