Charles Johnson of CAR needs removed from this list. He was cut and them immediately re-signed to a one-year deal worth $3 million.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

I thought I heard that but honestly it's hard to keep up. I'll fix it.
I also added Chris Long and James Laurinaitis.

Any comp pick strategists know if signing a guy now would offset the early comp pick we would get for MLJ or the late one we would get for Lamur?

Here's an article that helps explain the new CBA's format for compensatory picks.

As of right now, we've had no outside signings that will cancel out any of our lost players.

Pretty sure Grimes signed with Tampa Bay. Wifey takes her twitter game there.
As to who I'd want:
Mike Wallace

Kerley/Wallace, Coples/Werner would all be fantastic IMHO.

I still prefer Mike Wallace, but we're in this lul where teams are still going to pay a few of these guys reasonably. Then you're going to have an old vet like Andre Johnson or Colston seeing he can play for a solid team that honors contracts when the money's all the same and be the #2 or #3 depending on how quick a rookie comes along. I'm in on Kerley, or anyone but Cooper on that list. Same goes for the DE's, one of the "bust" types will be looking for PT, so Cincy won't be #1 but it's more likely Gilberry comes back for cheaper than he thought. I'd like to see more cut FS types hit the market, that could be a cheap pickup right before the draft when one of them takes less in fear that they won't find a good job post draft.

Wonder how many other message boards for NFL teams have a sticky thread for players that have been cut at the top of their "free agency" section?

Carlos Dansby released by the Browns:
Per NFL.com:
"Cleveland's new regime opted to go younger at the position, replacing Dansby with former Jets linebacker Demario Davis.
'They're in a rebuild,' Dansby told Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot. 'This will get me closer to my destiny.
'I'm sure the Bengals are licking their chops right now.'"
Do you really think the Bengals are licking their chops? I mean I am a little, but I don't see them spending any money on a FA backer.

He can sign a team friendly deal and back up.

Probably not. Most fans don't know how comp picks work and some teams don't seem to care about them.
