With McPhee, Royal, and Rolle pending contracts. I would still like to see a few more guys brought in from this pool of defensive candidates (for the right price): Safety: #28 Rahim Moore - S (25) #88 Ron Parker - S (27) Cornerback: #27 Chris Culliver - CB (27) #46 Perrish Cox - CB (28) Linebacker: #49 Curtis Lofton - ILB (28) #59 Mason Foster - ILB (26) Defensive/Nose Tackle: #16 Terrance Knighton - DL (29) #29 Dan Williams - DL (28) # - NFL FA Ranking If we could bring in a couple of more guys from these groups (wishful thinking), I think we would be in great position going into the draft. I was hoping for 4x new starters via free agency on defense, and 2x from draft (first 3 rounds). Then we would only have to start 5 guys from last year's team. Pre-Draft: DLine: Houston/Knighton/Ratliff/Ferguson/Dunn/Allen LB: McPhee/Young/Foster/Jones/Bostic/Bass/Washington/SMC CB: Fuller/Culliver/Jennings/Louis-Jean/Hurst S: Moore/Rolle/Mundy/Vereen

They are all visits, but highly likely based on comments.

Royal is 28 (29 in May), and would immediately be one of the best slot WR's we've had in a long time.

In 2008, Eddie Royal caught 91 passes for 980 yards, 5 TDs, career-highs in receptions and yards. Cutler also had a career high in yards that year.

From Rolle's twitter:

Damn

Love it, slot guy, history with Cutler and offense.

Official trade details.

Insane deal, what are the Saints doing?

FINALLY: Bears will sign S Antrel Rolle according to @JenLada. 3 yrs/$11.25 - $5 mil guaranteed

Jeff Legwold‏@Jeff_Legwold·1 min1 minute ago Virgil Green has informed #Bears hes staying with #Broncos.

That sounds about right. Searcy, Mason, Rolle, House all have been linked. Should get interesting today.

Looks like Cutler is staying.

We only have Bostic, Greene, SMC, Jones, add Lattimore under contract, so we are adding LBs because we need around 10 on our roster.

2/$6 is a pretty good deal for the Browns, also sets the bar lower than I expected. Royal or Britt could be had for a similar deal.

I don't understand why nfl.com is making news posts about the free agents and their "insiders" are giving some of the scoops if they don't condone these actions. Talk about being hypocritical.

That is not how took it. If they are trading picks, then it is a trade. If they are swapping picks, they are swapping picks. The tweet said: I don't know how you get our 3rd for their 2nd out of that statement. I get we would swap 2nd & 3rd round picks. I might just be reading into too much.

Those moves would be the equivalent to Pick#101 (early 4th rounder). We would get Pick 33 and 66, they would get 39 and 71.

Possibly to fill a leadership void in secondary?

Paea to Washington (4 years), so Oakland seems like the front runner for Knighton.

SCS I agree on Rolle, possibly just a one year stop gap. Another update: Would love Wisniewski.

Mason Foster, LB Da'Norris Searcy, S Antrel Rolle, S I will take it.
