Top 20 NFL unrestricted free agents....Which FA would take ya squad to the gloryland?

[Jeezyfan4ever]

1. Nnamdi Asomugha, CB, Raiders.Cant rate this guy Best CB in football

2. DeAngelo Williams, Overrated - I think he's a GOOD RB, mind you...but he's going to get some astronimical number for a position that wears out quickly. You never get the return on investment with RBs. Which leads me to...

3. Santonio Holmes, WR, Jets - he kinda overrated. Didnt crack 1000 yards and only caught 6 td all his number drop last year in every catorey

4. Sidney Rice, WR, Vikings. Overrated - Guy has had 1.5 good seasons, can never stay healthy...but I'm to believe he deserves top 15 money? No thank you, if I'm a GM.

5. Ike Taylor, CB, Steelers Overraated - Any decent corner can look good behind the steelers pass rush. He's a good player, probably a top 15 corner, but I think a team will regret it if they give him a big contract. He's like 31 years old, too. Also, look at the history of good Steelers defenders leaving in free agency and how they played with their new teams. Guys like Chris Hope, Bryant McFadden, Jason Gildon, Kendrell Bell, Larry Foote etc...All these guys were great when they were with Pittsburgh but flopped elsewhere.

6. Le'Ron McClain, FB, Ravens.

7. Zach Miller, TE, Raiders. - Underrated - Don't hear a lot of people talking about Miller. Maybe it's because it's expected that the Raiders will make him their #1 priority resign him right away ( ) but still there should be more talk. The guy IMO is one of the best all around TEs in football. Unlike a lot of guys these days, Miller actually blocks and blocks pretty dang well. He's a pretty good receiver, too. His numbers are even more impressive when you consider who he's had throwing him the ball during his short four year career thus far. Dude's a stud and I hope we do everything we can to retain him.

8. Braylon Edwards, WR, - Underrated - People still seem to remember him as the Braylon from Cleveland who led the league in dropped passes. Several Jets fans have told me (since I don't watch Jets games regularly) that Braylon hasn't had that big of an issue with dropped passes anymore and that he was one of the hardest workers on the Jets last year. I think he will have a great impact wherever he signs

9. Brandon Mebane, DT, Seahawks - underrated

10. Cullen Jenkins, DE, Packers. - Overrated, a good 3-4 end, but some people act like he is some elite player. If a 3-4 team picks him up at a reasonable price, then he will likely be a valuable piece, but I don't see him putting any team over the top.

11. Charles Johnson, DE, Panthers. underrated

12. Doug Free, OT, Cowboys. Underrated Free is one of the most athletic offensive lineman i have ever seen, he has only been a full 16-game starter once in his career, last season, so he was a bit raw and didn't completely dominant but he still had a strong season nonetheless. At his size [6-6, 320] and with his athletic ability he could be a franchise LT for some team.

13. Eric Weddle, S, Chargers.

14. Davin Joseph, G, Buccaneers.- underrated

15. Antonio Cromartie, CB, Jets - Overrated - last season this guy was burn at times, by mid level WR

16. Josh Wilson, CB, Ravens. - underrated

17. Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Giants. Underrated- people think he's bad RB but if he fixes his fumbling problems. He will be a good RB

18. Matt Light, OT, Patriots. Underrated:

Matt Light. He's 33, but he'd still upgrade the LT spot for half the league. Would be a great fit for a zone-blocking run-first team, as his pass-blocking has deteriorated a little, but he's still a fantastic run blocker.

19. Aubrayo Franklin, DT, 49ers. Overrated - FootballOutsiders credited him with literally no pressures this past season. Two-down run-stuffers are great, but you don't want a guy taking up at least 1/20 of your salary cap to only contribute on half of the defensive plays.

20. Michael Bush, RB, Raiders. Underrated, Never gets the chance cause of DMF

Jesus Christ...Panthers need to get Sidney Rice and Zach Miller at any and all cost...please GOD give our QB someone to throw to because if not, Steve Smith is going to break Cammy Cam's nose...

Our coach is defensive minded, but come on PLEASE...other than that...give me an O-Line...like seriously..we can't keep drafting QB's in the top 2 rounds and not giving them any fucking help on offense...sure Clausen was shell shocked, but shit...can you blame him, the nigga's only target was 5'9" ...and I still think we shoulda traded one of our backs, preferably Jonathan Stewart who, IMO is overrated...D'Angelo is one of the few RBs that averages like 5ypc for his career...if we had a passing game that dude would be SICK....

 

[Will Munny]

Sidney Rice really ain't worth top 15 money. My hunch is the Vikings cut Berrian and resign Rice. But dude has too many issues with his health and drew rosenhaus is his agent so there is a good chance Rice is gonna want a lot of money and I'm not sure the Vikings wanna resign him for a shitload.

 

[txboi_09]

You don't want manny lawson

Personally I hope Lawson resigns dude is a huge part of why the numeral run defense has been so good the last few years. I think people get too caught up in his low sack numbers and fail to realize how he contributes elsewhere. If anyone deserves to be of the niners its that bum parys haralson hes garbage against the run and can't get to the qb especially last year. Anyways I would like to see Sydney rice in a niners uniform they need that big WR to win jump balls cause Crabtrees lazy ass is not that

Steve Smith is leaving. But ya, Cam steppin in from day 1 with no receivers and a shaky line is gonna hurt. I thought one or two of ur best OL were hurt a decent bit of last year tho

yeah i'd like to have miller too, but i dont think they'll do it since they went out and got Shockey...but i think the O-line will be good once/if Otah returns. Otah, Gross, Kalil, and Wharton should help form a good line

 

[lamontbdc]

Naw niners need a fuckin corner and wr before anything.

