2018 Free Agents - WHo do we go after?

everyone knows that Mitchell is done



Does anyone happen to know his true cap savings and dead money?? Wilcox???

I could hardly imagine an intercetion or 5 from Mitchell's position, of course it would take a different MITCHELL in that position.

Just looking at the roster and going with the level of play for the value, he is the most upsidedown player we have on the roster. Plus he opens $5M for a cap strapped team. He's gone.


Cope, I truely hope that you are right on the GONE part. It's not just his play buit everything else that comes with him. When I read that he stood outside Jag's locker room and mouthed off before the game..........WTF?????

It's Wilcox last year. It's a $3.125M savings and $675k in dead money. This is a smart cut as well if there are no plans on using him.
 
1 POe
2 S Vaccaro and move Davis to FS
3 Bowman
 
You can get a cheaper version of Poe with Justin Ellis. Ellis has not had a big contract, if you get him in early, you might get a bargain.
 
If we sign Bell, we won't be going after any FA's. We need to cut players and renegotiate contracts just to sign him. Sign him and we are done. We definitely won't be signing any starter caliber FA's.
 
so, if we do draft an ILB, will he be able to wear the green dot and get people sorted out. Shaz started out early being able to do that, but I think he is the exception rather than the rule. However, Moseley at the Ravens might have started doing that his rookie year, too. I may be confusing him with someone else.

If the rookie can't do it, can Vince? I don't recall who was doing it after Shaz went down.

Seems like that may be a skill that you can get better in FA than the skills a new safety would need?
 
If we sign Bell his 2018 cap number will go way down, because he likely gets big bonus, but small salary in 2018.
