[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 809066"] That's certainly a worthy consideration. While I consider this free agency "want list" exercise premature, for those so engaged perhaps it would be best to plumb the rosters of the teams at the bottom of the following linked list of projected 2019 cap space based on current contracts in place: Be sure to click on the 2019 tab: [URL]https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/[/URL] I'll say this much. I would look askance at Graham-type "win now" FAs in a third contact or beyond for top $. I would not even sniff at those players unless they are coming off peak performance seasons and have exhibited durability with no major injuries and few missed games over the last couple of seasons. A prime example would be Earl Thomas, assuming he can still command a big contract, which is doubtful but possible if some teams think he's the "missing piece" and believe he's recovered from his injury. The way I see it is he'll be 30 years old, his season ended in 2016 with a broken tibia, and he fractured the same lower leg, perhaps the same tibia, to end his 2018 season. No way, the risk is very high. This team is not a safety away from a championship roster. I'd be looking at second contract players who have been on the rise, have been durable, currently play on a team that is cap strapped for 2019, and has depth at the position whereby that player is not a high priority. Of course those teams might be able to slash vet contracts to pick up cap space and place a priority on that player. But since the entire exercise is a crap shoot at this juncture, these considerations should get to more likely possibilities if there is such a thing. [/QUOTE]
