Pouha resigned with the Jets. Out of those others, I'm not certain that some of them fit our scheme. Others, like Rogers might not even be an upgrade over Amon Gordon. I think for a NT, we're going to need to draft one - maybe Ta'amu in RD 2 or Josh Chapman in the 3rd?
There are a few positions though that we could still upgrade in FA. Still quite a few safeties out there. Last year at safety, our depth consisted of Sabby and McGraw. Bringing in Atogwe or Bullitt gives our depth quite a significant upgrade.
Seems like there's a ton of middle linebackers and running backs out there as well. We could really improve our depth there affordably it seems. Winston signed for less than I thought he would so I think we've still got room under the cap to fit in a couple more free agents if we want them. It seems like we could bring in Green-Ellis, Tolbert, Bush or even Forsett cheaply. Given for what Hillis signed for and that there's seemingly a greater supply of backs than there is demand for them, we could probably nab one more back to rotate with Charles and Hillis.
Middle linebackers available include Hawthorne, McClain, Erin Henderson, Manny Lawson, etc... Any of which could give us depth at that position. Might not be the biggest position of need though since we have DJ and recently resigned Siler and Belcher for that position.
I like the idea of bringing in Schwartz though. When was his visit supposed to be? He could be a right guard for us or be solid depth at tackle. I know he and McNeill have been scheduled for a visit next week. Wonder if we'll keep those even with Winston signed.
As far as our scheduled visits go.... Marcus McNeill, Geoff Schwartz, Tolbert and Cotchery are all supposedly coming in. Cotchery makes a solid WR4 so I think I'd take any one of those guys actually.
