2014 NFL Offseason (Free Agency & Trades)

JDouble · 2014-01-08T13:55:31Z

I was hoping to get this stickied and have everyone contribute any opinions, articles, or rumors there deem worthy. I think it's going to be a big and very important FA period for the Bucs.I think the most glaring points about this FA class and how it pertains to our roster needs, is that there are no real options at OG or TE, but there are a lot of good options at DE as well as WR depth. One the o-line, I see two good option at Center. Evan Dietrich-Smith and Alex Mack. Nicks and Joseph are both big question marks, so if we sign Mack, we can move Zuttah back to guard. Evan Dietrich-Smith is another good Center in his prime, and he can also play guard. If Nicks retires and we cut Joseph....we might want to try and sign both of these guys. We'd have to pay them both good money, but it would still be less than what Nicks and Joseph have been costing us,At DE there is Jared Allen and Justin Tuck. Both are older guys that would probably only last 2 or 3 years.....but that is a lifetime in NFL terms. There is also Greg Hardy, Brian Orakpo, and michael Johnson if we want to go younger. Michael Bennett is a real option as well now that Schiano and Dom are gone. Julius Peppers is not a FA, but his contract balloons to $18M this year and he will almost certainly be cut. He is old and not what he use to be....but he could still be an option for us.At WR there is nobody to break the bank on, but we already have our #1 and #2 anyways. What we need is a solid #3 as well as better depth at #4 and #5. There are quite a few options. My best fit would be Andre Roberts. Dexter McCluster might be a real possibility considering how much Lovie has stressed the importance of a great kick and punt returner. Devin Hester is there too, but he is 31 and probably not a good signing at this point. At CB there isn't a lot. I think Peanut Tillman makes a lot of sense. He is getting old and coming off injury, so he won't be too expensive, and he makes a lot of sense. Sam Shields is a great young corner and world be a huge upgrade as our Nickel. That's about all I got right now. Feel free to share and contribute.

Damn! Pats gave Browner 17 mil for 3 years. I like the player, but that is pretty high for a guy one blown test away from a season suspension.

Colts sign Nicks to a 1 year deal. 3.5 mil with another 2 mil in incentives is what's being reported. Question: Don't teams now have to account for the full potential of incentives now in that season's cap? Posted : Mar. 14, 2014 10:00 pm Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest Damn!

Not really a risk for the Patriots, if Browner gets suspended its not like that Patriots would have to pay him.

They are going all out to try and stop Peyton next season and get 1 more superbowl before Brady is done .

Still like WR Damien Williams and DL CJ Wilson. OL Ebron Britton too. All should be very cheap.
