just as every year, i don't think it's realistic to expect more than one big signing. i guess we'll go all in at QB this off-season. everything else will have to be filled with the Juqua Parkers and Robert Meachems of the NFL IMO
I'll be honest, a few guys you mentioned on that list are just awful, old, beaten down by time, and just can't play.
I like some of the others though.
At QB of those listed I prefer Stanton or Quinn to Carr.
At RB you said Stanton, did you mean Slaton?
At WR, we don't have the cap room to sign Bowe. A guy like Garcon, Robinson, Meacham, Eddie Royal, or the other two you mentioned are more likely.
Finley is getting tagged or signed, you can take him off the list. I like the Carlson idea, Martellus Bennett at a #2 TE might be an upgrade over the guys we have as well, if he can be motivated to play.
I like the OL candidates, but would also like to see us go after a legit T if we aren't going to pursue one in the draft. Gaither would be my preference there.
Honestly, the only linebacker I see listed that I think we would ever sign is McIntosh, and that's only if we go to a 4-3, which at this point I feel certain we don't do. I prefer guys like Ahmad Brooks, Manny Lawson, Kroy Biermann, or Anthony Spencer at OLB. Williams is likely to be too expensive for us, and Bunkley unfortunately cannot generate any pass rush, so he's not really a player we would want.
Trufant is pretty much done at this point. Injuries have slowed him way down, and he's not worth signing. Kelly Jennings is also not very good. Buchanon is not only a mediocre player, but was suspended by his team for 4 games, then went on IR afterword. Not a player we want to touch with a ten foot pole. If we want a CB, in my opinion it would be a guy who can play the slot. With that in mind, my targets would be Porter, Thomas, or Middleton. Those are the types of guys we might be able to afford, unless one of them gets overpaid.
I honestly think we need to cut Bell, and pick up two safeties. With that in mind, I like Landry. Grant is old, and never has been great in coverage, so no. same with Bigby. Oliver is worse than either of the other two, but he is younger. If we are going to look at a second safety, we need to look at FS types, so guys like Micheal Griffin, Goldson, or even a guy like Reggie Nelson. If we can't land Landry, I'd also be happy with Tyvon Branch, but both of them are better at SS than FS, so it's an either or type of thing.
Good God Finley Will NOT get tagged think about it GB is not paying top 5 for a backup..and why would he sign if he knows if will get a shot to start somewhere else.
Perhaps you've got Finley confused with Flynn???Good God Finley Will NOT get tagged think about it GB is not paying top 5 for a backup..and why would he sign if he knows if will get a shot to start somewhere else.

You'd rather draft Fleener in the 2nd than to pick up Finley in FA?? Is that a joke? Do you understand what Finley would do for our offense?
Do you guys realize how much talent is going to be at the QB postion in next years draft? Matt Barkley, Landry Jones, Tyler Wilson, Tyler Bray, Aaron Murray, and E.J. Manuel.
If we miss out on Flynn, and we roll with what we have, are we taking a risk? Sure. But, if it clearly doesn't work, then that means we likely have done bad enough to be in position for one of these guys.

I be happy with:
1.- Manning, if not Flynn
2.- Garcon, if not Meachem
3.- Goldson
In the draft go Oline, pass rush and CB, and Tunnehill (QB texas A&M) were ever he needs to be draft.
