2013 Free Agents

[CaliforniaChief]

Who is anticipated to be available? I know it's impossible to know for sure.

I know Joe Flacco's going to get franchised. Do you see any on this list that you'd like to see with the Chiefs next year?

Matt Moore (QB)
Tarvaris Jackson (QB)
Reggie Bush (RB) Franchised?
Felix Jones (RB)
Shonn Greene (RB)
Danny Woodhead (RB)
Greg Jennings (WR) Franchised?
Mike Wallace (WR)
Wes Welker (WR)
Danny Amendola (WR) Can't imagine Rams letting him go.
Tony Gonzalez (TE) Yeah, I know.
Brent Grimes (CB)
Ed Reed (S)

Also, a lot of people think Ray Lewis is going to get cut this offseason.

I know there's a lot more there.

My plan would be to re-sign Bowe/Albert and make a push for one of the other WR's. I'd also be interested in Lewis to help lead our defense. But I'm just throwing stuff out there right now.

Truthfully, you can find backup RBs anywhere and I'd be fine going into next season with Charles, Draughn and Gray; but I would still take a flyer on Jones if there isn't too much competition and the price is relatively low.



Who do you want?

We have too many holes to fill with one draft.

Top priorities have to be QB, #2 CB, #2 WR, #2 MLB, DE and depth across the board.

EDIT: FS as well. Kendrick Lewis play time needs to be limited.

I agree with your assessment of needs except I would put a receiver ahead of a need at CB. Arenas seems to be improving a bit and Baldwin sucks. All this is assuming Bowe stays.

I won't argue, but I'm keeping #2 CB at numero uno outside of QB.

You just can't trot out two slow, 5'9" CBs in this league. Flowers is amazing, no doubt, but how do we ever expect to defend goal line fades and deep routes from guys like Calvin Johnson and Julio Jones?

Like I said, I think Arenas is actually a 'pretty good' NCDB(you can quote me on that). We should be able to find a talented CB to start opposite Flowers in the 2nd. Preferably 6'-6'1" with some decent speed...

I'd put #2 WR right behind #2 CB just because I think we'll see such an astronomical difference in our receiver's ability, and offense in general, once we get Geno that it won't be of as much importance as shoring up the defense.

What a lot of people aren't mentioning is DE as well.

Everyone's pretty much on board with bringing in an entirely new front office and coaching staff. It seems most want to stick with the 3-4 but switch to an attacking, 1-gap style. If we do that, do we roll into next season with T Jax, Pitoitua, and Bailey? Do they even have the skill to play well in any system? I think Dorsey's as good as gone so do we make a run for Randy Starks?

Man, we have a lot of holes..

Here's how I see it:

Positions that need upgraded (or filled due to vacancy) by next season, no question's asked:

1. QB
2. #2 CB
3. #2 WR
4. RDE

Positions that are definitely a liability but we probably won't be able to upgrade by next season:

1. FS
2. #2 MLB

Positions that we can roll with what we have for now, but need to look into changing within the next 2 years to make a legitimate, deep playoff run:

1. LDE
2. #3 WR
3. TE

On top of all of that, we are in ridiculous need of depth across the board.

You can fill those positions in free agency or the middle rounds.
