What a free agent class to not have any money

Broncos have some decisions to make.

Only teams that can sign free agents is broncos,Seattle and greenbay,and pats, it doesn't matter they have no cap cause of Rodger goodell.

if hes willing to take peanuts, i say keep him. weve been shown how continuity benefits a secondary this year. Also like Tracy Porter leaving for 2011, that wasnt great for us.

They certainly won't touch a Dez Bryant. Sean Payton would never. People say what about Shockey, Shockey was Payton's guy in New York. The Saints stay far away from these guys who have troublesome off field issues or diva like attitudes. If they had some struggles in college, sure the Saints will consider the guy, but not if it's in the NFL.

Yea I think our team really wants this to be true and it was until recently. Colston, the other wos, even Reggie all seemed pretty selfless and bought into their roles without objection.
Jimmy and Ingram seem like the most self obsessed players the Saints have had since Joe Horn. And Joe was cool/funny.
Jimmy and Ingram showboat so dang much. And with Ingram it rlly ticks me off cuz hell start hootin and hollering over a 5 yd run when there is a play to be called, stfu and get to the huddle.
Like Ingram as a player a whole lot, honestly want him back. I think Jimmy is great on the field but an an achilles heel on the books.

People talk about how we suck at drafting, but lets talk about free agency. Grubbs was way too expensive. Jurys out on Byrd(we coulda had Aqib Talib).
And my opinion is that the Jimmy Graham deal is gonna hurt is in FA periods to come. You cant build an elite offense when a tight end is the highest paid athlete, its bull.
I'd love to sign Maclin. With Jimmys deal thats impossible.

Loomis gonna Loomis

We used to say we could sign high risk players because our locker room was tight.

That's clearly no longer the case. Our team is soft as frick.

We didn't have any money last year at this time either

Exactly

Just like there's no way we could sign Byrd. We can't afford him!!!

Loomis gonna Loom

The only one of those that I would really want though is Iupati. I wouldn't want them to spend big money on a free agent wr or rb. Junior ideally plays that LB/DE spot. Revis is getting older and I wouldn't feel that great about tying up a big contract in him. I don't know that much about Harris.

There are a few contracts that can be cut/restructured to free some money this offseason, my only two worries are-

1. That the money is used wisely. I loved the Byrd signing at the time, and am still optimistic about it, but in hindsight it probably wasn't the best use of that money with the other holes on the team, and how little cap space we actually had.

2. Whatever positions we purge, hopefully it doesn't come back to haunt us. Sure Vilma and Smith were past their prime and shouldn't be on the field anymore, and Harper/Jenkins were easily upgrade-able, but it's hard to say getting rid of that many vets at once didn't affect on-field performance. Grubbs and Evans are playing to the level that they are being paid, but if we get rid of one or both, how easy will it be to fill that hole both on and off the field? If Colston becomes a victim of the salary cap this offseason, assuming Meachem isn't back, is Kenny Stills ready to take the vet role of the WR group?

Only person worth keeping and asking to restructure is bolded above. The rest can take a long walk off of a short pier.

Colston - from being Mr. Reliable to Mr. Liability.
Jahri Evans - Possibly the worst starting player on our line this year. Age has skipped not doing him any favors to kicking him squarely in the arse.
Grubbs - Probably worth keeping at a significantly reduced rate. Not a restructure. Simply, hey, either accept a new contract or we'll part ways. Keeping him, in addition to having Strief, would provide some veteran leadership for Armstead, Lelito, and a newly-drafted Guard.
