I wouldn't mind seeing them grab another rusher or rotational DL, either. They need another edge guy. Melvin Ingram would be interesting. Derek Wolfe might be a good addition to the interior, and wouldn't cost more than 3 or 4 mil per.
Hart and Geno released.
Biggest holes remaining in roster are OG, OG, #3WR.
"Smaller" holes at DT, DE/edge and OC.
We still have a lot of cap space I think if we were saving any large chunks for extensions (Bates, Hubbard) we probably would have held on to Geno until training camp to see how he recovered. But that is just pure speculation.
From the very beginning I said we would probably sign a WR in free agency, but not pay big money for a #1. However if Golliday would sign here I'd give him a chunk of change on a 1-year deal. I figure we will draft multiple WRs this year, but if we sign Golliday it would not have to be in the first two rounds.
I still hope we get Sewell at #5. Reiff is not the long term answer. If Andrew Whitworth could play OG his first years in the league then Sewell could also. But that means we still need to find another OG.
We also need a PK, but they are cheap. Same for punter where I assume we will re-sign Huber.
So my hope for the rest of free agency is WR, OC (maybe just one-year deal), OG, DT, DE/edge.
