[quote=RunOverByHubbard post_id=1277626]It would be amazing? Two back up players (Snowden and Chaisson) if you ask me, with Chaisson having potential to be good. But, sadly, Chaisson makes T. Wilson look like the scrub that he is. I look for free agent/drafting of another edge rusher.[/quote]i meant it would be great if we keep Koonce and Chaisson

[quote=HesterLayes post_id=1277640]i meant it would be great if we keep Koonce and Chaisson[/quote]I knew what you meant and I agree. I don't think either guy on his own gives you a ton of comfort that your edge position is set, but with the two of them I think it looks pretty damn good.

It seems as though the team is likely not opening the wallet as wide as our FAs want and they are exploring their own markets. Hopefully some guys return after not getting massive offers elsewhere. I'd really like Spillane to be re-signed prior to the distampering period.

[quote=HesterLayes post_id=1277650]Spillane and Butler for me...Adam[/quote]I would really like Adam Butler back too, but I don't think he'll be willing to settle for the right level of contract until he sees some more limited interest from other teams in FA. Understandably, he's looking for money that matches his performance, but at age 31 I don't think that kind of money is coming his way. I think we have to be patient and hope he gives us a chance after he explores the market.

[quote=HesterLayes post_id=1277640]i meant it would be great if we keep Koonce and Chaisson[/quote]Oh, I see. Yes for sure. There is the uncertainty in Koonce's rebuilt knee (ACL) but these days, those fixes usually work. I don't want to discuss further as this is supposed to be just a list of transactions, not our preferences, hopes, and options.

Not sure if those goes here or in FA thread…

figured as much...decent tackler but lots of injuries

[BoKnows81]

We're really thin at CB. Need to address in FA and draft.

[DanKD]

I thought Hobbs was great early on but he really has not been the same since injuries starting happening.

Getting rid of Andre James is by far our biggest move.

[quote=mranquales post_id=1278096]Getting rid of Andre James is by far our biggest move.[/quote]For sure. Dropping a backup OL will really move the needle

[chucker]

I am not an Andre James believer. But I'm a big believer in OL depth so I'd have liked to see us keep him as a backup.

[quote=chucker post_id=1278122]I am not an Andre James believer. But I'm a big believer in OL depth so I'd have liked to see us keep him as a backup.[/quote]I like the idea of him as a reserve OL. He can pkay C and I think is a better G. I'm glad he isn't starting for us though
