He put together an interesting article re: potential asking prices of some of the tagged players and top free agents

Here, for instance, is what he thinks agents might propose for Weddle:

 

Quote

 

Eric Weddle, Safety
Contract package: 4 years, $33 million
Guaranteed money: $17.5 million

The 2015 season was a 16-game leaguewide audition for Weddle after his relationship with the Chargers started to deteriorate when his offseason efforts for a new deal were rebuffed. For the first time since 2009, Weddle didn't earn All-Pro honors. Although Weddle turned 31 in January, it's hard to imagine him being interested in a deal worth less than the $8 million per year in his expiring contract that was signed five years ago. The Raiders would be getting much younger at free safety by signing him to replace the recently retired Charles Woodson. The Panthers could also use an upgrade at safety, and coach Ron Rivera was Weddle's defensive coordinator in San Diego for three seasons (2008-10). Signing Weddle would require Kurt Coleman to move into free agent Roman Harper's strong safety slot. Weddle could also fill a pressing defensive need for the Giants.

This guy was a Panther killer.  To think those guys will keep on rolling is delusional.

This I find interesting.  He's always played against us well.  He hasn't produced enough per season for any crazy contract but well enough for a team to solidly invest in him as a proven young asset to grow with a squad.

No way Gettleman is going to give Eric Weddle 4 years and $33 million.  Raiders, yes, but not us.

Josh Scobee was signed by the Saints.  He's a kicker and he's terrible.

Depends on how it's structured.  Most NFL contracts have a bunch of fluff added so agents can brag about getting so and so this or that.  Guaranteed money is all that matters.  That 4 year, $33M deal might contain a voidable 4th year at $14M or something like that.  Sure, it's a 4 year, $33M contract on paper, but in reality it's a 3 year, $19M contract.
