Resigning Ogbah is a must imo. Dont get fancy trying to replace him, he's played well and earned an extension. It's a f***ing joke Charles Harris is even on that list. Took him what, like 6 years to get his first career sack? gtfo. dude is and always will be a bum in my eyes. I'd rather bring back the ghost of Cam Wake
 
Don't know a ton about those interior DL guys, but maybe someone like Jarran Reed would be a good add? Idk.

The linebacker options look very very rough. Still dont think we shouldve cut McKinney. I'd look to the draft probably, but we must sign a vet too. Our LBs are bad.

I'd assume we're probably set at db. Holland and Jones are the future, but I'd still keep Rowe around truthfully. Dont need to spend any money at this spot imo


SF, are you gonna do one of these for offense?

That's the problem with these lists. Some will very likely be resigned by the current team, some are Charles-Harris-like, and some are over 50 <exaggeration>
Need a list of who will likely hit the market ranked by how good they are. I expect MIA to shop for a LB or two and a DL rusher.

To be honest, I thought Harris was out of the league.

Agree on Ogbah. Other than that, not a lot to get excited about with this list.

I could. Looks much more promising on offense, which is where I'd spend.

Would keep both Ogbah and Gesick, using franchise tag if necessary.

The problem is Harris only has one less sack this year than Ogbah and 10 more solo tackles than Ogbah this season. If Ogbah isn’t looking for a lot of money in free agency he might be worth the risk to sign him to a two or three year contract.
If he is looking to be paid at the top tier of edge rushers, he isn’t worth it.
 
Randy Gregory has been a force this year but I doubt Jerry lets him walk.
With the NFL dropping weed, his suspension days should be behind him.

He'll be looking to get paid, trust me. Everyone will want to be second to Chandler Jones

Gregory would be interesting for sure. Dallas seems to do a good job of holding onto their talent.

Was hoping for a better list of linebackers. I think Miami will have to draft one fairly high.
 
There are 2 highly rated lbs but they’ll be gone in top 15 which should leave a good WR on the board
