Who are your top FA choices, and why?

[Nightfyre]

You define your own parameters, choose the player, and indicate why they are your top choice.

1) Jairus Byrd. Safety play hindered this team in a terrible way last year. Even the lay-fan could see it and it was even worse than that with additional, more in-depth review. Additionally, this draft class is super weak at safety. Ergo, Mr. Byrd.


2) Lamarr Houston. Moar Interior Passrush. Make it happen. Actually, this is also a great class in the draft, so not only would this signing increase the interior pass rush of the first string unit, but also would allow us to use our draft picks in the pursuit of additional depth on the defensive line.

3) Emmanuel Sanders. This is the deep threat we need opposite of Bowe. Not only that, he runs great underneath routes and has excellent hands. A perfect fit for the Andy Reid offense. The wide receiver class is pretty good this year in the draft as well, so we could be looking at using that third round pick to bolster our WR corps.

4) Jermichael Finley. This guy can't seem to stay healthy - which works to the advantage of the Chiefs as they can sign him to an affordable contract and provide Alex Smith with the premium talent at tight-end he covets. This is a great pick-up if Finley can stay healthy.

5) Jake Locker. Locker will be cut by the Titans, who don't want to pay his option. The dude is a legit option to blossom into a franchise QB if he can stay healthy. He will be a strong backup to Alex Smith and enable us to trade Chase Daniel in a Kevin Kolb/Matt Flynn like-deal.

I think I'd be using the lack of cap dollars on something more pressing.

Sounds like he's going to be cut. RT @RapSheet #Panthers attempting to trade WR Steve Smith. Given $7M cap number& age (34), seems unlikely.

I said over the weekend that the #Chiefs might have interest in Carolina safety Mike Mitchell, but there’s been no movement there, as of now

A person with knowledge of the situation tells me the #Chiefs indeed have interest in Devin Hester. But a lot of teams do.

We're not getting into a bidding war for Hester.

Mike Mitchell is intriguing.

[The Franchise]

Hester would be a ****ing waste of a roster spot. He can't play WR and we don't have a spot to free up just for a KR/PR.

[O.city]

No to Hester, unless it's the Vet min.

Yes to Sproles

[OldSchool]

Stevie Brown anyone?

[BossChief]

Please, don't waste money on Hester...unless its a min deal or close to it.

[Titty Meat]

Mitchell would be a great signing

He plays SS though. Not much different between him and Abdullah IMO.

Wouldn't be bad, that's for sure. And probably quite a bit cheaper than Byrd.

Maybe they plan on moving Berry? I doubt it but one can hope...

If Berry gets back his ability to track the deep ball.
