FA to target

If the past is any conciliation, Loomis tends to fill holes through FA and target BPA of need through the draft. Here are a few names defensively that could do this for us.

1. Louis Delmas - Very talented and smart player. Has versatility to play both Safety positions. His signing could spell the end of Harper as he can play SS, or allow us to move Jenkins to SS and pkay him at FS. His injury should allow us to get him cheap and having IAQ as a backup allows us to take that chance with his injury history. - low risk / high reward.

2. Victor Butler - familiar with Rob Ryans scheme, and whenever given a chance, has shined. Stuck behind Spencer and Ware on the depth chart, Butler has amassed 11 sacks while never exceeding 300 snaps in a season. He would bring competition to Galette and Wilson. Butler should also come cheap. Low risk / high reward

3a. Sean Smith - a prototype built man to man cover corner who is experienced in bump and run coverage. He's young, and would compete with Greer for the primary cornerback position. He would allow us to put the inconsistent P-Rob back at nickle, and Sean Smith is familair with the island scheme that Rob Ryan loves to run in the secondary. He won't come cheap. But in combo with Delmas, would be a massive upgrade to our secondary. High risk / high reward

3b. Cary Williams - If Smith proves to expensive, Williams would add solid competition to our cornerbacks. While not great, he is a consistent man to man corner who would come cheap in a deep corner market. Low risk / high reward

4. Glenn Dorsey - Played average in a 2 gap 3-4 scheme under Crennel the last few years. Would add competition to Hicks and Jordan and may even be more successful in the 1 gap. Should come cheap, and theres no questioning his great character. Worst case scenario, hes a good backup to a thin dline who would be a locker room bonus. Low risk / high reward.

Those are great option but not attainable. Maybe Butler at the right price but we can't afford any of those other guys... We will not make any splash whatsoever in free agency. We will have to look for some veterans looking for work to sign a 1 or 2 year deal.
