Who ya got?

Sony Michel is out there among other Miami players.
 
Detroit cut former 1st round LB Jarrad Davis. Don't know if he's hurt or just got beat out by their 6th round LB that was the star of camp.
 
OLB Devon kennard is getting cut after two injry prone seasons in Arizona… moderate pass rush skills, excellent against the run… probably not going to get an offer to start and may be cheap for a season
 
I think any trade for a 3rd or lower has to be on the table and can at least get us a solid backup, if not a starter.

This was a surprise move though. He was penciled in as their starter but they let 2 younger guys who cost less stay. If he plays in a 3-4, he's definitely someone you have to kick the tires (assuming he is healthy).
 
Duke Johnson RB. If they aren't happy with who they have as their RB2 or even RB3, they could look at Michel or Johnson. I still think Warren took the RB2 spot with RB3 probably going to Snell because of his ST's.
 
With Warren being a pleasant and extremely cheap surprise, i really think its silly to waste cap on a retread RB at this point… they need at least another olineman, maybe two… and probably an olb and ilb upgrade at backup. They may need a safety as well… at lets assume 2 million a pop to address those at the bare minimum level a serviceable upgrade will cost, they will already need to either not retain boykin or trade Rudolph just to make it work cap wise.. or push money out into the future…

Unless RB becomes an issue at this point you don’t address things

I hear ya unless they come at about the same price as Snell or McFarland. Hopefully, we don't run with Najee and then Snell and McFarland. They haven't cut it for 3 years now. But, OL, OLB, ILB and even the secondary should all be on their radar to at least improve depth, if not compete for a starting spot. And, if they can give up a 3rd or 4th for a legit starter at one of our top 2 need areas, they should consider it.
 
KAHHHHHHHHN

OL and ILB make it happen

You know we always love the pedigree of a former first rounder, gotta think Jarrad Davis on the radar as well as any OL that isn’t a complete bucket of suck…we’ve got that position covered on the OL
 
Roche is being released. He has to be better than our current backups but maybe they'll be someone better being released.
 
Phillip Lindsay is out there. We don't have a guy like him, or atleast a guy who's done it at the NFL level. He is the definition of change of pace back.
 
Dohnovan West-
Thought he was a draftable center prospect.

Bubba Bolden-
Again thought he was a draftable prospect and with Kazee being injury and Killebrew not healthy could be a nice addition to see what he can do.

Roderick Johnson-
Not going to be a lot on the market for tackles but Johnson has experience at LT and RT. Freaky size at 6-7 and 36" arms and is only 26.

Nothing much out there yet. Maybe after the teams trim down this afternoon.
 
I just posted in other thread- Quincey Roche should be signed immediately
 
Le’Raven Clark was just cut by the Cryboys. Another OT the Stillers should kick the tires on.
 
OL Zack Bailey was released by the Chargers. Jump on him.
