So as most of you know, if no labor deal a lot of Free Agents will Restricted.
So this is the best Unrestricted Free Agents at our Position of Need.


**UPDATE**
NT Vince Wilfork
NT Casey Hampton
NT Ryan Pickett
NT Tank Johnson
DE Richard Seymour
DE Jarvis Green
ILB Karlos Dansby
OLB Julius Peppers
OLB Derrick Burgess
OLB Aaron Kampman
OLB Kyle Vanden Bosch
WR Antonio Bryant
WR Nate Burleson
WR Chris Chambers
WR Derrick Mason (Will Retire)
WR Terrell Owens (No Chance)
TE Ben Watson
TE Randy McMichael
TE Anthony Becht


and Thats it everybody else of value is Restricted or Below average
 
I like Dansby, Wilfork and Chambers for the right price. Bryant has been a head case at every team Dallas, Cleveland and Tampa. Parcell's got rid of him at dallas so I doubt he will bring him here.

Dansby will hit the market, the Bidwell's are cheap they cry poor all the time and now with no revenue sharing they will be having a fire sale!
 
best to sign guys that we dont really know like starks and make them great players
 
Wilfork would be a big answer to a big question this offseason. I am OK not being a big offseason spender and working the draft to acquire talent. Though I definitely explore the idea of trading a second or third round pick for a receiver like Boldin or Austin.
 
If Wilfork is available I think we do everything to sign him.

Bryant and Parcells are good now so he might be a possibility.
 
Yep, if we can pry Karlos Dansby and say Casey Hampton (as I believe Wilfork will be franchise tagged or re-signed) then we can focus on BPA at #12. maybe Porter's replacement?

Chambers? Hmm. Chambers could be a vet option and either putting him in the slot like when he made the Pro Bowl, member??? or putting him opposite Ginn Jr or opposite Hartline.

Whichever it is, you keep GInn Jr, Hartline, and Chambers as your starters on the two out spots and the #3 WR/slot. Then Bess battles it out with Grice-Mullen, Pat White, and/or someone else brought in for that PR/#4 WR spot. THen Camarillo and Turner battle it out for #5 WR. Yeah Chambers could be an option. Plus he would be a vet instead of bringing in yet another young guy (which all we have are young guys).

I say Chambers could be a good plan B. But if I had to choose between CHambers and Bryant. Chambers would then be my plan "A".

Austin will be tendered the 1st and 3rd. Even Boldin would cost more than a 2nd.
 
Why isn't Brandon Marshall on your list? He is not restricted. He could be franchised, but I do not think he is restricted. Shouldn't Elvis Dumervile be on that list? Isn't Braylon Edawards a free agent as well?

I like Dansby and Wilfork. If you sign those two guys we can stay in a 3-4 and focus on FS or best BPA in the draft. I also like the idea of bringing in Chambers if we are not successful securing a top teir #1 WR. Chambers could be like Cam with more speed and big play ability. I also loved Chris as a Dolphin back in the day. No matter what colors he wears I always see him as Dolphin, so I would like to see him retire here.

You also have to keep in mind the list at the end of the season is meaningless. Before March 1st, when we can sign FA, teams will work on securing the guys they want to keep. The other thing that dramaticly will affect this list is if the CBA is reached. If not team will drop players with bloated salaries to save them selves of going to salary cap hell. If it is an upcapped year you can cut players who had huge signing bonuses, and not be forced to absorb all of that in one season. That is why traditionaly there are bunch of guys cut Sept 1st, as if teams wait till september they defer the signing bonus cap hit to the following year. If no CBA is agreed on and this is an uncapped season there will be no waiting for September 1st for those cuts, as they will happen right at the beginning of the signing period. My main point being the list today may not even resemble the list on March 1st.

He is restricted with no CBA, less than 6 years.
 
Brandon Marshall is Restricted as is Braylon Edwards and Dumervil. ANy player With under 6 Years Exp. is automatically Restricted in the event on no Labor Deal.

Well there will probably be a good number of cuts I cant Predict who. this is the list if NO CBA is reached and Just my 2 Cents I don't think it will.
 
If it's uncapped then there will be alot of large contracts cut to increease the talent in FA, just like we could dump Porter, Wilson, Torbor as an example.

We need to fill the NT position and there's plenty to choose from, Hampton or Pickett would be great without breaking the bank.
