I'd rather bring in Jabar Gaffney than Lloyd or Hackett.

Not really but I don't think its something that we can do much about. I say have a camp competition. I'm not going to lose much sleep over it. If we can sign someone good do it, if not John Carney and Cundiff get the call.

Max Starks isn't good.

For the record, my plan consisted of specific player signings...
Signing the right players is paramount in Free Agency. At this point I would sign: (G) Jake Scott, 5 year answer at Guard (WR) DJ Hackett or (WR) Jabar Gaffney, 2-3 year answer at Wide Receiver (CB) Travis Fisher, give him a 1 year deal like the Lions did last season Tight End isn't as pressing a need in my mind because we have Gonzalez and I don't think we'll have to rely upon two Tight End sets. I would give Allan an opportunity to establish himself as a blocking TE like Gonzalez did. At FB I think I shy away from older declining veterans. We should be able to find a quality player at that position in April. There's a chance that Schmitt's still around in the 5th Round. I believe we have two picks there... One of them would go for him or one of the other FB's in the draft class. I also think we can pass on Max Starks... If we land Jake Long we can move McIntosh over. If we don't there are other Tackles available at Left and Right Tackle. |

Jake Scott would be an excellent signing, I just have a feeling some team will try to offer more, furthermore what will make this guy even want to come to KC in the first place? Good Post.

I think fro the most part we agree except for Starks. I actually don't think Starks would cost us any more than a comparable UFA would. I'd go after him but if the Steelers match then so be it. As for TE and FB I'm with ya, my point is it will not cost anything to fill those gaps. In the end I think we are looking at two big FA signings at the most with Jared Allen getting PAID. the rest of our needs will be signed on the cheap or draft picks which I'm on board with. |

Also drafting a DT at the number 5 spot makes sense financially as they bring a ton of money in free agency market. I’d rather spend 36 million on a guard or tackle than 50 million on Tommy Kelly

Colts free agent G Jake Scott will visit with the Titans today. After losing Jacob Bell to the Rams, the Titans are looking at other options at guard. Scott has also received interest from the Broncos and Texans. Source: Nashville Tennessean http://www.rotoworld.com/content/pla...aspx?sport=NFL |

You can never be reliant on any one player being on the board once you go on the clock. There must always be a contigency plan.
Long would be my priority though if he's there. Quote:
What happened with Jordan Gross? Did he resign in Carolina? I might also take a stab at signing Olivea. He'll be more affordable than Starks I think... And will give us some extra room in case another FA catches our eye later in the off-season. |
