Lesser FA favourites

[NinerSickness]

Who are some of your favourite lesser FAs?

I posted this on the hypothetical Peyton-siging thread, but I didn't want to change that thread's subject so I'll make a new one.

Who are some lesser FAs you'd want the Niners to sign? Maybe guys who'd sign for around 2-3 Million or less.

Last year my favourites were Tyler Brayton & Alan Branch, but now Branch may have proven too valuable to be a lesser FA any more.

This year my favourites would be Brayton for under a mill' and Manny for maybe 2-3 Million? Ironically I wanted him to walk last offseason...

Some other guys I'd consider:

Corey Redding
Aubrayo Franklin
Will Allen
Tommy Harris
Andre Caldwell
Gerrard Warren
Adam Carriker
Shaun Rogers

This is an un-popular opinion, but I'd also offer Rachal a minimum contract before FA hits & see if he bites; I'd tell him he's going to compete for a backup C spot.

I'd also be interested to see if Kareem McKinzie would sign for cheap & move to RG. No idea if they VaGiants want him back or not, but he' definitely not the same player he used to be at RT.

I'd also be interested in seeing if Sergio Kindle is going to make it in the NFL or not. He had some SERIOUS issues (I always said something about him just didn't seem right after that car crash in college). He'll be an exclusive rights FA I think. Brooks came off the trash heap; maybe Kindle will get it together. The main thing he has t---- ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Andre Caldwell is a guy I'd go after.

Andre Caldwell is a guy I'd go after.

The funny thing is I can't find his arrest record. He was a Bungal, so I'm assuming he has one.

I like Caldwell as well. He could probably be had for a decent price and I haven't seen his name come up much. Early Doucet is another guy I'm interested in.

Dashon Goldson disapproves.

 

[numone9er]

Was he the one he fought with? I can't remember who it was.

 

[CalamityX11]

I would be ok bringing Rachal back at a min. He's still young and quite a buff, but just not football smart, hopefully another Harb year will do it for him?(not looking for him to be a starter at all!)

With Dobbs and Ian Williams going into their 2nd year, i wish/expect them to bring more on sundays so I'm not ready to write them off for a carriker, rodgers etc....

Will Allen is a vet at the secondary i would be ok with.

 

[BINGO]

FAs I'd bring in to camp:
Drew Stanton
Matt Forte (if for some odd reason/s he'd take less to come here than to stay in ChiTown)
Braylon Edwards (call me phucking crazy but I'd give it another shot)
Ben Grubbs (if we can't land Carl Nicks)
John Abraham (see Matt Forte)
Shaun Ellis (From a basketball standpoint he'd be our version of 6th man. Need serious depth for Ray and Justin)
Paul Soliai (Sopoaga and Soliai can intimidate opposing teams before kickoff simply by leading our men in a Haka chant)
Shaun Rogers (I just like him. If we're unable to lure Soliai to us..)
Michael Griffin (He just looks like a 9er. If we're unable to keep Dashon)

I like the Shaun Ellis interest.

No comment for Drew?

Give up on Drew!!!!! Tolzien is our 3rd stringer of the future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

muahahhahahaahahahhaha

Tolbert is a better version of Dixon. Better short yardage guy, and has shown he can carry the load and catch the ball when the main guy goes down. 21 touch downs over the past two years. Highly underrated. He's also a great compliment to Hunter. Curious to see how much he gets, and where.

Lawson I would bring back. I may be even willing to cut Haralson and take that $2.7M Haralson is due and give it to Lawson and get some other OLBs in here.

No thanks to Bush, Benson, Hillis.

Also I don't think we'll go after any free agent CBs or Safeties. Pretty sure we'll keep Carlos and Dashon, and then draft some more backups with potential.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Meachem, Garcon, Burress, and Lloyd.

Hillis resigned with the Browns.

Hillis resigned with the Browns.

Oh wow didnt hear that, well nevermind on him then lol thanks.

I think he must be yanking your chain. He's still unsigned.

Not a big fan of Hillis then i guess lol

 

[numone9er]

Meachem, Garcon, Burress, and Lloyd.

I'm not really a fan of bringing in Burress, but the others i would definitely be ok with. Adding one of those FA WR's is crucial IMO.

 

[maniax]

Meachem would be good because it's also subtracting from the Saints roster.

That helps. If Colston AND Meachem walk, and they get a WR injury on top of that, all of a sudden the Saints are thin at WR, and the replacement they have at WR may end up being worse than Colston/Meachem.

Meachem could be a good call. A downlow signing that could surprise a few.

I think Garcon in NO would be awesome lol....
