Free Agency Eve - Prediction Time

Time to go on record for what you think will happen. Here’s my best guess:

OC David Andrews
WR Juju Smith-Schuster
OLB/Edge Bud DuPree

There will probably be some smaller moves, but these are the big ones. I’m sure I’ll be 0 for 3 on this.

Want no part of Smith-Schuster and his Drama
 
How does this work? In years past I seem to remember that deals were getting announced during the negotiation period, but last year I seem to remember no deal getting announced until FA actually officially kicked off 2 days later. Did something change, or do I remember it incorrectly?

On topic, I think we go after one of the FA centers, hopefully Linsley. Also expect a LB, such as the rumored Perryman. Then I think they pursue only one of the big contract skill players, either Golladay or Jones.
 
NFLN coverage starts at 1pm today. Looking forward to all the excitement once again. The next 3 days will be fun with the negotiation window opening up tomorrow.

I think Miami is conservative, by not signing any big names.

I also think Miami will extend a player or two of their own.

And lastly, the expected player cuts or a trade will happen by the time Free Agency begins on Wednesday.

I don’t think our ~$30M in cap space could even sign all 3 of those guys to be honest. I do think Linsley, Andrews and Thuney are on our radar though. Smith-Schuster seems like the kind of dude Flores wouldn’t even let walk into his locker room tbh. The social media stuff he does is a huge turn off for “older” teammates.
 
Is 30 too old for an OC? If not, I like Linsley. We need to get a reliable pivot and get our OL whipped into shape. Whatever we do, I hope we are frugal. I don't think being the off-season champs has helped us become the team we all want to be.

I expect pass rush help as free agency is deep in that department
Bud Dupree
Ryan Kerrigan
Or Leonard floyd

Money might go a lot father this free agency period than most normal years because of how many teams have cap issues. Miami is actually in good shape cap wise compared to most teams. I think you may see a lot of one year deals. I agree with you on Shuster. I hope Miami doesn't go near him. He's way overrated.

I fully expect to see a lot of deals structured so the cap hit in 21 isn’t huge and there’s guaranteed money in year 2. Front offices will find ways to make the numbers work.
 
C - Linsley - best Center available and gives us a great player on the interior for the RPO/ screen game. Still 29 and healthy, he should be the only top tier guy we sign.
NT - Malcolm Brown, Snacks Harrison, or Jonathan Hankins - We need a big, inexpensive, 2 down space eater on first and second down in the 3 man front so we can play Davis and Wilkins at 3-4 DE full time on first and second down to fully enhance their dynamic pass rush and run stop ability. A guy like one of these three is A MUST this off season.
LB - Denzel Perryman - Again, mainly a first and second second player but a guy that gills a big need at MLB and should be relatively inexpensive. Would be a homecoming for Denzel who played college ball at Miami.

DE - Carl Lawson - Younger edge player to rush the passer on the other side of Ogbah. Not a great player, but a solid edge rusher that will see a lot of single blocks on the other side of Ogbah and will make our pass rush a lot better with our elite secondary.

Use FA to solidify the o line and the defense, use the first 2 rounds of this draft with our 4 picks to focus on surrounding Tua with fast, explosive, dynamic, special playmakers in guys like Pitts, Waddle, Bateman, Moore, Toney, St. Brown, Williams, Etienne, Harris, Sermon, Gainwell etc... Don't get me wrong, I really think that Sewell is the best NON QB player in this draft and I'd like him at 3, but I think the better strategy is to fill RT with a solid player for now, move Hunt to RG where he can be a stud and use the 3rd pick on Pitts who IMO will be the Megatron of Tight Ends that can line up anywhere on offense at TE, WR or H Back/ wing back and make huge plays. I love, love, love Pitts and I'd take him over any WR in this draft because of his size, speed, hands and explosive playmaking ability.
