Think that’s an overstatement?
Well, check this out:
Joyner tagged.
Peters brought in cheaply.
Talib brought in cheaply.
Shields brought in cheaply.
Non-fit Quinn offloaded clearing big salary in the process.
Non-fit Ogletree offloaded clearing more big salary.
Geez, I’m semi-giddy. And it’s only March 11th. Three days before the official beginning of FA.
Here are our remaining needs at starter, IMO.
C. I see Sully inexpensively extended as a virtual certainty.
WR. Either Watkins extends for a reasonable price or they will get another FA for far less money. It’s that simple.
NT. Probably draft but could be a FA.
Edge. Probably two. I’m thinking draft high for one and the other could be Barwin, draft pick, or other FA.
ILB. Probably FA if Edge was the early pick. But could be our 3rd or 4th rounder.
Beyond these 6 I think they’re going for needed depth.
Here’s the exciting thing, for me anyway.
They have approx $30 million available, the entire FA period, and the draft to plug these “holes”. VERY doable.
I will refrain from making my official prediction for ‘18 until camp, but I will say at this point I am very, very bullish about this emerging team.
