FA Free Agency is About to Start (1 Viewer)

[DSnfla]

Given that the Jags just signed a arguably mid-level Guard to a deal for over $9 million per year for 3 years, I think Peat's number is going to be more in the $10 million per year range for about 2 years.

Don't know if I'd consider Ezra Cleveland a mid-level G , he started every game in 21 and 22 and has only missed 3 games in 3 yrs , plus he's only 25

A lot of the players that I had on my list are already gone. We did sign LB Willie Gay. I'm still hoping for a DT and DE. I know some that don't want Chase Youg, but he's a lot better than most left on the free agent market. Maybe Tyus Bowzer. I'll come back later with a list of what's left.

Ill take a Chase Young..

49ers are stacked like all heck on the dline.
Even if he doesnt perform up to the same standard.. hes still a solid rotational guy.

All role players outside of Thomas.

Thomas as a 31 year old WR is a role player too. Peat’s the only weekly starter on the team FA list if he continues playing LT.

I'm still holding out hope that we can re-sign Peat. I would like to see the Saints re-sign DT Mustipher and CB Isaac Yiadom.

Sorry it took me so long to get back with the list, I was checking all the sites to make sure I had the right players. Here are the remaining FA LT's & RT's that are left. Let's see if y'all can find what they all have in common except for one player.

Free Agent Left Tackles:
David Bakhtiari- LT, Packers (Age-32)
Charles Leno- LT, Commanders (Age-32)
Tyron Smith- LT, Cowboys (Age- 33)
Duane Brown- LT, Jets (Age- 38)
Cornelius Lucas- LT, Commanders (Age- 32)
Donovan Smith- LT, Chiefs (Age- 30)

Free Agent Right Tackles:
Trenton Brown- RT, Patriots (Age- 30)
Billy Turner- RT, Jets (Age- 32)
Kendall Lamm- RT, Dolphins (Age- 31)
David Quessenberry- RT, Vikings (Age- 33)
Charlie Heck- RT, Texans (Age-27)

 

[B_doggman47]

This is a list of the FA Guards that are left. The further I went down the list the more I saw players I had never heard of. Probably players that were let go due do to age and decline or to the numbers game, or teams know that they aren't going to get a chance to play, not the right scheme fit, projects or they're plain not any good. Who knows?

Free Agent Guards:

Laken Tomlinson- G, Jets (Age- 32)
Andrus Peat- G, Saints (Age- 30)
Cody Whitehair- G, Bears (Age- 31)
Kevin Zeitler- G, Ravens (Age-34)

if the Saints are shopping for FA Tackles, I wouldn't mind one of David Bakhtiari- LT or Donovan Smith-LT. I would have liked Tyron Smith but I believe he is signing with a team, I can't remember who.

At RT I wouldn't mind Trenton Brown or Kendall Lamm.

Tyron went to the Jets. I believe Bakhtiari has said he will only play on a natural surface due to his chronic knee condition.

 

[B_doggman47]

These are the FA TE's they have left that haven't been signed yet.

Free Agent TE's:

Logan Thomas- TE, Commanders (Age-32)
C.J. Uzomah- TE, Jets (Age-31)
Hayden Hurst- TE, Panthers (Age-30)
Robert Tonyan Jr.- TE, Bears (Age-29)
Mercedes Lweis- TE, Bears (Age-39)
Geoff Swaim- TE, Cardinals (Age-30)
Ross Dwelley- TE, 49"ers (Age-29)
Kenny Yeboah- TE, Jets (Age-25)
MyCole Pruitt- TE, Falcons (Age-31)
Tyler Kroft- TE, Dolphins (Age-31)
Blake Bell- TE, Chiefs (Age-32)
Nick Vannett- TE, Chargers (Age-31)
Josiah Deguara- TE, Packers (Age-27)
Adam Trautman- TE, Broncos (Age-27)
Jesper Horsted- TE, Raiders (Age-27)
Mitchel Wilcox-TE, Bengals (Age-27)
Ben Ellefson- TE, Vikings (Age-27)
Shane Zylstra- TE, Lions (Age-27)
Brycen Hopkins- TE, Rams (Age-26)
Brandon Dillon- TE, Commanders (Age-26)
Brady Russell- TE, Seahawks (Age-25)
David Wells- TE, Bucs (Age-28)

I would definitely try to bring in Ross Dwelley of the 49'ers since he has experience in Kubiak's offense. I also like Mitchell Wilcox from the Bengals.

