[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1025856, member: 6578"] Everyone knows Safety is a massive gaping hole in our lineup. Here's a list of scheduled UFAs at the position that I've noted or would like IF at the right contract...plus the top end guys I don't think we will go after but who knows: [B][U]Old but maybe?[/U] Micah Hyde 33yrs old[/B] - reunion if price is low at his age maybe? [B]Jayron Kearse 30 yrs old[/B] - we are familiar with him having spent the last few years in Dallas and Detroit/Minnesota his career before that. *I really like him as an aged vet signing hoping to rebound with a good team...he's played high level ball before and struggled this season IMO - could be a lowcost signing. [B][U]Under 30 still with either high level play at times or still possibly ahead of them[/U] *Chauncey Gardner Johnson 26 yrs old[/B] - He's coming off signing a one year prove it deal with DET for $6.5M...he has played some high level safety over the years since being drafted by Saints and traded to Eagles then. He's started 44 out of 58 possible games he was active...12 INTs 245 tackles...but barely played this year for DET because of injury. If he keeps having a solid playoffs though for Detroit now that he is back and producing there is a chance Detroit may try to keep him through extending. If they don't this 7.86 RAS safety that is still young could be a guy Gute and co likes enough to sign....perhaps even not just a one year deal. [B]Darnell Savage 26 years old[/B]...I think in a best world Savage offers or agrees to come back sub-$3M a year on a prove it year...that's new money, he has void hits coming too anyways...3 would be like paying him $8.5 but if we don't sign him he still hits us with 5.5M void money. [B]Chuck Clark 29 yrs old[/B] - was a solid safety for the Ravens and then last year traded as a cap issue to the Jets...and tears his ACL before this season starts. With the injury a lot is going to depend on medicals, but he's likely going to be looking for a one year deal again with someone to prove health and hopefully get one more decent payday in his career...who better for him than a team threatening to be quite decent in 2024? [B]Taylor Rapp 26yrs old[/B] - took a cheap one year $1.77M deal with Buffalo after being very solid in LA only to likely play his way into another year for another one year deal situation. If we are going to do some one off year contracts like we did last year (Owens, Ford and such) I'd embrace a Rapp signing in such a manner. He tackles very well so run support from the safety position is there. [B]*K'Von Wallace[/B] - He was a mid season cut by Arizona despite playing serious snaps claimed by Urban as "numbers game" and then acquired by TEN from Arizona in hopes to help their defense and he for sure did.

[B]Xavier McKinney 24yrs old[/B] - He and Duggar are battling for IMO the #2 and #3 positions in price tags this offseason for safeties. [B]Kamren Curl 25yrs old (24 right now)[/B] - This seventh round pick has earned some GREEN...according to spotrac he is actually going to make more than McKinney or Duggar...but I am not quite there but fully admit he is really good and VERY young. One of the best young safeties no one knows. [B]Antoine Winfield Jr 25 yrs old[/B]...Would be a MEGA signing. Best free agent in the position this year and would likely garner $15M+ a year deal.
