Not Murray. Maybe Suh, I'd want him more for the attitude than the play. Been awhile since I've seen our defense with some nastiness and some fight...not since Sapp, at the very least.

Some names to throw out there:

Justin Forsett, Knowshon Moreno. Both RBs showed flashes last season, and our RB situation is unknown at best. If we don't intend on targeting an RB early in the draft, I'd like to see us go after one of these guys. Both have a lot to prove.

Jeremy Maclin, Eddie Royal, Cecil Shorts. WRs that I feel would add an explosive dynamic to the team. I haven't seen as much of shorts as the other two, but Maclin and Royal are both guys who play the deep ball quite well. That should give the offense that big play power, give us the option of going deep and force defenses to play more honest, keeping safeties back and opening up the running game.

I like our front 7, so no real targets there for FA. Would be down to pick up some prospect type draft picks for the DL though, have some great vets who can drop serious knowledge on younger players. If we switch schemes to a 3-4, we might want to add a LB or two.

Obviously the secondary needs a lot of help, so I'd like to see that addressed as well (especially SS, Tyvon Branch has been dead weight), but that depends on how much faith the administration has in our younger CBs...Hayden, McGill, Checkwa, etc. Where are these guys going, up or down? I think the FA signing period will answer a lot of questions in terms of where this administration wants to focus.

Moreno is too prone to injury, he's a glass RB. I'd rather see Forsett. Murray would be waste of money, IMO.

Maclin would be my first choice at going after a WR. Dez is going to be too pricey, and too small a chance he's not returning anyway.

Personally, I'd really like to see some help for our atrocious defense. Some CBs and a safety maybe, but I haven't looked into who's available from FA.

How about name the possible ppl to be signed. you can only afford one big dog. Suh would take all Dez take all Murray all. D Thomas all. So get 1 beat and 10 scrubs or go good to mediocre all across board.

I'd love suh but the staying weak everywhere else will hurt.

Shorts isn't really that explosive. He gets open with his route running, but the guy just drops too many passes. He's a very hard worker though and he doesn't have the huge diva attitude like a lot of WRs. He'll make a nice catch here and there, but he flat out drops the easiest of easy catches.

I like Shorts and all, but I'm kinda glad we probably wont be seeing those huge drive killing drops from him anymore.

If you guys can get him for about 4 mil a year, then that would be a good deal. If you guys, or somebody else pays him the 35ish mil over 4-5 years like I've seen projected, that'll be way overpay imo.
