Obviously, the major markets are gonna be in RB, WR & DL. Demarco Murray, Frank Gore & Ray Rice are some of the major names for RB's. Dez Bryant, Michael Crabtree & Demaryius Thomas are the standouts on the WR list. And the biggest FA this year, Ndamukong Suh, headlines a deep list for DL. Obviously, there may be some cap casualties, so I hope to keep this list updated as the months pass.

Re: Official NFL Offseason Thread.

There are quite a few big names in Free agency this year. Will be interesting to see how the pieces get shuffled this year.

Re: Official NFL Offseason Thread.

I'm going to hold off on judging the quality of players until the tag players are done. Because that could mean no Murray, Suh, Dez, Demaryius Thomas, Justin Houston, JPP, Devin McCourty, Orakpo (not entirely sure he will tagged but it is a possibility). And with the Murray and Dez scenario one is getting franchised and the other will get transition tagged.

Also Jonathan Casillas is a Patriot, not on the Buccaneers.

I hope Wes Welker calls it a career as reports are suggesting.

The problem with tagging this year, is that pretty much every major player that would receive a tag would be earning Top 5 player money. And, for most teams, that would result in a very major cap hit, especially if it's a QB being tagged. I shudder to think about the Hawks even thinking about tagging RW. He'd literally eat up 95% of our cap space.

I doubt any player that isn't a QB or young elite WR will earn a tag this year, not even Suh.

Re: Official NFL Offseason Thread.

Jason Cole reports Denver are weighing the idea of cutting Peyton Manning.

My prediction is unless he takes a massive pay cut, he plays for Tennessee or Houston in 2015.

Damn. Life comes at you fast.

[jWILL253]

Re: Official NFL Offseason Thread.

Who exactly do they replace him with, though? They aren't even in a minor cap predicament ($26mil+ in cap space. with about a million in dead money), and can retain both Thomas' players, while keeping Manning and bringing in some depth.

Injuries and uncertainty aside, cutting Manning is asinine. Unless they are planning to move up in the draft, or make a major trade, he stays in Denver.

Buccaneers release Josh McCown.

Dumbest ****ing decision ever to sign him. We actually have a decent QB on the roster already.

Think he tries to find a starting job somewhere, or try to go to Baltimore as a backup, purely because he performed well in Trestman's offense?

No one is going to sign him as a starter.

Nope. Nobody in their right mind pays running backs anymore. They grow on trees.
