Free Agency Begins in a Week, Whats the Plan?

[Chico23231]

Free agency begin a week from today, what's the plan? Tags have been handed out, some players resigned with their teams and some vets have been cut.

Where do we spend money? What are we hearing as rumors-wise? Who do you want on this team? Who do we avoid? Give me your list.

Give me one player we must have and give me the Vinny contract we must avoid.


The Vinny contract for me is Eric Decker. The must have...D'qwell Jackson..or maybe Andre Collins

Do you mean Anthony Collins?

Where's a good site for the remaining free agents? I used to get insider which had good stuff. Just wondering if there is a free site with a good list.

Rotoworld.com has a list they update fairly regularly.

[KI Skins Fan]

There are very few "must have" players who ever hit FA. The last one I can recall was Peyton Manning. When you think about it, the "must have" FA is kind of a Vinny-like concept. That's how he got the Skins in so much trouble with Fat Albert. But I'd still like to play.

Like you, I would avoid Eric Decker and I would like to have Anthony Collins.

Here are some other FA players who I'd like the Skins to sign:

OT - Anthony Collins or Michael Oher
OG - Greg Schwartz and/or Chad Rinehart
OC - Evan Dietrich-Smith
WR - Kenny Britt
KR/PR/WR - Dexter McCluster or Jacoby Jones

FS - Mike Mitchell or Antoine Bethea or Chris Clemons (FS/SS)
CB - Aquib Talib or Sam Shields or Captain (USN) Munnerlyn
ILB - Perry Riley, and D'Qwell Jackson
DE - Randy Starks or Michael Johnson
NT - Terrance Cody

My plan is to watch the boards panic when we cant sign someone like Alex Mack or TJ Ward to a 5 year deal worth 8 million with nothing guaranteed

ahhh ... so the typical Skins fan reaction.

Same one that said "I hate Vinnie" and "Sign big names from other teams!"

[Chico23231]

^ Damn thats alot of people KI. I dont like your DE. Michael Johnson is a high risk signing and I think Minnesota is gonna make that mistake. They average 1 horrible signing a year, that might be Johnson.

Randy Starks? Rather have Tony Starks

I can't wait til we're on day 2 or 3 and people are pissed off wondering why we haven't signed... everyone.

lol iron man

My plan would be to avoid jumping into the pool during the initial wave. Focus on the middle tier of available players. Focus on good fits vs names.

[donofriose]

As long as they fall in love with the value, and not the player, any signing should be fine.

Hopefully they go the Seattle route and sign players based on value.

Its going to be a beautiful thing, agents will be throwing the SKINS name around, don't they realize we are under new management we pay wholesale price now.
