I want the top free agents. I’ve run the numbers and it’s just barely possible. So assuming the Cards get outbid where are the longer shots who might be worth a chance even if it’s on one year make good contracts. I’ve already mentioned the guards. What about pass rushers?
Malcom Koonce seemed destined for bigger things. Then he got nicked up, eventually suffering a season ending injury. He’s worth a shot if he doesn’t price himself beyond reality. I’m hearing Trey Hendrickson is available for trade if the offer is right. This is one of those guys who wants to show up his current team. He also wants to reestablish himself to collect a big contract next year. He might be tough to keep, but he’ll have a big year if traded. He’s likely to be the most productive Edge available. Charles Omenihu is another injury returner. He’s solid, but not a star. He may be a good mentor for a decent draft pick. Looking for a late round gamble or maybe a UDFA, try Josiah Silver, New Hampshire. It will take at least 2 years to get productivity, but he’s a gem in the rough.
I think the Cards need a veteran ballhawk at CB. How about Rasul Douglas? He won’t be cheap, but he heads up the second tier of available free agents. I think Williams might actually be a better CB, but he’s not yet the ballhawk Douglas has become.
The best DT in free agency is likely BJ Hill. He can anchor and collapse the pocket. He won.’t be cheap $12-13 mil a year. He would be solid if the Cards don’t target a draft winner.
Always interested in seeing suggestions I may have misses.
