Re: Free Agency Begins in a Week, Whats the Plan?

Hey all, lifelong 'skins fans (40+ years) and newbie to the board....

my take on the priority needs are...
1) Safety, 2) OLine, 3) ILB

I'd also like to see some upgraded play at...
4) CB, 5) WR, 6) NT, 7) More OLine

With $22M in cap space, I think there's room to address my top 3 priorities in FA.

I'd target Cap friendly upgrades, as opposed to Top Tier in each position. I'd be thinking to sign 3 FA's for a total cap hit of $15m or so, which should draw some definite upgrades at those positions.

If a restructured contract or two comes around, then I'd consider pursuing WR or CB in FA as well.

Other than that, I'd focus on building through the draft and trying to coach up other young players already on the roster.

Can only talk to players' agents and discuss parameters of a contract. Can't agree to the contract, though. On Tuesday after 4pm deals can become official, teams can meet with free agents, etc.

Orako knocked 11.5 mill off the top, they can still cut or restructure guys like Bowen though.
