bradjock Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Massie is getting 6 mil per, Trevathan 7-8, and Tracy porter 5, that means we have about 26 million to spend. DE is still a priority and we need to figure something out with the TE position. How the hell we going to spend 26 million? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long will get his deal done this year, that will probably average 10 million. 10 mil for rookies and yearly transactions. Not as much there as you think. We will get a DL yet, meybe Hicks maybe Cedric Thornton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawhizz Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I imagine Miller will resign, then get a veteran DT and find a S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killakrzydav Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd like a DL, Cb Smith or a safety, and maybe an elephant. Who is our current elephant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE is still a priority and we need to figure something out with the TE position. How the hell we going to spend 26 million? Got to pay Kyle Long, in addition, I presume we will pay some other players on our roster. Additionally, we are targeting safety, TE, and DE and I presume the DE we sign gets in the 6-8M/yr mark. I also don't think we need to spend every penny via FA. We could also structure deals to frontload things to ensure we have flexibility in latter years.

That leaves 18 and I imagine we sign DL, S, Shea, and Z Miller (8+5+2+3). That could go fast, then say we free up some on AJ and trading Bennett.

Brad Biggs just tweeted it sounds like we will be meeting with Akiem Hicks in person. After today I imagine we sign a ton of guys for one year prove it deals. That will allow us to be major players in free agency again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't an extension be just that, an extension of his current contract meaning he still gets paid the same this year but the years where he makes 10m is just added on? If that's not the case, then I would wait at least till the end of the off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 As for what's next, I'm hoping for Hicks. Love his length. In my ideal world we add 2 long starting Dlinemen to go along with Goldman. Past that S Bruton makes sense, wouldn't cost much, and has some potential upside if given the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably right about that, but with cap space left they may work it to use some of it to front load a contract for Long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scs787 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I like his length, but dislike his production. When it comes to his production I dug a little further into it than just looking at his stats. He only played 399 snaps last year. The Pats had 7 DLinemen in rotation. For comparison, Malik Jackson played 825 snaps, more than double the snaps but not double the production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I like his length, but dislike his production. Its odd you dont like someone because of production yet you push for Robert Nkemdiche. He was lacking in the stats department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sort of odd, I agree, but the difference is potential. One, we pretty much know. The other, is a soon-to-be rookie who has his entire career in front of him. A career where he won't be the main guy on the team getting double-teamed every play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Hicks, Burton, and Patrick Robinson. They all get brought in on team friendly deals. They are upgrades but not special. I think we upgrade the position and draft players to develop going forward. 1st round we trade back with Phil two spots and they give us a third.(they have two) 1st -Reggie Ragland/ILB a thumper that becomes the leader of our defense. 2d- Austin Johnson/DE highly productive-large and in charge. Johnson-Hicks-Goldman (huge upfront) 3rd-1 Vonn Bell/FS starts from day 1 3rd-2 Xaiver Howard/CB big play guy, 10 PDs and 5 ints senior year.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Gresham and Hicks will be at Halas hall tomorrow. Kearse on the radar as well and I presume we'll look at a safety at some point or another person within the secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like the idea, because Ragland seems like the only player that should be available that fits a need. 11 seems a tad to high but there is not many prospects left I am huge on.

I think Jack,Buckner, Ramsey, will all be gone. So our choices ( if we go defense) will be Robinson, Spence, Ragland. the next group of D players. I think Ragland has the most impact at that point. They could take a OT if they dont think they have the valve at pick 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been searching online for something saying it fell threw, but nothing. I suspect we resign Miller to a 3 year 5.75 deal with 1.5 guaranteed. Which would essentially be a one year 1.5 deal. Porter is basically a 2 year 4.25 deal, so if he fails he wont last long. If we dont sign Hicks then who? Ayers as a OLB? Fairly on a prove it deal? Knighton? maybe getting back with Fox , he will play better Jared Click- now bad stats Jarvis Jenkins- back for a rotational position.
