#6 OG Joe Thuney...........4 yr, $57 million

#8 CB William Jackson......3 yr, $40 million

#17 DE/OLB Carl Lawson...4 yr, $55 million


Lawson's injury history terrifies me, but if we don't sign him I predict we bring in some other edge player.


In general I am not impressed by blowing tons of money on top name free agents.  But I understand in a couple of situations.  When you are either very good and just need one key player or tow to put you over the hump or when you are very bad and have glaring holes all over your roster.

Other than that the best strategy is to build through the draft and just use free agency sparingly.

I'd be more than happy with this.
