NFL Wide Mock-Top 50 FA (or so)

[Hamster360]

Alright guys. I've spent a couple days on this. Had to keep editing as teams re-signed players and made cuts. I don't expect things to pan out exactly like this, but I think it will be close. It's tough determining which DT will go to which team.

 

Contracts are simply years and total. Not worried about bonuses or guaranteed and such.

 

Put all the Colts signings at the bottom together.

Good Job Overpayed for De La Puente and Nicks and Clemons

Good Job Overpayed for De La Puente and Nicks and Clemons

 

I might have. I didn't do this meaning this is where I think players should sign and what they should get. It's where I think they will go, and what I think they will get. I honestly do think Clemons contract is a little high, I should have been more careful. he's probably closer to 4year/18M$. DLP- maybe 3-4M$ high. Nicks is tough to say. All depends on his market.

you may be right on for their dollar amount.  Coltstildeath has no idea if you over-payed.

No one knows yet

As of right now, what I'm reading is.

 

• Johnson - Bucs
• Whitner - Cleveland
• Dansby - Cleveland

It would be so much easier to say "LB-Cleveland, S-Cleveland, DE-Tampa Bay" etc. Lol

I agree with sending Sanders to the Jets. I'm sure Ryan would love to get out of drafting a WR early so he can focus on defense as he always does.

 

Personally I like Ben Tate to the Giants more. They'll let either Wilson or Brown go eventually(both have durability concerns), and split carries with Tate. I think the Browns are leaning towards getting Hyde In the draft.

[COLTS449]

I doubt Cleveland gets Woodley. They Have Mingo, Kruger, and Sheard. I expect Mingo to break out next year. I also cant see Vick getting that much money.

I honestly like Tate in New york rather than Cleveland, I just think Cleveland will pay him more than New York will. I don't know if this effects your thinking, but the Giants signed Hillis today.

Sheards numbers have dropped every year, other than passes defensed, and he missed 3 games last year. He's going into his contract year, and can bet cut with no cap hit. They can upgrade this position if they want, they have the money.

Cleveland switched from a 4-3 to a 3-4 this season, moving Sheard from DE to OLB. Made the transition well, but the combination of missing the better part of 4 games and the position switch caused the dip in his numbers. Sheard will be a starter this year. If mingo beats out anyone, it will be Kruger, and it would be Kruger to go at the end of the season, not Sheard.

Maybe they like Hillis because you know what you get with him. I still think they would love Tate. But it may come down to money as you said. But let's not forget, Cleveland isn't exactly a place people are jumping out of their socks to go to with all that's gone on with the staff. But then again New York has never shown a propensity to be bold when it comes to FA or the draft.

I think Hillis is just a cheap depth move. He's like Bradshaw, a cheap veteran with high upside, but some issues. Cleveland is going to have a nasty defense. Whitner, Kruger, Dansby, a few others. Cleveland will be a QB and RB away from challenging for a wildcard. If Tate and Vick end up in Cleveland, they will have a very good team. Don't worry though, they'll draft Manziel and go 5-11