Switching to the defensive side of the ball, here is a list of DT's & NT's that are still out there and could be had for cheap. I would like to see the Saints sign another DT or NT for depth in the rotation. You have to keep the big doggs fresh to stay effective at pushing the pocket and stopping the run, especially late in the game and the score is close.

Free Agent Defensive Tackles:

Austin Johnson- DT/NT, Chargers (Age-29)
Bryan Mone- NT, Seahawks (Age-28)
Teair Tart- DT, Texans (Age-27)
Rakeem Nunez-Roches- DT, Giants (Age-30)
Taven Bryan- DT, Colts (Age-28)
Hassan Ridgeway- DT, Texans (Age-29)
Lawrence Guy- DT/NT, Patriots (Age-33)
Sebastian Joseph-Day- NT/DT 49'ers (Age-28)
Al Woods- DT, Jets (Age-36)
David Bada- DT, Commanders (Age-28)
Linval Joseph- NT, Bills (Age-35)
Josh Tupou- NT, Bengals (Age-29)
Johnathan Hankins- NT, Cowboys (Age-31)
Derick Nnadi- DT/NT Chiefs (Age-27)
Nick Williams- DT, Chargers (Age-34)
Chris Wormley- DT, Panthers (Age-30)
Marlon Davidson- DT, Titans (Age-25
Ross Blacklock- DT, Titans (Age-25)
James Lynch- DT, Vikings (Age-25)
Jonathan Harris- DT, Broncos (Age-27)
Larrell Murchison- DT, Rams (Age-26)
Albert Huggins- DT, Falcons (Age-26)
Renell Wren- DT/NT, Steelers (Age-28)
Khyiris Tonga- NT/DT, Vikings (Age-27
Curtis Brooks- DT, Commanders (Age-26)
P.J. Mustipher- NT, Saints (Age-24)
T.J. Smith- DT, Vikings (Age-26)
Jordan Phillips- NT, Bills (Age-31)
Mike Purcell- NT, Broncos (Age-32)

I would really like to see the Saints re-sign Mustipher. This is a young talent that the Saints can develop. Our defense needs to get younger.

 

[B_doggman47]

With the signing of Chase Young, the Saints can scratch DE off of their list. Now this doesn't mean they won't draft one this year. They just won't be forced to draft one in the 1st round. The Saints can go BPA, and if it's DE, OT TE then that's still great even if they still pick a DE. I would like to see them draft Fuaga with #14. I also like the Oli Udoh signing. It looks like it had Kubiaks fingerprints all over it.

 

[B_doggman47]

Since we already signed our DE Young, I won't put out a list of FA DE's that are still out there on the market. I won't be putting out a LB list either since we signed already signed Gay. I'll be getting a list of FA CB's and Safety's together.

 

[B_doggman47]

Here is a pretty extensive list of CB's that are still on the FA market. Some of these guys are expensive, even the older CB's.
These are the top CB's and what it would cost to sign them.

Free Agent CB's:

Adoree' Jackson- CB, Giants (Age-28) Calculated Market Value- 4-Year $45.4M. Base Calculated Value- 4-Year $64.1M.
Stephon Gilmore- CB, Cowboys (Age-33) Calculated Market Value- 1-Year $11.1M. Base Calculated Value- 1-Year $10.5M

That's a lot of FA CB's. I wonder how many won't make a team this season?

 

[B_doggman47]

Here is the list of all the FA Safeties that are left. It is pretty extensive, just like the CB's list. These are the top free agent safeties and what it cost to sign them. There only 2 that they consider the top Safeties to give the big contracts to. I see at least 5-6 that would warrant good contracts and money.
