Yep. We cut him & Eric Burrell (another udfa) after they failed a physical. Dolphins claimed Trill Williams & Eric Burrell cleared waivers. We ended up re-signing Burrell eventually.

There are legit health concerns about Trill Williams, but I don't see why we couldn't just IR him if we thought it would take time for him to get healthy. Oh well, hopefully we made the right decision.

Gotta think we sign a CB.

I would put DT next on the needs list just cause they’re very thin there.

Some interesting names at both positions. Gotta get an extension or two done. Just get the Ram deal done!

We are thin, but we should easily be able to make it work. Onyemata is really the only DT that we will be depending on to effectively rush the passer, & we're probably going to use a DE to rush from the interior during obvious passing downs.

The other 3 DT's will probably be counted on to stop the run mostly. We have Shy Tuttle, but we need at least 1 more run stuffer...run stuffers are cheap as well.

I'll be keeping my eye on Malcolm Roach, Jalen Dalton, & Josiah Bronson at the DT position. I wouldn't be surprised if 1 of these 3 guys stepped up for us this year.

I only see the top 7 available FA CB's as good enough to be considered by us, & the top 2 aren't even realistic options imo...

07 - Brian Poole, CB, Jets. Age: 28. - Don't need a slot CB
12 - Steven Nelson, CB, Steelers. Age: 28. - He has like 12-15 teams interested in him. Probably too expensive
19 - Richard Sherman, CB, 49ers. Age: 33.
24 - Darqueze Dennard, CB, Falcons. Age: 29.
36 - Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Cardinals. Age: 32.
37 - Gareon Conley, CB, Texans. Age: 26.
38 - Baushad Breeland, CB, Chiefs. Age: 29.

Some Free Agents that I like...I see Kwon as a 2nd half (of the season) player

37 - Gareon Conley, CB, Texans. Age: 26.
38 - Baushad Breeland, CB, Chiefs. Age: 29.

09 - B.J. Goodson, LB, Browns. Age: 28. B.J. Goodson had a solid year in Cleveland's lackluster linebacking corps. He was at his best in coverage.

16 - Kwon Alexander, LB, Saints. Age: 27. Kwon Alexander is a talented linebacker, but will miss a chunk of the 2021 season because he tore his Achilles late in 2020.

21 - Alshon Jeffery, WR, Eagles. Age: 31. Alshon Jeffery is set to be released at the beginning of the new league year. Jeffery had a great 2-year run for the Eagles in 2017 and 2018, but he hasn't been the same since his game-losing drop in the second round of the playoffs versus New Orleans. He can still be a functional No. 2 receiver if healthy, but he can't seem to stay off the injury report.

21 - Nick Easton, G, Saints. Age: 29.

28 - D.J. Swearinger, S, Saints. Age: 30.

I think we all appreciate the time and effort you put into these posts, bravo!

One suggestion: it’s terribly difficult to look through the “availables” among the clutter of all the guys who signed what deals. Would you be able to easily remove those so we can quickly browse the remaining available options?

Again, great work, just offering some feedback

I think LeBlanc would be worth a shot.

Some other FAs I like:

Golden Tate
Trai Turner
Kelemete
Osemele
Sheldon Richardson
Jurrell Casey
Jake Butt