True that i didn't see Jonathan joseph up there so i just left out CB. But d line is a major problem if Franklin leaves. That leaves them no Nose tackle and very thin at d line. You gotta have a good NT so Willis can do his thing when you playing a 3-4. They do nee wr help but i put that behind corner back and d line.

I hope y'all drop Clements so we can get'em for cheap. I'd love to have him as our nickelback. Also, ESPN got a interesting article about the possibility of Nnamdi going to SF.

he would be a good nickel back at this point in his career. but starting corner isn't gonna cut ti anymore. he was solid but the last 2 years he just falls for too many double moves. he plays like he has blazing speed but he doesn't. but he's great in run support, and would be solid at the nickel.

 

[young chad]

Steve Smith isn't leaving for sure, he's pissed at the owner (everyone in Carolina is) and he wants to WIN...if they put a fucking decent receiver on the other side of the field so he doesnt get triple teamed every play...he would fucking stay...also, yea our line was hurt, the years prior to that we had one of the best lines in the league, hence having two backs rush for over 1100 yards....

Also, I hate Jeremy Shockey, mostly because I hate the Giants, and he didn't do enough in NO for me to consider him a Saint..sooo imo, he's still an overrated ex Giants player, and I hate him...and he's injury prone as fuck...I would much rather Miller...but whatever...our prime concern is a second WR, especially with no Muhammed, and Steve Smith on the verge of snapping and killing all his teammates..

I really dont want to see D'Angelo go...unless it's for a TOP WR...Mike Goodson hasn't proven enough to me, he really hasn't...and Stewart was average without D'Angelo..Killa Cam is going to go down in flames unless something AMAZING happens in the next 5 weeks..

he's an olb in a 3-4. all we should be caring about is his sack numbers. Him and Parys are the worst pair in the league. Neither guy had more than 5 sacks. That's just not gonna cut it. I think Manny would do well in a 4-3. He's not built for a 3-4. Both need to go.

 

[Darius]

but Cam wont be the starting qb. I think the earliest we could see him would be weeks 5 or 6

 

[Darius]

who gonna snatch up Vernon Gholston?

 

[young chad]

but Cam wont be the starting qb. I think the earliest we could see him would be weeks 5 or 6

Poppycock....Cam is the starting QB...don't matter when he starts starting, he's the franchise QB, 1st overall pick...and when he does start...whenever..he's going to need a target to throw to...preferably like 3 targets....I never understood why teams that draft/trade for Franchise QBs don't surround them with WRs...only team I can remember doing that with a young QB is the JETS in recent memory (not counting teams that already had talented WR's before the QB got there)

 

[Darius]

poppycock indeed

but alot of people wanna make the Josh Freeman comparison, he didn't exactly have superstars to begin with. Kellen Winslow is always and unknown and Mike Williams always had talent but nobody thought he'd be a go to receiver after 1 season. and aside from that, who were his weapons in the receiving game? Cadillac? sammy stroughter? arrelious benn?

 

[#1 pick]

Josh Freeman was always extremely talented but it goes to show you how important is having the right coach for a Black QB. If he had Jim Mora Jr., Freeman would be in Jason Campbell mode. I hope Rivera is the coach who will built to Cam not to just his system or made him a running only QB.

He's a 4-3 OLB, he would be a major help for our defense in Atlanta. He also is a 4.5 guy so that also stands out. At OLB in our system, sacks aren't needed since we have Spoon. I don't think SF will resign him.

rivera has already said he won't be overly involved in the offense and so Mike Shula (coming from Jacksonville) will be coaching cam and Chudzinkski will be running the offense (coming from San Diego)

Shula did a solid job with Garrard and Andrew Zow back at Bama. We will see. Not all coaches in the NFL can coach a Black QB. It shouldn't matter but it does.

 

[KeepOnPushing]

Nnamdi Asomugha asking price may be $20 Mil , im sure it will soften up some, but still that be in the 16 to 17 mil range

thats just too much in my opinion, As great as he is he only plays one side of the field , he doesn't follow the best WR all over so you better hope u have a damn good 2nd,3rd, 4th corner..

cuz teams will just match there WR opposite side of Nnamdi , if im paying you that much money you gotta be able to follow around the guy , not stay glued to one side 99% of the time..

i dunno if i could do that deal , being 30 years old he'll probably give you another 3 really good seasons then start to decline .....and im sure he aint signing just no 3 year deal either.

i mean whats the realistic chances this dude is a shutdown corner at age 34,35, 36???....

i'd Rather get a far cheaper CB thats Productive (of course not as Productive as Nnamdi) and also invest my money in other position needs, cuz dude is bout to chew up salary

I think Steve Smith already has his mind set on leaving. At this point he just wants to be part of a winning team. He came out and said he doesn't wanna b the #1 receiver/go to guy anymore. That's not what someone would say if they also wanted to be the veteran leader on a rebuilding offense. Wouldn't be surprised if he was traded to SD

he wants out, no doubt, but its not like the panthers owe him a trade. if they can get something decent for him then sure they'd trade him in a minute, but they don't have to take a bad deal. the main problem is they have no leverage b/c smith has already voiced his displeasure and requested a trade.
