Free Agents this Offseason

[BeenPounding]

Remember our cap only counts the highest 51 contracts.  Many of these guys could be had for near or vet minimum contracts.  Cutting those contracts has no real cap ramifications.  Many of these guys played too much last year and didn't serve the role of depth players.  Even though they didn't perform as starters, they could serve a valuable depth pieces.  If we draft well, get healthy, and sign a few quality free agents, many would be in position to play a part of this team that serves both well.   Take a look at this link and you will see some interesting stats in regard to playing time.  FYI, Xavier Woods played 100% and Mike Jackson played nearly 99% of defensive snaps.  They were the only two players above 95%.  Hunt was the next highest at 93% and he missed the final game.

Unrestricted FA's

QB Andy Dalton - I like him, but we could get someone like Cooper Rush or Minshew for the same $$$$ we are paying him.
C Austin Corbett - Incentive laden and team friendly
C Brady Christensen - top swing OL pay replace Yosh Nijman
TE Tommy Tremble - Lock him up now, multi-year cheap.  He's not even 25.  He will get much better.
TE Ian Thomas
TE Feleipe Franks - ST minimum deal
WR David Moore - minimum deal
RB Mike Boone

DE DeShawn Williams - minimum deal (PS?)
OLB Cam Gill
LB Shaq Thompson - only if it is a minimum with incentives.  Think late career TD or Jeremiah Trotter.  Player coach
CB Mike Jackson - He's going to cost more than we think, but keep the man!!
CB Caleb Farley - minimum deal to prove it if he is FINALLY healthy
S Xavier Woods
S Jordan Fuller
S Nick Scott
S Sam Franklin - not breaking the bank.  He is ST only.
S Lonnie Johnson
P Johnny Hekker - if the price is right
K Eddy Piñeiro
LS JJ Jansen - Can't remember a bad snap over the past 10 years.  According to Google is hasn't happened since 2010.  Resign tomorrow.

RESTRICTED FREE AGENTS 
C Cade Mays - 3 million right of first refusal.
WR Deven Thompkins - minimum deal
RB Raheem Blackshear - minimum deal.  I like him, but he didn't show much when given his shot on offense.

WR Dan Chisena - minimum (PS)

EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS FREE AGENTS

LB Chandler Wooten - It's cheap, bottom roster PS guy

Moving on from Tremble would be a mistake. 

I'd like to keep Tremble.
