Their d and st should be solid again next year. Though I heard somewhere that Dickenson may interview for the BC job?? That would be a big loss.

Overall I think the question marks are mostly at QB. I’m excited to see if some of our rookie recievers, like Cannon, JWL, Swerve and Evans can make the jump. I’d like to see Roosevelt return but I wouldn’t pay him top dollar as he has missed quite a few games with injury the past few seasons.

Thanks , nice list.
Appreciate that.

I wouldn’t go hard after any of the ones I stroked through. Jovon Johnson was pretty good but was a healthy scratch near the end of the season so that is why I added him. Bagg I think is done. Brooks’s health is highly questionable as I thought Jones said he would miss the beginning of next season but I won’t swear on that. If he is healthy then yeah he was a big help on the run stops. Jefferson is going to try the NFL but I would be surprised if he sticks but if he comes back he will be big bucks and probably worth it. Cameron Marshall was a big improvment I thought at RB and Lavoie I thought showed well in the limited time given. Makina Henry really didn’t do a lot either and Steele can step in on the Oline in an emergency which makes him more attractive to keep. Holly was a huge bust this year and Rosie as much as he gives it his all on every play he also gets injured a lot. Would like him back but more incentive based contract.

Yeah I would flush the whole qb set.

Funny that JSJ has become a want…he looked great down the stretch. He came into camp ready…so unfortunate he got dinged early. I can see them parting ways with Blake…he has a huge contract. Ideally they hold him…but we will see where the dollars land there. They might part with Clark to make this happen…I would.

You wouldn’t chase Antigha a bit? He was a game changer.

Jefferson won’t be back unless the NFL doesn’t stick…which I don’t think it will. Amazing player, but not built for NFL DE IMO…LB maybe.

Sam E…NFL

I would probably chase Brooks a bit dependant on how confident they are in bringing a solid DT in. It is actually probably the only area on D they haven’t had great luck recruiting.

I would likely pass on MOB unless he is coming much cheaper than his last contract. Focus on the younger Edem and look and Doughlin there as depth. A lot of money to be saved there.

Steele vs Henry is a tough call. Steele is all in a team first guy…does whatever…stats don’t really matter…wants the win. I think both can be kept. how they feel aboutMafuta will play a lot into that. He went and worked out on his own a lot this season while not with the team and they were pretty impressed.

Hurl will also be interesting. He had a superb season. I know lots rode him, but he was very underrated. That said…I think it depends largely on price. Judge is ready to step in and Teitz is behind him. If his demand is too much then he is let to walk IMO.

The name I thought would be on there is Gainey. I thought he was a FA this year.

#10

One thing when looking at it that is impressive…one pending FA on the OL

#11

10 days before free agency, we better start locking up some of these players, we are cutting it close

#12

the Riders had one of or perhaps the shortest FA lists. There are a few guys chasing the NFL, and a few guys that they won’t really be chasing to re-sign plus I think 4 that have already been extended…then a few who won’t do much until they have a better picture of how the new CBA is lining up. Take away the guys chasing the NFL and the guys that they won’t chase hard and there are only 4 or 5 more that they are likely hoping to have a deal worked out within the next few weeks.
