Crawled Through 5 FB Fields
Some early guesses:
— S Tyrann Mathieu—CORE—3 years @ $32M + incentives; $12M guaranteed.
— WR Larry Fitzgerald—CORE—1-2 years @ $7M per, if he doesn’t retire.
— OLB Chandler Jones—CORE—franchise tag. Goal: 4 years @ $56M + incentives and $22M guaranteed.
— DT Calais Campbell—UFA—he will get more $$$ elsewhere (comp value), plus drafting Nkemdiche and starting Gunter opposite looks like the future plan.
— WR Michael Floyd—UFA—same as Campbell (comp value)---putting him on trade market the last two years is a tip of the hand.
— G Evan Mathis—-If he plays well and wants to return, another 1 year $3M deal awaits
— DT Frostee Rucker—with another good year in rotation, a one year $1.5M awaits.
— RB Chris Johnson—if he proves he’s a #2 RB fit, another 1 year $2M+ incentives deal awaits
— RB Andre Ellington—UFA—he will get more $$$ elsewhere (comp value)
— S Tony Jefferson—UFA—will get more $$$, plus they drafted his successor (comp value)
— TE Jermaine Gresham—big year gets him 2-3 year deal @ $4M a year.
— OLB Alex Okafor—UFA—may have trouble making 2016 team. Might have some late round or player for player trade value to rush needy team like Cowboys.
— ILB Kevin Minter—UFA—if he accepts Keim’s 2 down ILB $$$ offer, he sticks, otherwise he make more $$$ elsewhere (comp value)
— WR Jaron Brown—if the $$$ is right, they re-sign him.
— S D.J. Swearinger—at reasonable $$$, he sticks
— RB Stepfan Taylor—UFA—may have trouble making the 2016 team, as roster spots will be precious and defensive rookies all look good on STs.
---TE Darren Fells---CORE---3 years @ $3M + incentives per year.
---DE Josh Mauro---if Campbell moves on, Keim will sign Mauro to an incentive laden deal at a base of $2M per.
These are guesses as to what Steve Keim may have in mind…not necessarily my own personal choices. It will be very hard to see some of these players get gobbled up in FA.
