Now that one of our two best Free agents have been signed......

[RumHam]

I wanted Darby last offseason, i'd still like him this offseason. As for safeties, seems to be a lot of young raw talent that will command a lot or older guys. Would still like Joyner. Same as last year, Darby and Joyner. Won't happen though. I'm afraid this team will be content with the secondary we have. If we're tanking, so be it. lameduck year for Bradberry. Just get torched again if we field the same secondary.

I'll fall back on what I posted in my offseason primer thread a couple months back:

UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENTS

• S Mike Adams - Probably gone
• RB Cameron Artis-Payne - MAYBE a one year deal
• RB Kenjon Barner - MAYBE a one year deal
• RB Travaris Cadet - Probably gone
• K Chandler Catanzaro - Probably gone
• OT Chris Clark - deserves at least a couple more years here until we get some quality starters in here
• LB Thomas Davis - gone
• WR Devin Funchess - gone
• DE Wes Horton - worth another couple years at vet minimum
• LB Ben Jacobs - Probably gone
• S Colin Jones - Probably gone
• C Ryan Kalil (retiring) - gone
• DT Kyle Love - BRING HIM BACK
• LB David Mayo - Arguably our second best UFA behind Reid, need to BRING HIM BACK
• OT Marshall Newhouse - deserves a couple more years here until we get some quality starters in here
• DE Julius Peppers (retiring) - gone
• S Eric Reid - YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! :-)
• G Amini Silatolu - Nope
• RB Fozzy Whittaker - MAYBE a one year deal, but likely gone because of injury
• OT Daryl Williams - I'd love to have him back, but we won't pay him what he thinks he's worth. I think he's gone.

Thats a tall order if Hurney keeps signing horrible contracts. 

I know people aren’t a bit fan of Mike Adams but I like him unless we can get a better replacement. 

Why would we keep Funchess?dude lost his starting job last year

[LinvilleGorge]

I honestly wouldn't want Funchess back at veteran minimum. It's time to move on from that mistake.

Give him another year to prove himself. Base contract.

Hell no he had the highest drop percentage in the league, started turning into a diva, and was clearly the 4th best receiving option we had after having every chance in the world to be the number one on the team. He will command a contract well over his value to the team (remember the wide receiver deals being handed out last year?) and everyone knows the odds of him returning are 0.0

I like Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Lamarcus Joyner, and Mike Mitchell (for cheap and short contract)

[musicman]

We are not going to save any money cutting Kalil and it will cost us more money to sign a back up. Just keep him as a back up and cut next year. If he costed 1 mil to be a back up we would all love that. Since we can't save cutting him, keep him but ONLY as a back up. 

I would want Mayo and Love back as my priorities.

[The Lobo]

Texans released Thomas, let Funch walk sign him?

i know this is our FAs but I didn’t want to start a new thread sorry.

Where does this logic come from?

It is addition by subtraction with Kalil, and it actually will save us, in the long run and the short, by opening up more cap room than we would have if we kept him.
