AndySG Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I said one before I saw the list. I think we get Mack and Sanu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanu was definitely questionable as a big name. Borderline value. But it's MY list... :p Edited March 8, 2016 by ShanghaiDirtyBird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrews31cain21 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think we will go after Mack, Irvin, and Trevathan...but only sign 1 of them. If we sign one of these guys, then we will probably drop down to the mid tier FA and look around there. I dont think we will sink our Cap on 2 high priced FA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast-N-Da-Sheetz Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Probably 0 big names, but a boatload of bargain bottom feeders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apl2g Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think they sign 1 big name and a bunch of value picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clownorg Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Zero. But I don't agree with the we suck and always will part. I just don't see us trying to overpay and blow our stash on 1 guy when Jacksonville can easily outbid us & you know with Bradley as HC he's gonna be interested in the exact same players Quinn is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 1. Unless we get "lucky" and a guy just picks us. Then 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnasty Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think the Falcons could do really well going after Fairley and Hardy. A couple of guys that won't cost too much in relation to the rest of the big names, but would bring some serious talent to the DL. Yes, the character issues are there, but those guys are the type that can provide a good return on investment. However, I'm aware of the unrealistic nature of those guys being signed by FO I'd love to see Irvin land here, but I question whether they'll have the money to convince him it's worth it. Mack would be a huge upgrade at C and would do wonders for the OL, but again, he will get expensive very quickly as the best C in the class.

falconsd56 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well honestly what is a " big name" I mean is Bruce Irvin really a big name?? That said I think we end up with 1 "splash " type signing and 3 or 4 mid range FA. I REALLY hope that splash signing is Mack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard_falcon Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So far we've been linked to a lot of "big" names: Trevathan, Mack, Iloka, Nelson, Schwartz, Irvin, Howard, Benjamin. Maybe through in Sanu and Laurinaitis as well. I definitely think we'll come away with two "top" guys. Even if we miss out on someone listed above, we will look for another big name instead. For example, I think we go after Wisniewski if we can't get Mack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Well, being that most big name free agent signings end up cut before their contract expires due to being overpaid, not sure not signing a bunch of them means we suck. I hope we do 1-2 max, and be very selective in doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShanghaiDirtyBird Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 One with a chance for one more (the borderline big name). Sanu will get similar money as Trevathan and Iloka, which I would have much rather had one of those two. Or even Benjamin. But, we'll see how it goes. I feel like we'll end up slightly overpaying for the two big names we do get, but hopefully we supplement them with more good value guys like Shelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
