Rumored FA Targets

[Sportster 72]

I like Grant also but I still wouldn't call him a source.

I like it but how does he fit in?

 

[chillerdab]

Peyton Barber is supposedly good at all three downs, and can puck up the blitz pretty well.

Peterson, Guice, Love, McKissick, Barber?

Maybe Guice or Love aren’t safe?

who knows.

Barber should stick b/c of 600K gmoney. McKissick will probably get released in camp.

Maybe it comes down to Guice vs Love?

they are going to give up on these guys already?

 

[countryroads316]

no way they give up on them this quickly that would be completely stupid

Hope not but, seems the RB room is crowded at the moment. Perhaps the starter will not be AP.

 

[Sportster 72]

I know I am only saying what most of you know already but the essence of sport is to create competition on your own team first and have as much depth as possible. It seems to me that for way too long this team has been figuring out the roster on paper and not on the field.

[countryroads316]

these signings are a joke blatant tanking moves

 

[kbso83432]

I'll admit, free agency has been underwhelming.

 

[skinsdad62]

certainly a bunch of under the radar guys , some TC fodder

Off the list

I am not sure if they are tanking or not. The "plan" could very well be to stockpile cap and then address needs in 2021.

What we do know if that this is Smiths and RR first attempt at running free agency. To me, I would have locked down starters THEN gone after depth and TC bodies but it appears they believe in the opposite. With FA being over for the most part, it appears we are going into the draft with the following needs:

Starting LT
Starting # 1 CB
Starting FS
Starting TE
Starting #2 WR

I think we can get a CB in FA still and it remains to be seen if Davis is a starter or not. I was not impressed with the film and Steeler beat writer's right ups. Davis seems like a solid back up and ST ace but perhaps he is viewed as a starter by RR.

Trades are always an option for any of those positions as well. I am not a fan of trading draft picks unless we have to do so.

The approach to FA has been confusing obviously and there are a few posters who disagree and "wait and see". That is fine but it certainly appears that the plan is to roll with increased depth and look to the draft to get starters at this point.
