[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 490206, member: 2232"] Not sure if this belongs here? We never are players in free agency, but especially not for the marquee, big ticket-day one guys. But here are a few guys I think we could afford who won't be the big ticket lottery winners. And they'd all fit in well with us. Help us. [U][B]OT Jason Smith, Jets, age 27:[/B][/U] The #2 overall pick in 2009 Draft (Matthews & Raji later). Considered a bust. But: Smith earned a +4.6 @PFF run block grade and allowed just 1 sack this season in 265 snaps. #Jets Also a +2.0 pass block and +6.4 overall [U][B]OLB Paul Kruger, Ravens, age 27:[/B][/U] White guy, blue collar, hard working, would blend in well with the Packers clubhouse. Kruger notched nine sacks during the regular season and then three more against the Colts in the playoffs. He also was solid in coverage. [U][B]OLB Connor Barwin, Texans, age 26[/B][/U]: 6'4", 256 White guy, hard working, blue collar. Barwin is coming off a very disappointing 2012 campaign. After registering 11.5 sacks in 2011, he managed just three this past season. He's talented, so there's a good chance this was just a fluky year. Also in the 2009 Draft. He was arguably one of the most versatile athletes in the draft. He played both offensive (tight end) and defensive for the Bearcats, recording 12 sacks and 17 tackles for losses as a senior. He wowed scouts at the Combine, managing a 40 1/2-inch vertical leap and running the 40 in 4.59 seconds. [U][B]OLB Victor Butler, Cowboys, age 26[/B][/U]; Butler has shown some solid pass-rushing ability in his brief action behind DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer. No relation to LeRoy. [U][B]S Louis Delmas, Lions, age 26[/B][/U]: You know I hate this guy because he goes after ACL's (as well as heads, necks, chests), and he's been injury prone the past 2 years, like half our defense. But he's the enforcer that our defense could use back there. Very talented. [U][B]TE Jared Cook, Titans, age 26[/B][/U]: 6'5" 246. Jared Cook has tons of potential, but has never developed into the star many predicted. He hauled in 49 receptions for 759 yards in 2011, but regressed this past season. That could be blamed on poor quarterbacking though, so some team should take a chance on him. Yeah, his QB's were PATHETIC. He ran a 4.49 at his combine. He's what, IMO, Finley USED to be before he lost his speed.
