I was just thinking today about what a smart move would be for Free Agents this year. The thought I came up with may sound funny but in logic I think would be smart. If I was a free agent I would probably look for the best 1 year deal I could get or maybe even sign a team friendly contract if the team was set to win a Super Bowl this year. The reason I bring that up is because so many teams are in cap hell this year you could have a small choices of going to. So try and get a ring this year and then next year when the cap jumps way up you can still look for a great team or you can cash in on having so many teams with cap space. So is my thinking way out of line or no? Lets hear what you'se guys think?
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Dhazer, you have a great way of thinking. If I was a player, and was really good, I’d do exactly like you said.
The problem is, we have no idea what drives each player.
If it’s mostly money, as we just saw with Watt, then I guess a SB ring isn’t as important as people like you and me think.

That’s where I can’t understand some players. How much money is enough money? If you already have multi millions in the bank, you’d think that getting a championship would shift the player into wanting to be on a team that had a better chance of getting it for them.
But that’s my line of thought.

This list is getting older by the minute. I am very upset that J'Mon More is rated so low. He would be great if he could only catch the ball. 🤣

Packers are the only team that has not signed an outside FA yet.

Gute protecting those comp picks? Then again, I don't think we got many. Maybe a 4th for Linsley, and very late one for RB Williams. Also due to we don't have a lot of cap space.

But at some point, we need to sign a CB (or two), possibile a Center for depth and a returner.

I'm thinking we're grabbing CB Kevin King, Returner Ervin and C Brett Jones. Maybe some other CB too... but if not, sign some vet after the draft.

Gotta have cap room before signing new dudes. Love getting a CB. About half way through the season I said I wouldn't be shocked if King came back. Are there players who are better than he is that don't want a King's ransom? (Pun intended.) I'm more than willing to give Erin another shot at being the returner and occasional RB.

Michael Rodney @ Packers Notes.com has a list of Intriguing Lower-Tier Free Agents 

It’s easy to list the top free agents at every position, but unearthing hidden gems takes more than just copy and pasting from Pro Football Focus or Sports Illustrated. It takes watching a lot of tape. Here are three lower-tier free agents who could provide big bangs for little bucks:

ALEX ERICKSON (WR/Bengals)
MORGAN FOX (DE/Rams)
PATRICK ONWUASOR (ILB/Jets)
DEMARCUS WALKER (DL/Broncos)



He has a paragraph on each of them on his website.

After reading his comments, I am kind of MEH on all of them. Perhaps Onwuasor would be worth the vet min as a ST player.
