What do you consider “other team related need” vs free agency? Think you might have allocated too much to the former given that our rookie pool is currently less than $5M. A Clowney extension wouldn’t be a huge increase over his current base. But ya looks like they’re taking a different approach to FA, whether forced or not, and I’m okay with that vs breaking the bank for 1 or 2 guys. That’s assuming we round out the roster though. But I like the Fulton and Colvin signings so far. Edit: Just saw your other post on Clowney extension.
He's a guy that doesn't like to be challenged or questioned. If you do, he will quickly have you banned.
Top 50 remaining FA Spoiler 1. Nate Solder – Easily free agency’s top LT. DEN, NYG, HOU, and NE all reportedly have interest. 2. Kyle Fuller – Not technically FA; has Bears transition tag. 26yo CB coming off breakout season. 3. Ndamukong Suh – Still playing at extremely high level at age 31. His market’s been quiet so far. 4. Sheldon Richardson – 27yo DT with some off-field flags. Disruptive vs. run and pass on the field. 5. Justin Pugh – 27yo OG/RT has missed 13 games the past two seasons to back and knee injuries. 6. Dontari Poe – Massive NT shined on one-year, $8M Falcons deal last season. Turns 28 in Sept. 7. E.J. Gaines – 26yo was difference-maker CB when in lineup for Bills defense. Long injury history. 8. A.J. McCarron – Market has been cold. BUF or return to CIN may be best options at this point. 9. Kenny Vaccaro – 15th overall pick in 2013 draft offers safety/slot CB versatility. Just turned 27. 10.

Carlos Hyde to Browns Jerick McKinnon to 49ers. McKinnon as a featured back will be similar to us putting Lamar Miller there.
